“I really wanted to get married in a garden with Greenery around. This place was the perfect place. We only have the ceremony there and the pictures were exactly what I wanted. Only 2 things I wasn't happy with was that they didn't arrange the chairs the way we had asked (I sent pictures and they said they would). And our other issue was that since we got married on a Sunday morning, there was also a basketball game going on that we had no idea about, so parking was somewhat hard to find. It didn't ruin our day, but could've been perfect.”

“We got married in August 2026 and we honestly could not have chosen a more beautiful place for our wedding. From the very beginning to the end of our special day, everything was absolutely amazing! A special thank you to Crystal, the venue manager and our day-of coordinator, who was truly phenomenal! She is professional, talented, organized, and incredibly accommodating. She listened to our requests and went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of — and we absolutely did! Having someone like Crystal taking care of everything made such a huge difference and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. One of the things we loved most about Hawk Ranch is their all-inclusive wedding package. When you book the venue, you have an incredible team of vendors included, such as the florist, bartenders, officiant, cake, DJ, catering, and photo booth. You only need to arrange your photographer and videographer, and they even provide a list of preferred vendors to choose from. It made the entire planning process so much easier and less stressful. I dreamt of a wedding that was romantic, outdoor, feminine, and classy, and the team at Hawk Ranch brought that vision to life perfectly. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the venue is especially magical at night when all the fairy lights come on. It created the most romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. Our guests could not stop talking about the wedding! We received so many compliments on the food, décor, venue outdoors, and all of the vendors working on our wedding. David Cutler, our officiant, was brilliant. So many of our guests has comments like, “This was the best wedding I have ever been to!” and “How did you find this place?!!!” We all had the greatest time. Hawk Ranch truly helped make our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more. We will always cherish the memories we made there, and we are so grateful to the entire Hawk Ranch team for making our wedding so beautiful and unforgettable. If you are looking for a gorgeous outdoor wedding venue with an amazing team and an all-inclusive experience, I would absolutely recommend Hawk Ranch! Thank you, Hawk Ranch, for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!”

“Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect.

“Heritage Park and Clarke estate are two hidden gem venues I love telling future clients about along with friends and family. Working there as a preferred vendor for nearly 5 years now has been a great experience as a vendor and for my clients as well. Working together with a venue to ensure the couples day is going well without a hitch is very important and let me tell you Leanne and her staff consistently work together and hard to make sure of that. Not only are both venues historic they're also affordable. That is a perfect combination for a venue Especially when people need to accommodate large guests 200-300 guests. Highly recommend both venues I do work more at heritage Park since their guest capacity is 300 but I always look forward to working with Leanne. Always a great experience.”

Theatricum evolved into a professional repertory company, offering Shakespeare performances and concerts. Ellen Geer now leads the theatre, known internationally for its Shakespearean interpretations. With year-round classes, concerts, and outreach programs, Theatricum aims to nurture theatre enthusiasts in the Greater Los Angeles Metro area, carrying on Geer's legacy.

“The Botanicum was a beautiful location for a weddimg ceremony. Ours was in late fall, and took place on the main stage. This provided a huge stage for the ceremony itself, a convenient amphitheater style seating for the guests, and a well hidden private backstage area with room for seating and mirrors for many people to change, final hairstyling, and so on. The Botanicum was equipped with speaker systems for our music during the ceremony itself, controlled by a professional from the Botanicum for a small extra cost. They were also able to provide certain extra props and items like large carpets and theater chests and chairs to use as we liked. For the reception the space was also fantastic, which as evening came is lit by series of fairy lights across the tables and become very elegant and atmospheric. The botanicum itself was extremely helpful and had a lot of advice on how best to arrange things and provided a lot of options and ideas on the whole ceremony. The overall cost was a fraction of some other weddings we've been to at far simpler looking locations.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of getting married at this venue just a month ago, and I can confidently say it’s a hidden gem! Everything came together beautifully. We chose the Elite Package and worked with their in-house florist, Events by Floral Sensations (amazing floral arrangements omg!), DJ from JC Entertainment, and cake vendor, Bo Cakes, while bringing in our own officiant and photographer. Every detail went above and beyond my expectations. I'm still getting compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and how amazing the food tasted! Iveth, our coordinator, was incredible. She made the entire process so smooth and stress-free, which truly says a lot coming from someone with a Type A personality who usually struggles to let go of control (LOL). The venue also provides a wedding planner to help keep everything organized and on track, which made the planning process so much easier for me. The day of coordination went without a hitch and Kyle, our DJ, did such an amazing job with the music for our ceremony and the reception and Iveth was on top of everything! The food was absolutely delicious! Admittedly, we were a little hesitant after sampling it at the extravaganza, where much of it was overcooked, likely due to the small bite-sized portions prepared for the crowd. But don’t let that discourage you. On the actual day, the prime rib was cooked to perfection, the sides were flavorful, and everyone kept raving about the tray-passed appetizers. Will set aside a special platter of appetizers for my husband and me so we wouldn’t miss out while we were taking family portraits during cocktail hour. The drinks were another highlight! Strong, flavorful, and consistently complimented by our guests! At the end of the night, they packaged up our leftover cake, 2 plates of leftovers to go with a bottle of champagne with a thoughtful thank you note. I would do it all over again! I am so glad I came across Wedgewood Weddings, you guys have an incredible team! To the Orchard Team: Iveth, Will, Sara, Anissa, Krystle, Kevin, Oscar, Rileigh, Abby and Marcella, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special. We couldn't have done it without you all! And Will, thank you for being so awesome and letting us feed your catfish LOL and the turtles at the end of the night.”

“Our wedding at Summit House Restaurant was an absolute dream come true. From the very first interaction, the team there was transparent, professional, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. The natural beauty of the venue lent itself to so many unforgettable moments and photos that we'll cherish forever. The Summit House team, from planning and ceremony coordination with LeeAnn, to the entire service team during cocktail hour and reception, ensured everything was seamless. They made sure we were well-informed and had everything we needed, and we loved that we were able to secure our own vendors while also using a couple from their preferred list. The gorgeous landscaping, accessible location, great food and service, and affordable pricing made Summit House the perfect choice for our special day. We couldn't recommend them more highly and would get married there all over again if we could!”

“This location was perfect!!!! I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with how easy the owners made my planning. Loved that we were able to bring outside vendors for food. They are family owned and let me tell you they make you feel like family. That was one of my favorite things about this venue. Karis was amazing. She is one of the owners and was so welcoming. I loved that they had all the things I needed and had connections if they didn't. This made planning stress-free. I didn't have to call around to find chairs/tables/linen/heaters etc. My guests were all amazed with how unique and beautiful the venue was. Hopefully in the near future we can have our baby shower there.”
