“Our wedding with Wedgewood was hands down an awesome and smooth experience! We initially booked University Club due to how beautiful the venue was when we took the tour. However, what we will always remember is how awesome the people working at the venue were. Our coordinator Brianna made everything so easy during our planning sessions, and on the day of, she took care of us and was always attentive to our needs. Followed by Sebastian and Rodrigo, our captain and DJ, respectively, who continued the party and made it such a fun night for our family and friends. We also want to shout out our officiant Pastor Stan, Coty from Olivia's Mum Floral Design, Kali and Bella, photographers from LMP and Patty’s Cakes, who all played a huge part in making our wedding come to life! We will never forget this day, so thank you again to everyone at Wedgewood for making our wedding day an incredible experience!!

“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.”

“We had our wedding at The Richland in August of this year, and it was great overall! The venue is small and charming but at the same time has plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy themselves. Michael, Katherine, and the support staff were extremely helpful and very attentive to our every need, question, and concern, promptly addressing each of the few issues that arose during our two day stay and throughout the wedding. The bridal suite was great! Plenty of mirrors, storage, and seating for everyone. The staff set out a variety of pastries, orange juice, champagne, and coffee for us - so nice! They also offer a cool looking trolley to shuttle guests back and forth from the Lemon parking structure leading up to the wedding. The boutique hotel rooms are nicely designed and comfortable. We had to reserve a standard room the night before since they had another event going on. Unfortunately, the TV in that room never connected to their WiFi network, so we just set it as artwork and used our iPad for entertainment. We reserved the Cottage for the day of the wedding, which was perfect as a "getting ready"/ hang out area for the groomsmen. The TV there worked well and had no issues. The front door stuck a bit so you had to put some extra effort into closing it all the way. The Cottage is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for everyone to relax and be comfortable. We’re looking forward to staying here again in the future!”

“My dream wedding included walking down the aisle to the man that I loved. Found the dream man, just needed the dream place. My goal was to find a place that had character in itself. The Chapel of Orange was everything that I imagined. I visited a coupled more places, but the Chapel of Orange stayed in my heart. It was the right decision. The Chapel has a magical blend of classical charm and whimsical beauty that created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Melissa was amazing throughout the planning process, and she, Cheryl, and the entire team worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the day unforgettable for us and our guests. I may not be planning another wedding, but if you’re looking for your dream venue, I highly recommend the Chapel of Orange. It truly is a place where my dream came true!”

“My husband and I got married at The Vintage Rose just three months ago in June 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have so much praise for the venue, owner Rose, our incredible coordinator Jamie, and the entire staff. Here are the highlights: 1) They take care of SO many wedding details. This was huge for me because I wanted to minimize wedding-planning stress. Our package included the ceremony and reception spaces, lounge area, open bar with signature drinks, catering, DJ, florals for the space, photobooth, table settings/decorations, donut wall, and more. We really only had to arrange an officiant, photographer, cake, donuts, and our personal florals—and they even had recommendations for all of those. It made planning so much easier! 2) They’re dog-friendly! Our pup Benji was able to be part of our ceremony, which was incredibly special to us. Dogs can’t stay for the reception, but we hired a sitter who took care of Benji before and during the ceremony and brought him home afterward. I was so grateful that he could be included in such an important part of our day. 3) The pricing is very reasonable. We felt the pricing was straightforward and appreciated how flexible they were about helping us stay within our budget. Booking on a Friday evening or Sunday morning, for example, can be more affordable than a Saturday. I really felt like Rose was on our side and wanted to help us make it work. 4) The staff are wonderful. Rose was warm and welcoming from our very first tour, and the whole staff was incredibly kind and genuinely excited for us. And Jamie, our day-of coordinator, was AMAZING. She was attentive, organized, thoughtful, and somehow always seemed to know what I needed before I even asked. She handled all the little details that made the day run seamlessly, and both our family and bridal party were so impressed with her. She was truly a treasure! 5) Our guests loved it. Our family and friends raved about how smoothly everything ran, the food, open bar, DJ, photobooth, and the overall look and feel of the venue. They also appreciated the ample parking and were surprised by how beautiful the ceremony and reception spaces were inside. Interestingly, we had already attended two weddings at The Vintage Rose before having our own there, so we knew they knew what they were doing—and they absolutely delivered! We are SO happy we chose The Vintage Rose for our wedding and would highly recommend it to other couples.”

“Our experience with Orange Hill was amazing! We only had our reception there, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. The staff were all great and helpful. I definitely recommend having your reception here! It was so beautiful and honestly, for everything you get with the packages, it’s more affordable than a lot of venues we were looking at. We had 86 guests and chose the Elegance package in the Starlight room, and it came with the room, all of the food (4 passed around appetizers, salad, bread and butter, entree), an open bar for 2 hours, a custom cake, and a patio area. I would skip out on the upgrades like changing the chairs or linens. Save yourself some money there, because it’s still beautiful without those upgrades. The food was absolutely delicious! We did the steak and chicken, and it was super yummy. I was nervous after reading a few reviews online of the food not being as good as during the tasting because it’s being mass produced, but that wasn’t the case at all! The one thing not included anywhere in the info packets is that you have no other option than to valet park, so just know that your guests will either have to pay for that, or you can pay for everyone’s valet and it’s 10 per car. We ended up paying for everyone’s valet which was another 500 so just be prepared for that if you don’t want your guests to have to worry about paying. It was an amazing day!”
