★★★★★ — Sung, Jun 2025

We used Rio Hondo Wedgewood Weddings for our wedding in July 2023. When we first toured the venue, we knew it would be one of our top choices due to the convenient location proximity-wise for our families, the beauty of the outdoor ceremony site, which was conveniently connected to the reception ballroom, and the all…

★★★★★ — Luigi, Jul 2023

My husband and I got married here in October 2023 and it was an dream wedding thanks to the Wedgewood Rio Hondo team. Everyone was super friendly and very helpful every step of the way. They have great deals and have connections to vendors which made planning our wedding SO much easier.

★★★★★ — Lindsay, Nov 2023

My friens hosted her wedding here. It was a beautiful, small sized venue. The outside garden area was well kept, and over looked the golf course. Inside at the dining area was a nice sized dance floor with beautiful lighting and comfortable seats. Parking was easy, and the staff was cordial.

Getting married at Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings

Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
