Union Brick By Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was quick, detailed, open and honest, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a great value for the large and versatile space. Amanda, our event pre-wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of - she answered every question, email and call, and was always there for my husband, myself and my mom. On the day of the wedding, Kayla, our day-of coordinator, was detailed, thorough and wonderful, making sure everything ran smoothly. Our banquet staff and bartenders were also attentive and made sure we and our guests were taken care of all night long. We are so grateful to the Union Brick team for making our special day truly perfect.

Our big day could not have gone better, and we owe so much of that to the incredible team at Crystal Springs! From the very beginning, Cameron was instrumental in helping us secure an amazing deal and a comprehensive package that offered incredible value. Nikki provided expert guidance during our initial planning meeting, and Lindsay was a total rockstar, she was with us every step of the way, from the early planning stages to being our seamless Day-of Coordinator. We also want to give a special shout-out to Megan, who was in training on our wedding day but handled everything with such grace and care that you’d never have known she was still learning the ropes! The entire team ensured that every detail of our vision made sense and offered constant reassurance whenever we had questions or "wedding jitters" during the process. One of the biggest highlights was their quick thinking when our family arrived at the venue earlier than expected; they jumped in immediately with a creative solution to make sure the bride wasn't seen before our first-look photos! We also truly appreciated their flexibility, as they allowed us to bring in boba as a secondary sweet treat without any additional charges. Our guests loved it, and it was such a meaningful personal touch to have included. We are so grateful to the Crystal Springs team for making our wedding day so joyful and stress-free!

We are so, so happy with our decision to hold our wedding reception at the Log Cabin at the Presidio. I would recommend the Log Cabin and Wedgewood Weddings to anyone looking for an all-in-one package, easy breezy planning, awesome event planners/coordinators, and a flawlessly executed day. The Log Cabin itself is beautiful, the food was amazing, the drinks were flowing, the flowers were beautiful, and the location in the Presidio is perfect. They have a fabulous team to help you plan and execute the wedding of your dreams! The team (Duckie, Jimmy, and Libby - huge shoutout!) all were awesome to work with through the planning process. Super communicative, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive through the whole thing. They helped us plan the most perfect day and made it so easy on us. Jimmy was our day-of coordinator and deserves extra praise for pivoting gracefully and adjusting the evening’s timeline flawlessly when our shuttles unfortunately were super late to arrive with our guests. The rest of the day-of team were all amazing, too. DJ Abel blew our socks off - we didn’t want typical wedding music, and he totally nailed the playlist and the vibe we were hoping for. I even had a touching moment with the security guard who pulled me aside and said he got emotional during the father/daughter dance, which was such a lovely thing for him to share. Wedgewood as an organization seems to have a very organized, structured approach to wedding planning, which I so appreciated. They were great partners and helped us have the most perfect day on one of the biggest days of our lives!

The search for our perfect wedding venue ended at the beautiful and historic Oviatt penthouse. The moment my husband and I walked in, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Every single detail of this building is so intricate and breathtaking. Something that is so amazing about the Oviatt, is that the venue hardly needs any decorations. There is plenty of beauty everywhere you look. Gabe, Lindsey, and the rest of the team made us feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were there to answer any and all of our questions via email and phone call if needed. They were flexible with us when we wanted to schedule walk-throughs with multiple vendors of ours. They made us feel welcome and made the entire planning process seamless. We highly recommend the Oviatt to anyone searching for their dream wedding venue.

Such an amazing experience working with Wedgewood weddings. I love that they have many different venue options to fit every couple's price point and that it is an all inclusive option. The only things not included were the dress/tux (obviously) and any photography or videography. We however ended up spending a bit more on flowers as we didn't realize that the bouquet and flowers for the bridal party were not included (only table centerpieces) but compared to other florists in the area, their vendor still had the best prices. The process of the planning was pretty seamless. Whenever I had a question or needed help, I was able to reach out to the venue and get the answers or help needed. The day of my wedding was absolutely perfect. Not a single thing went wrong and I couldn't be more grateful for my two wedding coordinators that day (the evening coordinator had a different title but can't remember what it was) but they were both so helpful, kind and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and/or experience!

I could not recommend Wedgewood Carlsbad Windmill more highly. For half of what we would be paying at any other venue, I feel that we received top-notch service, aesthetics that matched who we are as a couple, thoughtful coordination, and worry-free execution. Our coordinator, Brianna, went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. We loved our DJ, Noah (with DJ Maestro), who was coordinated through the venue. It was a seamless experience that I genuinely feel saved us a ton of money and gave us MORE value than a traditional venue.

Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect.

