    Stunning Green Spaces

    Anna, our coordinator, was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our day special. The staff also went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. What really got us to book was their stunning green spaces! The indoor and outdoor areas were beautifully designed with vibrant plants, adding such a fresh and elegant touch to our day. We really didn't have to do much because the space was already so beautiful as is. If you're searching for a venue with top-notch service, friendly staff, and gorgeous green spaces, FruitCraft is definitely the place to choose. We can't wait to visit for our anniversary!

    Love this Vegan-friendly venue!

    My partner and I wanted a wedding where we could be truly ourselves and FruitCraft helped us do just that! We wanted a very natural look - which was perfect with the plants and gorgeous farm tables- with quality drinks and great food. Anna and Alan helped us create an all vegan menu with their staff. They were so open and understanding that we wanted something vegan but still delicious for our guests. The vegan food options were fantastic, offering a delicious variety that pleased all our guests. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. If you're looking for a venue with gorgeous natural space, delicious vegan food and outstanding drinks, FruitCraft is the perfect choice- thank you to all the staff who made our day soooo special!

    Unique Venue and Best Cocktails!

    We really wanted to find a venue that was unique and had really good cocktails. Our family & friends love going to distilleries and wineries so we wanted to wow them but still find something that was us. We loved the gorgeous plants and just the general feel of the space, it made us feel so welcomed! The bar at FruitCraft had a great range of wines and cocktails made from different fruits, which gave our guests lots to talk about and kept them on the dance floor all night. Our guests loved the tasty and refreshing drinks, which were a big hit all night. The venue's focus on quality and trying new things was clear in their drink choices. If you want a wedding with amazing and memorable drinks, FruitCraft is a great pick. I totally recommend it!

    Picture-Perfect Venue

    When we saw Fruitcraft's Get Ready Room with its Instagrammable walls, we were sold! The colorful and fun walls added a unique touch to the venue, making it perfect for capturing beautiful photos. Fruitcraft's attention to detail in creating such a vibrant and inviting space made our wedding day even more memorable. Choosing Fruitcraft was an easy decision, and we're thrilled with how everything turned out!

    Unforgettable Wedding Celebration

    My husband and I are members at FruitCraft we were really interested in what FruitCraft could offer for our wedding. We knew we wanted our guests to experience our favorite place for our special day!

    We're so grateful to FruitCraft for helping us create such an awesome day. Having good food and wine while celebrating our marriage was a day we'll always remember. We're excited to go back and have some more of their cranberry wine, which is my favorite by the way. Thank you again, FruitCraft!

    A modern dream venue!

    For our wedding, we were looking for a place that portrayed both of our personalities and styles. When we first walked into FruitCraft, it was like, Yep, this is it! The food went above and beyond our expectations. We wanted something delicious and casual that all of our guests would enjoy, and the taco bar was a smash hit. The menu options were exactly what we were looking for, giving us the chance to add a personal touch to our special day. They not only got our vision but elevated it beyond what we thought was possible, making our day unforgettable but still within the budget. Our wedding day was pure magic, and we can't thank Anna and the team enough for making it so relaxed and unforgettable!

    Loved FruitCraft!

    We chose FruitCraft because their catering team went above and beyond for us! There were a few Indian dishes that my family wanted, and they were able to deliver on it! This was not on the menu, but they truly accommodated us. Their efforts to include these dishes added such a personalized touch to our celebration. We knew if they could deliver on something like this, they would be able to give us the wedding we wanted.

    Their team was on top of everything the day of. We truly felt like we didn't have to worry about anything. From the DJ, florals, cake etc everything came together so well! Our guests kept complimenting the food, venue and drinks.

    We honestly can't imagine having had our big day anywhere else!

    They were great!

    For our wedding, we were looking for a unique venue that could fit our 115 guests and bring our dream vision to life, and FruitCraft nailed it! What really drew us in was the space. The plants are gorgeous and all the details/vendors made it so easy to select decor. This was a huge help for us because we didn’t want to be stuck planning lots of little details leading up to our wedding.
    We also included their bridal suite in our plan, and it was one of the best decisions. Getting ready with my bridesmaids was a blast, and the minimalist-chic decor set the mood for some memorable pre-wedding shots with my mom and sisters. What really relieved our stress was the assistance we got from start to finish. Having onsite food and drinks took a load off our planning stress.
    FruitCraft's team took it to a whole new level for us. So, a massive thank you to FruitCraft for making our wedding dreams a reality!

