The Secret Garden was the perfect venue for our group of 105 guests in May. It has an intimate feel, but still feels open and welcoming. The flowers were in bloom and the grass was very green. The coordination team did an amazing job accommodating all of our set-up requests and took great care of us on the day of. We are very pleased with everything and loved the preferred caterer and DJ that were part of the all-inclusive package. Overall we found this venue to be one of the more affordable options, especially given you bring in your own alcohol/drinks and can take home what’s leftover. This saved us at least 50/person. The surrounding area and city of Rancho Santa Fe are gorgeous. Parking was easy and all our guests loved the venue.

My husband and I got married on July 15th and did the ceremony at the Wedding Bowl and the reception at the Cuvier Club. Both were outstanding! We worked with Federico as a wedding coordinator and he was great. Very friendly, responded to our emails quickly, attentive to detail, and professional. Not to mention, he was very generous and lent us his cake cutting set, met with us on his Friday night to accommodate our time difference (we live in Tokyo, Japan), and checked up on us throughout the night. We loved the all-inclusive package too! It made planning the wedding very easy and all of the vendors were great. The food was outstanding too. We recommend the ahi tuna appetizer and the short rib and sesame soy glazed salmon. Our vegetarian guests were very satisfied with their meals too. The Cuvier Club is a great venue too. It’s pretty inside and has plenty of room for dancing. Plus, our guests liked having the option to go out on the patio to cool off if they needed a break from dancing. Wonderful day! Couldn’t have asked for more.

My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!
