We were looking at venues for a few months before we found FruitCraft. We didn't really know what to expect but once we toured we fell in love! We knew we were in good hands when Alan the sales person tried to save us money on services they offered. FruitCraft went above and beyond for us. We were originally only going to have a reception but when we found out our ceremony site wasn't going to be available, Alan helped us with booking their outdoor space for our ceremony. We didn't even realize how stressful it would've been to have a ceremony and reception in separate places but on the day of, we were super appreciative that this was able to happen. They truly exceeded our expectations. On the big day, the staff took excellent care of us and our guests. Food and beverages were simply the best. Our guests raved about the drinks! We're so grateful for the unforgettable experience and we can't wait to go back and relive our moments in the place where we said our "I do's”

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.

Sacred Mountain Julian

Julian, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor

Sacred Mountain is a romantic outdoor venue that is nestled amongst 61 acres of lush, unspoiled nature. We are located in the charming and bustling town of Julian, California, just outside of San Diego. Our unique property has 4 well-appointed residences for overnight accommodations for up to 32 guests. Sacred Mountain welcomes family reunions, elopements, photoshoots, weddings, and retreats.

Let me start off by saying, I was a girl who never cared to get married, until I found Sacred Mountain Julian. I knew immediately from their photos, I needed to book my wedding there. Right when they announced their 2023 reservations were open, I immediately booked a walk through and basically booked my fall wedding. First off, the Sunset Plateau is so amazing and breathtaking to say your vows. I specifically told my photographer that I wanted to take as many photos possible on the property. Every area offers photos ops of your liking. The team there is amazing to work with. I recommend visiting the property to see the beauty for yourself.

Lake Cuyamaca Recreation & Park District
Julian, CA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,000

We have two venues: Island: Lake Cuyamaca has several scenic, natural sites suitable for small outdoor weddings. Our staff would be happy to show you different locations that may work for you, and we will do anything else we can to help you make this a memorable day. One very important thing to remember - Lake Cuyamaca is in the mountains and weather extremes can happen. Although the Julian area does not normally get a lot of snow, it does snow occasionally. Because of this, we do not recommend having your outdoor wedding here between the months of November and April. Ole Firehouse: The Firehouse is a newly renovated former fire station with a 40' x 60' event room, the perfect space for both weddings and receptions. Amenities include the venue room, a kitchen and restrooms, an outdoor patio area, a large, shaded deck, and an upstairs bridal dressing room. It has a 78 person indoor capacity with the Firehouse bay doors closed and a 120 person capacity when they are open.

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.
