Pala Mesa Resort is a great option for couples looking for a wedding venue in North County that feels like a getaway without actually leaving San Diego County.
Located just off I-15 between Fallbrook and Temecula, the resort has accommodations, ceremony and reception spaces, catering, and plenty of room to turn a wedding into an entire weekend with family and friends.
We've performed a wedding here with the full Left Coast Quintet, and it's a venue where having five acoustic musicians really worked well.
An Outdoor Wedding at Pala Mesa
The outdoor ceremony space at Pala Mesa is large and open, surrounded by trees and greenery. For the wedding we performed, our full quintet gave us enough sound to comfortably fill the space while guests arrived and throughout the ceremony.
Our couple also happened to love movie music, which made the playlist particularly fun.
We mixed film scores with pop covers and other favorites before the ceremony, giving guests something a little different to listen to while they found their seats.
That's one of our favorite things about bringing a wind quintet to a wedding. You can absolutely have beautiful classical music, but you aren't limited to it.
Live Wedding Music at Pala Mesa Resort
Our quintet features flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon, with a repertoire ranging from classical and jazz to Broadway, Disney, movie and video game soundtracks, pop, rock, and plenty more.
We can provide music as guests arrive, throughout the ceremony, and into cocktail hour afterward, changing the style of music as the celebration moves along.
Pala Mesa also makes things easy for guests who want to stay nearby instead of heading home after the reception. Once everyone arrives, the wedding, reception, accommodations, and the rest of the weekend can all happen right there. And after a drive up I-15, we're perfectly happy to unload the instruments once and stay put for a while.
Five musicians may seem like a lot until you see the size of the ceremony lawn. This is why we travel in packs.
