Has anyone been to/had a wedding at Villa di Rocca (LA County)? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Thank you! Good suggestion. I'll look into the communities of this type, perhaps it's even better to try to find California than specifically weddings-related.

Would you rather have desert for breakfast, or breakfast for dinner? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Either! Both! I could really eat any food I crave for any meal - a dessert for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, anything goes. But now that I think about it, desserts seem to appear VERY often as a meal substitute for me.

Has anyone been to/had a wedding at Villa di Rocca (LA County)? (lemmy.ml)
 

We're getting married next April (LA), and we're currently looking into wedding venues. We don't plan a big wedding, there will be around 70-80 guests. Still, the prices I saw are astronomical, honestly. The idea is to have both the ceremony and the reception outdoors, and ideally to have the catering and everything included. So far, Villa di Rocca looks like our best option. I actually really like it, the natural surroundings are beautiful, take a look. We're not aiming for something super fancy, like an elegant ballroom or whatever. In practical terms, the price, the location, everything works for us (not to mention there is enough parking space). The only thing is - they only have one review, and, okay, it's 5 stars, but it's only one. Yes, we will actually visit the place before we commit, of course. I was just wondering if there's any chance that someone here has been to a wedding there and could share some first-hand impressions? For example, I checked some venues that looked lovely and were not too expensive, but the reviews describe the toilets as abysmal, or the staff are snooty, or the food is horrible... It's a very long shot to hope that some of you got married there, I know, but if you at least attended a wedding in Villa di Rocca - help me out here.

What are you saving money for right now? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Been saving for the wedding since the beginning of the year. It is going better than we thought, but at the same time, everything is so much more expensive than we imagined. But as for the saving itself, I'm positively surprised how small (and I mean really small) things add up. Okay, we are two people, and it's been four months. Just, we got excited when we checked where we were yesterday, but almost immediately after that, we looked into some of the things from the wedding list, and now the amount we saved suddenly doesn't seem that great. Anyway, I drifted. Saving for the wedding, and I choose to say it's going well.
