The listing pictures don’t do Secluded Garden Estate justice. It’s absolutely beautiful in person, especially for an afternoon wedding at golden hour. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the location was several weeks later. Our wedding photos look like they came right out of Lord of the Rings! The venue includes three separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, with convenient electrical access, kitchenette, and guest restrooms. The hosts, Emily and Dennis, were incredibly easy to work with and put us at ease right away. They are knowledgeable without being pushy, and professional without making us feel like we were being sold to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue.

From the moment we booked Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery for our wedding, Alan and Mari provided detailed and timely communication every step of the way. Their gorgeous venue with lush live plants and moody lighting created the perfect moody October atmosphere for our special day. The outdoor patio was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the amazing cocktails and drinks they served were a huge hit with our guests. Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.

I have so many positive things to say not only about Flora, but also about the wonderful people who work there, that I just don't know where to start. My now fiancé and I moved to San Diego a little over two years ago and while exploring our new neighborhood we walked past this somewhat nondescript building with interesting metal gates and lettering in greenery, but we had no clue what the building was for. Being curious, I immediately went home and did some research and what I found can only be described as a hidden gem. Inside the building is a room full of beautiful greenery, a live tree, and the best bathroom wallpaper I've ever seen. Safe to say I was obsessed; however, I was not engaged yet so I tried to play it cool. Fast forward a few months and a ring later, we went to see Flora in person and it was everything I imagined and more (custom lighting options I didn't even know I needed until I saw them). It was the only venue we toured and we haven't looked back. Beyond the beautiful space are all the beautiful people who are part of the Flora team. Everyone we have met with at Flora has been kind, encouraging, and excited to be a part of our big day. We have been fortunate enough to work with them even more closely than originally planned. Part of the Flora venue contract requires each couple to have a day of coordinator which was fine with us (we need all the help we can get). While couples have the option of bringing in an outside coordinator, Flora does offer full and month of coordination services through the venue. Considering my fiancé and I both work in industries that leave us incredibly busy for large chunks of the year, I was immediately interested in a full service coordinator and who better to do it than someone already familiar with our chosen venue. My fiancé was not as easily convinced and was not sure we would get huge value out of paying for full service coordination versus a day of coordinator. However, he was eventually convinced and we chose to do the full service coordination through Flora. Enter Elena who has been nothing short of a saving grace. Not only is she incredibly sweet, but she has worked so hard answering all the questions we have had, updating floor plans for us, creating short lists of vendors to choose from, working with vendors to create quotes that matched our vision at different price points, and so many other things behind the scenes I'm sure I can't even begin to articulate. Working with Elena has even convinced my dubious fiancé full service coordination is so worth it! While I don't think there is another space in San Diego that can check as many boxes as Flora can, there is one item I do want to note about the space to couples who are planning weddings with a larger guest count. In the initial stages of our planning we had anticipated inviting around 150 guests for both the ceremony and reception. While Flora can definitely comfortably accommodate that many guests, in the process of discussing our floor plan options with Elena we realized in order to best utilize some of the wonderful and unique features in Flora's space, notably the moving partitions, a guest count closer to 130 would be a better fit. To us it is worth having a few less guests in order to use some of the features that made us fall in love with the venue! This turned into a much longer narrative than intended, but I hope this helps someone in the planning process. If you choose Flora I'm sure you won't regret it.

This venue was one of TWO venues that fiancee and I even considered. Not only are they an affordable event space, their staff is just absolutely incredible. They space itself is PERFECT for those who want a lower light, romantic setting with a rustic feel. Wine barrels galore! And the open floor plan really helps with making the space your own for a little bit. It was really easy to map out everything you needed for the day. The BEST part was this venue has indoor/outdoor space. Perfect for those who want to stay warm, while also perfect for those who needed to get some fresh air. This is a major selling point if you plan on getting married in SD since this venue is close to the water. Personable hosts, very professional. They offered glasses of wine to us every time we did a site visit. Extremely communicative and flexible to work with your schedule if need be. Marlene was our wedding coordinator and she really did everything she could to make our day so special. She knows what it's like when they say, "Treat your guests like family"... She made you feel right at home! She will do everything within her power to make you feel at ease. There was not one time I felt concerned. Our bartender, Bryan, was the SWEETEST! He would make your drink and just talk with you like he knew you already. Our guests absolutely loved him. Even if you're not planning a wedding, I would recommend this spot to friends and family for other types of events, for sure. Such a classy establishment with the FRIENDLIEST people.

Whether you are hosting an intimate wedding or a grand event for two hundred guests, Milagro is the perfect outdoor venue in San Diego.

With exclusive and unique spaces, such as a granite Wine Cave, Old Crush House, and private stone patio, plus sweeping views of magnificent vineyards and meadows, Milagro provides a spectacular backdrop for your special event!

We got married at Milagro back in 2017 after I stumbled across their photo on Pinterest. Originally when I saw the picture of the beautiful Villa like structure I thought it couldn’t be in California and when I saw that it was and was only an hour or so from us I knew I wanted our wedding there. It gets even better, this amazing place is a winery! Double score! We schedule a walk through and wine tasting and booked the venue maybe 30 minutes after we were done. Melissa was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was so responsive and helpful that it was such a breeze when it came time to the big day! If you want to get married at a beautiful winery with delicious wine, Milagro is your venue! I can’t wait to go back and visit the tasting room soon!

I am not going to lie, there were a few times we were very nervous about booking with Trademark Venues at Green Gable. Our coordinator changed very early in the process, and we weren’t informed why. We did the food tasting and we were so disappointed with everything we tried. We then spoke to someone higher up who helped us customize our menu without getting extra costs. Day of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. Gina was a god send, paying attention to every detail. She handled everything and made sure the day was stress free for us. So many guests told us how delicious the food was, so we were thrilled as that was what we were most nervous about. And I can confirm that the cupcakes were sooooo good! Seriously could not be happier. Gina was amazing and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking Green Gables!!
