Had an amazing 8 nights stay at Happy Hills Farm! The grounds are so gorgeous with all of the trees - kumquat, lemon, orange and avocado. The property surrounded by beautiful flowers. The hosts were the nicest people and their two young children were such a joy. We were so very comfortable in our space. Beautiful setting in the upstairs barn. The bed and bedding were luxurious- mattress and pillows. Shower was extremely nice. Even the sofa was relaxing and comfy. Nice deck on the outside to see the views of this VRBO. Kitchen was very well stocked with cookware, towel, seasonings etc. can’t say enough! will be back the next time we are in Oceanside!!

Let me just start by saying what an amazing day and venue Hawk Ranch is for a wedding. When we were looking for venues, I didn’t want anything over the top — I just wanted something beautiful, natural, and stress-free. The moment we drove through the gates of Hawk Ranch, it felt magical. Then we met Crystal… and don’t even get me started on her! She was beyond amazing from the very beginning. She walked us through the property, explained exactly how the day would flow, and truly made us feel like we were in good hands. We planned our wedding for two years, and Crystal stayed in touch the entire time — checking in, keeping us calm, and making sure every little detail was handled. She coordinated with vendors, managed head counts (which I changed about four times after the due date!), and kept everything running smoothly so we didn’t have to stress. Seeing the venue transform from a blank slate into my dream wedding was unbelievable. The ceremony site was everything I imagined and more, and the reception and cocktail areas were laid out perfectly. Once the sun went down, the twinkle lights made the night absolutely magical. The Hawk Ranch staff, catering team, security, and bar were all incredible. Even when our dogs needed water during the ceremony, someone found a way to make it work using a tray — that’s the kind of care and attention they give. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was — many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. If I could give Hawk Ranch 10 stars, I absolutely would. This place and the people behind it made our day perfect in every way.

Heritage Park and Clarke estate are two hidden gem venues I love telling future clients about along with friends and family. Working there as a preferred vendor for nearly 5 years now has been a great experience as a vendor and for my clients as well. Working together with a venue to ensure the couples day is going well without a hitch is very important and let me tell you Leanne and her staff consistently work together and hard to make sure of that. Not only are both venues historic they're also affordable. That is a perfect combination for a venue Especially when people need to accommodate large guests 200-300 guests. Highly recommend both venues I do work more at heritage Park since their guest capacity is 300 but I always look forward to working with Leanne. Always a great experience.

We truly cannot thank Canopy Grove by Wedgewood Weddings enough for all the care and support they gave us not just on our wedding day, but throughout the planning and in all the days leading up to the wedding! My husband and I were apart for 4 out of 6 months of the preparation, so the wedding planning was definitely not easy. The all-in package offered by Wedgewood was a such a big help for us as it minimized the stress of planning with all the inclusions and recommended vendors. The venue was so gorgeous and intimate, we immediately knew that this was the one for us. The whole team was also very helpful and accommodating since day one. We’re really lucky to have Canopy Grove as our venue, Wedgewood Weddings as our team, and Katey as our coordinator. They made our dream wedding possible so thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Circle Oak Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s a family that genuinely cares about its couples. The moment my now husband and I stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding, it felt like home! The magic of Circle Oak isn’t just in the breathtaking venue; it’s in the people who make it so special. The team’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were evident from day one, and it was their support that made our experience truly exceptional. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical. The attention to detail was extraordinary, and it was the little things that made the day run so smoothly. From the ceremony to the reception, every moment was executed perfectly. Our guests continue to rave about how much they loved our venue and our wedding! A special shout-out to our wedding coordinator, Kendra. Kendra guided us through every event of the day with such grace and always seemed to know exactly what we needed, even before we did! As a bride, the emotional rollercoaster was real, but Kendra kept me grounded and helped me enjoy every moment to the fullest. Her support didn’t just ensure our wedding ran smoothly; it made me, my husband, our bridal party, and our families feel truly cared for! To everyone at Circle Oak Ranch, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day a dream come true. We will forever be grateful for everything you did to turn our vision into reality. Our wedding day was perfect! Photos: Stevie Dee Photography

Tremar Ranch is a fantastic venue! We had our baby shower here and it was perfect. If you're looking for a venue that strikes the perfect balance between polished and homey, this is it. This outdoor desert oasis has everything you need to host a great event without losing that warm, backyard feel. What makes this place stand out is how thoughtfully it's laid out. There are multiple areas, each with its own charm. A large grassy area provides a blank canvas for tables, chairs, tents, etc, The pool area adds a touch of resort-style class, while the tennis courts and surrounding gazebos offer great options for entertainment or quieter corners for conversation. It's rare to find a venue that can feel both high-quality and down-to-earth, but this one nails it. It’s ideal for weddings, family reunions, milestone birthdays, or even company events where you want guests to feel both impressed and comfortable. The hosts are also incredibly warm, helpful, and excellent communicators. Couldn't recommend TreMar Ranch enough!
