Malibu Farm may be the best new venue in San Diego! From the location to the farm to table restaurant we were blown away with the attention to detail.

This past Monday was the best day of my life—I married my best friend of 11 years, my soulmate, at the most perfect venue: Los Willows. This venue is truly what dreams are made of—a private Southern California oasis with an enchanting meadow, a romantic newlywed boat ride across a serene lake with a champagne toast, and a breathtaking reception space complete with a stunning chandelier ceiling. The photos don’t do it justice, but what truly makes Los Willows special is the incredible team behind it. From the moment I had my first conversation with our wedding coordinator, Lisa Moore, I knew we were in the best hands. Lisa isn’t just efficient—she’s passionate. On our big day, she was always five steps ahead, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free. She provided thoughtful amenities, invaluable advice, and, most importantly, a true sense of care. Lisa wasn’t just a coordinator—she became family. She and her team treated us like royalty, making every moment feel effortless and magical. The entire experience is something I will cherish forever, and there truly aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to Lisa and the Los Willows team for making my fairytale wedding a reality. If you or someone you know is planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and check out Los Willows—but not without asking for Lisa. She is the real magic.

I don’t know exactly where to start, but Cuvier Club was absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end in making sure our day was special, and they succeeded in that a million times. My husband and I began our search in 2023 to find a wedding venue that was not only nice and beautiful, but also warm and welcoming as an lGbt couple. We toured a few of the other Wedgewood owned venues that were more local to us in Los Angeles, each with their pros and cons, but before deciding on one of those, we decided to humor ourselves and take the 3 hour trip down to La Jolla to tour the Cuvier Club, and I am SO glad that we did. The Cuvier Club is absolutely beautiful. From the plant life, to the magical interior and the absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites, we knew immediately that this was the venue for us. Our first impression of the Cuvier Club was made so incredibly special by Anders. She was so incredibly informative, and we instantly felt a connection and knew that we were in good hands with her. She showed us around the venue, the various ceremony sites, and told us so much about the local area for places to take our wedding photos, where to have rehearsal dinners, and things to do for fun. The entire team - Anders, Lauren, Mandi, and later Janae and Selina - were absolutely wonderful. They always had smiles on their faces, helping to make our wedding day the best it could be. Like any event, nobody is perfect and there were some small hiccups along the way, but nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing that made a huge problem that couldn’t have been corrected with ease. On our wedding day, because we resonated with Ander so well, we requested her to be our day-of coordinator because we had so much confidence in her, as a fellow member of the lgbt family, to make our day the best it could be and we could tell deep down in her heart that she truly cared about us and wanted our day to be perfect, and it was. In addition to Anders, on our wedding day, Federico was our banquet captain with Sofia as our head server, and they were on it. They made sure we were taken care of at every moment, and I couldn’t commend them any more than I already do. 10’s, 10’s, 10’s across the board! From the DJ, to the officiant, to the planning team, to the management, you were all so fantastic and perfect, and I truly could not thank you enough, especially as a same-sex couple, for making our day as amazing as it could be. It’s not often that gay couples find a match, and even less often that they get married due to bigotry and hatred still shared by so many people, but you will find NONE of that here. They didn’t even slightly treat us any differently, and again, I cannot thank Anders enough for making us feel so welcome in the establishment. I would recommend this venue so highly to anybody, but I recommend it SO SO SO SO SO SO highly to anyone who may be a same-sex couple looking to find a venue that will accept them without hesitation.

I would get married here every day! We don't live too far away so we love driving by and reminiscing about the best day of our lives. They were very communicative and super easy to plan with. Considering this is in La Jolla, the price was also very affordable and they had a great list of vendors that they recommend. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day and very happy with the venue. We had the ceremony in the garden area, cocktail hour outside on the patio, and the reception indoors. It was early April so we were happy to have both options inside or outside, with last minute changes if necessary, as we weren't sure if it was going to be raining.
