Calamigos Equestrian

I could not have been more pleased, my reception at the Calamigos Equestrian was remarkable, It was wonderful she helped us on every little detail, I relied on her expertise since i did not have a coordinator, everything turned out perfect.All of my out of town guests felt very welcome and comfortable during their stay.

We were very pleased with our experience at Calamigos Equestrian in Burbank. Our wedding ceremony and reception were perfect! Virginia (wedding coordinator) is awesome and was always available to help us out when we needed her. The banquet captain (I believe his name was Steven) was on top of his game making sure we and all of our guests were satisfied. All of the servers were polite and hospitable. The food was INCREDIBLE! Our guests commented on how it was some of the best wedding food they had ever eaten!Everything was in immaculate condition from the ceremony site (The Little White House) to the reception room (The Polo Room). While Calamigos is expensive in my opinion, it was definitely worth every penny. We made use of their chocolate fountain which was a big hit with the guests. We also had them set up a candy buffet for our guests as their wedding favor. Everyone loved it! The mountainous and equestrian backdrop for our wedding was so gorgeous which made for great pictures and awesome memories. Another plus, easy and free parking for your guests!We are so happy that we chose Calamigos Equestrian in Burbank to host our wedding!FYI....the food tasting was so much fun and you get to sample a wide array of the food that they offer. Yummy good time!

This is the absolute best location for a wedding!! They have beautiful gardens for ceremony and the ballrooms are perfect for reception. We had our ceremony at the little white house and our reception in the equestrian ballroom. The service calamigos provided went above and beyond all my expectations from the moment we booked our event there until we got in the limo at the end of reception. Anna is a godsend. She worked with me on every little detail and was always incrediable attentive, in fact all the staff was. The event went very smoothly. The food was unbealivable, the wedding was two weeks ago and I still have guests telling me how great the food was and that it was the best and most beautiful wedding they have ever been too. I would highly recommand calamigos at the equestrain center. They helped make our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives!!!

Seriously, from the word "go" (or even the words "think about it"), this was an amazing venue to work with. The professionalism shown by Annah Winfield and her staff (she's actually not the top lady, whom I met and whose name I can't remember--most of the correspondence was with Annah) met (and at times exceeded) my expectations. And, that's not that easy to do, especially in this situation where I wanted everything as perfect as humanly possible. After reading some reviews I asked Annah pointed questions, and she was always gracious in her reply, and made sure that all of my concerns were addressed. The indoor/setting (the greens!) was perfect for us, and the size of the Polo Room was perfect for our 110 guests and us...the food (internal catering) was superb (so many people commented on it after the wedding), and ... I just can imagine having held our reception anywhere else. And I'm so glad we didn't. Annah worked with all of my vendors to make a seamless event; my wedding day was everything I could have wanted, and Calamigos had a huge hand in that.

we are having a great experience with Calamigos Equestrian.The staff has been very accomodating and The Little White House is a great place for our ceremony and reception.

I never ever ever expected my wedding to be so perfect, and it was because of the amazing people at Calamigos. They were always so responsive, and they went way above and beyond to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. I HIGHLY recommend Calamigos for your wedding!

Calamigos was perfect for my daughter's wedding on Mother's Day; outdoors at the White House and reception in the Polo Room. The staff were very accommodating, professional, and I was very pleased with all meetings before and up to the wedding. We used vendors that were familiar with the location and some were suggested by the wedding specialist there. I think the most compliments came from guests and family regarding the food; it was delicious, from the appetizers to our buffet dinner and plenty of it....you never had to track down a server at the reception....they were always passing out food!I can't imagine using another facility that had everything we needed and my daughter and her husband were very pleased with it all.

The food was FANTASTIC! Everyone raved about it. The facility is beautiful and everything is spotless.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. The ceremony was on the Terrace of the Grand Equestrian Ballroom and our Reception was in the Grand Ballroom. I could not have asked for a better venue and vendors! They are so organized and helpful there. Annah was there to answer any and all of my questions I had at any time. When she wasn't there the other girls helped me just as much. They made everything so painless and easy...except for the dollar amount, which was pretty expensive, but it was worth EVERY penny!! They also had everything included, and I mean everything. The food, the tables and chairs, the linens, the appetizers, the alcohol. The only thing we had to bring in was the cake. The whole place is beautiful and I was so very happy with the entire process along with our wedding day. They even had a coordinator there to help us at the Rehearsal and the day of. WONDERFUL! If anybody is getting married in Los Angeles, I suggest getting married at the Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. You will not be disappointed!!

When my husband and I started researching venues to hold our wedding reception we left no leaf unturned. We live in Glendale so we were primarily looking in the Glendale, Pasadena, and Burbank area. Our guestlist was 200 and we were on a budget of $20,000 for food, drinks, and room rentals (including linens, chairs, tablecloths, placesettings, drinkware, etc). We really had a vision of being able to have an open bar, a cocktail hour with hand passed appetizers and a delicious plated meal. We had a good budget to work with so we were able to include a lot of sites in our search. We wanted a site that had an all inclusive package, a beautiful room preferably with a fireplace, a great dance floor, exquisite decor, great catering, and professional staff. Calamigos was the only place that had this all and more. The grounds of the equestrian center are goregeous and nothing was off limits for pictures. We have so many great pictures with beautiful backdrops. Every one who works with you on your wedding will be professional, responbile and they all work to make you happy. Our wedding was fantastic, everything I had dreamed. We took a moment to sneak a look at the room before guests arrived (I highly recommend this!) and we our breath was taken away. From the candles glowing in the fireplace (woodburning for those fall/winter weddings) to the sconces, three gorgeous chandeliers and twinkle lights everywhere was romance. The food was so good and arrived hot off the grill. The appetizers were unlimited and all passed. It was a truly elegant event.

