Botanica was the perfect place to choose to get married! Bernadette made the planning process so easy. When I walked in the day of, I was relieved to see that they had already set up the venue perfectly according to my vision. Throughout the day, Bernadette and her assistant were so attentive and helpful. They were so kind and encouraging. I honestly could not recommend getting married at Botanica enough. I am so grateful I did!

Botanica was our dream venue and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding weekend. The weather was beautiful, the grounds were lush and green, and the overall ambiance was so beautiful!
Having Bernadette as our wedding planner was also what made our wedding experience so perfect! She was organized, professional, and had an incredible eye for detail. From day one, she made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.
On the day of our wedding, everything ran flawlessly thanks to her careful coordination and expertise. Bernadette went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. Our guests were blown away by how smoothly everything went! Bernadette and the incredible staff at Botanica - we can’t recommend her and this venue enough!

My wife and I had a great experience not only on the day of our wedding at Botanica, but also the year-long preparation process with Botanica's Senior Event Planner, Jeselle C.
Jeselle did a great job coordinating our wedding from day-one to the big day. Her level of detail and welcoming demeanor made my wife and I feel very comfortable, and we knew it was going to be a seamless and enjoyable experience working with her from the get-go.
Botanica contains a large campus that offers several amenities such as a bridal suite, groomsmen suite, various bar areas, a turf cocktail lawn, a tropical ceremony cove, and an indoor reception tent. Botanica is basically a beautiful, tropical oasis. I cannot say enough positive things about our entire experience with this venue. If you're looking to reserve an elegant paradise for your big day with a great wedding coordinator, Botanica is an excellent choice.

Botanica was a BEAUTIFUL wedding venue. Sage was an absolute lifesaver in making our wedding at Botanica everything we dreamed of and more! From the start, she was incredibly receptive to our ideas, truly listening to our vision and helping us bring it to life while keeping things stress-free. One of the things we appreciated most was her ability to guide us toward budget-friendly choices without compromising on the style or experience we wanted. She had amazing pro-tips that helped elevate our wedding and keep our guests engaged—from coordinating a fun (and unexpected) Smirnoff icing for our guests to suggesting cold foam for our espresso martinis to add that perfect finishing touch. Every detail she recommended helped ensure that our wedding not only looked stunning but also felt unique and personal to us. Her expertise, organization, and creative ideas made the planning process so much smoother, and we felt completely confident knowing she had everything under control. If you're planning a wedding at Botanica, Sage is the person you want in your corner!

Having our wedding at Botanica was an absolute dream come true! The venue spoke for itself and was the perfect oasis to have our big day at. It was clean, the staff was amazing, everything ran smoothly, the farm-to-table food was delicious, and everything that we pictured in our head came to life. Most importantly, we can't rave about Morgan, our coordinator, enough. She helped us for a whole year with any questions we had, designing our day, communicating with vendors, and overall just helping our day be flawless. Every single wedding we have been a bridesmaid for, the bride has been stressed out. For our day, neither of us were stressed AT ALL because Morgan organized and delegated everything so perfectly. If anything had gone wrong, we had no idea because Morgan took care of it for us. I wish I had Morgan with me 24/7 to coordinate my life! Botanica is a 10/10 on its own, but Morgan and our bridal assistant, Alyssa, make Botanica a 1000/10! We highly recommend!

Our wedding planner Bernadette was the absolute best!!! She made sure our day was everything we dreamed of and more! She is so organized, the best communicator, and talking to her puts your mind at ease. Even though there were a few bumps on the road (from our end), she handled everything so calmly and efficiently. Our wedding day was better than either of us imagined and it was all thanks to Bernadette! We appreciate everything she’s done for us and will remember that day forever! She also has the kindest soul. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! We absolutely adore her!!!!

We just got married here on Saturday and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Our wedding coordinator was Jeselle Corpus and she was amazing!
Jeselle, thank you once again for all your help on Saturday. You are the reason we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. We will be eternally grateful for your kindness, organization, and willingness to accommodate our last-minute changes (lol).

Botanica helped my Wife and I have our dream wedding. We were lucky enough to have Morgan as our wedding planner through trademark venues. Morgan was so friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire year we worked with her. Morgan was very organized the day of the rehearsal and of course the wedding day. She went above and beyond to take care of us, our pup, and our family the day of the wedding. Morgan helped our day move along seamlessly and we highly recommend her if you get the chance! Along with Morgan, the entire staff that we had for our wedding day was extremely helpful, professional, and friendly. We only had positive feedback from our guests as well. We definitely recommend trademark venues and especially Botanica. Thank you !

