My husband and I could not have imagined a better wedding experience and we are so grateful we chose to have our special day at the beautiful Secret Garden! We got married on December 14, 2024 and it was the most beautiful day we could have imagined! We booked the venue over a year in advance and throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was so available and responsive. As the day approached, we met with our day-of coordination Laura and she was truly amazing!! She helped me create the day of my dreams and was very prompt in responding to any of our concerns. She helped bring our vision to life and I am so grateful!! The very inclusive experience at The Secret Garden was also so helpful. We ended up going through our own food vendor for BBQ for dinner, but everything else was seamless and really helped ease the wedding planning stress. The photography and videography team was so amazing and captured our day so beautifully. I still cry tears of joy looking at our pictures and videos from the special day! :') The DJ services provided were also amazing and we couldn't have been happier with DJ Jason Lyons! Overall, we could not be happier with our experience at The Secret Garden. It was worth every penny to marry my best friend at such a beautiful place surrounded by everyone we love!! :)

Epic Events Group

Rancho Santa Fe, CA
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $5,000

At Epic Events Group, we are a team of wonderfully experienced event planners and coordinators that absolutely love what we do. While we manage several of our own venues, the heart of our company is utilizing our supportive packages all over San Diego County and the surrounding areas at venues that may seem less manageable or lean more on the DIY side. Any venue that allows outside coordination, we can support you at! We work with each couple individually based on your budget, style, event preferences, location radius, etc. to not only find the right venue, but support you from there all the way through the wedding day with our amazing team!

Where do I even begin!! I am SO grateful for the epic team. I was lucky enough to meet Kendra when touring the secret garden. Despite not going with that venue, my fiance and I knew we had to work with Kendra and the epic team, and it was the best choice we ever made for our wedding! First, Epic has it all, a catalog of DJ's, catering options, bar options, photography/video, florists, and a long list of other amazing vendors that covers all you could ever need or want to plan a perfect day. On top of it all they have the BEST coordination team you could ask for! When looking for a different venue, Kendra went above and beyond to provide various options and really fit exactly what we were looking for. We ultimately ended up booking the Lakehouse Resort in San Marcos, and we were able to bring the inclusive package from Epic that included photography/videography through Epic Events Studios, coordination and support through the whole proccess and day of, DJ as well as their suggested photobooth and florist as well. All of the vendors were amazing and so professional, and really helped make the day so special and fun. The epic team handled getting insurance info from vendors, coordination with them for the wedding day to ensure no hiccups and all the things in between. Laura, our coordinator was truly an angel and made the whole experience so stress free. From our first coordination meeting, it was like meeting up with an old friend. She was so excited, supportive and open to all ideas to make our day perfect and tailored to us! She worked with our venue and vendors to ensure everything was aligned, and helped us curate a perfect timelime and layout for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Through the whole process the team was responsive, and always willing to help with any questions and ideas we had. The communication and reminders/updates were so reassuring too. I truly was so at ease during the process and never had to stress. Fast forward to the day of, and Laura made sure everything went off without a hitch. From setting up all the decor (she went above and beyond!) ensuring vendors were where they needed to be, to making sure the ceremony, reception and timeline went smoothly, everything was PERFECT and there was genuinley not one hiccup (if there was I never knew about it!). I never once had to worry or check on anything the whole day, and friends and family were actually remarking about how calm and stress free I was! I owe most of that to Laura and the team, because I trusted her completley and knew she had it covered. I truly can't praise this team enough, thank you again for making it the perfect day that friends and family are still talking about! I promise you will not regret working with Epic!

Floreale Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Rancho Santa Fe, CA
  • Florist

For years, I worked in headhunting and business operations, where I specialized in helping companies find the right people and built thoughtful systems behind the scenes. Yet, I’ve always been creative and had often found myself craving a tangible form of creativity - something slower and more sensory. Floral design became an outlet, and eventually, my calling.

