We told them what we wanted, questions were asked and the team executed. We are so thankful and appreciative how much effort they put into making the day go as smoothly as possible. All of their staff was amazing, so personable and friendly! Laura, I hope you keep busslin’! We cannot thank your team enough!

Lot 8

4.0

San Diego, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Party under the palms of Lot 8, a modern, unique, open-air wedding venue in central San Diego. The location is a hidden gem that comes to life with living walls, cool and exciting repurposed furniture, and boho chic decor. Our cutting edge inclusive wedding package makes wedding planning come to life in a stress-free way so you can enjoy the wedding journey 100%. Featuring an outdoor space located in an open lot area with a beautiful covered area for reception, Lot 8 is a flexible and customizable floor plan allowing you to envision your event layout in any way you'd like!

We found this venue after a quick Google search, and we ended up loving it! The venue itself is rustic and beautiful with all of the succulents. The company was good to work with and answered all of our questions! There were 2 issues I had working with them, but overall they were easy to work with. We worked with a different person for each step of the planning process. I had a different consultant for my first call, in person consult, and day of planner (who was absolutely amazing!). Much of the time when we emailed questions, they were answered by different people within the company and I would receive multiple replies for the same question. I would’ve really liked to have just one contact instead of bouncing between people. My second problem is that it would be days before I would get a reply from them, and much of the communication was behind of the schedule we were initially given. I received an email for our final payment with specific instructions a week late on the day of the rehearsal…which was also when the payment was due. Luckily we were able to scrape it together just in time. All in all, they were great, put together a wonderful wedding day and took good care of us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill was our dream day!! The Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood team made our entire wedding planning process so enjoyable and simple. Every interaction with the planning team we were greeted with helpful (and prompt) answers to any of our questions. We loved Wedgewood because we were given the skeleton of the planning process and then we could add as little or as much as we wanted to make the day feel more special and unique to us. We had a lot of flexibility with adding anything extra we wanted. When we had a little hiccup with one of our outside vendors on the day of the wedding, our coordinator and assistant remained calm and helped take care of any issues. Our coordinator Brianna, was amazing and so helpful since the first day we met her. She remembered all of the little details we told we wanted to include in our wedding day, and she made our wedding decor and set up look just as we had dreamed. Specific to the Windmill venue itself, the location is 10/10! We had our rehearsal on at a local restaurant. For the wedding day, the bridal suite is provided at the attached Carlsbad by the Sea hotel, grooms suite is inside the Windmill venue, the ceremony space and reception space are in the same building inside the Windmill. We did our First Look at the Carlsbad Bluffs overlooking the ocean (3 minute drive from venue). And we even had an after party 12am-2am at the downstairs bar at the Windmill Food Hall. Can’t forget to mention the beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields directly across the street! Everything was close by and convenient for all of our guests. The Windmill itself is a beautiful and unique venue. The ceremony space is breathtakingly beautiful (I cried the first time I saw it). Overall I can not say enough good things about The Carlsbad Windmill venue and their team. So happy we got married there!

Ethereal Gardens

4.6

Escondido, CA
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Set on 40 acres of edible gardens, surrounded by old growth orchards and 100 acres of organic herb and vegetable farms… An “out of the box” venue that is completely private and not just another golf course, winery, banquet hall or hotel. Here we are open to creative ideas and outside vendors such as florists, photographers, photo booths, food trucks and so much more.

