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.

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
We had an amazing experience working with Forgotten Barrel! They were super helpful & communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process. We were planning from afar, so it was super great to already have the DJ, caterer, drinks, and dessert already booked through the venue. Alyssa was great to work with to answer questions and to be a resource to find other vendors in the area. I used their "recommended vendors" list to book our photographer which was also amazing! The food caterer that they use was soooo good, all of our guests raved about the food!

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.

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.
