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.

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.

Valerie was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding flowers at the Rosewood Miramar in Montecito. From the very beginning, she understood my vision and elevated it in a way that felt effortless, thoughtful, and so “us.” It was perfectly elevated and original, with a timeless twist! She truly went above and beyond. She was responsive, creative, and handled every little detail with so much care. On the wedding day, everything was even more stunning than I imagined: the arrangements were lush, and every stem was perfectly placed! She made me feel taken care of, she problem-solved in real time, and she genuinely wanted our day to be perfect ...which it was!! She’s wildly talented, professional, and the kind of vendor who makes the entire experience better. Truly one of the biggest blessings of our entire day!!! 10/10. We’re so grateful.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

Shade and Strand was a dream to work with on every level. They were incredibly, almost instantaneously responsive to questions and requests (thank you Heather!). The hair and makeup team (Kelly and Victoria) were not only extremely talented and made us all look incredible but made the experience just so wonderful. I chose to bring my mother to the trial with me and they were so kind and fun, really listened to what we were envisioning and made it a once in a lifetime, lasting memory for the both of us. They were on time the day of, took care of all of our bridesmaids, including our young flower girl and every single one of them absolutely loved their look.

If each step we take marks a chapter of our adventure, then our floral designs serve as a vibrant reflection of the diverse and lively community we are proud to be a part of.

Awarded Best of Zola
We held our wedding at the Junipero Serra Museum in October 2025 and began working with Claudia at Kolibri Flower Lab in January. From the very first email to the final moments of our wedding day, Claudia and her team were nothing short of exceptional. We initially learned about Kolibri through our venue, and when we reached out, Claudia responded quickly and scheduled a call to learn more about our vision. She brought so many ideas, thoughtful suggestions, and insightful questions that helped her understand not just what I thought I wanted, but also what I could want, including options I hadn’t even considered. She was also always so fast to respond (even while out of office and traveling internationally). In my initial planning, I was unsure of what I wanted for the table settings because it was the one piece of my wedding that I was having trouble visualizing but wanted to be perfect. Claudia helped with this and made this so easy by continuing to share photos and ideas. She also created the most beautiful flower recipe for the event and every flower at the event was in perfect condition. On the day of the event, everything was perfect. Her team was there early and assembled the most beautiful arch and welcome sign. We had so many guests comment on our florals and the decor her team worked on. It was truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I cannot recommend Claudia and Kolibri enough - for weddings or florals in general!

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!

There are also great shots of things we didn't remember, like us canoodling in the venue's background. We felt like Katherine was part of our wedding party, not just a vendor. She was great at directing us for group photos, ensuring everyone was in the right spot without feeling rushed. She is funny and a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our images.

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.

Lily went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was what we wanted and more. She was very attentive to our wants from the beginning and her expertise shined through her ability to hash out finer details that ensured the day would run smoothly. Our reception was seamless due to her coordinated preparation and planning. We were able to fully enjoy ourselves, our guests and our vendors without feeling worried. Lily and her assistant, Wen, gracefully blended into the background throughout the night. We can't imagine going through the wedding planning process with anyone else because we truly felt like Lily was more than just our wedding coordinator - she was our mentor, cheerleader, and biggest advocate. We can't thank her enough for the support she gave us during our wedding process because she made it so much fun and that's such an important part of the process. Anyone would be so lucky to have Lily as their wedding coordinator, she will take the best care of you like it was her own special day.

Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat was awesome to work. The app he had us use to add music to so he could get a feel for what we like was very easy to use. He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. Their intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and they kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that. Our guests had a great time taking pictures and you get both physical and digital copies and we had so much fun looking through everyone’s photos after the wedding. Highly recommend!

The Thursday Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. The beautiful ocean views, charming garden, lovely ceremony space, and great reception area made it feel so special. Since it feels more like a house than a traditional venue, it created a warm and intimate atmosphere that my husband and I loved. Chris, the venue manager, was kind, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the process. The venue also hosts open houses a couple of times a year, giving couples the chance to meet a variety of wedding vendors. Choosing The Thursday Club was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we highly recommend it!

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.

Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was truly a godsend. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and always available whenever I had questions or doubts. I’m not naturally a “wedding person,” yet we had a large wedding, and at times the planning process felt overwhelming. She made everything feel doable and manageable, especially during moments when I was second-guessing myself. Her calm presence and reassurance made such a difference. She brings so much experience and is so well connected in San Diego, which made coordination seamless. Most importantly, she brought my vision for our big day to life with very little for me to worry about. I was able to actually enjoy the process — and the day itself — because I trusted her completely. I highly, highly recommend her to any bride who wants a smooth, beautifully executed wedding with a coordinator who truly cares.
