Recently got married at Carlsbad Windmill and we had the best experience. The staff there was super communicative throughout the entire process and really helped take a lot of stress off of us. The day of was AMAZING - we couldn't have asked for a better, more organized experience. The details, the day of coordinator, & all of the other staff was just so awesome.

The Thursday Club

San Diego, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,200

OCEAN VIEW San Diego Wedding & Event Venue. The Thursday Club offers a beautiful outdoor garden for your ceremony, and a historic indoor clubhouse for your reception. We allow you to BYOB, which can be served by one of our Approved Caterers. Built in 1927 in Spanish architectural style, our extraordinary Clubhouse sits on a half acre of stunning ocean view property in the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood of Point Loma. The well-tended, often blooming gardens offer an inviting entrance into our charming clubhouse. Inside the clubhouse you'll find original, beautifully maintained hardwood flooring, French doors, stained glass windows, and historic details in the chandeliers, crown moldings and finishes. Outside a wonderland of pristine gardens with a flowing fountain, green arbors, trellises, winding paths, and breathtaking ocean views. Our Garden accommodates 145 chairs for ceremonies with standing room for 15 on our balcony. Indoor seated receptions accommodate 150 with a dance floor.

My wife and I were scouting the Thursday Club for a potential wedding venue, and as soon as we pulled up we knew it was perfect. Upon walking in and meeting Chris, our feelings were only affirmed even further. The warm hospitality you are greeted with can only be matched by the truly breathtaking views and location of the venue. We can honestly say there is not one thing we wish was different when looking back at our special day. The entire process, from scouting 9 months in advance, communication throughout, the rehearsal, and then the actual day of the event, everything was perfect. We even had the additional challenge of planning our entire event from the opposite side of the country, but Chris was so responsive and accommodating, it was seamless. We could not possibly recommend the Thursday Club any more, if you are looking for a magical venue with a wonderful host and some outstanding vendor recommendations, your search is over.

Green Gables

5.0

San Marcos, CA
  • Up to 425 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor

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.

I am not going to lie, there were a few times we were very nervous about booking with Trademark Venues at Green Gable. Our coordinator changed very early in the process, and we weren’t informed why. We did the food tasting and we were so disappointed with everything we tried. We then spoke to someone higher up who helped us customize our menu without getting extra costs. Day of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. Gina was a god send, paying attention to every detail. She handled everything and made sure the day was stress free for us. So many guests told us how delicious the food was, so we were thrilled as that was what we were most nervous about. And I can confirm that the cupcakes were sooooo good! Seriously could not be happier. Gina was amazing and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking Green Gables!!

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.

My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!

The Prado at Balboa Park is a National Historic Landmark which was originally built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. This two year festival was held in Balboa Park to promote San Diego and to celebrate the 1914 opening of the Panama Canal.

We had our wedding anniversary at the Prado and it was the dream celebration I wished I'd had for our wedding! FIrst off, the options we were offered for food choices was over the top. Everyone was so accomodating helping us with things. The day of, I felt like a Queen! I never lifted a finger- the staff always made sure I had a drink in my hand, and each time I got up from my chair, I came back to a seat with fresh a fresh napkin. The wait staff is so professional- they are there but not in your face. Everything we needed or wanted was handled for us. We have an event company, so have many contacts in the industry, and we chose to have our big party at the Prado because we knew we would be taken care of. We were not let down!

I cannot stop raving about this venue and the whole event planning team. We had such an amazing experience having out wedding at the Horton Grand Hotel, it makes me want to do it all over again. The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day.
