Having our wedding at Ethereal Gardens was by far the best decision we ever made. Both my husband and I loved every photo we saw of the property before visiting but were in complete awe/fell in love with the venue after touring it in person. The venue speaks for itself - green, lush, beautiful flowers, ambiance, well kept; seriously a complete magical experience just being there...so gorgeous!!!
Trademark is unmatched - part of me wanted to hire an outside planner/coordinator because I was told that sometimes it's difficult working with venue hired planners...this couldn't be further from the truth. I am so grateful for trademark and specifically for ANGEL BAZAN; our planner/coordinator. I kid you not, as soon as I was connected with Angel I probably emailed/called him once a week with questions/asking for advice/feedback/recommendations. Angel answered every single email, every single phone call with so much grace, with so much patience, with fabulous recommendations and was always so accommodating/understanding.
Angel seriously went above and beyond to ensure every last detail was checked off and as a result made our wedding day a fairytale/dream come true. I also want to shout out Ashley, the night of our wedding her and Angel worked together to make sure everything went smooth and ensure both my husband and I were happy/comfortable throughout the evening.
Ethereal Gardens will forever be our favorite place, trademark will always have a special place in our hearts, and we couldn't love Angel more if we tried. If you are considering Ethereal Gardens....DO IT! I can't recommend the venue more, it is everything!
And if you are looking into one of the other trademark venues, and wondering if you will be taken care of I PROMISE YOU from the bottom of my heart - they treat you like family and will exceed every expectation. Thank you Angel and trademark, you made our dreams come true!!! read less - 6/22/2022

We had already toured a couple of venues, but we hadn’t yet had that feeling of, “this is the one.” We drove up the hill with no expectations. As we walked around, we were silent. The beauty had taken our breath away. We thought to ourselves “this has to be too good to be true, no way can we afford this place.” Nonetheless, we decided to meet with the coordinator who was there, Hayley. Hayley, you were the first person we met, and you won us over. You were kind, communicative, and EXCITED FOR US! We had just met you, and you wanted to know everything about our story. Trademark made our budget work with our guest count and we were ready to plan our July 2020 wedding. Then COVID hit. Michelle, you were there to answer my countless concerned emails, calls, and texts. You understood our pain and worked to update us frequently. After rescheduling and having a small wedding during COVID at a family friend’s house, we were still kept in the loop. We knew we wanted to celebrate with our friends and family, at the place that we fell in love with. Meanwhile, we were spoiled with AMAZING client events/date nights that my husband and I got to look forward to every month. Even if we had to miss one, the team made sure to put together a “to-go” kit so we could still have a date night at home. As our anniversary celebration got closer, Amy, our coordinator kept detailed notes about the many changes we had made over the year of planning and re-planning. She was patient, understanding, and friendly to the family and friends she got to meet throughout our planning process. On our “wedding day”, Amy and my bridal assistant were attentive to my needs. They were great about keeping me on my timeline, without stressing me out. They knew it was a day to have fun and celebrate and they made sure that happened no matter what. I truly was able to enjoy my day without knowing about bumps along the way. Trademark truly was a dream come true to work with. And I am so thankful to have been able to celebrate at such a beautiful place. I do and will continue to recommend Trademark venues to my friends that are getting married (even my maid of honor picked a Trademark venue after seeing how amazing it was!) Thank you, to all the staff that made us smile, in the midst of cancellations and postponements, we are forever grateful to you. read less - 10/23/2021

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!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect. We had a ton of guests comment on how beautiful the wedding venue was and how good the food was too! I highly recommend this venue to anyone that is looking! You will not regret it! read less - 10/23/2021

