Weddings  

Dear Teresa and the Angels Landing family and staff,

I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding weekend amazing and enjoyable for everyone. We felt we couldn’t have picked a better venue, but it was you and the staff that really made things run smoothly.

Though I was obviously occupied immediately before the ceremony, I could tell you were behind the scenes, working hard to oil the gears. I really appreciated your presence at our rehearsal session on Saturday, too; when details were getting confusing, you were there to jump in and make suggestions for how to simplify things. I wished I could surround myself with 100 Teresa’s – your calm, caring demeanor and wealth of wedding experience were just what we needed.

I certainly can’t leave out the food! We were so impressed; we loved the whole dinner spread. Of course I didn’t get to personally experience the appetizers, but I know they were fabulous. Normally I might’ve been apprehensive about not having had a food tasting beforehand, but after talking with Danny and reading the menu descriptions, I knew you guys understood great fare, and was confident. …And you definitely did not disappoint! Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly, fresh and appealing. We got lots of compliments on dinner, which I know doesn’t happen at many weddings. I so appreciated that you made extra quantities, too – because you always have surprise guests or extra-hungry people at the last minute. I even saw people going back for seconds.

I was gratified to see that our guests loved the venue, too, and didn’t seem to mind having traveled from all over once they were there.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful weekend to remember. We look forward to coming back to visit – maybe for an anniversary getaway. 

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Angels Landing to anyone looking for a gorgeous and unique outdoor location.

Thank you!

Diana Lovejoy and Greg Mulvihill

I wanted to thank you all for everything; the wedding was perfect and
everybody at Angels Landing did a great job during our entire stay.
We heard so many positive comments from our family and friends ("how
did you guys find this place? this is awesome!") and we ourselves were
ecstatic that everything came off even better than we'd imagined. And
I can't say enough about the meals -- the food was incredible every
day, as was everyone on your staff.

We're looking forward to a return trip; even before the reception was
over people were saying we should throw a reunion at Angels Landing
for our anniversary. We both think it's a great idea.

Talk to you soon, and thank you so much for everything.

Aloha,
Adam & Shanna

Teresa,
I just wanted to drop a little note to say thank you for making our wedding perfect! After canceling two large weddings in MA due to illness, the small intimate wedding at Angel's Landing was absolutely incredible (it was a day I wasn't sure would ever come). We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better location. All the vendors you referred were a pleasure to work with and I was pleased with everything. It's amazing what you can do over the phone and computer! The pictures were stunning and the scenery breathtaking. This day meant more to me than you will ever know and I am truly blessed everything worked out so well.
Thank you so much!
-- Bernadette


Dear Teresa,
We do not know how to thank you enough for our absolutely wonderful wedding. All of our guests have told us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. Every trip up there was rewarding and everyone agrees that it was worth the drive from Orange County. I couldn't have found a better place, the peace and beauty of Angels Landing will be with us forever.

In addition to all of the natural beauty your resort offers, you have the best staff I have ever seen, I have never received better service in my life. Before the wedding, they set up all of our tables beautifully, and during the reception, they catered to our every need. Their solicitous service made me feel very special, the hole experience was incredible, I could not have asked for a better wedding day.

In addition, you and your staff managed every detail, allowing me to relax and enjoy my wedding day with no hassles, no worries, and no work! Words cannot describe how perfect my wedding day was. It was better than I ever imagined or even dared to hope for. I do not know what I would have done without the caring and support both of you gave me on my wedding day. You smoothed out every wrinkle and worked hard to insure that everyone was happy.

Your suggestions regarding the photographer, DJ and baker were also very much appreciated. We also utilized all of your suggested vendors and they each performed wonderfully. Finally, the food was incredible. The lasagna at the rehearsal dinner and the food at the reception dinner were both superb. Everyone is still talking about how delicious their dinner was.

Our whole experience at Angels Landing is like a dream come true. Our pictures and photos cannot begin to demonstrate the beauty of the day. My memories are full of peace of the wind in the trees, the clear mountain sun through the shifting shade, the blooming flowers everywhere, and the simple joy of our wedding. If I had to describe the day and my experience working with you, your family and my staff, I would say, "Perfect!" Thank you again and we will be back.
Best wishes,
-- Jackie and Jason Martin

Dear Teresa,
I've only described Bobby and Tami's wedding as perfect to everyone. You were a very important instrument in bringing it all together, and Randy and I can't thank you enough for everything.

