Our wedding was absolutely incredible, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience from start to finish. Every single detail was thoughtfully executed, and the entire team made us feel so cared for throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. A huge thank you to our amazing wedding planners, Petr and Bri from Wedgewood. They kept everything running seamlessly, answered every question we had, and made what could have been a stressful day feel completely effortless. We also have to recognize Brynn, our banquet captain, who ensured everything flowed perfectly behind the scenes. Their professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. The entertainment was unforgettable thanks to DJ Maestro. Mik absolutely understood the vibe we wanted and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night long. The addition of the cellist during our ceremony was stunning and made the entire experience feel so elegant and memorable. The florists completely exceeded our expectations. They created the most breathtaking floral arrangements, including a gorgeous flower chandelier that truly became a centerpiece of the room. The creativity and craftsmanship were beyond anything we could have imagined. Our cake from Violet Cakes was both a work of art and incredibly delicious. Malissa designed the most beautiful three-tier cake adorned with fresh flowers, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing it tasted. Finally, we have to give the biggest shoutout to Nico and Paul from True Photography. They were an absolute dream team. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, were endlessly patient, and worked together so seamlessly that it was obvious how talented they are. We honestly can't wait to see our photos because watching them work gave us so much confidence that they're going to be spectacular. We truly had the wedding of our dreams, and we're so grateful to everyone who made it possible. If you're considering this venue, don't hesitate—you'll be in the best hands possible!

We did not use The Knott to find this venue but we had such an amazing experience we had to share. The venue itself, the first thing you see is a modern foodhall / full bar with a large variety of restaurants. If youre staying at the hotel connected, it was such a great place to hangout with your bridal parties before everything starts. Moving along to the even areas, the ceremony room gives off a modern barn yard style venue and it's such a pleasant contrast from what you initially see when first walking in which really adds to the "wow" factor when entering the room. The cocktail hour area is amazing as well and after we gifted some of our items, they will now have Cornhole and a beer cart available! The area itself is wide open with great seating areas as well. The reception is another instance where the contrast is such a difference from the food hall downstairs, it once again adds so much to that jsw drop reaction. We were approached multiple times complementing how "cool" this venue was and it was definitely a true compliment. Now the venue wouldn't be anywhere with out the staff and I can not say enough great things about them. The entire time was courteous, professional and really give they sense that they want to make sure you have your special day as one to remember. Specifically wanted to shout out our amazing coordinator - Brianna, banquet captain - Lee j and Dj - Rhy's. These three went above and beyond for us and it seemed like that was just their normal demeanor. Brianna made sure we had nothing to worry about and made every part of the planning process a breeze. Lee J was also always checking in appropriately often to ensure we were never left wanting, thirsty or hungry. Rhy's was also great to work with, we had a very specific request with music which ended up having my wife and I take part in a lightsaber fight to two different versions of starwars music - Duel of the Fates, and he handled it masterfully. All in all, 10/10 can not recommend enough.

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.

Fallbrook did an amazing job and made our special day something we will never! We had to change venues with only 2 months before the wedding and the Wedgewood team and the Fallbrooks team in particular did everything in their power to make the transition seamless! Fallbrook was responsive to everything we needed, while always keeping to the schedule and being efficient. The venue was gorgeous with beautiful sights, which made for the best photos and video we could ask for. Overall, we would rate our Wedgewood experience and in particular Fallbrook Estates a 10 out of 10!

Our wedding at the Stone House at Temecula Creek Inn was even more amazing than we had hoped. From start to finish, the team at Temecula Creek Inn was incredibly helpful, responsive and made the whole planning process easy. The tasting event and the signature drinks planning event were so much fun and a great date for the two of us before our big day. On the day of, the team handled everything so there was nothing we had to think about except enjoy the day. The space itself is gorgeous and our ceremony had a dreamlike quality. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same area was so smooth, yet still felt like each space was its own. Additionally, many of our guests loved getting to stay at the hotel since many of our guests had come from out of town. All in all, it was the perfect wedding space.

To our coordinators Tracey and Tobie for going above and beyond for us. Also to Alex our florist, our beautiful florals and every other staff member who made this day unforgettable. Tracey is well organized and to say she is more than capable is an understatement. Anything we needed, was taken care of. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately. Any issues there may have been, I didn’t even know about and if I found out later it was already resolved with another solution. They truly took care of us at CRC. I can honestly say Tracey, Tobie, and every staff member went above and beyond for us! We are truly overwhelmed with the details, the time, and dedication everyone gave to us that day. It was perfect in every aspect . The food was amazing through their direct caterers, both James and Lorena at Redtail catering took such great care of us and all our guests. We felt the love and support from every angle with the CRC family. Tracey captivated every moment and detail that we asked for with her talented creativity, her transparency, & seasoned experience. Since day one we almost immediately fell in love with the property & knew that we could trust Tracey with this important task of helping us plan our special day. . . A beautiful ranch , in wine country during fall what more could a bride and groom ask for? If you are searching for the perfect Temecula venue look no more.