    FruitCraft made our day beyond memorable

    The stress-free, beautiful vibes, combined with their exceptional service, made our wedding an absolute dream.
    We found this venue on instagram and fell in love with all the greenery. When we saw it in person it was even better! The gorgeous farm tables won us over and the overall vibe is so down to earth and modern.
    We are also big cocktail fans and were impressed with their bar selections, their mule kept us on the dance floor all night. For our wedding they had cocktails but also ciders, seltzers and wines. They even special ordered my dad’s favorite craft beer which meant so much to me. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our wedding!
    We LOVED our wedding at FruitCraft - a huge shoutout to all the staff that accommodate all of our plans, we cant wait to visit on our anniversary

    Absolutely loved our wedding experience here!

    Our day at FruitCraft was everything we could've hoped for and more! Stepping into the venue felt like walking into a cozy yet stylish dream. The industrial chic vibe with those distillation tanks set the scene perfectly for our celebration. The staff were so chill and welcoming, making sure everything flowed effortlessly. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about the amazing craft cocktails and the delicious food. It was just such a genuine, relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home while still feeling incredibly special. If you're after a laid-back yet unforgettable experience for your special day, FruitCraft is the place to be. Massive thanks to everyone at FruitCraft for making our celebration so authentic and memorable!”We ended up selecting the taco bar because we wanted to treat our out of town guests to a taste of San Diego. The drinks are also so good! It was so nice for our guests to try the different options all night. A genuine thank you to the staff who made our wedding so special!

    Exceptional!

    Justin and I chose FruitCraft because it meant alot to us to have our wedding in Hillcrest and they accommodated us, our family and guests every step of the way. They made us feel so welcomed! After waiting 10+ years to have our wedding I can genuinely say we had the wedding of our dreams! We wanted everything to be about our love, friends and family and FruitCraft delivered.

    We truly loved all the details that FruitCraft put in place for the venue! Everything from the farm tables, plant greenery around the venue and the market lights just made us feel like it was the perfect wedding for us. I had a lot of DIY ideas for decor which their coordinator assisted us in figuring out the best way to place it for the wedding! This was a big help for me because I’ve never had a wedding before so it was a big help to have support. My guests could not stop talking about the food and custom drinks too!

    Overall, FruitCraft exceeded all my expectations, and I’m grateful for the unforgettable memories created on our special day :)

    Simply Exceptional

    I had my wedding hosted by FruitCraft, and it was truly perfect. The venue’s lush green areas gave a stunning background for our ceremony and reception, and the spacious get ready room made our preparation a breeze.

    Amazing experience!

    We were looking at venues for a few months before we found FruitCraft. We didn't really know what to expect but once we toured we fell in love! We knew we were in good hands when Alan the sales person tried to save us money on services they offered. FruitCraft went above and beyond for us. We were originally only going to have a reception but when we found out our ceremony site wasn't going to be available, Alan helped us with booking their outdoor space for our ceremony. We didn't even realize how stressful it would've been to have a ceremony and reception in separate places but on the day of, we were super appreciative that this was able to happen. They truly exceeded our expectations. On the big day, the staff took excellent care of us and our guests. Food and beverages were simply the best. Our guests raved about the drinks! We're so grateful for the unforgettable experience and we can't wait to go back and relive our moments in the place where we said our "I do's”

    Flexible with our needs!

    We loved everything about FruitCraft! The venue was beautiful and the staff took such great care of us. We are vegans and live a pretty healthy lifestyle and wanted that same experience for our guests on our wedding day. and wanted an all vegan wedding which during the booking process they assured us it was going to be possible. They created a custom vegan menu for us based on our favorites - ceviche, pastas and delicious vegan dessert bar! They were so flexible with us which really made us trust them to create the best day for us.

    A great wedding spot in San Diego!

