Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set within a historic garden estate in San Marcos, this enchanting outdoor venue sits among dreamy, storybook landscapes: a lush landmark forest, ivy-covered arbors, blooming rose gardens, trickling fountains and stone statuary, and thousands of twinkle lights. Your day begins in the gorgeous Bridal Parlor, a grand, multi-story space with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the plush Gentleman's Speakeasy, complete with a hidden door that leads to an intimate lounge with a sleek wooden bar.
- An ancient bent-wood tree draped in glimmering lights is the centerpiece for ceremonies in the Natural Forest, while the Open-Air setting invites you to create your own unique backdrop with an in-house arch, a custom chuppah, or your own décor. Or, vintage lovers can say "I do" on the steps of the Historic Home, with their final vows accented by a ringing bell in the tower above! Receptions follow beneath the soft, billowing chiffon that adorns the romantic Heart of the Garden reception site, surrounded by designer gardens, old-growth forest, and picturesque fountains.
- Trademark Venues' all-inclusive approach provides a truly seamless experience, bringing together the romance of a private estate with the warm hospitality of a full-service venue. They'll work with you every step of the way, from crafting your perfect menu alongside the Executive Chef to selecting from an extensive collection of in-house décor and furnishings (and an even more extensive rental catalog) to thoughtful day-of coordination and planning.
