Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood Weddings

Oh my goodness, where do I start! To start, Tabitha, my day of coordinator, was AMAZING. So patient and kind with my hectic group and kept us on track the entire rehearsal and day. She is so talented at her job and knew how to keep cool when our mariachi band, Mariachi Estrella De America, no-showed us. Brittany, the manager of the windmill, came to my rescue when me and all my bridesmaids stepped out of th ebridal suite to take photos and we all forgot our key to get back in! I called at like 3pm right before first look telling her over the phone that we locked ourselves out of the bridal suite and immediately, she hung up and rushed over (yes we her you running across the garden gazebo and loved her so much for that!) she then helped us into the bridal suite so we all could rest our feet for a pic before the pictures with the boys started AND went out of her way to get us additional key cards so that didn’t happen again. That was one of the core memories of my day for me because how did not one of us have the key card on us?? They were all in our bags that Tabitha so kindly transported up to the groom's suite for us as me and all my bridesmaids had dress changes for a dance performance. Mik, our DJ, along with Tabitha so quickly and quietly put out the fire that came with our mariachi band no-showing by having Mik play mariachi music during cocktail hour! It was funny because during cocktail hour, I was joking that I could hear mariachi, but I couldn’t see mariachi! Amazing save by Tabitha and Mik. Mik was such a good MC and kept my vibes up high all night. I loved their service! The True Photography team that was mainly with me, Pauleen and Dustin, were also such a joy to work with. The other photographer, Jenn, worked so well with the boys and got some of the sickest shots! They said she gave great direction. I really appreciated how prompt the TP team was! Showed up early with GREAT vibes which is so essential to me. Kept vibes up all evening. Pauleen asked for my permission if Dustin could come into the bridal suite and I thought that was insanely sweet of her. They were soooo fun to work with and just told me what to do! Brain off, serve ON. I‘ve already received the photos a FEW DAYS LATER and am BLOWN AWAY. Now, to miss Kelly girl!!!! She is the most accommodating badass banquet captain that I am so thankful I was in her care for my wedding. I knew she was gonna kill it when she suggested the buffet/floor plan change for a bigger dance floor!! Her foresight was amazing and she was like my shining star on my hectic night. I asked her for lukewarm water or hot water at the sweetheart table because my old asian ancestry was calling for some easy to chug water! Kelly came through immediately with a room temp water bottle and changed our carafe to room temp water. It was a dream. On the biggest night of my life when I know I need to eat to prepare for my friends’ influence at the open bar, Kelly kept the great service coming!! I love her. Wedgewood Windmill, hats off to your staff that consists of killer wait staff who made all my guests feel so well taken care of! Also, a few of my guests mentioned praise for the young man at the carver station, who said he was all good vibes. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Brittany, Tabitha, Kelly, Mik, Pauleen, Dustin, Jenn and carving station man!!! Best day ever! We did have a small hiccup with the bartender service and Brittany handled it right away!

Our wedding was so magical they really made our dreams come true. They were so helpful with having everything in a package. The venue was a beautiful place had so many services from the start and all way to the wedding day. Always responding to emails quickly and being detailed with what to come on the day of the wedding. Tabatha was our coordinator the day of the wedding and the rehearsal night. She was so amazing and super helpful with both days and very sweet person as well. We have some photos from the wedding and how they made our vision come true.

Wedgewood weddings- specifically the Windmill in Carlsbad, Ca has the best team of coordinators and vendors! We especially loved Kristiana and Tabitha who saved our day after a wardrobe malfuction!!

We had the most incredible wedding at this venue. Not only did the wedding go exactly as we can, but we felt so taken care of by Wedgewood. Tabitha, our coordinator, was incredible. If we could redo our wedding, we would not change a thing. Thank you Tabitha and everyone at Wedgewood!

I could not recommend Wedgewood Carlsbad Windmill more highly. For half of what we would be paying at any other venue, I feel that we received top-notch service, aesthetics that matched who we are as a couple, thoughtful coordination, and worry-free execution. Our coordinator, Brianna, went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. We loved our DJ, Noah (with DJ Maestro), who was coordinated through the venue. It was a seamless experience that I genuinely feel saved us a ton of money and gave us MORE value than a traditional venue.

Brianna, Corina, Katey & Sammy were amazing! Me & my now, husband were so thankful for all of the amazing support provided by them and all the Wedgewood team. Since the beginning of our adventure in finding a venue, we knew it would be the perfect place! It was the first place we visited, and four venue hunts later, it was the one we chose! First of all, the team is so kind and helpful. Second, the bridal suite is amazing and so many other venues lacked this option. Also, the hotel being next to it is a plus as well as being able to get a group discount for our wedding party. There was a surplus of benefits found with Wedgewood and we did not regret our choice one bit. Then the day of our wedding, there were no errors. Everything went perfect!!! People were in awe of how organized everything was & how beautiful. My husband and I truly couldn't have pictured a better wedding venue & if I could do it all again I'd always choose Wedgewood! Also - their banquet team is great! Their vendors are amazing and the food is delicious!

We can't thank the team at The Windmill enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the moment we began planning, every interaction with the team at The Windmill was filled with genuine care and excitement for our special day. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond truly set them apart.

A special shoutout to Sammy and Katey, who were our wedding coordinators. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our decor was flawlessly arranged, paying meticulous attention to every detail. Their dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Kelly, our banquet captain, was exceptional. She went above and beyond to ensure that my wife and I had everything we needed throughout the night, checking on us regularly and ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. Our bartender Julie, was so sweet and attentive! And the drinks were delicious.