For us and for all guests, the venue was stunning. The food was delicious and good presented. All services with high quality.

They did a wonderful job. The room was beautiful; the service staff were very kind and attentive; and the food was wonderful. I would highly recommend this location.

Calamigos is a wonderful place to get married. Their staff really goes out of their way to make your vision happen. I would recommend considering having your wedding on an off day, say a Friday or Sunday. You get the same wonderful location for a lot less money.

I had my wedding at Calamigos in 9/07. I couldn't possibly say enough. Everything was beautiful, the site and room. The serving staff were amazing. The food was awesome (yes, wedding food was actually awesome!). Calamigos planners Robin and Annah were so helpful and great all the way through...flexible, great attention to detail, sweet and really made me feel like they cared about creating a special experience for me. My experience with them at all steps from my first phone call to leaving the venue on our wedding day was everything I could have hoped for. I am still getting compliments about how beautiful the room was, how great the food was and how much fun everyone had. Big thanks to Calamigos!

My husband and I are very happy with the service we received at Calamigos. We truly fell in love with the venue the first time we visited. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and organized. We mostly worked with Virginia and Annah, both of whom are professional, personable, and very helpful. They were prompt in responding to my emails, and were able to answer any and all questions. We especially loved the food tasting event. Food was a HUGE factor for us, and we had heard from friends that Calamigos catering does not disappoint. We have received many compliments about the quality of food, service, and beauty of our venue. We definitely recommend Calamigos for anyone's wedding. It's a perfect place for a SoCal wedding. :)

I recently had a wedding at Calamigos Equestrian Center. They were AMAZING! I would highly reccomend the venue for anyone who is looking. They offer a variety of settings without the feel of a "wedding factory". It was beautiful, the staff was really exceptional to work and the food options were all very high in quality. We received a ton of compliments on the food! They offer packages which make planning so much easier since the venue already comes with fabulous catering, quality linens, chairs and tables, as well as a ceremony and dinner coordinator. I could not have been happier about the service I received or the outcome of the wedding. I work in event so I tend to be very detail oriented and they delievered on all accounts!

awesome service

Calamigos is a WONDERFUL venue. The staff (Virginia and Annah) were wonderful to work with. They are so attentive and so responsive to emails. Even though the venue hosts many weddings throughout the year, the staff make sure to make you feel special and a valued customer.

Calamigos has a pretty good rep already from things I have read. It was recently named one of the top places to have your wedding reception in Southern California and I would have to agree that this was the perfect setting for my special day. The food was delicious, all of the arrangements I had made in terms of my guest book, table numbers and such were all taken care of just to my liking. It was beautiful.I guess the only reason I even bother reviewing this well known and highly praised venue is because I was very very disappointed with the "wedding coordinator" assigned to me. Clearly, it must be a tricky job, but coming from a field of work where I know all the ins and outs of putting together a huge event, I tried my best to keep her well informed and basically did a lot of her job for her. Yet come the day of our rehearsal and she barely facilitated any of what was going to happen. We all left knowing little more than what we already knew before the rehersal. Still, that's not what bothered me. What bothered me most was on the day of the wedding, she failed to keep guests from coming into the place where I was getting ready, and somewhat scolded me for starting our ceremony on time (I have punctual friends what can I say) and for finishing slightly early. She told me that she was having to deal with a very upset kitchen because we were early....by 10 minutes!Even if that did throw the kitchen staff off, I don't think that it's very professional for a wedding coordinator to get mad with the BRIDE about it. I was taking photos at the time and was basically at a loss. I mean what am I supposed to say to that? Sorry, my ceremony wasn't to your liking? Furthermore, she was rude to my parents and didn't take the burden off me or my maid of honor. The rest of the night I was basically coordinating with the photographer, the head caterer and the DJ as to when we should do the next thing on the itinerary. I should have had a head set on that's how much I ended up having to "work" my own wedding. This is a person who Calamigos requires you to have and charges you an extra $350 to employ. They claim that they do this because it really is necessary in most weddings to have a specific person running the operation so that the bride, her mom, the bridesmaids, etc. can all do the things they have to do. I would agree with that logic, but I certainly didn't get what I had paid for in this case. I think it probably just really has to do with who you get, but they don't tell you who it is till the rehearsal. So, a word of advice: Calamigos at the LA Equestrian Center is a wonderful place to have your event, but ask who will be your assigned coordinator in advance. Maybe see if you can meet them. It was the difference in me giving them a glowing review and the less than perfect one you just read.

I felt that the policies at this venue were too strict. While the food tasted better than I anticipated, I wasn't quite sure this venue was worth the cost.
