Ethereal Gardens by Trademark Venues 8561 W Lilac Rd • Escondido • CA 92026

Ethereal Gardens in Escondido is all-inclusive, so the big pieces come in one package. You get 11.5 hours of exclusive venue access, Executive Chef-curated catering with full-service staff, and a handcrafted menu with two entrées, two accompaniments, a salad, artisan breads and specialty butters. Tables with full-length white linen, hemlock cross-back chairs, cloth napkins in 38 colors, candelabras and décor, parking, valet, security, wedding planning, a rehearsal and day-of coordination are all included. Extra pieces from the Décor Catalog are rented à la carte.

Yes, Ethereal Gardens hosts both, and you've got five ceremony spots to choose from: the Orchard Barn, the Woodland Grotto under suspended ferns, the Brick and Timber Chapel, Starry Night Meadow (lovely for a ceremony in the round) and the Ethereal Garden Pergola. Receptions happen in the Ethereal Open Air Pavilion, with open sides, herb gardens and meadow views, and the Smoked Cedar Lounge & Bar is there for cocktails.

Catering at Ethereal Gardens comes from Ten Carrot Catering, the exclusive catering partner at all Trademark Venues, so an outside caterer isn't an option. Décor is more flexible: candelabras and décor are included, but you're welcome to bring your own instead, and extra pieces are available from the Décor Catalog.
