“Fallbrook did an amazing job and made our special day something we will never! We had to change venues with only 2 months before the wedding and the Wedgewood team and the Fallbrooks team in particular did everything in their power to make the transition seamless! Fallbrook was responsive to everything we needed, while always keeping to the schedule and being efficient. The venue was gorgeous with beautiful sights, which made for the best photos and video we could ask for. Overall, we would rate our Wedgewood experience and in particular Fallbrook Estates a 10 out of 10!”

“We had such an amazing time and are so happy that wedgewood was a part of our special day. It was everything we envisioned and more! Petr went above and beyond for us, from coordinating with my family members, our musicians, to fixing my dress and veil prior to walking down the isle, Brynn was there every step of the way from opening the doors during the ceremony , gathering all the items lost and found and coordinating with the burrito vendors for late night bites. (: Our bartender!!!- I forgot his name but there was NEVER a line at the bar!! Shots were always ready and not once did he bat an eye! We love you guys so much. 100% would do it again!! Literally the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. We are so glad we chose headquarters- I was stressed, but after the rehearsal - I felt so grounded and ready to marry the love of my life. We really appreciate all your help. Thanks again!! 10/10!!! Tbh, the other Wedgewood venues have NOTHING on the headquarters!! When we got to visit the presidio venue- we loved the location, but not the venue. - at that moment we knew we chose the right venue. Headquarters is the best location, most convenient for guests with limited mobility and that’s #1 reason we chose headquarters. - my grandma who is 92, grandpa Bennie 90 and cousin Don-Don who is wheelchair bound with down syndrome were all comfortable and safe. I was also amazed by how the outside cocktail area transformed from when we initially toured the venue, we spend a lot of time in nature, some days I was regretting we didn’t have a nature based outdoor wedding (we also didn’t want to worry about the possibility of the weather afffecting our guest experience- it was raining when we toured headquarters), but I was pleased to be able to get fresh air and still have the same vibe outside. Trying to think if there could have been anything that could have done differently..maybe clearing the bridal suite after cocktail hour of the food/drinks?! I was a bit nauseated from the smell of the tuna that was left out, but as soon as we asked the staff - it was cleared and bussed right away. The lobo lighting was so underwhelming, but that was the band and not you guys (they did the right thing and focused on the music vs centering the light - as they should- they killed ittt) Of course everything can’t be perfect, but it was imperfectly perfect!!! Ohhh also we would have liked to know about the jail cells and exhibit so we could let our guests know to check it out! But we saw it in our own walking around! Two days after the wedding! Soo cool!! Thank you thank you thank you! Love always, Mr. & Mrs. E”

“I don't even know what to say because I'm so overwhelmed with how perfect everything went on our wedding day. I get more and more obsessed the more I look back at photos! We were at their Villa de Fiore venue and I can't speak of it highly enough - the bridal suite is HUGE and so comfortable, and the groom's suite (though smaller) is also stunning. Being able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception back to back in the same spot was so convenient, not to mention the stunning location. Everyone we worked with at Monserate was so amazing, professional and helpful. Hali took over as our main contact a few months before our wedding and she was an absolute gem, so friendly and incredibly helpful. She was also onsite day-of for anything we needed and helped the whole day run smoothly (even made sure I got my espresso martini before the ceremony after the bartenders told my maid of honor they couldn't serve us yet). She also gifted us a bottle of champagne with a sweet hand-written card afterwards and offered to buy us lunch any time we returned to their winery. Though this might be standard practice for their coordinators, it still meant a lot to us as a couple!”

“From the moment we started planning, the coordinators at Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings were responsive and genuinely caring about making our day special. They know the venue inside and out, which meant they could anticipate issues before they happened and solve them on the spot. The setting itself is gorgeous and private, with a romantic atmosphere that made everything feel intimate. Having vendors already lined up through Wedgewood if you want to use them took so much stress out of the planning process and let us actually enjoy getting ready for the wedding instead of constantly hunting for new people. The coordinators handled all the details with such professionalism and attention, and it showed on our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend Galway Downs to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares.”
