The wedding was great and as a wedding planner, I enjoyed working with this team. From the start, they care for the client with respect and class. Especially loved working with Scott. He has the best personality and is so fun! We did have a staff change which somewhat caused a communication issue, but they quickly bounced back and made sure everything was correct and updated. As a wedding planner, I would certainly do another wedding here! The staff, food and facility are top notch!

I could write a book about how wonderful this venue is! A truly hidden gem in the historic art district in Dana Point. What makes it even more amazing are Cynthia and her husband Doug! Cynthia helped me coordinate and plan our event for my son’s Baptism reception and she brought the ideas in my head to life!! I’ve been disappointed with coordinators before. Cynthia is amazing! She took all of my stresses away and eased my mind with her guidance, experience, and professionalism. And one of the most important things to mention is that she worked with the budget I had to create that wonderful evening for us. She and Doug truly treat you like family. And they treated all of our family during the event - like family! Making sure everything was set up perfectly. And that everyone was enjoying themselves! I can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her catering services as well as this venue to everyone! Venue: Absolutely unique! They have projectors throughout the venue that can display moving backgrounds or photo montages throughout your event. So it can feel like you’re in an underwater aquarium, or NY in the 50s, or in a peaceful forest! They can also display different backgrounds or photo montages in different areas of the venue. Music: they have speakers throughout the venue and also outside so you can give them a playlist or even sync your Bluetooth so you can have your own playlist going. I suggested to Doug the “vibe” I was going for - Nora Jones meets Michael Buble meets Indie Arie. He definitely delivered!! You can also hire a DJ or a live band, however that may decrease your space usage for the venue. So it just depends on how many guests you want to have. Dance floor: they can stage the dance floor almost anywhere in the venue! Again, depending on how many guests you have. Outdoor patio: cute stylish outdoor patio area with fire pit! Our guests loved lounging in this area. Flower arrangements: Cynthia showed me several examples and were exactly what I envisioned! Food and beverages: SO delicious! Cynthia has a website of her catering services and menu options to choose from, or you can let her know the type of food you’re thinking of having and she can totally work with you! With her expertise, you can rest easy that she will deliver. We chose to have food served buffet style, but hors d’ouvres were butler In terms of beverages, we had water and tea station as well as a coffee and hot tea station. There is also the cutest little bar on the patio of the venue where Cynthia let us purchase our own alcohol to be served to our guests! And our bartender was awesome - professionally courteous yet super friendly and down to earth. The wait staff - professional and courteous! Very kind to all of our guests. Parking: There is a lot across the venue where guests can park and a few parking spaces right next to the venue. BONUS: We were able to drop off materials we needed to set up for the evening of the event a week prior! Depending on if the venue has events going on, Cynthia let me store most of our materials there a few days before the event which is such a time saver and stress reliever!! I was able to bring in the set up for our DIY photobooth, the frames that we were to display throughout the venue, and the beverages we purchased for the event as well as the cake! I highly recommend this venue and will definitely contact them again for future events!!

Adina and the Event Set crew transformed the GMMA into a beautiful wedding site and experience. We picked them because the price was right and the views were beautiful. On the day of the event the flowers were more grand than we expected for our price point, the DJ was engaging, and the food was better than any wedding I’ve attended. They accommodated our Indo-Western wedding with great Indian and western food. We even had his and hers mocktails. The food was the most customizable experience we found on the market. And it was tasty max. Adina is respectful, caring and patient. Your photos will be amazing with the view and the flowers. Especially if you have Trisha as your photographer. She is a master of lighting and angles. She makes quick work of editing and getting the photos back to you. Overall a great experience, less stress, and an all inclusive experience with lots of personalization.

