The Secret Garden was the perfect venue for our group of 105 guests in May. It has an intimate feel, but still feels open and welcoming. The flowers were in bloom and the grass was very green. The coordination team did an amazing job accommodating all of our set-up requests and took great care of us on the day of. We are very pleased with everything and loved the preferred caterer and DJ that were part of the all-inclusive package. Overall we found this venue to be one of the more affordable options, especially given you bring in your own alcohol/drinks and can take home what’s leftover. This saved us at least 50/person. The surrounding area and city of Rancho Santa Fe are gorgeous. Parking was easy and all our guests loved the venue.

I've been in the industry since 2014 and the Harper is by far one of my favorite venues to work at! As a planner/coordinator myself, I've worked with several venues and none are as professional and accommodating to its guests as well as its vendors. I always know that everyone that comes through Harper's doors are in good hands from beginning to end. Service is always impeccable--making the wedding planning process and the day-of as seamless as can be! I do not know any vendor nor any couple that has been dissatisfied with the Harper and this speaks volumes to how they treat the people they serve. Will continue to recommend the Harper to my clients who are looking for a beautiful, modern venue that will not disappoint!

The Wedgewood team did an incredible job with executing this wedding. No wedding comes without hiccups but the team at University Club really smoothed those hiccups over and made sure that everyone was satisfied with the outcome. Thank you to McKenna for being so understanding. Brooklyn was our day-of coordinator and she did a great job with making sure the little details were all in order to make sure that we felt special. She was so good to our friends and family and treated not only us, but also our friends and family with kindness. She went the extra mile to make sure that all the details were in order before we even arrived. Rodrigo was our DJ/MC and wow, he really knocked it out of the park. He was almost "too" good at his job and we regret not leaving the dance floor ALL NIGHT. He heard what we were looking for and he executed perfectly. Our photographer, Kali and her team with LMP absolutely slayed. She was always present and we can't wait to see our photos. All of our guests loved the braised short rib, salmon, scalloped potatoes so Hilario in the kitchen did an amazing job. Having Wedgewood to package food, drinks, photography, florals and decor was very helpful and made decision making much easier. The venue was beautiful and was everything we wanted!

We had our wedding at The Richland in August of this year, and it was great overall! The venue is small and charming but at the same time has plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy themselves. Michael, Katherine, and the support staff were extremely helpful and very attentive to our every need, question, and concern, promptly addressing each of the few issues that arose during our two day stay and throughout the wedding. The bridal suite was great! Plenty of mirrors, storage, and seating for everyone. The staff set out a variety of pastries, orange juice, champagne, and coffee for us - so nice! They also offer a cool looking trolley to shuttle guests back and forth from the Lemon parking structure leading up to the wedding. The boutique hotel rooms are nicely designed and comfortable. We had to reserve a standard room the night before since they had another event going on. Unfortunately, the TV in that room never connected to their WiFi network, so we just set it as artwork and used our iPad for entertainment. We reserved the Cottage for the day of the wedding, which was perfect as a "getting ready"/ hang out area for the groomsmen. The TV there worked well and had no issues. The front door stuck a bit so you had to put some extra effort into closing it all the way. The Cottage is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for everyone to relax and be comfortable. We’re looking forward to staying here again in the future!

The French Estate was the best venue for our wedding of 70 people! When we originally booked with the French estate they had not added their rental options and we ended up adding the "Essentials Package" a few months before our wedding, which was perfect. We don't live in Orange County so having access to the decor, linens, extra hands and get ready time was so helpful. Melissa was our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Nothing went wrong the entire day and I am so grateful for the entire French Estate team. As for the venue itself it is such a beautiful location that can be dressed up as much as you want. I went very minimal but the natural beauty of the gardens and house was enough for me! We also used Olgas Cocina (caterer) and Waveform (DJ) off of their vendor list and they were amazing! I couldn't recommend this venue more.

From our first conversation with The Vintage Rose, we knew we'd found our venue. The team was responsive to every question and made themselves available whenever we needed them, which took so much stress out of the planning process. Our coordinator truly went above and beyond on the day of—when our florist didn't show up to move the centerpieces, she jumped in with the staff to handle it without us even knowing, so we could just focus on enjoying our day. The space itself is stunning and the pricing is amazing (especially with everything that is included!) which we really appreciated. Our families felt so welcomed by everyone there, the drinks never stopped, the DJ kept the dance floor full, and the food was delicious! We would absolutely book The Vintage Rose again in a heartbeat.

Our experience with Orange Hill was amazing! We only had our reception there, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. The staff were all great and helpful. I definitely recommend having your reception here! It was so beautiful and honestly, for everything you get with the packages, it’s more affordable than a lot of venues we were looking at. We had 86 guests and chose the Elegance package in the Starlight room, and it came with the room, all of the food (4 passed around appetizers, salad, bread and butter, entree), an open bar for 2 hours, a custom cake, and a patio area. I would skip out on the upgrades like changing the chairs or linens. Save yourself some money there, because it’s still beautiful without those upgrades. The food was absolutely delicious! We did the steak and chicken, and it was super yummy. I was nervous after reading a few reviews online of the food not being as good as during the tasting because it’s being mass produced, but that wasn’t the case at all! The one thing not included anywhere in the info packets is that you have no other option than to valet park, so just know that your guests will either have to pay for that, or you can pay for everyone’s valet and it’s 10 per car. We ended up paying for everyone’s valet which was another 500 so just be prepared for that if you don’t want your guests to have to worry about paying. It was an amazing day!