Sincerely,
-- Gale and Randy

Dear Teresa and Family,
Thanks so much for all your help in the planning and coordinating of our wedding. Everyone involved had a great time, we couldn't ask for more of a perfect wedding. You certainly exceeded our expectations. To say thank you seems like such an understatement of our gratitude and appreciation for your efforts and talents. All the wonderful heartfelt memories of our special day are made vivid by the personal and creative touch your family gave to us. The location was not only perfect for us, but also very beautiful. We were happy to have met your family and share our day with you. We will recommend you to anyone that we hear of who wants to have a beautiful and intimate ceremony place.
Thank you all for joining us in our love,

Good Morning, Teresa!
  First, I want to thank you for putting on such a wonderful 2-day stay   for my family and Holly's family.  Everything went so well, and I attribute a lot of that to the patience and easy-going of yourself and your husband.  I know we were always running late, but it didn’t rattle either of you (visibly, anyway!), so everyone else managed to stay calm too.  Especially me, who usually gets uptight when anyone or anything is late!  Yvonne and I really appreciated your driving us to the hairdresser too!  It was over and above the call of duty, so we really do thank you!

I must compliment you and your son on the wonderful food you served.   I'm so glad we stuck with you for catering, as I don't think your food could have been improved upon in any way.  I'm amazed your son is so active in the cooking - he definitely will be noted for that talent some day in the future.

  Thanks again for everything - you have a great place there and was so perfect for our son's wedding!
--Kathy Steenson

Teresa,

Eve and Chris Sullivan

Dear Teresa, Family and Staff,
  Chris and I wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful environment for our wedding.  It was a day we will never forget!  Everyone worked so hard to make everything perfect, right from the start.  We were very impressed how quickly everyone worked.  We will definitely be back and would recommend Angels Landing to our friends.  Thanks again for everything!

-Mr. and Mrs. Tritt

Guests

Angel’s Landing Country Inn & Resort

In a word: stunning. The Angel’s Landing ranch includes 53 rolling, tree-studded acres, with a sprawling view which, on clear days, includes a bright shimmer of ocean. In warm months, weddings are hosted nearly every weekend.

We booked the angel-themed Celestial Suite. From our deck, we could watch blue jays darting through the treetops. Though the bathrooms and bedding were spotlessly clean, Angel’s Landing’s rustic cabins aren’t for the luxury traveler. In fact, the whole of Julian isn’t for the luxury traveler. It’s for the hiker, the horse-lover, the wholesome biker with a gingham handkerchief in the pocket of his leather jacket—and because of Angel’s Landing, the family.

The expansive property also boasts a farm sanctuary, home to a gaggle of goats, horses, chickens, ducks, an elderly, pointy-eared pig named Spock, and an affable donkey named Eeyore. The owners provide guests with an unlimited supply of carrots for wooing the animals.

*****************************************************

 

My heart found its home where the angels land.
I woke at the hour of six. The day was beginning with a glorious display of sun and shadow before breakfast was a thought. Sweet birds came to chirp and visit the courtyard garden. Flitting and feeding at the many choices of cheery stations, they ate then drank from waters that were sparkling- clear wet bubbled and flowed from fountains and pond. A turkey warbled in the meadow. A donkey brayed in answer. While coffee brewed the sun continued to rise. Oh, how I wanted time to stand still right then! There was such serenity and peacefulness in the quiet awakening of a country place.
The green hill in the cool distance displayed such a sight. Rolling and deepest color, it allowed the shine from the sun to hover and speak to the new day.
Surely the angels are here! I thought. They certainly have come here to sleep and gather. Somewhere I hear wings folding and finishing just for a rest. I hear the whispers of cherubic lips. They tell each other to have a pleasant nap. They settle in the boughs of pine and oak, in meadows of sweet, shaded grasses, in cool earth pockets in gardens near water sounds, tucked under the fragrances of hydrangeas and roses. In the silent stirring of nature, angels have come for a spell. Allow them. Welcome them. Tiptoe so as not to disturb the blessing of their visit here. And when all are rested they will certainly leave Éwith this landing to return to another shadowy morning. ~~Wendy
