Cheaper Forest Wedding Venue Socal

I wasn’t quite set on a venue style until I saw Green Gables by Trademark. I absolutely love it, but I’m not sure we’ll ultimately be able to afford it. I would love to find some similar that are less, maybe closer to less than 5k if possible. I just love the idea of being surrounded by trees above us and around us, kind of enclosed like Green Gables shows, and with the twinkly lights, but I’m struggling and stressing since I don’t know where to try to do it by ourselves or where it’s a little cheaper at least. I’d like to stay as close to SoCal as possible.
I attached some pictures of the Green Gables venue that inspired what I’m looking for. Cheaper Forest Wedding Venue Socal 1

    Can you check into Idyllwild or Lake Arrowhead in the county of Inland Empire?

    Will it be warm enough for an outdoor wedding in October? I was mentioning those two mountain areas since, of course, they have the trees, but not trees like you have shown.

    One venue in Lake Arrowhead is

    Hi! Have you found the venue yet? I was trying to find the same kind of venue and the places by trademark are amazing, but also pricey. Have you tried the Hawk Ranch in Murrieta? There are plenty tall trees around and ceremony and reception are outdoors. The 5K is just for the venue right?
    They gave me an estimate of about $25k, but it includes food, drinks, DJ, rentals, etc. I hope this helps! Congratulations on your engagement!

    Oh forgot about Oak Nature Center in Anaheim. It’s just like you wanted and very affordable, however ceremony only. Check them out!
