My husband and I just had our wedding at Willow Creek Events this month and the venue and day was absolutely magical! If you’re looking for an outdoor venue with whimsical and garden vibes, you NEED to check it out. My husband and I had to start over venue hunting about 6 months prior to the wedding due to disorganization and terrible communication with our original venue. Bethany (the venue coordinator) and Willow Creek Events was literally the answer to our prayers. Bethany was always so thorough and reliable with her communication and responses, with scheduling walkthroughs with our vendors and she had flexibility and quick solutions for any and all unexpected situations. We felt so taken care of, the venue is pet-friendly, and on the day-of, everything turned out EVEN BETTER than we could’ve imagined or thought possible. The entire staff at Willow Creek Events were amazing and so friendly, our guests loved every aspect of the wedding and we can’t thank Bethany and the whole Willow Creek Events staff enough.

Allow yourself to be transported back to 1891 with the ultimate storybook setting for your special day. Lush gardens, twinkling rose arbors, tranquil waterfalls, and romantic statuary surround a historic estate nestled among the towering trees of a private, intimate forest. A restored Grand Parlor offers the perfect quarters for your bridal party to prepare for the special day and capture memories among classic turn-of-the-century furnishings and artistry. Our traditional Gentlemen’s Clubhouse provides a separate vintage setting for relaxation, celebration, and those final man-to-man words of wisdom. Dine and dance the night away with your guests in a grand tented pavilion adorned with elegant peaks of chiffon, glimmering crystal chandeliers, and your own customized arrangements and décor.

We had a wonderful experience planning with Trademark Venues for our Twin Oaks wedding. The grounds are insanely beautiful, and our guests were so complimentary of the venue, food, and staff! Morgan, our event planner, helped us with so much - including several choices with decor or spirits for our specific guest count, recommendations for local vendors, support with personalizing our timeline so we could prioritize the parts of the day that were important to us, and much more. She was instrumental in bringing our vision to life and keeping things on track on wedding day itself. We absolutely recommend the convenience of choosing a semi-inclusive venue like Twin Oaks and any of the Trademark locations where they provide much of the decor, rentals, and staffing for the ease it gives the couple! The Trademark staff was nothing short of extraordinary to us during wedding planning and we would choose them and this venue again 100 times over!

The venue has 5 halls, so depending on your guest count, you can have a super large wedding or small. On the day of, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and all of our guests raved about the delicious food and beautiful reception setup.

We worked with Bernadette as our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been more of a joy to work with. She was so detailed oriented and attentive, which made the planning process feel easy and fun, and she truly brought our dream wedding to life. On our wedding day there was a mixup in days with our donut vendor (so they didn’t show up) and literally within a matter of an hour Bernadette and her team found a new vendor, placed a new order, and even took the liberty to go pick up and deliver the 100 donuts.. they made sure my husband and I knew any hiccups or stresses were taken care of by them so we could just enjoy our day day. They also let us bring our dog which was an amazing perk! The venue is stunning and the Ethereal Gardens team will do everything in their power to make sure your day is a DREAM - highly recommend!

The atmosphere felt so calming and intentional, creating a space where everyone could slow down and be present. It was a beautiful place to celebrate something meaningful, surrounded by nature and quiet charm.

We loved our wedding at the Flower Fields! The venue comes with a day-of coordinator who is very helpful and makes sure everything goes smoothly. We had our wedding end of June, so the flower fields flowers were not in bloom, but the grounds still had a lot of other flowers and greenery that made the setting truly lovely. Plus, the barn and stage area are decorated with string lights that look great, so you really do not need to add many decorations. We are so happy we did our wedding there!

Lomas Santa Fe Country Club made the whole wedding planning experience easy so my now husband and I could focus on the day. From handling the amazing food to coordinating the table florals, the team at Lomas works really hard to give you a perfect day. Some highlights from ours: (1) The food. The chef is phenomenal and very flexible when it came to our diet restrictive guests. Everything we tried was amazing and I got rave reviews from my guests that there was more than enough delicious food throughout the event. Also, all the stars for our “getting ready” brunch spread with fun carved fruit included. (2) The staff. From Caryn and Chelsi to the whole bar/wait staff day off, everyone was so kind and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They really made our event feel even more special. Shout out to our waitress who ended up finding us before her shift was over to give big hugs and wish us well. (3) Location and facility. Both my husband and I are from San Diego and knew we wanted to be more central for our North County and Downtown friends and this was the perfect spot. Our golden hour pictures with the ocean in the background and shots in front of the iconic Lomas window were beautiful. Additionally, both getting ready spaces were private, large, and (for the bride) had a large area to do makeup and hair. The actual event space required very little decoration too since the ceremony space is on the golf course with the ocean in the distance and an arch is included in your package. Also, the reception space is just beautiful on its own with the huge fireplace, wood beam ceilings and chandeliers. Overall, my wedding planning experience was very seamless due in large part to the great group at Lomas.

Amy thought of every single detail, answered all of our questions, and was there on the night of to make sure everything was run flawlessly. The food and drinks were incredible. The space is awesome with tables, lounge area, fire pits, and space for a dance floor and DJ.

Where do I begin? My husband and I debated whether to have a large wedding in downtown LA where we work and live. Most of our family and friends live and work there too, so we wanted to be as accommodating for travel and hotel stays. But as time passed, we realized that's not really what WE wanted. What we wanted was to feel somewhere else, somewhere far away and secluded from the city without actually traveling hours and hours. Rancho Bellasante provided that and more. The ranch is gorgeous and there are plenty of options for ceremony and reception sites. Trust me, it was not an easy decision on where to be married as all sites were gorgeous. We ended up choosing the Agave Grotto for the Ceremony and the Sycamore Terrance for reception. Everyone raved about the views from the Ranch and just how warm and inviting it felt. We got married in October so the trees at the Sycamore terrance were turning colors giving the reception that autumn feel we were hoping for. With such a big day, you'll have so many questions for your coordination. Any concerns we had the venue team was ready to answer and accommodate to their fullest. For such an important day, Rancho Bellasante was the perfect venue to be at and work with!

This is the perfect reception venue. Nicola the event coordinator immediately called me after I submitted an inquiry and from then on her communication was amazing. The museum went out of their way (to include leaving up pieces of art that they knew we loved for our reception) to make our day so special. You need very minimum decorations because the art truly shines and the space is beautiful. The building is modern, which allowed for our own creativity like projecting large images on the outside, facing the street. Our guests raved about it and when not dancing or enjoying food were able to wander the galleries and even purchase some art! I was able to create a special space for kids to get creative as well. Of all the venues we toured the museum gave us the most flexibility and options and we’re very gracious about what vendors we could use allowing us to have a truly custom event that represented our lives and relationship. I am so thankful for the staff at OMA for making our experience so exceptional! Not only will you have a unique venue, but your money is going to support the arts and the local community of Oceanside!

Whether you are hosting an intimate wedding or a grand event for two hundred guests, Milagro is the perfect outdoor venue in San Diego.

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!
