The Venue

Getting There

Here's the address with link to a map:

41965 Mesa Verdugo
Temecula, CA 92592

The venue is about 60-90 minutes outside of Los Angeles and LAX, and about 60 minutes from Ontario airport.

Parking, ceremony, venue map

Parking is available, but may be limited depending on the amount of guests with cars. We highly recommend carpooling if possible. Using hired cars or taxis between your hotel and the party will let you look stylish, eliminate the hassle of parking, and allow you to party as hard as your soul will tolerate.

If you are driving, simply pull into the property and find a spot. Please be aware that there is absolutely no street parking allowed.

Please checkout the venue map to familiarize yourself with the location of on-site parking, ceremony, and other highlights.

Staying

Temecula is a tourist destination, so there's no shortage of accommodations for both families and couples.

For the romantics, there is an abundance of resorts and bed and breakfasts in the heart of the wine country. Many of them are within minutes of the venue.

And for the families, downtown Temecula has a number of budget-friendly options available.

If you're staying for the weekend, there's also plenty to do, such as wine tasting at many of the vineyards around the venue or food tasting in Old Town Temecula.

The Vows

Preston's Vow

Dear Lynne: We are here today because we've made a promise to each other; a promise to support each other through life, through both hard times, and good times, and to go on adventures in twain. It is a promise to go to the unknown with you, on the open road, and seek new envelopes and frontiers to conquer.

"However sheltered the port, and however calm the waters, you shall not anchor there; afoot and lighthearted, take to the open road; healthy, free, the world before us; the long brown path before us leading wherever we choose."*

We make this promise because we've found trust and companionship in each other, with uncommon confidence that we won't fail one another no matter what the challenges may be. I choose you. I know you're the right person because you have been selfless, courageous, and compassionate to me; you embrace my entire person and my interests in your heart; you motivate me to succeed regardless the odds. I now make this vow to you, and it is an unbreakable commitment to honor, respect, and celebrate our kinship. I promise you all this, and I choose to make this vow to you because you're my love, and indeed my greatest adventure.

*Walt Whitman: Song of the Open Road

Lynne's Vow

Preston, I've waited for this moment for a long time. I've known for so long that we were meant to be together, and now we're finally here. I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

I love you and everything about you. You're my muse, my best friend, my partner. No one has ever inspired me the way you do. You are strong, sweet, and fun. I love the way you can think in perspectives other than just your own, how you never give up, and how you make me want to be a better woman.

I promise to be your best friend, your biggest fan, your loudest cheerleader, your strongest support, your voice of reason, and your loving and loyal wife. I promise to be anything you need me to be. Even if the world turns against you, I won't.

I make these promises to you today and I'll keep them forever. For the rest of my life, you will be my one true love, and I will be your wife. I can't wait to see what life holds for us.
