The Secret Garden At Rancho Santa Fe 

5.0

Rancho Santa Fe, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

A uniquely private wedding venue in quaint Rancho Santa Fe, California. The Secret Garden at Rancho Santa Fe is currently reserving into 2025 with just one wedding per day. The grounds offer a natural background of gardens and lush greenery, with the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. As a bonus, they are a short drive away from stunning California beaches and can accommodate requests for off-site ceremonies, including a beach cliff wedding ceremony.

Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect. If you're envisioning a fairytale garden wedding like I was, choose this venue!

We were looking at venues for a few months before we found FruitCraft. We didn't really know what to expect but once we toured we fell in love! We knew we were in good hands when Alan the sales person tried to save us money on services they offered. FruitCraft went above and beyond for us. We were originally only going to have a reception but when we found out our ceremony site wasn't going to be available, Alan helped us with booking their outdoor space for our ceremony. We didn't even realize how stressful it would've been to have a ceremony and reception in separate places but on the day of, we were super appreciative that this was able to happen. They truly exceeded our expectations. On the big day, the staff took excellent care of us and our guests. Food and beverages were simply the best. Our guests raved about the drinks! We're so grateful for the unforgettable experience and we can't wait to go back and relive our moments in the place where we said our "I do's”

I also had a breeze planning my wedding with them! The wedding planner(Jennifer), dj(Shane), catering, photography/videography was all included in the all inclusive price!

We were thrilled to host our wedding ceremony and reception at Mission Trails Regional Park with the help of their wonderful Foundation staff. When our original venue unexpectedly canceled, the team at MTRP Foundation jumped in to rescue our date just 6 weeks out. Their communication was clear, helpful and personable every step of the way as we re-planned everything. The park offers stunning views and a gorgeous, natural blank slate for hosting events. We worked closely with the staff on logistics like optimal speaker and processional setup to take advantage of the beautiful landscapes surrounding us. Our guests raved about the views and scenery. We highly recommend Mission Trails for couples seeking a picturesque, affordable and accommodating outdoor venue in San Diego.

Definitely, recommended if you’re on a tight budget. Our wedding theme was Simple Elegant. We’re both minimalist. We drive down from AZ, great thing we managed to pack light for the decor etc., our friends helped too. Hands down! Working with Keli for 9 months has been rewarding. She is great a communicator, a team player, attentive to details, visionary, flexible and supportive. She is not a typical salesman. You will not burnt out your wallet with this venue. No hidden fees. This don’t happen all the time, surprisingly, we paid less than what we originally budgeted for. That alone is a blessing! On the wedding day, her team was so kind to working with us during the ceremony, we were 30 mins delay and had to push back the lunch schedule as well. We did not get extra charged. They took care of my high anxiety with their patience. The food was 100% amazing. Great choice ordering the lemon chicken and beef brisket buffet style. Our wedding guests could not stop talking about the delicious meal. The space was indeed what we asked for any sizes of 50-300 guests. We had 120 guests attended on a Saturday afternoon (paid for 150 people), there were still plenty of space inside and available seatings. The outside was stunning. People love the Mountain View background and greenery golf grass. I enjoy the easy access to the parking lot and clubhouse. We brought our own desserts which saved us a ton of money. They provided microphones, iPhone adapter for our iPhone Spotify playlist songs, a podium, refrigerator, table cloths, easel, and extra outside set up tables all for free of charged. I can go on and on! Bottom line I don’t have bad news to say about this venue. Give her a call, be up front what you’re looking for, she’ll work with your budget.
