Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • No in-house catering options
My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!

The Jewel of Ortega is an absolute dream. From the minute the venue manager responded to our inquiry, we were over the moon about this place. It checked all our boxes for a retreat style wedding for our wedding party, parents and grandparents, in a nature-filled spot in Southern California but not difficult to get to, customizable to our vision and desires, and with an authentic and laid back team. Before we left our first venue visit we knew we would sign. The previous venue manager was very flexible with our requests and everyone we worked with on the approved vendor list was incredible and excited to go back to The Jewel, although we did appreciate that we had the option to choose others too. A month before the wedding, said manager left the venue and we were so nervous about how the transition to the new manager Sally and her team would go, especially as we were planning a DIY wedding from abroad and had only visited the venue twice. The handover was absolutely seamless and turned out better than we could have ever imagined - which is a testament to the ownership. Sally and her crew worked their tails off from start to finish that weekend and looped us into every decision in a productive manner. They stepped up big time when our wedding coordinator didn't deliver. They made all of our guests comfortable and we all felt like we were home for the weekend, which everyone complimented us on. It was just a pleasure to get to know them as people too, really. Before we even left the venue, we were coming up with reasons to come stay again. Thank you and we will be back!!

Where do I begin? My husband and I debated whether to have a large wedding in downtown LA where we work and live. Most of our family and friends live and work there too, so we wanted to be as accommodating for travel and hotel stays. But as time passed, we realized that's not really what WE wanted. What we wanted was to feel somewhere else, somewhere far away and secluded from the city without actually traveling hours and hours. Rancho Bellasante provided that and more. The ranch is gorgeous and there are plenty of options for ceremony and reception sites. Trust me, it was not an easy decision on where to be married as all sites were gorgeous. We ended up choosing the Agave Grotto for the Ceremony and the Sycamore Terrance for reception. Everyone raved about the views from the Ranch and just how warm and inviting it felt. We got married in October so the trees at the Sycamore terrance were turning colors giving the reception that autumn feel we were hoping for. With such a big day, you'll have so many questions for your coordination. Any concerns we had the venue team was ready to answer and accommodate to their fullest. For such an important day, Rancho Bellasante was the perfect venue to be at and work with!

Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very first planning meeting, the team was incredibly responsive, attentive, and friendly in helping us bring our vision to life. The value they provided was unmatched - the naturally beautiful space required minimal additional decor, and the add-ons like the photo both and cold touch sparklers were very memorable. We felt like no small detail was missed thanks to Ashley, Austin, Aubree, Devin, Ireland, Kylie, Makenna, Mikayla, Austin (our DJ&MC), and DJ (our banquet coordinator). They truly feel like family by the end of it all. We are forever thankful to the entire Galway Downs team for making our wedding day so special and stress-free.

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.

Choosing Flora as our venue was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially had viewed other downtown San Diego locations and just happened to find them and get them on the schedule, and it was absolutely the right decision. Full disclosure up front, they do have a relatively strict contract regarding the rules and regulations of the venue. With that being said, their team was incredibly open and responsive in having conversations about the contract, and personalized it when we identified some very specific circumstances as it related to us. Due to a smaller guest count we were owed money after the wedding, and we received the check in the mail, along with the security deposit, two days after the event had taken place which was a great weight off our shoulders. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The live foliage indoors with the skylights immediately sold us as soon as we entered the building. The floor layout is perfect for small to mid-sized guest counts, with ours seating 80 people perfectly. With the gorgeous tables, chairs, and other décor housed on-site it makes planning rentals and decorations that much easier not needing to deal with outside vendors. The staff could not have been more professional if we had asked. Katherine, Jameson, Erin, and the rest of their team were consistently responsive in the planning and execution of the wedding, constantly providing feedback and information when it was required. We had a handful of elderly/handicapped guests, and Jameson personally went to each and every one of them throughout the night to ensure that if there was anything they needed it would be taken care of. Especially on the day-of the wedding, Jameson was absolutely exceptional along with the bar staff in ensuring that transitions went smoothly and the guests had a great experience. He was always available for a phone call or email, and worked with us directly in problem solving and brainstorming ideas to make our day as special as possible. There have been countless guests who have given us feedback on how great the bar service was, which we could not have been happier with. All-in-all, Flora was an incredible venue to host our special day. We cannot give their team and the location better recommendations for couples looking to have a downtown San Diego wedding.

She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff.

This venue is straight out of Italy! Not only is this space incredibly unique, but the architecture is unlike anything you will see in California. From the Roman columns and fountains, to the hand-crafted gold ceilings, artwork, and millwork, the gorgeous staircases throughout, and massive space. The sheer beauty of this place is unmatched. The opportunities are also endless with how many different rooms and spaces there are within the venue itself. I had the honor of hosting my wedding here and it will forever be such a beautiful memory, due largely to the stunning and unique setting. We had our ceremony outdoors, surrounded by the columns and fountains, and the reception was indoors in the large upstairs ballroom. Both areas flowed perfectly with our theme, and all with incredible ease. I am already thinking of events to host here next! The Palazzo by Khoshbin is truly one of a kind.

Our breathtaking, wedding at The Estate was nothing short of a dream come true. 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.

My dream wedding included walking down the aisle to the man that I loved. Found the dream man, just needed the dream place. My goal was to find a place that had character in itself. The Chapel of Orange was everything that I imagined. I visited a coupled more places, but the Chapel of Orange stayed in my heart. It was the right decision. The Chapel has a magical blend of classical charm and whimsical beauty that created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Melissa was amazing throughout the planning process, and she, Cheryl, and the entire team worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the day unforgettable for us and our guests. I may not be planning another wedding, but if you’re looking for your dream venue, I highly recommend the Chapel of Orange. It truly is a place where my dream came true!

Oakwood Creek Celebrations

Julian, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $6,200

Oakwood Creek was built in the 1930s by WW Wood and his wife Leanora. Wood drove a truck that hauled dairy milk from the outlying ranches into the town of Julian. Later on, Wood would operate B&L Liquor on the main street. The remains of W's garage are still very apparent on the property today, along with his goat shed & stables. We have one of the last intact water towers in the historic district. The property has been preserved to reflect the period in which it was built. This beautiful venue sits atop a picturesque knoll overlooking the historic town of Julian. Sherry Horton, owner of Oakwood Creek Celebrations, offers signature style that everyone—no matter their affair—will find "oh so easy". Growing up in rural Ohio, Sherry brings the style of country that is reminiscent of simpler gracious time, learning from her grandmother Emma Barrett of all things romantically beautiful. Sherry’s work has been featured in Country Living Magazine, Where Women Create, and San Diego Magazine.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Oakwood Creek Celebrations staff were a joy to work with! I am so grateful that the staff customized a great package for our wedding day, with very short notice. Our Officiant Rev Hannah Wilder, performed a beautiful ceremony by the koi pond. The location is gorgeous, and the staff made us feel as if we were family. Every detail of our wedding was beautifully done, making the entire experience amazing and completely stress free. A million thanks to our wedding coordinator Sherry, who went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and even took photos for us, since we didn't have a photographer. Our wedding was better than anything I dreamed of!
