From the onset, our wedding coordinator, Amy, was extremely helpful and available for our many questions. From there, she continued to help us throughout rehearsal, day-of needs, and along with the awesome bar staff, made sure my wife & I were taken care of for food & drinks. Ethereal Gardens itself was an absolutely gorgeous venue, surrounded with lush, green scenery and plenty of space for our guests to mingle during cocktail hour and dance the night away. It was the best day of our lives! read less - 2/14/2022

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

The property is well maintained and even though it's in a busy area, the trees and flowers lining the venue make it feel super secluded and intimate. There are a number of places to have the ceremony. We got married in the gazebo and it was beautiful. The cocktail hour in the patio-like area between the schoolhouse and the groom's speakeasy was a hit. While we took photos elsewhere on the property, it total privacy so we were able to focus, our guests were able to enjoy a cocktail hour with appetizers catered by the venue and drinks from the satellite bar. Dinner was fantastic and our guests enjoyed the food. Our day-of coordinator, Courtney, was super helpful both in the planning process and as well as on our special day. One of the things I hear all the time is how brides and grooms often forget to eat or have some time to themselves, but Courtney ensured we were able to do both! Overall, we loved Green Gables and would recommend any of the Trademark properties to anyone planning a medium to large sized celebration.
The music has to stop at 10pm at all outdoor venues in San Diego county, but we planned a casual afterparty at the local bar for those with extra energy and that worked perfectly! The Green Gables team has Uber/Lyft recommendations to make everyone's travel at the end of the night can keep the party going. read less - 1/04/2022

I looked at pictures online and immediately made an appointment to see it in person. It's the first and only venue we looked at but we knew it was perfect for us. Michelle is the first person we worked with in terms of selecting a date and other logistics, and she was so personable and friendly.
When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, everyone at Trademark Venues was so accommodating and helpful, and they were able to help us transition to our new date seamlessly. We had several different coordinators during our two-year-long planning-during-a-global-pandemic process, but they were all friendly and easy to work with. We eventually ended up with Mirae, who was kind, responsive, and extremely helpful.
One of the main reasons we selected Trademark Venues is because I wanted to do a lot of DIY for the wedding, but I didn't want my bridal party to be stuck setting everything up. Mirae and the Trademark team completely handled it - we dropped everything off at the beginning of our dress rehearsal, discussed with Mirae what should go where, and the morning of the wedding, everything was set up exactly to our specifications.
The day of the wedding, I didn't see much of Mirae, but I am certain she was behind the scenes working her magic because everything went off without a hitch. If anything did go wrong, I didn't hear about it, which, as the bride, I greatly appreciated!! I would also like to give a shout-out to Katie, a member of the Trademark team. She was AMAZING. After our ceremony, I mentioned to my new husband that I was going to kill someone if I didn't get one of the delicious grilled cheese/tomato soup shooters we had chosen as an appetizer. And bam - Katie was there with shooter in hand! She also followed me around carrying my train, made sure my champagne was always full, and reminded me to drink water. Thank you, Katie!!!
We had a build-your-own taco bar for our meal, and while Mirae brought us food, I was too busy talking to guests to eat! I heard it was delicious, though.
Several of our guests commented that ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended, and this was largely due to the gorgeous Twin Oaks. Highly recommend this venue and the Trademark team! read less - 3/03/2022

My husband and I visited a handful of venues, majority of them owned by Trademark Events and Botanica was our first choice. When we toured the venue for the first time, we both immediately knew this was the perfect venue for us. It literally feels like you're in a majestic tropical oasis. It is filled with so much greenery, you really don't need much florals or decor if you plan to have a wedding here. We had our ceremony at the waterfall, cocktail hour at the lawn, and reception under the tent. All of our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and said that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to. They also really enjoyed the food and the unlimited drinks! Our wedding day went so smoothly with the help of our coordinator Morgan and the rest of the Trademark team. Special thanks to Morgan for helping us plan our wedding from the very beginning. I sent her a lot emails throughout the wedding planning process and she was always quick to respond and professional. What is great about booking Botanica and any of the other venues owned by Trademark is that it includes a wedding coordinator, catering, BYOB (which will save you a lot!), day-of-staff, bridal assistant, bridal & groom's suite, and trendy decor (you can upgrade for additional costs). Botanica is truly a dream come true... my husband and I will never forget our wedding day and how perfect it turned out to be. Highly recommend!

-A final in-person meeting with your coordinator. At this meeting, she took all of our vendor info and contacted them prior to our wedding to give them the right timeline, confirm delivery, etc. (s/o Morgan!)