Our wedding truly felt like a fairytale. There’s something so magical about the sound of the waterfall and being surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. But what made our experience so much better was being paired with Mikaela as our wedding planner!
She was our North Star throughout the whole wedding planning process as well as the wedding day itself! She is so organized and insightful. She patiently answered all of our questions (and there were A LOT of them) and listened to all of our concerns reassuring us that everything will fall into place and it did, thanks to her and her wonderful team!
Everything was so beautiful and exactly as we envisioned it. We wouldn’t have known what to do without her. I cannot emphasize enough how pivotal of a role she played in the success of our wedding. Our families and friends have nothing but compliments to say about our wedding. To summarize, Mikaela is the absolute BEST! 🥹🤍

Our dream wedding was able to come to life at Botanica. Our wedding planner Mikaela from the very beginning explained everything this venue and trademark has to offer which is so much more than a lot of other venues we looked into. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out and cannot wait to look back on this very special day they helped create.

Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and I cannot express enough how beautiful our wedding was thanks to Jeselle and her staff for bringing our whole vision to life. Jeselle was THE PERFECT wedding planner for us. She was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and executed everything exactly as we wanted to ensure our big day went smoothly. We loved Botanica as soon as we toured the venue because of the lush tropical greenery that will make you feel like you are in Hawaii. It's really a hidden gem tucked away in California. The venue is just beautiful and our out of town guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. Our guests loved the food too! Everything was just PERFECT!!!

We recently celebrated our wedding at Botanica, and it was nothing short of perfect! From the moment we booked the venue, the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making our special day truly unforgettable but, more importantly, stress-free!
A special shoutout to our amazing coordinator, Jeselle. She was a dream to work with—always organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. Jeselle's attention to detail and dedication to making our vision come to life was truly exceptional. She handled everything gracefully and professionally, ensuring our day went smoothly.
The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful scenery and elegant spaces providing the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how good the food was, how gorgeous everything looked, and how smoothly the event flowed.
We wholeheartedly recommend Trademark Venues for anyone looking to host their wedding. Their exceptional service, breathtaking venues, and dedicated staff, especially Jeselle, made our wedding day a truly magical experience.
Thank you, Trademark Venues, for making our dream wedding a reality!

When searching for a wedding venue, we knew we wanted something tropical or beachy and were initially debating between California and Hawaii. When we found the Trademark venue Botanica, we knew we could bring a little bit of Hawaii to the mainland! If you are considering Botanica, we highly recommend that you go visit in person. The venue is very green with a beautiful outdoor ceremony site, outdoor lawn, and a nice covered tent area too. We liked the photos we saw on Instagram, but were even more wowed in person! During planning phone calls and in person meetings, our Trademark coordinator Mikaela was there to answer our plethora of questions. The in person meetings were very helpful because we were able to see so many samples of decor, table settings, and furniture and then could select what we wanted for our big day. During the planning process, we also participated in a group menu tasting with other couples getting married at Trademark venues. While we initially were not blown away by the food options, we were able to customize some of the menu items and the food ended up tasting delicious on the actual wedding day. So many of our guests complimented the food (especially the mashed potatoes, so good!). Trademark offered many other activities for couples, but we did not opt in for any besides the food tasting. Mikaela coordinated with our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, so that everyone was present at the right times and the day could run smoothly. On the day of the wedding, she also helped us accommodate a last minute change in weather. We were able to have our ceremony outdoors and then it started raining right afterwards. The team seamlessly transitioned the outdoor cocktail hour to the tented area, which was originally designated just for dinner and the reception. The Trademark team had altered the tent layout to include many of the things that originally would have been outdoors, such as the welcome table, memory table, and photobooth. With all of these changes, there was still plenty of room for all of our guests and everyone was able to stay dry. Our wedding day was unforgettable and Botanica was the perfect venue for us! Thank you again to Mikaela and the team for helping make our day so special! With Love, Holly & Connor

From first stepping foot into Botanica, we decided to look no further. From the greenery, the waterfall, the spaciousness, and overall vibe, we knew this is was going to be our venue. Botanica arranged Morgan as our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been a better match. Morgan was attentive to all our needs, answered every questions we had promptly and efficiently, and was there for us when we needed her the most. Come wedding day, Morgan made sure everything was in place just as we imagined it and ensured that our special day ran smoothly. She couldn’t have done a better job and we are so grateful! Our wedding was one that not only we will remember forever, but I am sure all of our guests as well. One month later, we are still getting raving reviews of how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. If Botanica is on your radar, look no further. You won’t have a better venue to spending your most important day of your life!

