An event at Flora presents itself polished and turnkey with features like wainscot walls, custom doors, and bespoke furnishings. Visualize lofted ceilings, a 70-foot long living wall, two 12-foot custom skylights, hanging garden chandeliers, and over 130 plants.

Flora is like a wormhole that takes you from the urban vibe of downtown san diego to a peaceful private garden sanctuary. The owners are awesome and have put every detail in the space, from including tables, chairs, decor, even to a Flora specific scent when you enter! This place is awesome, we love hosting events here.

We loved having our wedding reception at the museum! It was a unique venue, bright, and spacious. It’s an experience we (and our guests) still talk about almost 6 years later. It was a stress free wedding as Jenny (venue coordinator) was so easy to work with and very helpful in coordinating with all of our vendors and day of wedding coordinator. The museum has an approved list of vendors, and made suggestions that made the night even more special (like keeping the dinosaur skeleton out during the reception!) The cocktail hour was held on the second level, and the guests were able to walk through the exhibits. The reception was on the first level which was spacious.

Rose Creek Cottage 1900 was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The staff was very responsive and timely in all of their communication, which helped make the planning process stress-free. The church, reception hall, and grounds were all beautifully maintained and provided a wonderful setting for our celebration.

We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a gorgeous, great value option for their special day.

Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center is the best kept secret and absolute jewel of a location for an event. I had my wedding here and you have access to the whole building, terrace, movie theater and amphitheater. It was a JOY working with Janet (operations manager). Perfect venue for amazing views and unique setting great for nature lovers. Maybe the best part is that what you pay to rent the facility goes to the MTRP Foundation to support the park- it's like making a donation! We loved that so much. Thank you for a beautiful venue for our wedding- it was a SUPERB experience from start to finish!
