We were absolutely amazed by the beauty of MAGC. It was the most perfect day- it was gorgeous and the staff was amazing. My husband and I were very pleased and highly recommend this for your wedding.

Our wedding day went perfectly and was so magical, and that was all thanks to the incredible team at The Orchard. Originally, I was planing out of state, so finding an all-inclusive venue was a necessity. My parents actually did the tour in person for me and through the kindness, helpfulness, and enthusiasm of all the staff, it was easy to say yes to this venue even though I was 1500 miles away. I was booked for over two years before my actual event and every single step of the way, one of the amazing venue coordinators was there to answer any questions or help out. Krystle, Kevin, Anissa, Desarai, & Brandon made the planning process so simple and fun! Having all of the preferred vendors through the venue was incredible as well; almost every single preferred vendor I used through The Orchard, and my experiences with them were just as, if not more, incredible than my experience is with the team at Wedgewood. Will, Brandon Miller, Abbie, Scarlet, and Andrea made our wedding night one I will always remember and cherish. I truly had the best experience from setting up a first tour to the end of our night saying goodbye to everyone, and I highly recommend to anyone who wants their wedding planning to be fun! Thank you guys so much for celebrating with us!!

Having our wedding at Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Safari Park was truly one of the best decisions we could have ever made. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking — the views, atmosphere, and overall experience were unlike anything we had ever seen. It felt so unique, intimate, and unforgettable, and our guests are still talking about how incredible it was. What made the experience even more special was the amazing team behind it all. Delanie was beyond exceptional and took an already stunning venue to the next level. From start to finish, she made everything feel effortless, organized, and stress-free. Her attention to detail, communication, and calm, positive energy allowed us to fully enjoy every second of our wedding day knowing everything was perfectly handled. The staff at the Safari Park were equally phenomenal. Every single person we interacted with was warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. You could truly feel how much pride they take in both the venue and the experience they create for couples. One of the most meaningful parts of choosing this venue was knowing that our wedding was also supporting such an incredible cause. It made the entire experience even more special knowing that our celebration was contributing to wildlife conservation and the care and protection of these amazing animals. If you are considering getting married here, do it. Between the stunning venue, the incredible staff, and Delanie’s outstanding coordination, it honestly felt like a dream from beginning to end.

We hosted our wedding at Wolf Lakes Park and it was fantastic. During our planning process we must have toured over 50 venues. Of all those we chose Wolf Lakes Park -- and it didn't disappoint. The setting, the details, the food, the professionalism, the value -- all were there in spades. The day-of coordinator Rebecca and her team were extremely helpful, arranging our ceremony and coordinating the schedule and vendors. The food was delicious, with thoughtful accommodations for our gluten-free and vegetarian guests (some of our guests said this was the best pasta they'd had). Their list of vendors helped us greatly in the planning process. And on the day there were plenty of staff, including security and servers, to make sure everything went smoothly. The extras -- like the complementary boat rides, were a great add-on for our guests. There were no troubles accommodating the few things we decided to add: a photo booth, some lawn games. The venue itself looked spectacular, with the flowers in full bloom. The open house in April was extremely helpful in making our decisions on food and linens, and all throughout the planning process Janice and her team were responsive and helpful. After having seen many different venues, with varied offerings, we thought the value was hard to beat. We really couldn't have asked for more in a venue, and we would highly recommend it to anyone planning an event in future.

We got married in late July at The Gardens at Heather Farm Park, and it was truly the most perfect day. This venue holds such a special place in our hearts. My husband asked me to be his girlfriend under the gazebo years ago, and later proposed under the same gazebo. Choosing to get married where it all began was a complete no-brainer. We had a ceremony-only wedding, and the gardens were absolutely breathtaking. Every flower was fully bloomed, the grounds were stunning, and the atmosphere felt magical. So many of our guests, especially those visiting from outside Walnut Creek and neighboring cities, could not stop complimenting the venue. Many even took time to wander the gardens and take their own photos because it was just that beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about Cathleen and the entire GHF team. They were incredible to work with and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. The weather was perfect, the venue was perfect, and honestly, everything was perfect. It was truly the best day of my life, and I will forever be grateful that we were able to say I do in such a meaningful and beautiful place.

Patti and her team were super helpful and super responsive. The team was wonderful in answering all our questions before the ceremony and also during the ceremony and reception. The views were spectacular and the staff was very friendly and helpful!

Nestldown is truly the most magical place. Not only is it physically beautiful with the scenery, but there is a real sense of magic in the air that makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. My husband and I toured Nestldown shortly after getting engaged, and didn’t need to tour any other venue after because we knew it was the one. We booked a minimony due to wanting a very intimate ceremony of 20 guests and it was absolutely perfect. We were so lucky to have Diana as our SEM, and she is a rockstar!! Her communication was consistent and she was always friendly and responded to questions quickly. Nestldown knows how to run any event seamlessly, and Diana ensured our day was absolutely perfect and ran smoother than I could have dreamed of! My only concern with a minimony was that it might feel rushed due to a shorter rental timeframe, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. It was the perfect length to have a first look, a 30 minute ceremony, family photos, additional photos of just the bride and groom, and all the special moments such as toasts and a Father of the Bride dance! Our guests and I felt it was a smooth schedule with ample time to socialize and take candid photos in the reception area! No one felt rushed at all and just kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing Diana was! Diana not only made sure our wedding day was perfect and ran smoothly, but she also made our families feel special and cared for! She helped our family members with accessibility issues get to all areas of the wedding events and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. All of the staff at Nestldown were friendly and helpful during our event as well as any time we visited for the planning process. We seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about Nestldown, Diana, and the team. It was the most perfect day and we are so grateful for everyone who helped give us live out our fairytale moment!

The LA Arboretum was undoubtedly the perfect place for our wedding, not just because of its natural beauty, but because of the amazing people behind the scenes who worked to bring our special day to life. Carlos, Ronny, Michael, Nadia, and so many more worked tirelessly for months prior to our wedding putting us so at ease at every step of the way. They were prompt, attentive, and their genuine care and support for us was always evident. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran so smoothly, taking care of almost all rentals and setup matters to perfectly match our vision for the day. They crafted a custom wedding menu for us which all of our guests absolutely raved about (and many have since asked if they can get the recipes). They were consistently so warm and giving, and we could not have been happier. It helps that the Arboretum itself is so stunning at every step, from our ceremony to reception, and for all the myriad photo stops along the way. We highly recommend the Arboretum to any and all, and are eager to walk the gardens again to relive the joy of that day, and to appreciate the immense work that the Arboretum staff did to help realize it.

We reserved Hastings House for our wedding in early November 2024. It was a fantastic event thanks to Linda and her leadership, her marvelous garden, and the ambiance created by her husband Richard and his guitar. We got lucky with a gorgeous sunny day that brought out the best lighting for the garden ceremony and photos. Our family and friends were impressed with the whole experience. Linda helped us right from the start with a recommendation list that included Dave Medal Photography, La Costanera for the reception and Alena Jean for our florals. The few months of preparation and the day of events could not have gone any better and we cannot recommend Linda and her garden enough.
