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

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

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

It was the perfect venue for 265 guests and if you really like magical, rustic vibes! They can even go higher to accommodate 300 guests. The decorations, staff, and our coordinator were just perfect! We really liked our coordinator Sage. She was absolutely great to work with and she followed our timeline so well. Without her, our day would not have been so perfect. She helped us solve any issues that came up during the wedding and she was very on top of things. The food was also so delicious. We ordered Tri tip and the Shrimp and Salmon Farfalle Pasta as our entrees which were delicious!! Their menu always changes since it's all locally grown ingredients and seasonal. However, their chefs are really amazing! We really liked how they offered family style as an option to serve dinner. Basically family style is a buffet style brought right to the tables. The bartenders also did an excellent job keeping the line moving and getting everyone drinks (sometimes a little heavy on the pour 😉 ). Thank you to everyone at Trademark Venues and all of the staff at Green Gables!! read less - 8/31/2022

This is long overdue but working with Trademark Venues was nothing short of amazing! The venue was BEAUTIFUL! We visited a couple other trademark venues (both as wedding guests and as potential venues for our own wedding), but Botanica definitely stood out over the rest. Admittedly, driving to the venue, you wouldn't expect it to look the way it does, but once you step inside, it truly felt like a little piece of paradise. The grounds are clean, well kept, and spacious but still very intimate! Both the bridal and groom suites were perfect to get ready in, take pictures and/or just relax before your big moments! There are plenty of spots on the grounds where the natural backdrop provides a picture perfect moment for you and your special someone.
Onto the process... Planning a wedding is such a hectic process and the team made us feel so comfortable through the whole thing. Special shout out to Jes, who took care of us from the planning, communication, and getting ready day of and all the way through the end of the night. She was mindful of everything and made sure we were happy! Working with Jes made it feel like she was just a friend helping us out! Loved that! Our parents also loved Jes and spoke highly of her and her attention to detail from our wedding, set up and take down. The bartenders, security, and all other staff working that night were also all so graceful and helpful to not only Chad and I, but also all of our guests. We heard great reviews from everyone in the days (and months!) since the wedding. That's how you know it was amazing! Also wanted to shout out Alyssa she was there by my side from the beginning making sure I was taken care of as well as my bridesmaids. I don't think our drinks were ever empty, and Alyssa also made sure I got food and ate so thank you so much you are awesome and such a joy to work with on my big day!
It's been two months since our wedding and it's been great reliving the night over and over with our pictures, videos, and conversations with our friends and family!
If you're considering a beautiful venue with amazing people to work with from the get-go, go with Botanica or any of the trademark venues - you won't be disappointed! Ask for Jes too! read less - 9/04/2022

The owner of this venue "Trademark Venues" owns several other venues nearby such as Green Gables and Twin Oaks and I've never been disappointed when going to a wedding at their venues. The staff is very friendly and the whole event is run very well.
Tivoli is a very he that really provides unique different areas that work really well with the flow of a wedding. I would suggest parties no larger than 150 people to really make the most out of this intimate location. I actually don't know the max this place could accommodate but it isn't in my opinion a place to hold a huge wedding by the way it was designed. As a guest I really enjoyed myself and it was awesome that they had valet available because I could imagine if they didn't that parking would have been a bit of a nightmare since the parking lot isn't that big.
This review was solely based as a guest of a wedding here and I will say I really enjoyed it. I have no idea what it was like as a person picking this venue to host a wedding. read less - 8/29/2022

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

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 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

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

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

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

They were there from the beginning of our planning till after!

We loved Green Gables Estate so much. It was the perfect venue for 265 guests and if you really like magical, rustic vibes! They can even go higher to accommodate 300 guests.

It was the perfect venue for 265 guests and if you really like magical, rustic vibes! They can even go higher to accommodate 300 guests. The decorations, staff, and our coordinator were just perfect! We really liked our coordinator Sage. She was absolutely great to work with and she followed our timeline so well. Without her, our day would not have been so perfect. She helped us solve any issues that came up during the wedding and she was very on top of things. The food was also so delicious. We ordered Tri tip and the Shrimp and Salmon Farfalle Pasta as our entrees which were delicious!! Their menu always changes since it's all locally grown ingredients and seasonal. However, their chefs are really amazing! We really liked how they offered family style as an option to serve dinner. Basically family style is a buffet style brought right to the tables. The bartenders also did an excellent job keeping the line moving and getting everyone drinks (sometimes a little heavy on the pour 😉 ). Thank you to everyone at Trademark Venues and all of the staff at Green Gables!! read less - 8/31/2022

I also want to give a HUGE shout to our wedding coordinator, Natalia, and the bridal assistant, Katie. They truly are amazing. They were always so kind and extremely helpful. Natalia made sure the wedding day went smoothly and Katie was always ready to hand me (or the bridal party) water, appetizers, or drinks. I cannot say enough great things about them! 10/10 I will recommend Twin Oaks to anyone and everyone. read less - 8/04/2022

This is long overdue but working with Trademark Venues was nothing short of amazing! The venue was BEAUTIFUL! We visited a couple other trademark venues (both as wedding guests and as potential venues for our own wedding), but Botanica definitely stood out over the rest. Admittedly, driving to the venue, you wouldn't expect it to look the way it does, but once you step inside, it truly felt like a little piece of paradise. The grounds are clean, well kept, and spacious but still very intimate! Both the bridal and groom suites were perfect to get ready in, take pictures and/or just relax before your big moments! There are plenty of spots on the grounds where the natural backdrop provides a picture perfect moment for you and your special someone.
Onto the process... Planning a wedding is such a hectic process and the team made us feel so comfortable through the whole thing. Special shout out to Jes, who took care of us from the planning, communication, and getting ready day of and all the way through the end of the night. She was mindful of everything and made sure we were happy! Working with Jes made it feel like she was just a friend helping us out! Loved that! Our parents also loved Jes and spoke highly of her and her attention to detail from our wedding, set up and take down. The bartenders, security, and all other staff working that night were also all so graceful and helpful to not only Chad and I, but also all of our guests. We heard great reviews from everyone in the days (and months!) since the wedding. That's how you know it was amazing! Also wanted to shout out Alyssa she was there by my side from the beginning making sure I was taken care of as well as my bridesmaids. I don't think our drinks were ever empty, and Alyssa also made sure I got food and ate so thank you so much you are awesome and such a joy to work with on my big day!
It's been two months since our wedding and it's been great reliving the night over and over with our pictures, videos, and conversations with our friends and family!
If you're considering a beautiful venue with amazing people to work with from the get-go, go with Botanica or any of the trademark venues - you won't be disappointed! Ask for Jes too! read less - 9/04/2022
