Everything about working with Calamigos was professional and pleasant. From the moment we emailed, all the way through the time we drove away, Calamigos was fantastic. Our first meeting was on New Year's Day, and not only did we fall in love with the natural beauty of the land, but we also were so happy with Virginia. It was encouraging to meet someone so sincere and understanding. We really appreciated how she listened so closely to what we wanted, and she ended up saving the day with her vendor referrals. The day of our wedding, everything was perfect, and the dinner was exceptional! Our guests are still raving about the Polo Room and how DELICIOUS the food tasted. Steven the supervisor and his staff were unbelievable. We were all treated like royalty, and they executed everything with grace and ease. We honestly could not have asked for more. Calamigos is an incredible venue with wonderful people. We are more than happy that we celebrated our special day with them.

So happy with our wedding at Calamigos. From the very start they were professional and helpful. We worked mainly with Virginia, and she was a pleasure to work with. Very prompt responses to any questions, and went out of her way to make it an amazing day/night for us. The venue was beautiful (Little White House/Polo Room) and looked spectacular the day of. We got a lot of compliments for the venue choice, and the food was also outstanding. Love that they let us do a tasting prior to the event, and they even made that a fun party for the couples getting married there within the upcoming months. Highly recommend!

Calamigos Equestrian was a little out of our Budget BUT ALL worth every penny!!! Fortunately, we were able to get a discount because we had a Weekday (Tuesday) Wedding , which helped tremendously considering we wanted to stick to our Wedding Budget. We were able to have the "complete package" with Calamigos Equestrian.....our Beautiful Ceremony & Breath-taking Reception was all on the same property, our delicious food was catered through Calamigos, as well as our Cake, which was contracted through the exceptional Portos Bakery. From the beginning when we booked, until the Day of our Wedding- ALL STAFF were on the same page. Truly making our wedding planning process as simple and organized as can be. Very prompt if we had questions/or concerns and easy going. Even when we would call unannounced, and wanted to stop by and show the property off to family. :) They did not mind and always had an open welcome when we arrived. A gorgeous site to have BOTH your ceremony and reception. We were married outside at the "Little White House" and had our reception in the "Grand Prix Room".....with all our decor in place it was a very stunning and dazzling place. The day was truly magical. The Day of the Wedding, everything was GREAT! The staff who hosted the food (we chose Buffet), offered wine to guests, and bartender all were very friendly and respectful to our guests. Fernando was a gem the day of the wedding. Fernando took initiative and made sure our day ran smoothly and looked out for our best interests-making our special day a breeze. We would highly recommend Calamigos Equestrian to anyone looking for a unique and memorable Wedding Experience. :)Mr. & Mrs. Vergara

We used Calamigos for our reception only because we had our wedding ceremony at a church. We had a really lovely experience with Calamigos. From beginning to end everyone was personable, smart, very responsive and very, very organized. We loved having Deirdre to answer our questions and help us get all the information so we could make our decision about choosing Calamigos. We were very appreciative of Virginia and all she did to keep everything organized and wonderful. She really, really worked hard for us! In fact, on the day of the wedding she helped make sure my mother's homemade flower arrangements and little trees with white lights got placed when my mother couldn't make it to the reception to set up before the ceremony! Mina was also really responsive and amazing. She's in charge and you could tell she just wanted us to have the perfect wedding experience! The space was absolutely gorgeous, the food was just delicious, the alcohol choices and quality for the price was awesome and we loved having Porto's for our cake baker! In one space we had everything we wanted with a much better price than most - and believe me, we looked long and hard before picking a place that would be venue, food, alcohol and cake baker all in one!

We had been looking all over for locations. Racking our brains trying to find some place that fit us and also was comfortable with a gay wedding. From the beginning we could not have felt more at ease. The planning, the payment plan, the food tasting and just being able to take care of things for us so we didn't have to worry was perfect for us. They have a couple different size rooms to accommodate different size groups. They can do do a package including food, wedding cake from Portos Bakery which is AWESOME, bar and most importantly for us, they work with you and not against you. Our guest count changed up and down a few times and they didn't flinch. Just said okay and went with it. They were also a big help in finding reputable vendors for options we had not been able to find on our own.

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.

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.

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.

This place is awesome! Wonderful, pleasant, and professional service. We had Virginia help us from the beginning and she's the best of all the places we made contact with when we were first looking for our wedding location. She was readily available, she gave us several ideas, was always ready to answer our questions, and was more than willing to do anything for us to help create the wedding of our dreams. We had our wedding at the equestrian terrace and ballroom and the place was amazing! The food was the best! Only Calamigos offered a food tasting event for their clients and that was great! All our guests said our wedding location was beautiful. The only complaint we heard after was about the bartender not seeming to be in a very welcoming mood. But then again we don't get to pick the bartender and we didn't get the chance to get our own drinks at the bar since we were served the whole night. Other than that everything else was the best! What we received was well worth what we paid for! :)
