“The Secret Garden At Rancho Santa Fe was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! This venue came with the best team and I would 10000% recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless experience and beautiful wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was responsive, quick, and clear in their communication, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Kendra did our initial tour and did a great job laying everything out on the table so there wouldn’t be any surprises. We could not believe everything that was included and the value- but it truly is an all inclusive experience. Mary was great with communication and answered all of my questions (even the really silly ones). On the day of, the quality of their work was truly amazing - they executed my vision perfectly, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Tammy, Ellen, and Brian who were our incredible photo/video team, went above and beyond to make us feel at ease and ensure we had a fun, memorable experience. Last but certainly not least - Laura was our coordinator and she was absolutely EPIC. She played such a huge role throughout the process and relieved so much of my stress through multiple meetings and emails. She made sure everything was perfect the day of, kept me calm (which is not easy to do) and was an absolute gem. She is truly one of a kind and the absolute best - I could not have asked for a better coordinator. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our special day perfect (and EPIC) in every way. It truly was the dream team and a dream wedding - thank you epic events for everything!”

“We got married at the Wedgewood University Club in Irvine this past May, and I cannot recommend this venue and their staff enough! We were so lucky to have Brianna as our coordinator—she took such great care of us, and we absolutely loved working with her. She is incredibly nice, professional, and organized. Brianna was always on top of everything, supporting my husband and me and truly having our backs throughout the entire wedding process. The food was also fantastic! So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed their meals. On top of that, the entire staff was super helpful and responsive to any questions we had. If you want a smooth wedding planning process with a team that supports you every step of the way, I highly recommend them!”

The space itself was absolutely beautiful, with an outdoor reception and ceremony area that brought our rustic theme to life. Although the train tracks were nearby, it didn't disrupt our wedding at all. The outdoor lighting made the space glow, and the staff was amazing in helping everything run smoothly. The venue was exactly what we had envisioned, and the price was incredibly reasonable for such a stunning DIY space. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.”

The natural beauty of the venue lent itself to so many unforgettable moments and photos that we'll cherish forever. The Summit House team, from planning and ceremony coordination with LeeAnn, to the entire service team during cocktail hour and reception, ensured everything was seamless. They made sure we were well-informed and had everything we needed, and we loved that we were able to secure our own vendors while also using a couple from their preferred list. The gorgeous landscaping, accessible location, great food and service, and affordable pricing made Summit House the perfect choice for our special day. We couldn't recommend them more highly and would get married there all over again if we could!”