Just had our wedding here on 9/28/24 and wow where can I start??! From the beginning when we toured the venue, we had no idea what to expect considering this was one of the more relatively lower budget venues we were touring at. So imagine our surprise when we got there and saw this venue, which was even more gorgeous than the more expensive ones we looked at previously. Pictures don’t really do this place justice. The venue has a Spanish-colonial design which makes for a perfect backdrop for photos. The arches both outside and inside the building really makes it feel grand. The string lights in the courtyard are so pretty, both in the daylight and when they’re lit up at nighttime. The hills of rolling green grass in the background really give off that golf club aesthetic and all the palm trees around the venue really pop off and give California vibes. The view of the grassy lawn and palm trees I saw when I walked down the aisle was truly breathtaking and I’ll never forget this moment. But mostly, we were in such good hands with Michael as the director. He comes from tons of experience (over 2000 weddings) and really treats your special day with so much empathy and care. Him and Mayra helped us out in so many ways: -Set up our welcome table, seating chart display, and decorations with very little direction. I didn’t have time during rehearsal to let them know how and where to set it up, and when the wedding day came, everything was already set up so beautifully. -We didn’t know we had to ask for a mic from our DJ, so we didn’t have one, and Michael took care of that problem very quickly. -Michael walked me around the back entrance of the venue before I walked down the aisle, my pointy heels kept getting stuck in the ripped hole in my wedding dress and Michael helped me pull it out twice. -Mayra helped me change into my 2nd wedding dress when I wasn’t able to find my bridesmaids near me. -Michael swept up the fake money off the floor during reception, and also hand delivered us our signature drinks when we asked for them. -I requested a signature drink that they’ve never made before and Michael personally tried out a bunch of recipes and helped pick out the best one. Overall, Michael and Mayra put so much care and thought towards this special moment of our lives. With this venue, you get it all-the perfect coordinators and the most beautiful setting. Some other things to note-food was amazing, both cocktail hour and reception. The food was also plated and presented very well too. The only area of improvement would be that there is no bridal/groom suite. It wasn’t an issue for us since there is a fitting room on site. But in the future, it there is an opportunity, building a bridal/groom suite would improve the experience for others greatly.

San Juan Capistrano, CA

  • Starts at $7,000

The traditional Mexican Palenque was an arena that hosted many large parties and even battles that date back to a Mayan civilization that still stands today in Chiapas, Mexico. El Adobe added the Palenque Room to match this Mexican event space concept and host larger parties of its own. Weddings had long since been taking place at El Adobe but with the new Palenque Room and Chapel location in the adjacent Garden, it gave guests a dedicated space to host a grand wedding celebration with up to 250 guests in attendance. One of the most well-known features of this room is the retractable ceiling that opens up almost 40ft across to expose the skies above San Juan Capistrano. The room and its Garden have evolved over time adding a full bar of its own and spacious restrooms to accommodate the larger guest count. However, it still holds its original style and beauty where thousands have come to celebrate their special events and gather their friends and families for an unforgettable night.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Offers convenient lodging options
  • Private area for the wedding party

As a wedding planner, I have had the pleasure of working with El Adobe de Capistrano countless times, and I can say with confidence that they are truly a standout venue. Their communication style is attentive and organized, which is so important when coordinating a seamless event. The quality of their work is exceptional - their food is delicious, and the service provided by their wonderful staff is simply incredible. It is so important that I guide my clients to venues that I trust wholeheartedly, and El Adobe is most certainly that!

Plaza De Magdalena was a beautiful venue for our wedding. The reception space was lovely. While the ceremony area and bridal suite were a bit on the smaller side, the venue provided great value overall. The food was amazing, and they included all the tableware and linens, which was a nice perk. The venue coordinator, Patti, could have been more responsive which was the most frustrating part about choosing this venue. However, the rest of team still did a great job making our day special. The groom's dressing area was a bit unconventional, being in a storage room, but they made it look nice. Overall, we're so glad we went with Plaza De Magdalena - it was an affordable option with a beautiful reception space and exactly what we needed.