    We booked FruitCraft before even seeing the venue 2 years before our wedding. We live in New York but grew up in San Diego and knew we wanted to celebrate there. We knew we wanted a space that was relaxed for all of our guests. We loved all the greenery and just the overall vibe of the space. Alan was so helpful in answering our questions, which we had ALOT since we were planning from another state. When we finally saw the venue it was even better than the photos! Day of their staff took such great care of us and our guests. We chose the Mediterranean chicken skewers for our dinner and of course had to do the full bar package. The drinks were an experience for our guests and everyone kept telling us how good everything was! We can't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. Cant wait to visit in the future

    Fell In Love With FruitCraft

    This place was the hidden gem of our dreams! We weren't sure what to expect because we were planning our wedding from Colorado way before we moved to San Diego and were only going off of their website and the knot. We did a virtual tour with Alan and even through that we knew this was the venue for us.

    We toured the space a few months after when we were in town and we were so happy we booked FruitCraft! The major things that won us over was how beautiful the space was, friendly staff, good food and drinks at the tour and prompt responses from Alan. We are HUGE cocktail fans and fell in love with their unique cocktails especially the old fashioned and mule. As a distillery, FruitCraft makes their own cocktails/drinks which was such a fun addition to our day. Our family and friends are still raving about the drinks after the wedding! We wanted a place that we could just show up and enjoy the day and FruitCraft did just that for us! Their staff took care of everything and we couldn't be more grateful + it was such a good value! Anna was our coordinator and she handled our vendors through FruitCraft and made sure everything flowed smoothly for us throughout the night. She even took care of our family throughout the night which was such a special touch and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our day! The bar and catering staff were also amazing to us! Thanks for making the start of our forever so special, we can’t wait to visit when its open as a tasting room in the future

    Incredible Event at FruitCraft

    We usually do not provide reviews, but in this case, it would be a complete disservice if we didn’t take the time to recognize the exceptional service provided by Anna for our wedding at Fruitcraft.

    Our wedding took place in Oct 2022, so this review is certainly long overdue, and we couldn’t wait any longer to let everyone know why Anna and Fruitcraft are the very best option for your next wedding.

    From the moment we reached out, the staff was attentive and we were immediately impressed on how open they were with our hectic schedule since we lived out of town (Seattle, WA). Once we toured the facility, we immediately fell in love with the simplistic décor to the outdoor space (LOVE sign).

    We loved everything about this place, but the person who made our experience seamless was Anna. We cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, attention to detail and timeliness. Leading up to the event, she made sure the Bride was calm and available for any last-minute questions and concerns. Anna went out of her way to make us and our families feel welcomed (even when our families were not being the most cooperative).

    Once the special day arrived, I couldn’t express how much we needed Anna. There were multiple hiccups on our end from forgetting the rings, the marriage license, officiant forgetting his speech and so many more. The guests wouldn’t have known because Anna kept us all calm, cool and collected. We can honestly say this was the best day of our lives.

    Again, thank you so much Anna for all that you provided leading up to the wedding and of course the special day itself. We wouldn’t have been able to keep it together without you.

    Adore FruitCraft!

    We absolutely adore FruitCraft! It is truly a one-of-a-kind place that gave us all the feels on our wedding day! It's the perfect mesh of modern, minimalist, and plant vibes. Anna is an incredibly sweet soul, and you can see all the thoughtfulness she put into our big day - from calming my nerves before walking down the aisle to keeping up with our families throughout the night - she was key in keeping our day together for us.
    The additions of the vendors- bar ( their house distilled cocktails are AMAZING!), catering - the chicken & steak skewers were delish!, dj- had us on the dance floor all night!, florals- so beautiful!- made it exactly what we wanted for our stress free wedding day! Our guests still tell us what a great time they had and it wouldn't be possible without FruitCraft’s team!

    Open air venue in the city, with great food, drinks and set up

    With the pandemic and our previous venue closing for good, my wife and I were forced to have a smaller celebration for our family and friends. We were looking for a venue that could do many things in house and we found Fruitcraft while doing a google search for micro weddings. My wife loved the venue itself since she loves plants, which are literally everywhere in this venue and made our photos look great. I have a sensitivity to alcohol but I still like to drink so I like that their drinks were made in house with good ingredients. They took care of the food, drinks, setup and we only had to worry about flowers and getting everyone there. We both loved that our guests felt taken care of by Anna and her staff and that everyone felt comfortable because of the extra sanitation steps they are taking for Covid. Since we already had lost money with our previous venue going out of business, it was great that Alan helped us piece together an affordable wedding that still felt great to us and our family. I definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for something well priced and nice in the city.
