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!

Can't say enough about The Stonehurst! Nancy and her team made our wedding process and day seamless and perfect. We used pretty much every part of this amazing venue: upper deck for the ceremony, greenhouse for the reception, barn for the cocktail hour, bungalow for a more private getaway for the bridal party. On the wedding day, there were so many different picturesque spots for the photographers to use and it really brought the day together!

I had the BEST day here. Obviously getting married was already exciting, but Morgan, Ireland, Mike, and all the team were phenomenal. Clearly they are practiced in what they do and are an extremely well oiled machine. I wish I could get married here a million times!

Wedgewood themselves did a wonderful job. They took care of essentially everything for us. There are some things to consider when booking. They DO NOT allow you onto the grounds before 9 am on the day of your wedding. This was an issue for the bride when figuring out where to get ready with hair and makeup. We needed to get ready beginning at 8:00 AM and this was a difficult fix for us as we had planned the whole timeline being able to get ready in the beautiful bridal suite. We didn't get to utilize that space hardly at all as a consequence. With that said, the reception and ceremony spaces were gorgeous and our guests had a wonderful time. We were so happy with the rest of the planning process, minus one of their vendors. I would HIGHLY suggest this to anyone getting married. It was such an easy process! Just make sure to keep in mind your timeline well ahead of time! Seems small, but was the hardest part of our logistics was not being able to use the bridal suite as we had hoped.

Alyssa and Billy were fantastic at answering any questions that I had throughout this wedding process. They also helped set up as well the day of, they had a nice big fire place and heaters to keep my guest warm throughout the evening. I held my ceremony and reception there for about 30-40 people, it was the perfect size and place for this, could even fit more. I love just how easy and simple the whole process was, especially for guest for additional parking. The size of the cabins were great for getting ready on and for family to stay on site after the wedding. They also had amenities for bathroom, an onsite kitchen for food handling and a trash bin/cans as well. It fitted perfectly for the esthetic I was going for with so many trees and beautiful scenery of mountains.

Being able to have such an experience with our closest friends lodged on-site was one of the best memories ever for everyone that was there and everyone talks about how legendary this was. Our hosts were amazing, responsive providing all the information about how to get the best out of our stay and more. Super super recommend Sany on the Hill for an unforgettable romantic experience!
