“I've been to this venue multiple times now and I would highly recommend! I've been a handful of times as a photographer for work, photographing a wedding day and the staff are great to work with! And I've also been as a wedding guest and it's been refreshing. Again as guests, the staff are great. The food is fabulous. I LOVE their downstairs area. 10/10 one of my favorite places”
“We had the pleasure to hold our wedding ceremony and reception here at Lotuswood Organic Wellness Farm in early September 2025. Lotuswood was extremely flexible with us, allowing us to have a custom setup with both the ceremony and reception dinner being held inside the barnhouse. This allowed us to have a nature based wedding, while also preventing pesky bugs and potential weather incidents from interfering with our wedding. We had a ton of DIY ideas and Lotuswood was extremely flexible with us, even allowing us to bring our own equipment and decor. The events coordinator, Christine, was great to work with; she was accommodating with our questions and got back to us usually within a few hours.
The venue itself was beautiful with the grounds being outstanding for photos. The majority of our catering was food cooked by Andrea. This was a special favor for us as we requested specific dishes and I must give top shoutout for Andrea, as she even went out of her way to familiarize herself with a dish to make sure she met our expectations. After our first taste tasting, we were sure food was going to be a top highlight for the wedding. As it turns out, our guests are still talking the food and we felt we got incredible value out of the top quality food.
If we had to nitpick for any feedback to give, it would be that staff size seemed just enough for our party of 60 guests. There were some last minute adjustments that staff ultimately resolved but it would have been a bit more peace of mind on the day if there were more staff on standby.
All in all, this venue is genuinely a hidden gem and we would 100% recommend Lotuswood Organic Wellness Farm to any couple looking for a upscale rustic venue with top tier food, hospitality and flexibility!”
“We had an amazing experience with Villa Venezia for my Daughter's March, 2026 wedding. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Margherita Rotundo, who guided us every step of the way. From our initial tour a year in advance, to tastings, planning, and making sure every detail was perfect. Her communication, organization, and support made the entire process stress-free. My daughter wanted a Harry Potter themed wedding that still felt elegant and tasteful, not overdone. Villa Venezia helped us achieve that perfectly. The result was magical, sophisticated, and beautiful. The day of the wedding ran flawlessly. Guests raved about the food, from cocktail hour through dinner, and the service was outstanding. The staff also made sure the bride and groom had time to relax, enjoy their food, and truly take in the moment. The venue itself is stunning, clean, modern, and perfect for photos, even for a March wedding. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Villa Venezia to anyone planning a wedding!”
“We went to the Orange County Fair and it was nice. It used to be much bigger. Overall the fairgrounds itself are nice, big and clean. They host a lot of other events & car racing as well.”
“We had our Mother's 80th Birthday party at Shady Acres Organic Farm yesterday and it was absolutely perfect! Ana is an insanely wonderful cook! OMG the food was outstanding! She is also very kind, very accommodating, very good with communicating, and made the process so easy. The barns are beautiful and clean and bright and cheery. The grounds are gorgeous. The prices are extremely reasonable. This is a hidden gem and we are so happy to have found it! Thank you Ana!!!”
