“Where do I even begin? Wedgewood Weddings at the Fallbrook Estate far exceeded all our expectations! Our planners, Angela and Lauren, were absolutely amazing. They stayed on top of every request and were quick to answer all our questions throughout the entire planning and execution process. They made everything run so smoothly, both leading up to the big day and on the day itself, which helped take a huge weight off our shoulders. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire staff for putting together the most perfect wedding day. Everything was a dream come true from the ceremony to the DJ, food, and decorations. I truly couldn’t recommend a more beautiful venue or a more dedicated team to help celebrate such a special moment! -Alexis & Roman”

“If you're a couple in the market for an intimate, beautiful, well run, wedding venue look no further than booking Forgotten Barrel. Being a mini rustic oasis tucked in a quiet residential track, off the beaten path, this venue (and its wine selection) will surprise you in the best way! We just had our wedding 4/24/26 and from beginning to end we had the best experience. We had explored the details of around 50 venues for our 80 guest wedding and FB offered the absolute best atmosphere and overall inclusive package to follow our budget. Being you do have the option to a la carte the venue, I highly reccomend their inclusive package. Including catering options from Chef Joanne, Donut Hello dessert cart, month of coordination, a variety of optional decor to utilize, DJ Frank, bridal and groom suites and of course an unlimited wine/beer/seltzer/non alcoholic bev bar. The venue coordinator Alyssa, event coordinator Libby, DJ Frank, Paolo from donut hello, and the rest of the FB staff were just 5 stars in making our day a success. Our guests even 2 weeks later have not stopped raving of having the best time. They loved the food, the music, and the overall vibe of the venue. Some said the best wedding they've been to. So again, if youre looking to host your wedding or any event 100 guests or under please consider Forgotten Barrel. You will be happy you did!”

They accommodated us and we had the ceremony outside on their property since there were no permits available for the grass area nearby. Suzy and Riley were incredible with their communication, planning and help throughout the process and we were blown away with the setup the day of the wedding...they far exceeded our expectations!

“The Crossings is a beautiful venue and the inclusive packages made wedding planning pretty easy and stress-free. We had the most incredible wedding day, and we owe so much of that to our fantastic day-of coordinator, Lauren. From the very beginning, she was so sweet and made us feel completely at ease.

She was on top of every single detail, making sure everything ran smoothly and perfectly on time. Because of her, we were able to just relax and be present on our special day without a single worry.

“We did not use The Knott to find this venue but we had such an amazing experience we had to share. The venue itself, the first thing you see is a modern foodhall / full bar with a large variety of restaurants. If youre staying at the hotel connected, it was such a great place to hangout with your bridal parties before everything starts. Moving along to the even areas, the ceremony room gives off a modern barn yard style venue and it's such a pleasant contrast from what you initially see when first walking in which really adds to the "wow" factor when entering the room. The cocktail hour area is amazing as well and after we gifted some of our items, they will now have Cornhole and a beer cart available! The area itself is wide open with great seating areas as well. The reception is another instance where the contrast is such a difference from the food hall downstairs, it once again adds so much to that jsw drop reaction. We were approached multiple times complementing how "cool" this venue was and it was definitely a true compliment. Now the venue wouldn't be anywhere with out the staff and I can not say enough great things about them. The entire time was courteous, professional and really give they sense that they want to make sure you have your special day as one to remember. Specifically wanted to shout out our amazing coordinator - Brianna, banquet captain - Lee j and Dj - Rhy's. These three went above and beyond for us and it seemed like that was just their normal demeanor. Brianna made sure we had nothing to worry about and made every part of the planning process a breeze. Lee J was also always checking in appropriately often to ensure we were never left wanting, thirsty or hungry. Rhy's was also great to work with, we had a very specific request with music which ended up having my wife and I take part in a lightsaber fight to two different versions of starwars music - Duel of the Fates, and he handled it masterfully. All in all, 10/10 can not recommend enough.”

“We got married at Cape Rey Carlsbad in May 2026 and it was the best decision we made. From the very first visit in April 2025, we couldn't stop thinking about how gorgeous the venue was. Not only was it extremely spacious to host 140 guests, the Ocean view is spectacular plus it was very close to our ceremony site. Just steps away from the beach, it was a no brainer for us to take our newlywed photos there. Each part of our reception had a unique space. Our cocktail hour was hosted on the grassy patio, dinner was out on the terrace to enjoy the sunset, and dancing was inside the ballroom. We even had space to set up more fun activities and bars for our guests in the foyer between the ballroom and the terrace! There was plenty of space for our guests to roam around. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful beach setting and the food! Not only is the food portions generous in size but it is so delicious. The head chef knows what he is doing. We had quite a few of out of town guests and most stayed on property. It was convenient and everyone felt well accommodated. Having the room block there was a great choice. Our suite was comfortable and we felt welcomed! What really made the day unforgettable was the team. 4 months before the wedding, there was a change in Sales Manager. We had a good relationship with the previous Sales Manager and were nervous. Cape Rey managed the transition well and the new Sales Manager, Mikayla Leversen, hit the ground running She went above and beyond, making sure everything ran smoothly. From the planning process to the last dance, the staff was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. We loved everything about Cape Rey and can't wait to come back for our anniversaries!”
