This is THE ONE!
We loved having our wedding here-Candy and Jazmine are great communicators and delivered the wedding of our dreams. They also made it incredibly stress-free and were available if we had any questions. Even when it rained right before our ceremony, they were very quickly able to transition to plan B and our guests didn't even notice!

We could not have been happier with La Escondida! Our coordinator, Jazmine, was heaven sent. She was informative, attentive, and extremely personable. This outdoor venue was absolutely beautiful! The one stop shop was amazing.
