TEMECULA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / Wedgewood Weddings & Events, the nation's leading provider of all-inclusive wedding venues and services, today announced it is celebrating 40 years of business in 2026. Founded on August 6, 1986, Wedgewood Weddings has spent four decades changing the way couples plan their weddings, helping them save time and money while removing the stress that so often comes with the wedding industry.
At its heart, the philosophy is simple: the company handles the details, so couples are free to focus on each other, their complete wedding experience, and the moment they've been waiting for.
Over the past 40 years, Wedgewood Weddings has grown to include more than 90 venues across the country, from historic mansions and botanic gardens to mountain retreats and beachfront properties. The company has earned more than 10,000 five-star reviews and numerous industry awards along the way, building a reputation as a trusted partner for couples who want a wedding that feels personal and polished, without the hassle.
"My wife, Linda, and I built this business in 1986, straight out of the hotel and hospitality world I'd spent my career in," said John Zaruka, founder of Wedgewood Weddings. "I'd run countless banquets and events, and I'd watched the wedding process get more complicated and more stressful than it ever needed to be. We started Wedgewood to do it differently, to bring real hospitality to weddings and take the hard parts off people's plates. Forty years later, that's still exactly what drives us."
"For 40 years, our mission has stayed the same: save couples time and money, and take the stress out of a process that's known for piling it on," said Bill Zaruka, CEO of Wedgewood Weddings. "It's a promise we've been keeping since 1986. We handle the logistics and the guesswork, so couples can focus on what actually matters: the day itself and the people in it."
Planning an average wedding takes more than 1,000 hours. Wedgewood Weddings gives that time back to couples, saving them an estimated 880 hours through a combination of expert planning teams, distinctive venues, and customizable all-inclusive packages - Build Your Own, Classic, Premier, and Elite - designed to fit every couple's style and budget.
The 40th anniversary marks both a celebration of the brand's four-decade legacy and a renewed commitment to its founding promise: clear pricing, expert support, and one-of-a-kind venues that let couples enjoy their own wedding, start to finish.
