“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!”

“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.

“Wedgewood was like a dream come true for us! We had been searching for almost a year for venues, and we finally found the orchard. The venue location was beautiful, small and intimate for our wedding. From day one, the team at the Orchard really helped us make our dream come true. They were incredibly flexible with us, gave us ideas even we hadn't thought of, and with the premier package we selected, it removed so much additional stress we would have had to worry about. The day of our wedding, we had some delays on our part but our day-of coordinator Anissa really pulled through for us, and beautiful day went without a hitch. Our guests loved the environment, and they STILL talk about how delicious the food was (It's currently my biggest brag). 100% over and over, I would HIGHLY recommend a Wedgewood venue to anyone looking to get married without so much added stress, big or small. Thank you Wedgewood!”
