Awarded Best of Zola
Forgotten Barrel was absolutely my dream location for my wedding. It’s a beautiful location and all of our guests commented on how unique, quaint and beautiful it was. The team did an amazing job and our day of coordinator, Silvy, that was recommended to us by the venue was the bomb! Highly recommend her!! Thank you Alyssa for making everything simple and adjusting to last minute changes at the end with ease. Highly recommend this venue for any event.

Botanica by Trademark Venues 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Oceanside, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $15,950

This hidden tropical paradise surrounded by natural spring bed waterfalls and ponds enjoys refreshing coastal breezes. This venue is host to one wedding per day with an undeniable sense of privacy and tranquility.

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!

We loved our wedding at the Flower Fields! The venue comes with a day-of coordinator who is very helpful and makes sure everything goes smoothly. We had our wedding end of June, so the flower fields flowers were not in bloom, but the grounds still had a lot of other flowers and greenery that made the setting truly lovely. Plus, the barn and stage area are decorated with string lights that look great, so you really do not need to add many decorations. We are so happy we did our wedding there!
