From the reviews
Speaking as the bride, I have nothing but good things to say about this place. 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.
This venue was very pretty and was nice and large. Lots of foliage and plants all around. As an event/wedding venue I expect them to have certain things perfected. They had cocktail tables set up on hills that could barely hold a drink. Why wouldn't they make the table be level of they do it all the time.
My husband and I married here one month ago, and it was truly the best day of our lives! It was hard to find a wedding venue that we loved and fit our budget, but once we visited Green Gables and got in touch with the Trademark Venues team, this became a no-brainer.
My husband and I got married at Green Gables just three weeks ago, and we're still basking in the joy and magic of our special day! We can't recommend Marisa and the Green Gables team enough - they truly made our wedding dreams come true.
Getting married at Green Gables Wedding Estate
Green Gables Wedding Estate comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