Working with Val was one of the highlights of my wedding. Her creativity, communication, and genuine passion for her craft are truly exceptional. I feel incredibly fortunate that she was part of our day. I didn’t come in with a fully formed vision for our florals – just a color palette and a desire for rich, varied textures. Val took that loose direction and ran with it, coming back with thoughtful mock-ups and ideas that immediately felt right. She even wove in deeply personal touches, including visiting our home the day before the wedding to trim leaves from our Monstera plant that we’ve had for nearly a decade. That level of care and intention speaks volumes. Val and her entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

If you're looking for a DJ to host around Orange County, check Dancingdjproductions (San Diego). Pick from their pool of DJs, and start from there. For us, we chose DJ Jimn and he was so nice to run through the program the week before the event, and make sure we were on the same page. On our wedding day, since we were on a time crunch, he needed to move around minimal details and everything went well! As for the party, all age groups enjoyed and danced!!! I'll recommend DJ Jimn to our friends and families! Just let the DJ know not to finish all the music and change it every 1-2 chorus. Budget-wise, you can have a host/DJ all in one.

I found Pixel Perfect Photo Booth Co at the Bridal Bazaar in San Diego & honestly it was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding. If you're looking for a wedding photo booth company in San Diego, hire Pixel Perfect! What really drew me to them over other companies was their pricing, the image quality of their photos, & the fact that they included both physical prints & digital files AND put together a physical album on the spot during our reception. I got to go home the night of my wedding with a finished album in-hand! My husband and I loved sitting down and going through it together the next day. That alone made it so worth it. They offer a good variety of service tiers so there really is something for every budget. The package I chose was called "The Chic Package with The Tuxedo Booth". All of my communication with them was done through email & I was really impressed with how quickly they responded every single time. After the wedding they also sent over the digital files fast which my guests & I appreciated greatly! I've already recommended Pixel Perfect Photo Booth Co to so many of my friends who are planning their weddings & i'd 100% hire them again in a heartbeat!

On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and immediately began getting B-roll of the venue. He did work with my groomsmen and I as well as my wife and her bridesmaids.

It's not often that you come across a wedding photographer who can capture the essence of the day as perfectly as Irina did for us. The creativity and fun that she brought to the wedding were palpable, making her a hit with everyone who attended. It's clear that Irina has a natural talent for photography, which was evidenced by her ability to capture every detail of the wedding flawlessly. From the table settings to the rings to the families, Irina was able to capture every moment with a level of skill and expertise that is truly spectacular. It's not easy to capture the joy and love that are present at a wedding, but Irina did it effortlessly, resulting in a set of photographs that truly capture the essence of our special day. Beyond her obvious talent as a photographer, Irina also proved to be a trustworthy professional who was dedicated to ensuring that her clients were happy with the final result. It's clear that she takes great pride in her work, and her commitment to providing her clients with the best possible experience is evident in everything that she does. Overall, if you're in search of a wedding photographer who is both talented and dedicated to her craft, Irina is definitely the one to choose.

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

I had such a great experience working with this team. Heather and Courtney brought a happy, thoughtful, and professional energy to every part of the process, and really helped bring the wedding together in a way that felt personal and seamless. Heather handled the florals, and she completely understood the feel I was going for — even when I only had a few reference photos and loose ideas. I sent her pictures of the Marin hills in bloom, and she created something beautiful and unique with that inspiration. The floral arch was stunning, and her idea to run wildflower-inspired arrangements down the center of the tables made it feel like guests were sitting in a field of flowers. She brought the florals to my parents house the next day for our brunch and we were thrilled that we could continue to enjoy the beauty she created. Courtney managed coordination and was incredibly organized and responsive throughout. She kept track of all the moving parts, made helpful suggestions for how to use the venue, and offered so much of her time — from emails to zoom calls and venue walk throughs. I’m so impressed that we were able to leave her with a truck load of decorations some loose instructions and arrived to the venue to find it was set up perfectly. She is filled with positive energy and you will always feel her love and support throughout the process!

