Celebrating my 50th birthday at Headquarters by Wedgewood Weddings was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived until the very last guest departed, every detail was executed with such grace, professionalism, and genuine care. It wasn’t just a party—it was an unforgettable experience that my family and friends will be talking about for years to come. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking! The ambiance is sophisticated yet warm, creating the perfect setting for an elegant celebration. Located in the heart of downtown San Diego, it’s incredibly convenient and just steps away from everything, making it the ideal destination for both local guests and those traveling into town.

Every aspect of the event felt effortless because the team had thought of everything. The true stars of the evening, however, were the extraordinary people who brought it all to life. My deepest gratitude goes to Emma, Nat, Jasmine, Jahn, Kendra, Perfecto and Sam. Each of you played such an important role in making my milestone celebration feel so special. Your warmth, attention to every detail, genuine hospitality, and commitment to excellence made us feel completely cared for from beginning to end. You anticipated every need before we even had to ask and made every guest feel welcomed and celebrated. That level of service is rare, and I will never forget it.

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!

Gosh we love them. They were life changing! Our initial tour with Corina was so phenomenal and she sold us immediately. All of our planning meetings throughout the process were well organized and prepared and we always felt heard and supported. Our day of coordinator, Robert, was absolutely incredible!! He was so calm and cool before the ceremony and then helped us amp it up to an insanely fun celebration afterwards. Can’t say enough good about him. Even our friends and family were saying amazing things about him throughout the night and the days to follow. DJ maestro (the included DJ package) assigned us the best DJ ever (DJ Gerald) and he created such a fun atmosphere for the dance floor. He also crushed it with balancing MC’ing and nailing all the cues. Esteban was our late night banquet captain and he was so amazing, really attentive and kind. Moments in Bloom KILLED IT and gave us the florals of our dreams as well. Overall, we genuinely cannot even express how happy we were with our wedding day and night and the entire process leading up to it and that is all thanks to Wedgewood.

We got married here on April 25, 2026 and the entire planning experience was straightforward, easy and stress free. We worked with Sammy in the initial stages, Tabitha as our coordinator and Kelly as our banquet captain and they all worked tirelessly to give us the most perfect wedding ceremony and reception. We used all their recommended vendors - Flit Flowers, Elegance on Display (dessert), Photos by LMP, DJ Maestro - and they all communicated directly with the Wedgewood team and the day was flawless. Our guests commented on how much fun they had at the wedding and they even enjoyed all the food! We would highly recommend this place if you do not want to be stressed about your wedding day :)

Botanica by Trademark Venues 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Oceanside, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive

  • Starts at $15,950

Set within a hidden tropical oasis in Oceanside, California, Botanica is a romantic garden wedding venue surrounded by natural spring-fed waterfalls, tranquil ponds, lush greenery, and refreshing coastal breezes. Designed for couples seeking an outdoor wedding venue in North San Diego County, Botanica offers a celebration experience that feels private, peaceful, and beautifully immersed in nature. Couples can begin the day tucked away in the serene Bougainvillea Cottage or the indoor-outdoor Cabana before choosing from three distinctive ceremony settings, including The Cove, The Tree, and the Tropical Forest. Guests then gather in the Heart of the Garden, where shaded forest, billowing drapery, blooming florals, historic trees, and trickling fountains create an intimate alfresco reception setting filled with movement, texture, and romance.

Our wedding at Botanica by Trademark Venues was truly everything we could have hoped for and more. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, transparent, and so positive. Our planner, Mikaela, was absolutely amazing! She was so understanding, supportive, easy to work with, and always responsive. She answered every question we had and made the entire planning process feel stress-free. On the wedding day, she helped everything run so smoothly not just for me and my husband, but also for our family who were helping throughout the day. We even requested for aisle decor to be placed at the sweetheart table afterwards and the team did exactly that! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and honestly speaks for itself. We had a large guest count of around 200 people, and everyone kept raving about how beautiful it was. What we loved most was how it felt both spacious and intimate at the same time, which made the entire celebration feel so special. The food was also delicious! We chose the family-style dinner, and it was such a great decision! Everyone loved sharing the meal together, and the portions were generous. We also added the late-night taco bar and ice cream, and both were a huge hit with our guests! We brought our own alcohol, and it was such a nice touch that they provided all the glassware and ice for us. Every single thing we requested was done exactly how we envisioned, and there were truly no mishaps. Everything stayed on schedule, and the entire day flowed seamlessly. We have Mikaela and the whole Botanica team to thank for making our wedding day so unforgettable. We can’t recommend Mikaela and the team at Botanica enough!

