Although our wedding hasn’t happened yet, we couldn’t wait to share how thrilled we’ve been with our experience so far with The Headquarters! From the very beginning, the team has been phenomenal, Taylor and Janae’s professionalism and communication has made the entire process smooth and stress-free thus far. A special shoutout to Taylor, who played a huge role in helping us feel confident about booking a venue still under renovation. Her years of experience with Wedgewood and new venue openings reassured us that their blueprints and mock-ups are always spot-on with the final product—and it’s easy to see that this space is going to be stunning. We were specifically looking for a venue that felt unique and special, something fresh that none of our friends or family had used before. Choosing The Headquarters was a leap of faith, but the team’s attention to detail and their ability to keep us in the loop has us beyond excited for our big day. If you’re considering booking a new venue, don’t hesitate—Taylor, Janae, and the team at The Headquarters will make the process seamless. We can’t wait to see it all come together and celebrate in this beautiful space!

The team at the California Center For The Arts, Escondido was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent - they always responded to my emails quickly and thoroughly answered any questions I had. They allowed me to set up my own decorations the day before, which was the best thing ever! If you don't have a wedding planner, they do offer a wedding coordinator which is a lot more affordable and super helpful the day of the wedding. The event space itself was perfect for our wedding, accommodating our 189 guests (rented 3 halls). The venue has 5 halls, so depending on your guest count, you can have a super large wedding or small. On the day of, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and all of our guests raved about the delicious food and beautiful reception setup. They have so many locations to take really nice pictures which allowed us to not travel to a different location to take pictures. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding day. Thank you, Meghan (event coordinator), for making our wedding day be amazing and stress free!

Our wedding was a dream and there is nothing we would have done differently. The venue, decor, and atmosphere provided by the Wedgewood team felt perfect and personal. We are especially thankful to our coordinator Katey, who made us feel welcome and taken care of. She truly went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have imagined a better person to be our coordinator. Our banquet captain, Christina, was lovely and it meant a lot that she constantly came to check on us throughout the night and made sure we had everything we needed. We also want to thank Andrea, our DJ, who helped us modify our timeline on the fly when we were running a bit late and was right on point with our music. One of the most special moments was our private dance at the very end of the night. Andrea played our song and then both she and the Wedgewood staff turned away and let us have the moment completely to ourselves. It was a moment I will never forget and I'm so thankful that we stumbled across Canopy Grove and decided to tour the venue (in fact, it was the only wedding venue we toured because we knew right away). We are eternally grateful and Canopy Grove will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you!
