Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens 

5.0

  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $14,000

Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens is a private Estate that has been hosting weddings for 40 years! Hidden in north San Diego, Grand Tradition has two amazing venues to choose from including 7 waterfalls and endless lush gardens.

Me and my husband recently got married here at the Beverly Mansion. It was truly the perfect day! VENUE: Of course, Grand Tradition is absolutely beautiful (it is what we were initially drawn to). Their landscape is always luscious and VERY well-kept. Gorgeous bright green lawns and colorful flowers. You hardly even need any ceremony décor. This venue is pretty enough on its own. COORDINATION: We had a coordinator swap midway through planning, and ended up with Lisa. She was EXTRAORDINARY! She made the whole entire process such a breeze and easily answered any questions/concerns we had. Lisa was professional, organized and extremely friendly. We loved getting to work with her. She worked her butt off during the entire process, and it showed on our wedding day. Everything ran SO smooth. Lisa made sure to keep us on schedule and handled all the vendors, everything went without a hitch. STAFF: The entire Grand Tradition staff we had on our wedding day exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived I almost felt like a celebrity. We were treated with smiles, enthusiasm and care. The whole team was professional and really knew how to put on a wedding. I had two bridal assistants, Mackenna and Kaitlyn, who were absolute angels. You both really made me feel at ease with our little chats. You were constantly checking in on me, fixing my dress, holding my drinks, getting me food and doing anything I needed throughout the entire day. FOOD: You never really know what you are going to get with wedding food, but I think Grand Tradition has some of the best. That had SO many options when picking out what we wanted on our buffet, it made it easy to accommodate all different tastes. Our guests are still telling us how amazing their food was. Everything was truly delicious! Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone. If you want a fairytale, stress-free and perfect wedding, this is the place to go!

El Adobe De Capistrano 
San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • 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.

Fish Tank Capo 

5.0

Capistrano Beach, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,000

The Fish Tank was previously a warehouse used for storing products (big things) for our business. But now it's now been re-purposed as a space where people can come together for Community, Creativity, and Collaboration. A unique venue for art, music, meetings, events, studio space, recording, video...anything that fits with our mission of community, creativity and collaboration. Modern décor and art all around the walls give a cool vibe to this event space. Five short-throw projectors are available for video, presentations, visual effects, etc. Our Sonos sound system can be used to play your own music with surround sound. The full immersive experience with visuals and audio is truly amazing!

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!!

  • Up to 415 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The museum is here for your enjoyment and to share its positive vibes with you! The Gray Matter Museum of Art supports local artists, and provides a free thinking seaside space for growth and productivity.

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at Laguna Village, and we can’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Dayna was an absolute superstar throughout the entire wedding preparation process. Her calm, detailed, and organized approach ensured that every little detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day. On the wedding day, Dayna was a true professional, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. I can’t say enough good things about her and her ability to help create such a magical day! The food and bar service were nothing short of spectacular. A special shout-out goes to Andrew at The Cliff restaurant, who was fantastic during our food tasting and on the big day. He made sure the service was impeccable and that everything ran smoothly. His professionalism and kindness really stood out. Our DJ, Gus, had the entire crowd dancing all night long, creating an incredible atmosphere for everyone to have an amazing time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Laguna Village, and The Cliff for anyone looking to have the perfect wedding day!

My husband and I recently were married at Wedgewood San Clemente and it could not have been better. Tito gave our initial tour and was our coordinator every step of the way. He was so helpful from the rehearsal to the reception. Brianna did so amazing at the end of the night helping to coordinate all the cleaning up and taking down of decorations. Partnering with Sean through DJ Maestro was amazing and he did a great job accommodating all our requests. I would recommend this venue to any couple who is like us and feels way over their head in planning and balancing all the elements that go into planning a wedding.

We really enjoyed working with Wedgegood for our wedding! They made everything really easy and were really communicative throughout the process. The package we got came with most items - we decided to go with our own photographer instead of the one they recommended. We also got a videographer, a dance floor, and backdrop. Other than that the price we paid included the venue, food, DJ, all the set up and clean up (tables chairs, etc.), cake and table florals. (I did need to purchase my own bridal and bridesmaid florals). Mostly everything went as planned and everyone had a fun time! It was a beautiful venue and everyone really appreciated being able to go sit outdoors to have a drink.

The Spanish motif, romantic fountain terrace, and sweeping panoramic views of the golf course make Tijeras Creek the best-kept secret in Orange County. Our facility accommodates weddings up to 250 with our indoor/outdoor facility providing a variety of reception layouts, including both indoor and outdoor dance floors, accessibility to the bar from both the patio and inside. Our patio features large sun shades, built-in fire pit with seating and Edison string lights that create an amazing ambiance.

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!!!