The setting is absolutely breathtaking, and seeing everything come together with our family and friends there was honestly a dream come true.

On the wedding day, she handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes so we could truly be present and enjoy every moment without worry. Everything flowed so smoothly, and we felt genuinely taken care of. It meant so much to us to be able to relax and just focus on celebrating with the people we love most.

We got married at Cape Rey Carlsbad in May 2026 and it was the best decision we made. From the very first visit in April 2025, we couldn't stop thinking about how gorgeous the venue was. Not only was it extremely spacious to host 140 guests, the Ocean view is spectacular plus it was very close to our ceremony site. Just steps away from the beach, it was a no brainer for us to take our newlywed photos there. Each part of our reception had a unique space. Our cocktail hour was hosted on the grassy patio, dinner was out on the terrace to enjoy the sunset, and dancing was inside the ballroom. We even had space to set up more fun activities and bars for our guests in the foyer between the ballroom and the terrace! There was plenty of space for our guests to roam around. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful beach setting and the food! Not only is the food portions generous in size but it is so delicious. The head chef knows what he is doing. We had quite a few of out of town guests and most stayed on property. It was convenient and everyone felt well accommodated. Having the room block there was a great choice. Our suite was comfortable and we felt welcomed! What really made the day unforgettable was the team. 4 months before the wedding, there was a change in Sales Manager. We had a good relationship with the previous Sales Manager and were nervous. Cape Rey managed the transition well and the new Sales Manager, Mikayla Leversen, hit the ground running She went above and beyond, making sure everything ran smoothly. From the planning process to the last dance, the staff was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. We loved everything about Cape Rey and can't wait to come back for our anniversaries!

The Vistonian was a lovely venue! We loved all of the greenery and natural light inside the venue. It was spacious and allowed for plenty of room for our guests. The bridal suite was also spacious with lots of mirrors and outlets. We used the venue for both ceremony and reception. It was an easy transition going from one to the next. We worked with Shelly, the venue coordinator, and she was fabulous! Great communication from when we toured, booked, and up to our big day. The value for what we got was amazing as well! We did their all inclusive package and were happy with the price for all that we got: tables & chairs, bridal suite, catering, open bar, and DJ. Honestly, so great if you're on a budget or have a bigger budget and want to spend more on something like decor or florals. Highly recommend!!

  • Up to 250 guests

  • Starts at $3,000

The Rancho Buena Vista Adobe was originally a wedding gift from the first property owner Felipe Subria. Subria’s daughter, Maria de la Garcia, married an American soldier, William B. Dunn, who was a private in General Kearny’s army. Subria gifted the property to William and Maria for $1 in exchange for a promise to care for him and for the ranch. The Rancho Buena Vista Adobe's enchanting lure began over one hundred and sixty years ago. Few would have known that many years later, Subria's gift to his beloved daughter and son-in-law would become the grand wedding venue it is today!

Awarded Best of Zola
Picking a wedding venue is now easy task and I'm so grateful to have found and chosen Shadowridge. Codie & Morgan were my coordinators, and they helped me so much with the process of planning, choosing the details, timeline, and day of coordination. Codie was absolute perfection, she is so sweet and kind, she handled the day of coordination amazingly, she was there for me whenever I needed her, and she knew exactly what to do even when I had no idea! The reception hall was GORGEOUS, I loved how everything was set up, she did everything and more to help ease the stress of my wedding day! I couldn't have done this without her, Codie, I'll forever be grateful for all of your help and pure kindness. The food service was also great, we received many compliments on the cocktail hour foods and dinner service! All of the staff there were incredibly kind and nice, the bartenders, staff, chefs, bus boys, everyone was amazing. Our DJ Arnie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, he is recommended by Codie and works frequently with Shadowridge and I'm so thankful we booked him. I definitely recommend having your wedding here, they did an exceptional job and Codie was perfection. Thank you!!!