My husband and I were engaged in October 2023 and began looking at wedding venues the month after. We then finalized our booking with Redwood Canyon in January 2024 to give ourselves ample time for planning and financing for our big day on May 26th, 2025. Since we live on the East Coast and majority of our families reside in the Bay Area, we wanted to find a venue that could provide an all-inclusive package and bring our vision to reality - and Redwood Canyon checked all of those boxes... even going above and beyond. We are very happy with the entire process that led up to our special day and the outcome of our wedding. *1 year prior to the wedding* They kept us updated with some of the renovations they were making at the time. When we wanted to do a physical tour in June 2024, they fitted us into the schedule and showed us the actual colors of table cloths, napkins, lighting, etc. *8 months prior to the wedding* The wedding team sent us an invitation to the Fall Wedding Extravaganza Fair for late October 2024. We unfortunately couldn't make it, but they accommodated us by including our friend couple residing in the Bay Area to take over our place. Our friend couple FaceTimed us during the entire event to make us feel like we were there! They commented how it was nice to try out all the food options they had in the package to know what foods the couple would like to finalize for their wedding day. They also enjoyed the fun activities the DJ curated - there were two opportunities to win a prize from those activities. *5 months prior to the wedding* This was a two-hour call with the wedding team to go over our vision and details. I forgot the name of the person assisting us, but she was very patient and fun to talk with! She reassured us that if there were changes we'd like to make over the next few months, they'd be happy to accommodate. A few months later, vendors contacted us to further discuss additional details - officiant, cake, DJ, and florist. *1 week prior to the wedding* We had Jacoby as our amazing wedding coordinator and Ana to assist on our special day. They reviewed and confirmed details as well as what to expect on our Rehearsal Day, which was a day prior to our wedding. We loved their positive attitudes and professionalism throughout the process! *Wedding Day* Despite how fast and chaotic it felt, we truly appreciate Jacoby and Ana for keeping us on the right pace, consistently checking in with us, and making sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the day. If there was something I, my husband, our wedding party, and family needed, they were quick to provide it. They also knew where to put our decor and took some behind-the-scenes photos to share with us after our wedding. We had our photographer, Hayden from A Perfect Impression, who suggested all the right poses, shots, angles, and places to take our photos. Our DJ, Saul, was very accommodating with a song request and some changes that we communicated through email and text - the vibe of the ceremony and reception was perfect. The food was fantastic, the photobooth provided high-quality images that we could receive through a texted link. *Overall* If we could rate it more than 5 stars, we totally would! We are truly happy that we chose Redwood Canyon for our wedding - an amazing and friendly team with a beautiful venue that accommodated 80 of our guests!

We truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. We were able to stay at Shadows for the long weekend - which allowed us to set up and DIY most our wedding. Our family and closest friends got to stay with us on the property for the weekend, which made it feel so much more special - and made us feel like we had so much time to take our wedding weekend in with everyone (rather that just one day). The venue was so spacious, which made the event feel large and free - rather than everyone being on top of each other. We used the following spaces for each part of our wedding: - Backyard grass and overlook - Ceremony - Front yard grass - Dinner & Speaches - Barn - Desserts, Snacks, Seating / Lounge Area, Guest Book - Barn Deck - Dancefloor & DJ We worked with Scena as our day-of coordinator and she was THE BEST! Helped so much with timeline, setup, coordination, rehersal, clean up - EVERYTHING! Truly could not say enough good things about her.

We could not be more happy with Forgotten Barrel! Alyssa was wonderful and the vendors included in their all inclusive package (catering, dj, & dessert) were great to work with. The space itself is so pretty and has excellent amenities like both getting ready spaces, plenty of parking, and nice bathrooms. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The Retreat By Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly easy to communicate with and replied to all of our questions thoroughly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning outdoor area that overlooks the rolling hills of Corona. They also have a great indoor space that was perfect for our reception when the weather turned chilly. On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredibly accommodating - when it got unexpectedly cold, they immediately brought in two space heaters to keep us warm at the sweetheart table. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to the Wedgewood Weddings team for helping make our special day perfect.

Everyone is still talking about how amazing our wedding was. As the couple, we were always put first and asked throughout the day if we needed anything, which is super nice when you are busy with your guests. Our coordinator was Bre and she was so sweet and made sure that everyone (bridal party) knew what they were doing. Our DJ Kyon, was also so sweet and amazing about checking in with us on timing throughout the reception, and getting everyone on the dance floor. We really felt like we were put first. I can not recommend this place enough!! It is a beautiful venue. Everything is in one area so there are no long walks, or driving for guests. My grandfather was in a wheelchair and had an easy time getting around. I loved that I was able to text the venue at anytime so if I felt like something was amiss, it was easily handled and I would get the answers I needed, as well as the venue taking notes on requests I made.

