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.

We chose FruitCraft because their catering team went above and beyond for us! There were a few Indian dishes that my family wanted, and they were able to deliver them! This was not on the menu, but they truly accommodated us. Their efforts to include these dishes added such a personalized touch to our celebration. We knew if they could deliver on something like this, they would be able to give us the wedding we wanted.   Their team was on top of everything the day of. We truly felt like we didn't have to worry about anything. From the DJ, florals, cake, etc., everything came together so well! Our guests kept complimenting the food, venue, and drinks.   We honestly can't imagine having our big day anywhere else!

UNION KITCHEN & TAP ENCINITAS

With its unique, upscale experience, whimsical cocktails, classically-flavored food, local craft beers, and boutique & artisan wine selections, Union Kitchen & Tap has been spell-binding for tourists and locals alike since 2011. A comfortable, casual environment with breezy coastal charm offers the perfect setting to enjoy creative New American cuisine inspired by regional and seasonal culinary trends and made from scratch with herbs and vegetables grown onsite. It comes as no surprise that Union Kitchen & Tap has been named one of the top 100 restaurants in America, and was awarded Ranch & Coast Magazine’s “Best Neighborhood Hotspot” in 2015 & 2016.

If you are looking for a place to host your next event, then check them out! My husband and I had our wedding reception at Union Kitchen and Tap in Encinitas in October. We were blown away by the service provided and fell in love with the atmosphere, the food, and the support from their staff. The staff totally killed it! Amazing food, personalized drinks that our guest LOVED and would not stop talking about, and let's not forget about the friendly service. Our wedding day could not have been possible without these guys. One of our favorite memories is watching the Union team members dancing, singing and having fun along with the 80's Flashpants band. A special shoutout to Amy, Union Kitchen and Taps event coordinator! Amy made the overwhelming process of wedding planning fun, easy and truly enjoyable. She is personable, down to earth, kind and radiated a calming presence that helped ease all the nerves that come along with a big event. Her knowledge and experience in the field shows and her passion for making our vision come to life was evident. She was extremely patient with us and took the time to understand our vision and then was able to execute it with such grace. Amy supported all of our menu changes and day of event schedule changes with ease. Anytime we had an idea, she made it happen.... no questions asked. She really went above and beyond to make this day perfect. We can't even begin to explain how blessed we were to have Amy be a part of our day! C&S Randolph

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.

My wife and I got married at The Vistonian in July and we LOVED the venue! Through all the ups and downs of the covid restrictions the venue was super easy to work with and Alyssa maintained constant communication with us throughout. The venue was so perfect and turned out so beautiful. My wife and I still talk about just how amazed we were with how everything looked. The bridal suite was perfect for the bride and all the bridesmaids to get ready in so that was an awesome perk of the venue. All of our guests loved the beer and wine selections and there were a ton of great spots for photos in the venue and a ton of great spots around the outside of the venue as well. Overall it was an absolutely perfect day at a perfect venue. Thank you again Alyssa and the rest of the staff at The Vistonian!