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

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

From the onset, our wedding coordinator, Amy, was extremely helpful and available for our many questions. From there, she continued to help us throughout rehearsal, day-of needs, and along with the awesome bar staff, made sure my wife & I were taken care of for food & drinks. Ethereal Gardens itself was an absolutely gorgeous venue, surrounded with lush, green scenery and plenty of space for our guests to mingle during cocktail hour and dance the night away.

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 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

Wedding receptions mostly take place under a large tent (I think it's permanent), nestled in the pastoral grounds. read less - 3/04/2022

I looked at pictures online and immediately made an appointment to see it in person. It's the first and only venue we looked at but we knew it was perfect for us. Michelle is the first person we worked with in terms of selecting a date and other logistics, and she was so personable and friendly.
When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, everyone at Trademark Venues was so accommodating and helpful, and they were able to help us transition to our new date seamlessly. We had several different coordinators during our two-year-long planning-during-a-global-pandemic process, but they were all friendly and easy to work with. We eventually ended up with Mirae, who was kind, responsive, and extremely helpful.
One of the main reasons we selected Trademark Venues is because I wanted to do a lot of DIY for the wedding, but I didn't want my bridal party to be stuck setting everything up. Mirae and the Trademark team completely handled it - we dropped everything off at the beginning of our dress rehearsal, discussed with Mirae what should go where, and the morning of the wedding, everything was set up exactly to our specifications.
The day of the wedding, I didn't see much of Mirae, but I am certain she was behind the scenes working her magic because everything went off without a hitch. If anything did go wrong, I didn't hear about it, which, as the bride, I greatly appreciated!! I would also like to give a shout-out to Katie, a member of the Trademark team. She was AMAZING. After our ceremony, I mentioned to my new husband that I was going to kill someone if I didn't get one of the delicious grilled cheese/tomato soup shooters we had chosen as an appetizer. And bam - Katie was there with shooter in hand! She also followed me around carrying my train, made sure my champagne was always full, and reminded me to drink water. Thank you, Katie!!!
We had a build-your-own taco bar for our meal, and while Mirae brought us food, I was too busy talking to guests to eat! I heard it was delicious, though.
Several of our guests commented that ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended, and this was largely due to the gorgeous Twin Oaks. Highly recommend this venue and the Trademark team! read less - 3/03/2022

My husband and I visited a handful of venues, majority of them owned by Trademark Events and Botanica was our first choice. When we toured the venue for the first time, we both immediately knew this was the perfect venue for us. It literally feels like you're in a majestic tropical oasis. It is filled with so much greenery, you really don't need much florals or decor if you plan to have a wedding here. We had our ceremony at the waterfall, cocktail hour at the lawn, and reception under the tent. All of our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and said that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to. They also really enjoyed the food and the unlimited drinks! Our wedding day went so smoothly with the help of our coordinator Morgan and the rest of the Trademark team. Special thanks to Morgan for helping us plan our wedding from the very beginning. I sent her a lot emails throughout the wedding planning process and she was always quick to respond and professional. What is great about booking Botanica and any of the other venues owned by Trademark is that it includes a wedding coordinator, catering, BYOB (which will save you a lot!), day-of-staff, bridal assistant, bridal & groom's suite, and trendy decor (you can upgrade for additional costs). Botanica is truly a dream come true... my husband and I will never forget our wedding day and how perfect it turned out to be. Highly recommend! You'll definitely feel like you're in Hawaii!! read less - 4/14/2022

While there is a difference between having a wedding planner and a venue coordinator, our venue coordinator made everything happen beautifully! What's included:
-A first phone call to establish relationship + your vibe
-An in-person meeting for choosing decor
-In person tasting is an additional cost but very fun, organized, and highly recommended
-A final in-person meeting with your coordinator. At this meeting, she took all of our vendor info and contacted them prior to our wedding to give them the right timeline, confirm delivery, etc. (s/o Morgan!)
-A bridal assistant who was SO helpful for me to have (s/o Annabelle!)
You can also send them a ton of emails to ask questions, get advice, etc. We did our ceremony at the waterfall, cocktail hour on the lawn, then reception in the tent. Highly recommend! read less - 4/04/2022

Great staff
NOT handicap accessible which was very difficult.
Grounds were just magical
I wasn't a fan of food and we had an out door event without heaters we froze to the point that most didn't eat to seek heat indoors. Nights are 39-47 at least for us. - 5/02/2022

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. I Will definitely be recommending this venue to all my engaged friends. I know they will have an amazing experience and it's an excuse for me to go back there again!! read less - 12/27/2021
