A Beautiful Day Made Even More Special
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Wedgewood Weddings! From our very first venue appointment, we felt welcomed and knew we were in good hands. Although we were initially torn between Rio and The Sanctuary, we are SO glad we chose Rio. The venue was beautiful, and the entire planning process was organized and seamless, from the online portal and payment plan to the meetings and check-ins. A huge thank you to Joanne, Kali, Liz, and Davina for all their help, patience, and support throughout the process. And a very special shoutout to Tamica, who truly cared about bringing our ideas and personal touches to life. She was so kind and attentive to both us and our guests, and having her by our side made our wedding day even more special. We also appreciate Nestor for making sure everything throughout the evening, including our belongings, was taken care of. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more! We are so grateful to the entire Wedgewood team for helping make our day so beautiful and memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Wedgewood Weddings to any couple planning their special day!

Best Team Ever
We didn't have a clear vision when we started planning, just a general idea of what we wanted, but Liz and Davina made the whole process feel effortless. From our first conversation, the team at Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings proved they understood what we needed and communicated with us in a way that felt natural and comfortable. On the day of our wedding, they handled every detail without any stress, which meant our bridal party could actually enjoy the celebration instead of worrying about logistics. We felt confident letting them make decisions because they were so competent and thoughtful about every choice. The elegant setup they created for the price we paid was incredible—we felt lucky to have found such a great venue. We're grateful for Liz, Davina, and the entire team for making our day so special.

BEST DAY EVER!
From our first conversation with Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings, we knew we'd made the right choice. Their communication was quick and clear, which made planning stress-free and exciting. On our wedding day, our coordinator and the entire team—from the banquet captain to the DJ to the food staff—showed us what true dedication looks like. Every single person poured their heart into making our day special, and it was obvious they genuinely loved what they do. We walked in unsure of what to expect, but everything exceeded our wildest dreams. If we could relive that beautiful, intimate celebration all over again, we absolutely would because it felt truly magical.

Bride and Groom
From our first tour with Tamica, we knew Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings was the right choice for our wedding. She took her time showing us around, walked us through the pricing with no surprises, and followed up with a thoughtful thank you. Throughout our planning, communication was clear and professional—we stayed connected through emails and text messages whenever we had questions. On our wedding day, Kali was our coordinator and handled every detail with precision, making sure we and our guests felt taken care of from start to finish. Once Kali's shift ended, Katherine the banquet captain seamlessly took over and kept everything running smoothly. The venue itself gave us the best of both worlds with spacious indoor and outdoor spaces, plus a beautiful bridal and groom suite where we could relax before the celebration began.

Magical Wedding
From our first conversation, Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings understood exactly what we wanted for our day and never pushed us toward anything that didn't feel like us. Their team was always ready to jump in when we needed help, and there was never a moment where we felt lost or unsupported. The staff worked seamlessly together to make sure someone was available whenever we had a question or needed something, which took so much stress off our shoulders. For what you get, the pricing is fair and the space itself is stunning. Our wedding day felt like the best celebration of our lives, and we have Rio Hondo to thank for making that happen.
