Awarded Best of Zola
The team at Carlsbad Windmill is top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs! As a wedding guest last December, I had an incredible time! First off, the ceremony hall is like stepping into a cathedral of light and space. High ceilings? Check. Skylights? Double check. And there's a window wall on your right, so we all caught a mesmerizing silhouette of the bride before her grand entrance: incredible. We headed out to the patio for photos, drinks, a delicious cheese platter, and supersized Jenga, then made our way up to the great hall. The theme was gorgeous with colorful tropical flowers, blue glassware, exposed rafters, and beautiful modern bubble chandeliers. And get this—they had a phone service that turned your well-wishes into an vinyl LP. The dessert bar and drink selection were top-notch and we all loved the buffet. The DJ was fabulous: we danced and danced ... Then 10 steps and we were tucked up in the Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel. We had a great time and highly recommend Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood Weddings.

A grand bridal parlor and vintage gentlemen’s speakeasy, outfitted with timeless, charming accents and furnishings, provide the perfect scenery for your preparations before reciting your vows in one of our three breathtaking ceremony spaces.

We had a great experience with Trademark at GG. It’s a semi all inclusive venue so they provided a planner (we had Courtney, she was great!) set up meetings throughout the planning process to go over timeline, details & food. The food was amazing as well! We did family style. The venue was stunning, especially at night. I highly recommend working with Trademark at any of their venues.

We show off extraordinary specimens in exhibitions such as Age of Mammals, the Dinosaur Hall, the Gem and Mineral Hall, and our beloved dioramas. But in addition to sharing the history of the planet, we also explore the transformation around us right now: Becoming Los Angeles, the outdoor Nature Gardens, and the Nature Lab look at the relationship between environment and people, past and present, in L.A. In all of these experiences at the museum, whether they're inside or outside, we’re interested in the intersection of nature and culture—in L.A. and beyond.
