Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Milagro Winery 

5.0

Ramona, CA

Whether you are hosting an intimate wedding or a grand event for two hundred guests, Milagro is the perfect outdoor venue in San Diego. Set amidst the rolling landscape of the Ramona Valley, Milagro provides an intimate and naturally beautiful outdoor setting for your wedding or private event. With exclusive and unique spaces, such as a granite Wine Cave, Old Crush House, and private stone patio, plus sweeping views of magnificent vineyards and meadows, Milagro provides a spectacular backdrop for your special event!

We got married at Milagro back in 2017 after I stumbled across their photo on Pinterest. Originally when I saw the picture of the beautiful Villa like structure I thought it couldn’t be in California and when I saw that it was and was only an hour or so from us I knew I wanted our wedding there. It gets even better, this amazing place is a winery! Double score! We schedule a walk through and wine tasting and booked the venue maybe 30 minutes after we were done. Melissa was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was so responsive and helpful that it was such a breeze when it came time to the big day! If you want to get married at a beautiful winery with delicious wine, Milagro is your venue! I can’t wait to go back and visit the tasting room soon!