I am from LA and I was worried about getting married in San Diego because we couldn’t make the commute frequently. The reason we ended up choosing this place is because of how beautiful it is. From the beginning the process with them was beyond easy. They were very helpful with every step of the way and since I was planning it without a planner I was very pleased with how much they took on and how smooth everything went.
We had multiple meanings with the workers and they talked us through the process. They also had amazing recommendations. You are required to go with a DJ or music of their listing which we had no problem with. The food is included in their packaging as well as staff which was a big help. Not only all this but we received fantastic treatment the day of with our own personal attendants. Mikayla (I’m so sorry if it is spelled wrong) and Melissa were beyond amazing! They were the most amazing people at making sure we were all cared for, everything went smoothly and that it was all perfect. They paid attention to every detail and everything we could have needed or needed help with.
For the girls there was a getting ready area and a photo area. Both very spacious and beautiful in their own way. The boys had their own speakeasy that is on the other side of the lawn. There are 2 locations to host the ceremony. 1. Is a smaller and more intimate 2. Is larger and full or more light. We went with the smaller location (photos shown). The grounds were large enough to stay hidden before and take photos after without running into too many people.
Looking back on everything we could not have picked a better place for our most special day. Thank you so much ♥️ read less - 4/09/2022

If you are thinking about a wedding here, I recommend visiting the venue in person. The pictures cannot even capture how beautiful it is. We also found the all-inclusive aspect very appealing to avoid the additional stress and complications of coordinating with multiple vendors. Our family and friends were in awe of the property and said that it felt like an oasis and a fairytale. We are so grateful for Hannah, our coordinator. She was such a pleasure to work with and was able to accommodate just about everything to bring our vision to life. Everything ran so smoothly the day-of that my husband and I were shocked at how perfect it all was. The staff were so organized, friendly, and responsive to the bridal party and guests.

Trademark Venues knows what they are doing when it comes to weddings, and every aspect of the day was taken care of so that we could relax and have a good time. Our coordinator, Morgan Costa, was a fantastic communicator from the day we signed our contract, through the wedding day, and even continues to be after the wedding! She answered my excessive amounts of emails with patience and positivity and made my husband and I feel so special as we planned our wedding. In terms of the venue itself, the grounds are kept incredibly nice, the food is tasty, and the service is awesome.

The over all theme feels like Hawaii, with palm trees, manicured lawns, huts, and tropic pond. I went here for a family wedding and as the bride is originally from Hawaii I can see why she would choose such an ideal place.
No matter the angle you look, once you're inside the trees that outline the interior, there isn't an ugly space in sight. And everything is spaced out enough for wedding attendees to move and find activities to do. There's a picturesque view of the pond that's great for holding the ceremony in front of. There's a decent sized lawn area with gazebo that hosts a ton of games (lawn bowling, Jenga, corn hole...etc.) as well as provides a space for a photo booth. The food venue is above, where they have a full bar station, ample bathrooms, and a display structure for the cake or pictures--or both. There's even a cave-like area with a dance floor for guests to dance their hearts out to the DJ's tunes. Everything is connected and easy to get to, no matter one's ability to move.
The staff is also utterly amazing. They're friendly, helpful, and really on it. They transitioned the chairs from the ceremony area to the tabled areas with minutes. They made sure to help anyone that needed support in getting food or drinks. They also made sure to keep the venue safe.
Overall, this is a beautiful venue to have a wedding. With so much beauty given to the manicured grounds, hardly any worry about flowers or extra decorations need be had. As a bride, you could just focus on your dress and bouquet and let the rest of the grounds enhance your ceremony. Also, the efficiently and flow of the wedding as executed by the staff was flawless.
I had a great time here and I'd recommend it to any couple seeking to tie the knot. read less - 7/04/2022

What better review then a complete different category that I am used to. A wedding venue! It has been over 2 years since I have been to a wedding venue, and I would say this was not only beautiful, but it also felt safe due to the outdoor environment. I was invited to the wedding as a groomsmen so I was also able to see some places that isn't shown to the public like the rooms suite which was a nice place to hang out as the groom was taking care of his duties for the day.
I'm not quite sure if the food was in house, but everything was planned quite nice. The food was good, and the staff was real nice and not intrusive. I am sure this place must be packed with reservations.