My husband and I  got married at Truffle Pig Winery by Wedgewood Weddings last October, and I honestly cannot imagine a more perfect or stunning place to get married. The vineyard is absolutely breathtaking — rolling vines, gorgeous scenery in every direction, and such an elegant yet warm atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, it felt magical and serene and the minute we walked in we knew it was going to be the place to have our most special day. The venue itself is incredibly well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. Every space flowed beautifully, from the ceremony area to cocktail hour and reception. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous everything was, and the photos turned out unreal because the backdrop is just that good. What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was our coordinator Crystal. She was an absolute angel from start to finish. Crystal went above and beyond in every possible way — organized, calm, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She answered every question, anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and handled everything seamlessly so we could truly relax and enjoy our wedding day. I truly forgot about everything that still needed to be done on the wedding day jus to find as I walked down the aisle that everything was made to be perfect. Having her there made all the difference, and we felt so supported and cared for the entire time. Truly I feel like we have made a friend for life in her and we can’t thank her enough.  If you’re considering Truffle Pig Winery, I cannot recommend it enough. Between the jaw-dropping vineyard setting, the professionalism of Wedgewood Weddings, and the incredible support from Crystal, it was truly the wedding of our dreams. We will cherish our experience here forever and will forever continue to recommend it.

The University Club by Wedgewood Weddings made planning our wedding from out of state incredibly smooth. Their team responded quickly to every question. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about organizing or corralling people because everything was already set up and running like clockwork. The venue itself is beautiful and clean, and we were impressed by how reasonable and all inclusive their pricing was. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish, and we'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a convenient and reliable venue.

Everyone at Live Oak made it easy for us to achieve the wedding setup we envisioned. From showing us photos of the space with others' decor, to sending us links with suggestions, coming to the venue to help us plan at times that worked for us, working with us to create a checklist and timeline, and showing up early/ staying late to clean up, we felt that the people at Live Oak really wanted to help us achieve the wedding that worked for us. On the day of the wedding, it was nice to have the Cottage as a room to prep and primp, and I was able to see the arriving guests while staying unseen. We also stored flowers in the kitchen fridge, which helped keep them fresh. Overall, we were consulted as to our wishes prior to the event, then during the actual wedding, things that needed to be done "behind the scenes" were taken care of, which left us able to focus on our guests and each other.

Bella Vista Estate Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Rima and Robert, their communication was amazing - they were always prompt to respond and so helpful in guiding us through the planning process. We didn’t know where to start with vendors and Rima was so helpful in suggesting vendors for bartending and everything else that we worked with on the wedding day. She is so organized and takes care of every detail - she took all of the stress out of the planning and her calm energy and professionalism was so greatly appreciated in planning this day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with an elegant Italian villa feel that is both timeless and classic. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and Rima and Robert were so caring and attentive that we didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. The end result was a dream wedding that exceeded all of our expectations. When we walked in on our wedding day I almost cried because it was more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. It was truly everything and more to be able to celebrate such a special day in such a beautiful place.

We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

We were so grateful to find an affordable venue in DTLA that had an exterior space for a ceremony interior space for wedding event. The bonus was that the space came with rustic farm tables, chairs, basic lighting & string lights, bar, and pipe and drape. After looking for months - nowhere else in the city offered the value and the wow-factor that Seventh Place did. The staff was attentive, detailed, and thoughtful. Highly recommend to attended one of their open houses, or see if you can take a tour while an event is being setup, that way you can see the space in use. The staff provided sample floor plans for researching how best to use the layout effectively. Things to consider: no kitchen, but if your caterer can prep/heat elsewhere, a buffet style or cooked outside on mobile kitchen worked perfectly. The greenery/ivy is breathtaking on camera - but beware, certain times of year the ivy drips/rains droplets of sticky sap. Not an issue but be mindful of dresses/suits standing beneath it. Parking was easy, load in/out was very easy as well. The space was turn-key, with everything setup as requested when we arrived.

I knew I wanted something a little more rustic but still elegant and that is exactly what the Ranch offers. There’s a stunning outdoor ceremony site with a beautiful stone walkway for the aisle, a wooden stage and arch. Then there’s a beautiful indoor air conditioned barn with the most beautiful grand entrance doors for the reception. Not to mention MULTIPLE beautiful airbnbs, and trailer/RV Spots to stay at over night. This was a “pro” we were not going to find anywhere else and really what held our interest in the Ranch since a lot of my family would be traveling from Los Angeles. We ended up booking 3/5 of the airbnbs and 5 RV spots for our wedding weekend. As for the staff at CRC, I could not be happier with the way our entire day turned out and truly it was all thanks to Tracey and staff. From the very beginning, Tracey has been nothing but professional, honest, and very understanding of what we wanted our special day to look like. Tracey and her staff continued to check in throughout our wedding planning process to see if we needed anything and to recommend vendors to make the day that much more special. Tracey was truly a phenomenal wedding coordinator. We started our ceremony a bit late due to other uncontrollable circumstances but Tracey made sure to do what was necessary to get us back on track. Everything turned out so beautifully and amazing. Our guests had such a great time and loved being able to explore the ranch and look at the horses during cocktail hour. We had so much positive feedback from our wedding party and our guests on how this was just a beautiful wedding and would be a weekend to remember. A huge thank you to Tracey, her staff, the owner Bob, and all the other vendors that made our wedding day quite literally the best day of our lives. We will definitely be back to the ranch to visit, maybe spend a weekend, and say hello to the staff. I highly recommend working with Tracey and booking CRC Ranch as your wedding venue if you want a beautiful rustic wedding!