Ethereal gardens is a gorgeous venue and my wedding was stunning. That said, there are several things that Ethereal Gardens/Trademark Venues needs to improve on. 1- The contract includes additional costs (service fees, bar, additional guests, decor, etc) It becomes overwhelming and confusing to understand exactly how much your final cost will be. It needs to be better organized. 2- The invoice is the only location where you can see your cost breakdown, and they do not date any changes to the invoice. So one day your total cost is X, the next day it’s Y, and you have no idea what was added to the invoice. There is no record of changes. This is not a best practice for running a business and caused us extra stress. 3- The contract states that you cannot have a coordinator or a wedding planner because Trademark IS the wedding planner. This was frustrating because I did everything that a wedding planner should have done (creating the floor plan and seating chart, coordinating meetings, timeline, selecting/communicating with vendors…). Would have been nice to be able to have a planner to do those things like we were promised. 4- My planner tried to start my ceremony early, almost 20 minutes early! Even though most of my family wasn’t there yet! Luckily I said no and it went on as planned but that shouldn’t have even been suggested. 5- The security guards were VERY rude to guests who showed up late. 6- The venue set up my guest book upside down so the signatures are at the back of the book, welcome table was messy, and my gorgeous seating chart was set against an ugly brown wall so all photos of it are ruined. 7- Two full rows at the front during the ceremony were empty because people didn’t know they could sit there. This ruined certain photos because it’s very empty looking. 8- Getting-ready rooms are available at 11:30am (bride) and 2:30pm (groom) regardless of when your wedding starts. The venue does not accommodate based on your specific wedding timeline- unless you pay 1500 which only gets you an extra hour in the rooms. Wish we would have known that up front. Caused more stress and confusion. 9- A security guard snapped his fingers at one of my guests to tell them to leave when he was just waiting for his girlfriend to get out of the bathroom. And the staff started taking tables apart as our wedding was still going on! This led to one of our guests losing a jacket that was on the back of a chair someone took away. Summary: Wedding was beautiful, food was great, venue was gorgeous. However Ethereal Garden’s processes are messy and very greedy/money focused, and some their staff is rude and made guests uncomfortable.

Earthy, light, airy and feathery- In the shade of a lush, landmark forest, this historic garden estate is surrounded by ivy-covered arbors, blooming rose gardens, trickling fountains, picturesque statuary, and thousands of bright twinkling lights. A grand bridal parlor and vintage gentlemen’s speakeasy, outfitted with timeless, charming accents and furnishings, provide the perfect scenery for your preparations before reciting your vows in one of our three breathtaking ceremony spaces.

We had a great experience with Trademark at GG. It’s a semi all inclusive venue so they provided a planner (we had Courtney, she was great!) set up meetings throughout the planning process to go over timeline, details & food. The food was amazing as well! We did family style. The venue was stunning, especially at night. I highly recommend working with Trademark at any of their venues.

La Jolla Woman's Club

5.0

La Jolla, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

La Jolla Woman’s Club is located in the heart of La Jolla Village, one block from the ocean. With its exquisite private gardens, historic Irving Gill building and ocean view, the club is a magical setting for any special occasion. The club hosts private events such as weddings, non-profit fundraisers, receptions, lectures, dinners, holiday parties, celebrations of life, retreats and educational meetings.

I would get married here every day! We don't live too far away so we love driving by and reminiscing about the best day of our lives. They were very communicative and super easy to plan with. Considering this is in La Jolla, the price was also very affordable and they had a great list of vendors that they recommend. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day and very happy with the venue. We had the ceremony in the garden area, cocktail hour outside on the patio, and the reception indoors. It was early April so we were happy to have both options inside or outside, with last minute changes if necessary, as we weren't sure if it was going to be raining.

Secluded Garden Estate

  • Starts at $4,400

Beautiful, outdoor venue with a view! Affordable, create your dream wedding on your budget with your vendors, or ask us about our all-inclusive option. Our venue has 3 sites to stage your wedding and has varied scenic environments. The actual wedding reception secluded, private and intimate -thus, the name, Secluded Garden Estate. The space features magnificent unobstructed views, with no houses in sight. Park Like Setting provides for many artistic photo opportunities. We are centrally located between Riverside and San Diego Counties. You are given the ability to fully customize the wedding of your dreams at Secluded Garden Estate.

Overall was a beautiful and very affordable venue! There was a lot of different rules that were very different than other venues so we had to be creative with decorations, send off, alcohol / bar, etc.. Emily was hard to get ahold of (because she doesn’t call due to a voice thing), and didn’t email back very often which made it difficult for my wedding planner. I really did love the views and they had staff that helped day of as well. The trash truck broke somehow and they charged us, although it wasn’t our fault and it was guaranteed for us which was a downside. All little things that didn’t affect our big day very much! Overall, beautiful venue and was so nice to bring in all of our own vendors to customize what we would pay!