We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Tijeras Creek from start to finish. Logan and Bryce were our points of contact and they made every piece of the planning process seamless. We opted not to have a day of coordinator and the way the Tijeras Creek team was there for us, felt like the same level of support. They had a ton of recommendations for vendors if we needed (we used the DJ they recommended and he was amazing!) The backdrop of the ceremony was picture perfect. They also had a bunch of recommendations for spots on the course to take our photos after the ceremony and gave us a golf carts to use with our photographer. The communication was always very thorough and quick to get back to me on the millions of questions I asked. They have a ton of options for food selection and style of service but we really had our heart set on Mexican food. We had been to Tijeras Creek for their Taco Tuesday so we asked if we could have that as an option. They were more than happy to accommodate and our guests RAVED about how good the food was! Everything about our wedding day was a 10/10. Thank you Tijeras Creek team!!!

We used the University Club by Wedgewood venue at UC Irvine. Wedgewood MADE our wedding happen. They were professional, communicative, and knowledgeable. As a bride, I cannot emphasize enough how important it was to work with a company that had everything under control so I could relax and enjoy my wedding. I cannot recommend them enough! Lydia was my coordinator; she was courteous, calming, professional, and on top of every little detail. She was a problem solver and a go-getter. If you want an affordable, easy-going wedding planning experience that will impress your guests, go with Wedgewood.

My husband and I got married June 2023 at one of their beachfront properties in Lake Elsinore. They made sure the beach looked perfect before our wedding day and it was completely stress free communication with them. Our vendors came and set up with ease and it wowed our guest when they arrived. We had our wedding and reception area on the beach, a bar and lounge area in the courtyard with our 360 Photo Booth setup, and way more parking than we needed. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again. They were affordable and I liked them so much I used another one of their lake venues for my baby shower!

I recently had my wedding reception at the Marriott Bayview Hotel in Newport Beach and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I must say that Nathalie, the Destination & Catering Sales Executive, and Alesia, the Event Manager, were instrumental in making our reception a truly unforgettable one. From the very first consultation, Nathalie and Alesia were extremely attentive to all our demands and needs. They listened carefully to what we wanted and worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the event was planned and executed to perfection. Even though we had a limited time window of just 2 days to organize the event, Nathalie and Alesia went above and beyond to ensure that everything was in order and ready on time. Throughout the event, Nathalie and Alesia were always available and ready to assist us with any last-minute requests or changes that we had. They were flexible and accommodating, making sure that every detail was taken care of. They truly went the extra mile to ensure that our special day was as memorable as it could be. Overall, I would highly recommend the Marriott Bayview Hotel in Newport Beach for anyone looking to host a wedding reception. Nathalie and Alesia were simply amazing, and their professionalism and dedication to their work are truly unparalleled. Thank you for making our day one of the most important and memorable days of our lives! I must also mention that the staff at the Marriott Bayview Hotel were exceptional. They were warm, friendly, and always went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. They were quick to respond to any request we had and were genuinely invested in making sure that we had the best possible experience. Their attention to detail and impeccable service truly made a difference in the overall atmosphere of the event. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding reception a truly memorable occasion.

We looked all over OC for a place to have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception that was beautiful and aesthetically neutral. Irvine Marriott on Von Karmann exceeded our hopes and dreams. From the process they made simple and easy, to the mostly inclusive venue (you just need a few additional vendors), to our guests having affordable rooms on site to enhance the experience. We customized our day to fit our vision and the team (Niki, Michelle, Chef, Thomas, etc) was amazing at supporting us to have the perfect day! We enjoyed the beautiful venue, the delicious customized food, a large getting ready room fit for the Kardashian’s, the photo opportunities in some special spots (IYKYK), the cocktail reception, the service/coordination (finding a last minute sewing kit to fix a bridesmaid’s dress with reassuring smiles), the honeymoon suite… our wedding weekend was perfection (and our guests all agree)!

They offered a complimentary suite upgrade on the night of our wedding, as well as the night before. They honored all our various food preferences. Brian offered to have multiple meetings to discuss all of the details. When I was sick and had to miss the menu tasting, they put the whole selection in to-go containers and included tea and cough drops in the bag. They offered complimentary car service to the beach for our sunset photos. I could go on and on! I cannot recommend the Lido House more highly.

