Vellano Country Club

My husband and I were married at Vellano this past Saturday, and thanks to the incredible team at Vellano Country Club, our special day was perfect in every way. Nichole Tudor and Meghan McKeown were our contacts at Vellano and quite simply amazed us with their level of service! While searching for a venue for our event, after we met Nichole and Meghan, we knew we had found the perfect place for our wedding. Both of them are true professionals, who treated us with a level of courtesy and kindness that is truly rare in any industry. They were so genuine and caring that we feel like we made two new friends through this process. Nichole was respectful of our budget and made the entire process very easy for us. Meghan was our main point of contact and responded promptly to every inquiry with an amazing "Can Do" attitude. On the day of our wedding, Nichole and Meghan really shined, with Meghan acting as the main coordinator for the entire event. Once again, the level of professionalism and genuine caring really showed. My wedding day was 100% worry free thanks to Meghan and Nichole. Even our guests have told us how impressed they were with the level of attention we received. In addition to Nichole and Meghan's outstanding support, I want to pay my compliments to the Executive Chef at Vellano. The food was simply amazing and our guests are still raving about it! The wait staff and bartender(s) provided a level of service that is unmatched by even a 5 star restaurant. Our guests were treated with courtesy, caring and respect. Today, we are so grateful to Nichole and Meghan and the entire Vellano team for creating a lifetime of very fond memories of our wedding day. We only wish the WeddingWire would allow us to rate Vellano with 10 stars! This is THE place for your wedding...

We had our reception here since we got married at a nearby church. Nichole was our point of contact at the Vellano and Meghan was our day-of coordinator. They are both pretty responsive to emails, especially since that was our primary mode of communication since we were planning our wedding from Virginia. They were professional, easy to work with and not to mention they were flexible and attentive to our needs and requests. The venue itself is amazing and very intimate (we had the entire place to ourselves!). We got several compliments from our guests about the venue (especially the drive up to the country club) and the food. We included a candy bar in our reception and Meghan did a great job selecting candy to compliment our wedding colors. We surprised our guests with a special dance and Nichole/Meghan were able to accomodate our request to let us "rehearse" with our wedding party the day before. Thank you Vellano for making every minute of our reception...

Vellano is the most amazing place with amazing staff! It was the only place we actually went and looked at after tons of internet research. We booked on the spot. Nichole and Meghan were wedding savers! They were so helpful and accomidating. We opted for the coordinator and meghan was worth every penny! She was there to help bustle my dress, get my bridal party in order, make sure my husband had non-alcoholic drinks all night since he doesn't drink and make sure everything was running the way it should. I couldn't have asked for a better location and staff!

The venue is beyond beautiful. Nichole is incredible. There is nothing I dislike about the Vellano Country Club. I highly recommend it!!!

I was so pleased with Vellano. My wedding was definitely a dream come true! Vellano was gorgeous, the food was excellent and the staff was perfect!

Gosh, how can I describe Vellano!!! It was our dream to have a beautiful, romantic, peaceful, and gorgeous wedding with unbelievably amazing staffs....Vellano it is!!! It was our best decision ever to have a wedding here. We were hunting from 5 different venues, and when we compared apples to apples, Vellano won!!! It has the winning point that they only do 1 wedding/day, so you don't feel rush if you have a daytime wedding, and you don't need to worry about the daytime wedding if you'd have a night wedding. Nichole Tudor was always great to us since our first meeting. She always prompted to all our emails and phone calls. Vellano didn't dime us on every single item. They have wonderful packages, but also can work with your budget. The ceremony place has a beautiful view, also the reception banquet, it has a very soft and elegant color. The foods are amazing!!!!!!! Their staffs are top knotch!! Madeleine (sp?), Nichole's right hand woman, was very accommodating through out the day. She even bustled my dress when we had a few moment between our ceremony and reception. She always made sure that we were right on track! All in all, if we would do it all over again, we would definitely do it in Vellano!!!

Please keep in mind, this review is coming from the groom. No frills review. This place was top notch. Breathtaking views, beautiful landscapes and services delivered as promised. Our coordinator was Megan and she was terrific. Super friendly, down to earth yet still very professional. She took care of us every step of the way. She even made a special gluten-free kids meal for my niece. She also accommodated a ceremonial Korean dish offered during cocktail hour. The Country Club is in a gated community so you really felt special pulling up. Parking was no problem and plentiful. The space was perfect for our wedding size of about 125 people. The weather in Jan was a little cold for our guest to use the balcony so the space was a little crowded around the bar and 2nd floor foyer until the curtain was opened and the crowed moved into the dining room. The food was excellent! Guest had the choice of NY Strip, Roast chicken or Mushroom risotto. The room had great lighting and I’m happy that I convinced my wife not to purchase up lighting (waste of $$$). We ended at 10pm and could not be happier with our venue choice. Highly recommend.

