My wife and I got married at The Vistonian in July and we LOVED the venue! Through all the ups and downs of the covid restrictions the venue was super easy to work with and Alyssa maintained constant communication with us throughout. The venue was so perfect and turned out so beautiful. My wife and I still talk about just how amazed we were with how everything looked. The bridal suite was perfect for the bride and all the bridesmaids to get ready in so that was an awesome perk of the venue. All of our guests loved the beer and wine selections and there were a ton of great spots for photos in the venue and a ton of great spots around the outside of the venue as well. Overall it was an absolutely perfect day at a perfect venue. Thank you again Alyssa and the rest of the staff at The Vistonian!

Green Gables

5.0

San Marcos, CA
  • Up to 425 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor

Earthy, light, airy and feathery- In the shade of a lush, landmark forest, this historic garden estate is surrounded by ivy-covered arbors, blooming rose gardens, trickling fountains, picturesque statuary, and thousands of bright twinkling lights. A grand bridal parlor and vintage gentlemen’s speakeasy, outfitted with timeless, charming accents and furnishings, provide the perfect scenery for your preparations before reciting your vows in one of our three breathtaking ceremony spaces.

I am not going to lie, there were a few times we were very nervous about booking with Trademark Venues at Green Gable. Our coordinator changed very early in the process, and we weren’t informed why. We did the food tasting and we were so disappointed with everything we tried. We then spoke to someone higher up who helped us customize our menu without getting extra costs. Day of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. Gina was a god send, paying attention to every detail. She handled everything and made sure the day was stress free for us. So many guests told us how delicious the food was, so we were thrilled as that was what we were most nervous about. And I can confirm that the cupcakes were sooooo good! Seriously could not be happier. Gina was amazing and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking Green Gables!!

The best part for us was that this was an all inclusive venue so minimal family involvement for the planning process which made it a lot easier and stress free on us.

I would get married here every day! We don't live too far away so we love driving by and reminiscing about the best day of our lives. They were very communicative and super easy to plan with. Considering this is in La Jolla, the price was also very affordable and they had a great list of vendors that they recommend. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day and very happy with the venue. We had the ceremony in the garden area, cocktail hour outside on the patio, and the reception indoors. It was early April so we were happy to have both options inside or outside, with last minute changes if necessary, as we weren't sure if it was going to be raining.

If you are looking for the BEST venue and catering company for your wedding, this is the place. From the moment we toured The Cuvier Club, we knew that this was different than the rest. Our venue manager Anders Cueva was the most personal, warm and thoughtful person from the start of our process to the very end. She guided us through any question or uncertainty that we had about our wedding, allowing us to build the perfect wedding we envisioned. The wedding coordinator provided to us by the company was Federico Tomas, a person who excels at being the absolute best at this job.

On our wedding day, he was an amazing source of support that was never too far away, making sure we were having the best time. On top of these two incredible workers, was our event captain David and his amazing team of servers during our wedding night. All of our guests raved about the beyond friendly servers and how smooth their process of getting food and drinks to everyone was. There was not a single hiccup or delay during the event. With all this wonderful service, the food served was out of this world. Our chefs Kyle & Kody serve nothing but the best food, and ensured that even our guests with dietary restrictions were taken care of. The Cuvier Club by Wedgewood Weddings gave us the most perfect wedding.

The event staff at Shadowridge Golf Club went above and beyond to help me put my wedding day vision together. I had to postpone twice due to COVID and they were supportive every step of the way. They are professional, experts in this field and compassionate, which is exactly what I needed for the biggest day of my life. Everything from the ceremony site to the reception hall to the food & drinks and their vendor list is all top notch. I have received nothing but compliments from all who attended which is more than I could ask for. Weddings are hard but Codie Anderson, the Event Director, made it so easy.

The Prado at Balboa Park is a National Historic Landmark which was originally built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. This two year festival was held in Balboa Park to promote San Diego and to celebrate the 1914 opening of the Panama Canal.

We had our wedding anniversary at the Prado and it was the dream celebration I wished I'd had for our wedding! FIrst off, the options we were offered for food choices was over the top. Everyone was so accomodating helping us with things. The day of, I felt like a Queen! I never lifted a finger- the staff always made sure I had a drink in my hand, and each time I got up from my chair, I came back to a seat with fresh a fresh napkin. The wait staff is so professional- they are there but not in your face. Everything we needed or wanted was handled for us. We have an event company, so have many contacts in the industry, and we chose to have our big party at the Prado because we knew we would be taken care of. We were not let down!