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.

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.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the grand, forest-like entrance that set the tone for a truly magical experience. The venue exuded timeless elegance, with its enchanting architecture and lush surroundings, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere that was simply unforgettable. The attention to detail was impeccable, particularly with the table settings. Vintage candelabras adorned each table, casting a soft, flickering glow that added to the romantic and ethereal vibe of the evening. The decorations combined classic charm with modern sophistication, creating an ambiance that was both intimate and grand. Every corner of the estate felt thoughtfully curated to inspire awe and wonder. Our guests were equally mesmerized by the venue's charm, and we received countless compliments on how stunning everything looked. If you're looking for a venue that seamlessly blends elegance, romance, and a touch of whimsy, The Estate is truly unparalleled. Jovan and Mimi went above and beyond to ensure everything was memorable. It was the perfect setting for our special day, and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful backdrop to start our forever.

Here we are open to creative ideas and outside vendors such as florists, photographers, photo booths, food trucks and so much more.

  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Space for a large guest list
  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options

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.

Picking a wedding venue is now easy task and I'm so grateful to have found and chosen Shadowridge. Codie & Morgan were my coordinators, and they helped me so much with the process of planning, choosing the details, timeline, and day of coordination. Codie was absolute perfection, she is so sweet and kind, she handled the day of coordination amazingly, she was there for me whenever I needed her, and she knew exactly what to do even when I had no idea! The reception hall was GORGEOUS, I loved how everything was set up, she did everything and more to help ease the stress of my wedding day! I couldn't have done this without her, Codie, I'll forever be grateful for all of your help and pure kindness. The food service was also great, we received many compliments on the cocktail hour foods and dinner service! All of the staff there were incredibly kind and nice, the bartenders, staff, chefs, bus boys, everyone was amazing. Our DJ Arnie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, he is recommended by Codie and works frequently with Shadowridge and I'm so thankful we booked him. I definitely recommend having your wedding here, they did an exceptional job and Codie was perfection. Thank you!!!

I had my wedding at Victoria Ranch in February. It was perfect! The location is stunning with beautiful views and a gorgeous sunset – plenty of spots for incredible photos. Our wedding was 80 people and there were tons of spots throughout the property for people to wander, explore, and take photos, while still feeling intimate. We had a happy hour event the night before our ceremony and reception, all of which were catered by the preferred vendor, Chef Joann. The food was incredible. Hands down the best wedding food ever. We ended up staying at the property for two nights with our families and when the weather got chilly at night we ended up moving the party into the ranch itself. The ranch is charming and cozy, full of vintage tchotchkes that made this antique lover's heart melt. Perhaps most importantly, the team was easy to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. They were responsive and knowledgeable. I put a lot of trust in their vision and input. It was the best decision because it took a lot of the stress off of planning a wedding, knowing that the catering and venue was in good, capable hands.

Our wedding day was everything and more! I loved working with the team at David L. Baker. From Amber's in-depth tours to Hannah's thorough planning. I couldn't ask for a better wedding day. Hannah and her entire staff were so helpful the day of the event. They made sure every step of the way we were being taken care of. They went above and beyond when helping set up, even when it wasn't their responsibility to and it didn't stop there - the entire rest of the night was spent making sure whenever they could help they did. We couldn't recommend David L. Baker more. If you are looking for a wedding venue with an amazing and helpful staff this is the place to book!

I had the pleasure of filming a wedding and reception on location at Red Horse Barn this past year and what an amazing place! The in-house event company are great to work with. They not only make sure that the wedding couple has a fantastic experience, but they make sure to work as a team with the other vendors to ensure that the whole day comes together seamlessly. As a videographer it's so refreshing to work at a location that really cares about their clients and their vendors. I can't wait to be back filming there again soon!