Nichole Tudor is the greatest! She was very accommodating from price to decor. I didnt have a wedding coordinator but she helped me plan out my reception and answer any question I had. Her and her team were responsible for making sure the venue was set up exactly how I wanted it for our reception and the ballroom was absolutely gorgeous! The food was amazing and all our guests enjoyed what they had. My dad complained that only those at the bar really got to taste the hor d'oeuvres, but no one else I spoke to had complaints about cocktail hour. My husband really enjoyed their shrimp cocktail. For dinner, we chose the Tuscan Chicken and Braised Short Rib. At the end of the night I was tipsy and asked for a to go box of my food since I didnt get to eat much and they did without a question or even laughing at me. They also made sure I got back everything I brought to the venue. The assistants took care of me the whole night. There is also AMAZING photo ops inside and outside the venue. There is a bridge that only the bride and groom go to and it is breathtaking. I LOVE this place!

We had our wedding at Vellano on a perfect April Sunday. The weather was amazing and the outdoor ceremony was all the more beautiful. My husband and I looked at a LOT of venues prior to deciding on Vellano. Vellano was by far one of the most beautiful venues. The drive up to the club is very scenic and the ceremony site is a rare on to have in SoCal (green, hills for miles). The reception room is also very elegant. Nichole is a good coordinator and person to work with. She is on point and ensures that what needs to be done is done. The food is excellent at Vellano!! I know a lot of brides and grooms do not get to eat very much during their wedding day but I made sure to get many bites of my meal! The cake was also delicious (the venue works with Some Crust in Claremont and another bakery in the OC). The cocktail area is wonderful. It is upstairs by the reception room and guests have access to the terrace which showcases the club's wonderful view. reception room is wonderful. There is a separate bar area for guests to get their drinks and guests can also wander onto the terrace for fresh air. I have nothing but good things to say about Vellano and would recommend this venue to any bride.

In my opinion it is absolute perfect romantic location for a wedding.

I really, really loved my reception at Vellano Country Club. It’s a beautiful place to hold a wedding and/or reception and people couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was. This entire Vellano experience for my wedding was really amazing, thanks to Nicole and Meghan, who organized my all the details prior to my reception, during the reception, and kept in contact with me through it all. These ladies are easy to work with, easy to contact if I had any questions, and really made me feel that my day was the most important day to them, too. Meghan really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and I was enjoying every minute. This place isn’t the cheapest venue around, but it really floored my guests with how beautiful it was. I looked into a LOT of venues before I settled with Vellano, and they were all around the same price range, but Vellano really offers a lot more for “package” deals. We received SO much that it was really money well spent.

What can I say... I just fell in love with this beautiful venue. This was a perfect place to have my dream wedding. Their catering manager was very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend this venue!

The Pros: The Venue was beautiful and the food was great! The Cons: The service on the day of the wedding. I would not do this again at this venue without an outside planner. The assistant coordinator at the venue had a large roll in our day and left a lot to be desired. There's always going to be little mistakes or delays and we understand that, but to not serve our cake is heartbreaking. Forty five minutes after the cake cutting we realized the cake had not been served. We heard guest left because they didn't think the cake was being served. We could not find the coordinator. We had to go back to the kitchen and ask where the cake was? So about 20 people got cake and we never even saw the chocolate layer. Supposedly, they were busy cutting the whole cake up and not serving it. Bottom Line: This is a beautiful place to get married, but remember this place was not built for weddings. You will experience logistic issues and I highly recommend an outside planner.

I have only been to a few parts of Chino Hills, but after Saturday, I now see why Snoop Dogg had a pad here. This part of Chino Hills is off tha chain! The bf and I had a wedding to attend here and even just making the drive up to the beautiful, gigantic wrought iron gates of the Vellano Country Club was breathtaking! Multi million dollar homes line the streets leading up to this exclusive country club. The community is gated, and you must be a guest, resident or a member in order to enter the gates. We were seriously impressed at the enormous homes and ballerific cars parked in front of the homes. We almost forgot why we were there. This review is just for the clubhouse of the country club, where my friend's wedding reception was located. Beautiful locale, complete with elevator and marble everything. Even the bathrooms were baller status! The bartenders and service personnel were provided by Vellano, and were excellent at mixing our drinks at the very generous all-night open bar (thanks, L&K!) and serving our champagne and wine selections. My glass was never empty ! Vellano also provided (I'm sure for a charge) a shuttle to drive anyone home who had too much to drink. Wow. Amazing! I don't know if you have to be a member of the Vellano to have a wedding here, but it is certainly a luxurious venue with outstanding service.

The perfect romantic location for a wedding. Nichole Tudor and the Vellano Staff were tremendously accomodating and professional. Not only did they help the event go smoothly but they did it with a smile and a great attitude. I look forward to many more events at Vellano Country Club!
