“Everything was executed perfectly. Tiffany, the day of coordinator took care of everything, ensured I remained as stress free as possible and handled everything beautifully.

“My husband and I  got married at Truffle Pig Winery by Wedgewood Weddings last October, and I honestly cannot imagine a more perfect or stunning place to get married. The vineyard is absolutely breathtaking — rolling vines, gorgeous scenery in every direction, and such an elegant yet warm atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, it felt magical and serene and the minute we walked in we knew it was going to be the place to have our most special day. The venue itself is incredibly well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. Every space flowed beautifully, from the ceremony area to cocktail hour and reception. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous everything was, and the photos turned out unreal because the backdrop is just that good. What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was our coordinator Crystal. She was an absolute angel from start to finish. Crystal went above and beyond in every possible way — organized, calm, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She answered every question, anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and handled everything seamlessly so we could truly relax and enjoy our wedding day. I truly forgot about everything that still needed to be done on the wedding day jus to find as I walked down the aisle that everything was made to be perfect. Having her there made all the difference, and we felt so supported and cared for the entire time. Truly I feel like we have made a friend for life in her and we can’t thank her enough.  If you’re considering Truffle Pig Winery, I cannot recommend it enough. Between the jaw-dropping vineyard setting, the professionalism of Wedgewood Weddings, and the incredible support from Crystal, it was truly the wedding of our dreams. We will cherish our experience here forever and will forever continue to recommend it.”

“Lot 8 was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we started working with Kim and the team, their communication was attentive and they were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. On the day of, we did not have to worry about a single thing - the staff took care of everything seamlessly. The venue itself was the best value, with ample space for our 160 guests. The food from Eco Catering was delicious, and our photography team of Kristin and Mike captured all the special moments beautifully.

“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.”
