Perfect Venue
Absolutely recommend Ethereal and Trademark. Natalia was our coordinator and was the sweetest and got everything we needed done. She was thoughtful, responsive, and thorough. The day of was absolutely perfect, it looked even better than we imagined. Our bridal assistant was so sweet and attentive and Billie was there for us perfectly throughout the day as well. If anything didn't go according to plan or was behind we didn't know because they did such a great job. The food and drinks were incredible and once again, everything was ran sooooo perfectly. The only negatives we have is that is it pricey and we forgot our bathroom baskets and when we picked them up they were completely empty and our guests did not use/take all of it. Overall it is absolutely worth it and we would definitely recommend having your wedding at Ethereal Gardens and huge shoutout again to Natalia - the absolute best coordinator we could ask for! -

I highly highly recommend considering Trademark Venues when looking for a wedding venue. I toured 4 of their gorgeous venues and fell in love with Ethereal Gardens. It was everything that I imagined and more for my wedding. I booked the venue about a year out and worked with Amy Hayashi who was our planner/coordinator that came with the venue. She was so wonderful to work with and made a lot of the process easy and seamless. On the day of she made sure everything we had discussed was set up accordingly, ensured timeline was followed and made sure me and my husband were well taken care of all day.
The trademark staff were also great and very professional.
I can't say enough things about the beautiful venue itself. There are so many options with your ceremony and reception. We had our ceremony under the Woodland Grotto which was what initially drew me to the venue in the first place. It was truly a dream come true. It's been a month and I constantly think of the wedding daily and how I wish I could relive the day. I will let the pictures speak for itself. -

Magical Wedding
We decided to get married here because of the location and the quick response time from the company even though we live in Los Angeles. We fell in love with the gardens and had such a magical wedding and it was all due to our wedding coordinator Marissa. We did not have to do much becuase Marissa handled it perfectly. To have a venue and coordinator who think of all the small things make every dollar worth it. No stress, no mess and a whole lot of incredible memories! -

Ethereal Gardens is absolutely amazing! I'm SO beyond happy that we chose Ethereal Gardens as our venue for our wedding. It was actually the only venue that we toured - but I fell in love right away! I mean the venue is BEAUTIFUL. Flowers and greenery everywhere! There's also a bridal suite, a separate SALON, and a gentlemen's lounge to get ready in - and they were all decorated SOOOOO cute.
When I started my initial search for wedding venues, I did a lot of cost comparisons in terms of what is included in the package and what things you may need to outsource and estimated how much the total cost of the wedding would be and I truly felt that Ethereal was the best option because they offered a killer package! You really get a lot of value for the price. I mean, they offer farm to table food (which was actually really delicious & all our guests commented on that), furniture (e.g. farm tables, cross-back chairs, etc.), a wedding decor catalog (with some decor included in the package price like the lanterns and geometric centerpieces), a coordination team that works with you throughout the process to build your timeline, review design details, and all that, a bridal assistant on the day of your wedding, and so much more! It was really helpful to have everything basically all inclusive. OF course, you still need to secure your DJ, photographer, florist, officiant, & all of that, but they also give you a list of preferred vendors to help with your search!
The staff at Ethereal Gardens was so easy to work with. We had three different coordination meetings throughout the planning process. Our coordinator was always available to answer any questions that we had over email (and trust me, I had a lot of questions). She was just so helpful throughout the whole process, including the day of the wedding. She really kept things moving according to schedule - as well as the other day-of staff. Everyone was really great to work with. They were friendly and really had the logistics down to a tee, which helped ensure that everything went smoothly and that our guests felt welcomed and knew what to expect/where to go - from arrival to the venue to the ceremony area, from the ceremony to cocktail hour, from cocktail hour to the reception, and even with our grand exit! They basically took my vision of what I wanted for our wedding and made it a reality! It couldn't have been more perfect! I highly recommend this venue to anyone that is looking!
One piece of advice for anyone planning is to move quick because they book fast! We booked them early February 2021 and they only had 3 days left in 2021 at that time. With the backlog of weddings, I wouldn't be surprised if they are almost full for anyone wanting to book their wedding in 2022! -

We had our wedding at ethereal gardens after rescheduling three times due to covid and if was absolutely worth the wait!! Since January of 2020, we have been working with trademark staff and have been impressed by everyone. Several months before our November 2022 event, we began working with Marissa McNamera and we absolutely hit the jackpot. She is everything a bride dreams of in a wedding coordinator. She is professional, patient, calm, flexible, and her attention to detail is unparalleled. She thought of things I never would have and communicated thoroughly and frequently throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, Marissa was so calm and collected. She navigated obstacles with our timing and a few guests with ease. She managed our timeline and communicated with vendors to ensure that everything went according to plan. Trademark and ethereal gardens staff executed a perfect event under Marissa’s direction. They managed all of our logistics- vendors, decor, setup, and cleanup seamlessly. We had been living in a newborn fog with our 6 week old baby, and I had 100% confidence that with Marissa leading the way, our wedding would be everything we hoped for. I cannot thank her enough for an unbelievable day!!! -