We were greeted with valet parking when we arrived so we got to walk right to the ceremony, which was a great start to the day. The ceremony was in the shade under trees and hanging twinkling lights. It was a beautiful location for a ceremony and sooo dreamy. Next was cocktail hour, it took place in another beautiful outdoor terrace under market lights and surrounded by huge trees, the fall foliage was so beautiful, I felt like I was in a hallmark movie!! Then, we went to the big gorgeous barn for reception. Every location was more beautiful then the last, it was always such a fun surprise! The barn had a huge chandelier with greenery hanging off and market lights hung from the vaulted ceiling. Don't get me started on the bar inside this barn, it felt like a super upscale bar downtown. The decor was so unique and I loved the atmosphere. Cocktails were great and dinner was yummy! We danced the night away in the barn and made so many memories.

The town of Julian is filled with charm and history. When my fiancé and I pictured getting married, we felt Julian had the essence of everything we wanted - tons of nature, great places for family to stay, and something unique and outside the box. We started looking at venues in the area and Pine Hill quickly became our top choice.
The seclusion is so beautiful. We saw actual deer and quail around the grounds when we toured. Butterflies and other natural pollinators, and my favorite - manzanita trees! The views are stunning and it is truly peaceful. You don't have to worry about another wedding happening at the same time, our friends and family have the whole venue to ourselves!
The staff was so kind and accommodating and showed us around the property and helped us envision what our day would be like there. Since the venue is under new ownership, they were able to share with us all the changes and improvement that have been made while still keeping the amazing history here.
The Trademark company has other venues as well that we looked at, some of them they've been having weddings at for 20+ years, so they definitely know what they're doing! Pine Hill remained our favorite out of all of them! The package is super streamlined and easy. We don't have to stress about finding a ton of different vendors and outside companies to work with, but we still get to customize and bring in our own unique vision. It's the perfect balance!
Thank you so much Trademark and Pine Hill for making our experience so great! read less - 12/16/2021

The venue has the most amazing mountain rustic design, along with beautiful green outdoor spaces. The guys relaxed inside of the grooms lounge that had antique props and comfy furniture while the ladies got pretty inside of an on-site SALON!
The foresty ceremony site was breathtaking. The company that took over the venue added a ton of beautiful upgrades (the wedding was moved from 2020) so we were able to witness the changes first hand. It looks like a completely different venue!
The parking was valet which I loved because the whole venue is located on a hill (this is what gives it such stunning views) the staff was friendly and very helpful.... I felt like I was asking a million questions and someone was always there to help me. We did the rehearsal dinner at a spot in Oceanside and stayed there so the drive up was about 1 hour, just enough to get us in the mountains but not too far!
I remember wanting to go to a tasting but they made it more of a date for the bride and groom so only they tasted the food. I thought it was going to be just normal wedding food but it was delightful! I had butternut squah ravioli (they made that plate just for me because im a vegetarian)
Overall I am giving 5 stars because after all that this couple went through, moving their wedding date twice because of COVID and then have to change their ideas on style when they moved seasons, this venue handled my friends like pros. ! read less - 12/16/2021

I personally enjoyed the bourbon they served in the "eagles nest" that's why they call the man's cave In the second story loft of the historic barn. I personally had interest in the history of Jack Dempsey. He was the heavy weight championship fighter in the early 1900s and the lodge and barn is where he boxed. The lodge that sits on this property is from 1912, just so cool.
My daughter didn't really know anything about that but she didn't need to. The space was beautiful enough to capture her attention. From the moment we stepped in (I went with her on the guided tour. The gals name was Shannon and she was so helpful) we knew this was us. I used to take her hiking, and fishing in the mountains so the deer running alongside the road was "her thing".
There was also two managers on the venue who were really helpful and organized. Michael and Josh. They had the groups of vendors in order and anything I needed they took care of. Thanks you guys! read less - 12/16/2021
