Botanica by Trademark Venues 190 Wilshire Road • Oceanside • CA 92057

Botanica by Trademark Venues in Oceanside takes an all-inclusive approach, so most of the big pieces come with every wedding package. You get 11.5 hours of exclusive venue access, the Bougainvillea Cottage and the Cabana for getting ready, guest tables with floor-length white linens, ceremony seating, your pick of 38 cloth napkin colors, candelabras and centerpieces, and parking, valet and security. Food is handled too: an Executive Chef menu with two entrées and two accompaniments, full catering staff and a refreshment bar with lemonade, iced water, coffee and tea. Wedding planning, rehearsal and day-of coordination are included. Plan separately for your photographer, florist, officiant and DJ, your alcohol plus a $1,450 bar service fee for beer, wine and champagne, extra pieces from the décor catalog, specialty meals for vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free guests at $35 each, vendor meals at $25 each, and a $1 million event insurance policy.

Yes, both happen right in the garden at Botanica by Trademark Venues. Your ceremony sites include The Cove, a waterside spot framed by native plants and a bent-wood landmark tree, and the Tropical Forest, under a fig-tree canopy on the bank of a spring-fed seasonal pond, where you can use the in-house arch or bring your own backdrop or chuppah. Afterward, guests head to the reception lawn for an al fresco dinner under market lights and draped fabric. Our profile lists seating for up to 200 guests.

Catering at Botanica by Trademark Venues is in-house, led by the Executive Chef, but you provide your own alcohol for the Elements outdoor bar. Trademark's bar service for your own beer, wine and champagne is $1,450 and runs up to 4.5 consecutive hours, and you can add up to three hard liquors for a full bar service fee. Your DJ must come from Trademark's Preferred Vendor List. Your photographer, florist and officiant are your choice, and vendors sign a standard hold-harmless agreement before the event or on arrival.

Every wedding package at Botanica by Trademark Venues includes 11.5 hours of exclusive venue access.