Ethereal is the most beautiful venue! I got married May 8, and all the flowers were grown in and gorgeous! So many guests complimented the venue and said it was the prettiest location they'd seen. Everything was set up nicely and the staff really knew what they were doing. When my husband and I arrived there were no complications and when we left everything was ready for us to collect. We loved that the venue contained multiple different areas for pictures and ceremony and from the moment my husband and I stepped foot on Ethereal we knew this was our venue. The staff were all amazing and Amy, our coordinator went above an beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We both had people helping us and our bridal party throughout the day so we never wanted for anything. The food was also incredible! Through the pandemic, everyone has been helpful and flexible with our changing dates. The venue is also so inclusive that we didn't need to involve hundreds of vendors. The trademark staff provided a list of DJs that have worked with them previously, so we just needed to find a photographer, hair/make-up, flowers, and desserts. This really cut down on prices since all the small details can add up. We are so incredibly happy with everything Ethereal! -

Amazing, Gorgeous, Luxurious, Friendly Venue!
As a Photographer I see a lot of amazing venues but I have to say Ethereal Gardens is one of a kind! Every nook and cranny of this property is amazing. From the breathtaking ladies' and gentlemen's suites to the gorgeous flower and greenery lined walkways, this place is a bride's (and photographer's) DREAM! Beyond the luxurious setting, the planning is perfection. Every detail is coordinated meticulously and everyone is so friendly. If you are engaged you MUST stop over here. I promise you will be blown away! -

Ethereal Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration! The location provided a variety of locations based on your preference for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was great to have a coordinator (Anne) who asked all the right questions and was there to make sure our big day was a success. Many of our guests raved about what a great spot Ethereal Gardens was. It is truly a hidden gem just north of San Diego and we’re so glad we decided to have our wedding there. Highly recommended for any couple, especially if you’re looking to do an outdoor event and take advantage of the beautiful weather here in Southern California. -

Our first meeting we were blown away with the property and the staff. We fell in love with the beauty and the intimate setting of the venue. It has so many details that feel like you customized it just for your wedding. Once we stepped foot inside their custom bath houses, we knew we would be having our wedding there! Amazing and stunning! The bath houses were such a fun place to get ready with our bridal party and our guest were blown away when they got to use them during the wedding! The twinkle lights made the night feel romantic. The entire staff was absolutely amazing to work with. They were so accommodating and friendly. The process was so easy and almost stress free. They really help keep things on track and make sure to cover everything before your big day. If you are on the search for the perfect venue, you should really consider checking out Ethereal! -
Emily Sent on 09/30/2018Ethereal Open Air Resort is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. We couldn't believe what a fairytale venue we found in this place. The staff was so accommodating, kind, and made our big day more fabulous than we could have ever imagined. Not only were the staff and the venue outstanding, but the food by the caterers was just delicious. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how magical the day was! We loved every moment of being there and wish we could just keep having our day there over and over again!

Abbey Sent on 08/18/2018Ethereal was absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I just got married there 2 weeks ago (August 4, 2018) and we couldn't have been happier!!! This place is just gorgeous and the staff members are truly wonderful. Everything turned out beautiful, we're still getting calls from friends/family telling us how pretty our wedding was. We're from Orange County and looked at several places around home and NOTHING compared to Ethereal!! It's a stunning place and feels magical! Ethereal made my dream wedding come true!!!

We are extremely happy we picked Ethereal Gardens as our wedding venue. The setting is truly idyllic. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the "grotto' where we had our ceremony is the most unique venue we could have imagined. Trademark were great to work with. Angel was our wedding planner and was exceptional leading up to the day and also on the day of in ensuring we didn't need to stress. They provide great catering options which took a huge variable out of the equation for us and the bar packages were great as well. They also have a great preferred vendors list which made the vendor selection process simpler for us. If we could have our wedding again, we wouldnt change a thing about the venue. it was perfect and we highly recommend trademark venues and Ethereal gardens as a venue. -

I couldn’t be happier that we had our wedding at Ethereal Gardens. From the day we went for our first site visit, Haley blew us away with her kindness, love for the property, and immediately felt like a friend.
The venue is stunning and speaks for itself with its beautiful surroundings. There are also so many areas to host your event, which makes it even more charming.
What is also really evident is that because this venue only does events, they really have a smooth operation. From events leading up to your event for food tastings, to extra activities like dance classes, they really have their operation down.
Our coordinator Angel was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He handled everything with such a calm, organized, and kind demeanor. Where he really shined however was on our wedding day. He was so present, probably didn’t even stop to breathe, and gave us full confidence that everything was going to run smoothly.
One thing that I will say is that if you are really picky and have a very particular vision, be clear about that, then be clear about it again, and then check-in again. We were very clear about some of the decor / seating pieces that we did not want during our reception, and somehow every single one of those pieces were out there. From a photo stand point and the aesthetic we were going for, that was a definite miss, and we had definitely discussed that numerous times.
Thanks for helping bring the best day of our life to life.