We got married a couple months ago and recently got our highlight video. After my husband and I watched it for the first time together, we looked at each other almost in awe and then he said, "wanna watch it again?!" After we watched it a second time, we watched our ceremony video, then the video of the speeches (both great too)... then we watched the highlight video a THIRD time! Amari has a couple forms to fill out before the event, so I wrote up notes about music, voice overs, cinematography, etc. Their team truly read everything I wrote, took that into account in their editing, and delivered BEYOND what I could have imagined. We are so, so, so, so happy with it. It was AMAZING. It captured so much of us and our day, and we were filled with love and wonder watching it. We also had such a great experience with the team on our wedding day. They were very kind and enjoyable to be around, which is so important. We appreciate all your work, Amari Productions-- we LOVE IT!

Lily is an actual god among men!! The wedding wouldn't have happened without her. She was amazing throughout the entire process and stayed planning with me throughout her pregnancy. Lily is detail oriented, hard working, thoughtful, and inspiring. She understands the ins and outs of this industry so well and can manage any issue on the fly. When she found out she'd be 8 months pregnant on my wedding day, she provided a superhero lineup of a team. We had a fantastic day of coordinator (Krista) and the best ever coordinating assistant, Ellie, who literally sewed my dress 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle, changed me into my reception outfit, and gave me a carrot out of her own lunch box (you really don't eat on your wedding day). The wedding went so smoothly and it wouldn't have gone that way without the help of Lily and her team. She even showed up just to say hi to me on the day! Thank you Lily and Slay Events for giving us the best day ever. We'll hire you for the vow renewal in ten years ;)

We are so glad we chose Sound Prodigy for our wedding DJ! DJ Pat was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He uses an app that was easy to use and helped us curate our music preferences during our ceremony and into the reception. The app allows you to create a timeline of events and add specific songs so that everything goes smoothly throughout the event. We got so many compliments during the reception on the song choices. DJ Pat really knows how to choose the best song order to keep the party going, and vibes were high throughout the evening! We also highly recommend the lighting option he provides, this really added to the ambience for the reception. We would highly recommend him to DJ any event. Thank you DJ Pat for making our wedding a night to remember!

From the moment we booked The Thursday Club as our wedding venue, it was stress free. Chris, the venue manager, was a pleasure to work with. Their communication was always prompt and effective, and they were incredibly accommodating to all of our needs. The fact that tables and chairs were already included in the rental fee was a huge bonus and saved us a lot of time and money. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Our wedding coordinator, Courtney from Breezy Day Weddings, was amazing and worked seamlessly with all of our vendors. I would highly recommend The Thursday Club to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding day.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

3STYLEDJS was the perfect DJ for our wedding! From the start, they were flexible with communication and accommodated our last minute requests and changes. On the day of, they were polite, professional, and brought an incredible amount of energy to the dance floor. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ service to make our special day unforgettable.

Carolyn was a god send for us in so many ways. We recently had a very DIY wedding with 120 guests, so as you can imagine there was a TON of work involved. Carolyn was with us every step of the way, from booking vendors, negotiating contracts, to-do lists, timeline and floorplans, you name it. But where she really shined is once we were there with her on the property. We had a million little details to think about and Carolyn was on top of it all. Many times before I even had to ask. She gave us the capability to actually relax and enjoy ourselves in the days leading up to the wedding, which we expected we would have had to be working the whole time. We were blown away by her hustle and work ethic, and even more-so, how she maintained a super positive attitude throughout it all. She was a delight to work with and helped us throw the wedding of our dreams. The same goes for her assistant! Amazing! There's so much more I can say, but just know, she is a true pro through and through and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her.

We are so thankful we booked Angela as our wedding coordinator! Even though she was just our "day of" coordinator, she started helping us 6 months before with the timeline and details. She is extremely organized and prompt in her responses. We appreciated being able to meet with her in person, rather than a zoom call. Angela was recommended by our venue Tom Ham's. She provided valuable insight and suggestions that helped our wedding day run smoothly. Also, she came prepared on the wedding day with balloons and lollipops to keep the kids happy, and the adults were thankful! We cannot recommend her enough, she is a pro!