Every meeting, every phone call, and every interaction with the team at The Windmill was filled with warmth and professionalism. They truly exceeded our expectations in every way possible.

Thank you, Sammy, Katey, Kelly, Corina, Brianna and everyone at The Windmill, for making our wedding day so perfect. We are incredibly grateful for everything you did to make our day unforgettable.

Our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill was our dream day!! The Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood team made our entire wedding planning process so enjoyable and simple. Every interaction with the planning team we were greeted with helpful (and prompt) answers to any of our questions. We loved Wedgewood because we were given the skeleton of the planning process and then we could add as little or as much as we wanted to make the day feel more special and unique to us. We had a lot of flexibility with adding anything extra we wanted. When we had a little hiccup with one of our outside vendors on the day of the wedding, our coordinator and assistant remained calm and helped take care of any issues. Our coordinator Brianna, was amazing and so helpful since the first day we met her. She remembered all of the little details we told we wanted to include in our wedding day, and she made our wedding decor and set up look just as we had dreamed. Specific to the Windmill venue itself, the location is 10/10! We had our rehearsal on at a local restaurant. For the wedding day, the bridal suite is provided at the attached Carlsbad by the Sea hotel, grooms suite is inside the Windmill venue, the ceremony space and reception space are in the same building inside the Windmill. We did our First Look at the Carlsbad Bluffs overlooking the ocean (3 minute drive from venue). And we even had an after party 12am-2am at the downstairs bar at the Windmill Food Hall. Can’t forget to mention the beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields directly across the street! Everything was close by and convenient for all of our guests. The Windmill itself is a beautiful and unique venue. The ceremony space is breathtakingly beautiful (I cried the first time I saw it). Overall I can not say enough good things about The Carlsbad Windmill venue and their team. So happy we got married there!

Working with the Wedgewood team was AMAZING. They took care of so much of the wedding planning details and the hassle that my fiancé and I were able to enjoy some of the DIY stuff that we probably wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. They have different packages and add ons you can do, but generally they include centerpieces, florals, a wedding planner, day of coordinator, a DJ, officiant services, liability insurance, setup/cleanup and the wedding cake too. The add ons and some upgrades (I.e. out of season flowers, specialty cake flavors) will be at an added cost, but the cost of our wedding in total even with the upgrades we got was still way more affordable than any other wedding venue options we found. And the venue at Carlsbad was GORGEOUS.

The entire team was amazing, and Brianna ended up being our day of coordinator! She was so sweet, personable and professional. Even when she wasn’t available the rest of the team were always super responsive and communicative. We had the best wedding ever and it was truly thanks to them. Their contracted vendors were amazing too, we loved G our DJ and Tara our florist - both were so sweet, considerate, efficient and did absolutely amazing jobs in making our vision for our wedding happen. They all did. Thank you gals at Wedgewood we love you!!!!

My husband and I had an absolute pleasure working with Carina, Sammy, Janae (our coordinator), Lee J (banquet captain), security guard, and Brianna! They were such an absolute pleasure working with from start to finish - from walking us through extras and certain enhancements we can remove to finishing the final touches to a beautiful weekend.
I absolutely loved that they had some vendors recommended. Although some of them were pricy, they were super understanding and guided us when we had any questions with their vendors. We ended up working with their cake vendor (Cute Cakes), did their rehearsal dinner recommendation (Green Dragon Tavern), officiant (Kimi), flowers (Moments in Bloom), Dj (Shayn/DJ Maestro) and their catering.
I absolutely loved their officiant Kimi, Dj Shayn, and florist Dede. They were so easy to work with. Kimi added very subtle details that my husband did and acknowledged the crowd. Got so many reviews!
Hotel next door was okay but a little outdated. Most of our friends stayed there but we recommended our family members and friends to do the Cape Rey Hotel, which was gorgeous and only 7 mins away from the venue.
The venue is next to a food hall but honestly, there were no confusion from our guests as there were signs of where the ceremony is held at - which was gorgeous, and where the reception would be held after. Our favorite part of the venue was the ceremony as it gave a "barn-like" feel we wanted with cocktail hours set up right next to it. I would recommend the wedding party/groom/bride to enter from the glass entrance. That gave a little more dramatic look. The reception is held right above and is accessible through stairs or an elevator. The reception is pretty big and can fit up to about 150, but we ended up doing 94, which was a lot more comfortable. Curious to have seen how 150 would have looked LOL!
I liked that Janae and Lee J (banquet captain) worked together and prepped the ramen bar and tater tot stations. Bar service was great-they looked out for the groom and bride and made sure we had mix drinks and shots where needed. Photo Booth was great too! I would recommend that they have someone standing there if needed to help with fixing the light. Around 1 hour before our reception ended, the light turned blue, but other than that, it was great!
Overall, the team was phenomenal and the venue was exactly what we wished for. Janae helped so much during the day of to guide us and family throughout the day to make sure we knew where to go. If you are in the bridal suite (Where we had our tea ceremony), you can get to ride on their golf cart to the reception! The groom's room is at the hospitality suite next to the reception on the second floor of the venue. Brianna, Corina, and Sammy answered all my questions in a timely manner and made sure to include all the little details!
Thank you for making our night and day magical!!
