Warning for couples considering The Colony Estate in Camarillo
I really hope any couple looking at The Colony Estate in Camarillo sees this before signing anything.
I watched the Ventura County hearing about this venue, and honestly, the whole thing is disturbing. This is the kind of information families should be told before they hand over thousands of dollars for a wedding.
This venue has a Ventura County case tied to operating as an unpermitted commercial event venue and must cease all operations.
County case information link:CV24-0856
From what was discussed at the hearing, the County upheld the violation. The first violation was given on December 2024. There was also discussion about noise complaints, neighbors being affected, and law enforcement responding to events at the property.
Neighbors on Nextdoor have also posted about protesting the venue, and there have been posts in Facebook groups warning couples to be careful as well
A wedding is one of the biggest days in a family’s life. People book venues, hire vendors, send invitations, and trust that the venue is allowed to do what it is selling. No couple should find out later that the venue they booked is un-permitted and operating illegally.

Before anyone books this venue, please ask for everything in writing. Are they currently authorized by Ventura County to host commercial weddings and events?
I am posting this to protect couples from being hurt on their special and to be extremely cautious about booking venues like this.
