My wife and I had the most amazing experience with Wedgewood weddings. Every person we worked with was phenomenal our wedding coordinator Sammy was amazing, along with everybody else and their staff. DJ G-Bass could not have been any better. The floral was beautiful, the cake was delicious and people are still talking about the food. The photographers and videographer did such a great job and I’m sure we will be using them again for other events. It was everything we could’ve ever wished for. We cannot think everybody involved enough. I will highly recommend every vendor we used, and Wedgewood weddings for anybody who asks.

Ethereal Gardens

4.6

Escondido, CA
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Set on 40 acres of edible gardens, surrounded by old growth orchards and 100 acres of organic herb and vegetable farms… An “out of the box” venue that is completely private and not just another golf course, winery, banquet hall or hotel. Here we are open to creative ideas and outside vendors such as florists, photographers, photo booths, food trucks and so much more.

Wow wow wow! We truly can’t say enough amazing things about our experience getting married at Ethereal Gardens. From start to finish, my husband and I felt so taken care of. We worked with Bernadette as our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been more of a joy to work with. She was so detailed oriented and attentive, which made the planning process feel easy and fun, and she truly brought our dream wedding to life. On our wedding day there was a mixup in days with our donut vendor (so they didn’t show up) and literally within a matter of an hour Bernadette and her team found a new vendor, placed a new order, and even took the liberty to go pick up and deliver the 100 donuts.. they made sure my husband and I knew any hiccups or stresses were taken care of by them so we could just enjoy our day day. They also let us bring our dog which was an amazing perk! The venue is stunning and the Ethereal Gardens team will do everything in their power to make sure your day is a DREAM - highly recommend! Thank you so so much Bernadette & team, we’re forever grateful! :)

Victoria Ranch

5.0

Vista, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Victoria Ranch is the perfect place for a local destination wedding. From the breathtaking views overlooking the rolling hills of San Diego to the intimate and nostalgic setting of a vintage property, this is a hidden gem. We offer a completely full-service experience that includes but is not limited to event rentals, catering, florals, and entertainment. Let us turn your vision into a reality. Victoria Ranch embodies the spirit of the coastal mountains it was built upon. On a clear day, stunning views of rolling chaparral give way to the sparkling crystal blues of the Pacific Ocean. The gentle and magnificent presence of Mother Nature surrounds this home that love built.

As a wedding planner, I often come across venues and vendors that do not offer full service packages but at the Victoria Ranch, you are getting that and much more. The venue itself is so intimate and super cute, but also offers the flexibility to style it in a different way if you prefer. Also, having the option to add catering by chef, Joanne was amazing as well as her coordinating all rentals for the property too.

Sacred Mountain Julian

5.0

Julian, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor

Sacred Mountain is a romantic outdoor venue that is nestled amongst 61 acres of lush, unspoiled nature. We are located in the charming and bustling town of Julian, California, just outside of San Diego. Our unique property has 4 well-appointed residences for overnight accommodations for up to 32 guests. Sacred Mountain welcomes family reunions, elopements, photoshoots, weddings, and retreats.

Let me start off by saying, I was a girl who never cared to get married, until I found Sacred Mountain Julian. I knew immediately from their photos, I needed to book my wedding there. Right when they announced their 2023 reservations were open, I immediately booked a walk through and basically booked my fall wedding. First off, the Sunset Plateau is so amazing and breathtaking to say your vows. I specifically told my photographer that I wanted to take as many photos possible on the property. Every area offers photos ops of your liking. The team there is amazing to work with. I recommend visiting the property to see the beauty for yourself.