My wife and I got married at Botanica in June of 2024. From the very start of our planning process in August 2022 the Trademark staff was so helpful and immediately responsive to all of our questions. Morgan was our wedding planner and she always made us feel so welcome and was equally as excited about our day as we were!
As an LGBTQ+ couple it was very important to us that we worked with vendors who respected both us and all of our guests and the staff at Botanica exceeded all expectations.
Our guests were so impressed with the beauty of the venue and we got so many compliments on the food that was served at cocktail hour and for dinner! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Morgan and the rest of the Botanica staff. She made sure we always had a drink in hand and set up our decor exactly as we wanted! I can’t recommend Botanica enough to any couple looking for a wedding where you truly feel like the guests of honor!
Thank you, Morgan!!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with the staff at Botanica. Our coordinator, Mikaela, was very responsive to all of my questions and helped bring our dream wedding to life. Our quests complimented how beautiful the venue was all night long. The staff on our wedding day brought us items before we even thought about, cleaned up our decor timely and helped make the day seamless. We highly recommend Trademark Venues and Botanica!

I can't even put into words how beautiful our wedding turned out. Botanica was my dream wedding spot close to home and it did not disappoint. I was a little hesitant at first about the food after the tasting event since many of the items were cooked poorly, but everything tastes 1000x better the day of our wedding. Loved the family style food service too. Our wedding coordinator Jeselle was phenomenal from start to finish. She was very easy to approach, quick to respond to all emails, & efficient with all our meetings to make sure we were on track with our vendors & planning. During all the crazy rain and hail we experienced the day of, she kept constant communication with us and kept us on our timeline! Highly recommend Jeselle if you're planning on having your wedding at Botanica. If you're using Dancing DJ Productions through the venue we'd highly recommend DJ Mitch if you're going for an EDM genre wedding. Happy planning everyone!

Botanica is such a beautiful venue. I am so glad that I found it and that our wedding day was everything we could have wanted and more. Our wedding planner Bernadette was amazing throughout my whole wedding planning process. The day of the wedding she made sure that everything was perfect and communicated everything to me and made sure my husband and I were both taken care of all while putting together our special day.

Review of Our Wedding at Botanica in Oceanside:
Our wedding at Botanica in Oceanside was held on March 16, 2024. It was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we laid eyes on the venue, we knew we couldn't have made a better choice for our special day. The tropical resort feel of Botanica instantly captivated us, setting the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
One of the aspects we loved most about Botanica was the convenience it offered our guests. With the ceremony and reception areas within walking distance of each other, our guests were able to move seamlessly between the two, making for a more enjoyable and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
The highlight of our wedding day was undoubtedly the breathtaking waterfall cove where we exchanged our vows. The serene beauty of the surroundings added an extra layer of magic to the moment, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
A major factor in the success of our wedding day was the exceptional service provided by the trademark staff, led by Amy Hayashi and her team. From start to finish, Amy and her team executed every detail flawlessly, ensuring that our day went off without a hitch. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our wedding day perfect did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for their hard work. Kudos to Amy to keeping me calm throughout the day.
Additionally, one of the perks of choosing Botanica as our venue was their list of preferred vendors, including DJs. After careful consideration, we decided to go with DJ MoJoe, Joseph Rivera, from the preferred list. And let me tell you, we couldn't have made a better choice. From the moment we connected with DJ MoJoe, we knew we were in good hands.
Throughout the planning process, DJ MoJoe was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our requests. He took the time to understand our musical preferences and vision for the event, and he went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect.
On the day of the wedding, DJ MoJoe absolutely nailed it. He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long, seamlessly mixing our favorite songs and accommodating requests from our guests. His ability to read the crowd and keep the party going was truly impressive.
Thanks to DJ MoJoe and the entire team at Botanica, our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. The venue exceeded all of our expectations, and we would highly recommend it, as well as other venues managed by Trademark, to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding experience. If you're looking for a venue and DJ who will elevate your event to the next level, look no further than Botanica and DJ MoJoe – they're simply the best!

Botanica is such a DREAM of a venue and it will forever have a special place in our hearts! When you're there, you feel like you've been transported to a remote, tropical island. So many of our guests shared that it's the most beautiful venue they've ever attended a wedding at. I immediately fell in love with the pond, such a beautiful atmosphere to get married at!
Not only is the venue beautiful, but what the Trademark team offers is so hard to beat. I loved that it was kind of a one-stop-shop where the decor, catering and planning/coordinating team is included- making the planning process so simple.
We are so grateful that Jeselle was our wedding coordinator- she is simply AMAZING. She was so organized, made sure we didn't miss any details, and had so many great suggestions when we felt stuck on a decision. Every call with her was so fun, and she made sure that we weren't too stressed over wedding planning- this was invaluable. She helped coordinate with all our vendors, making sure they knew the timeline and answered any questions they may have had.
On the day of the wedding, she and the Trademark team made everything look PERFECT. Their execution was flawless and it was so amazing to see our vision come to life. After the wedding, they carefully packed up all our decor and extra alcohol and we basically just had to load the car! I've been a bridesmaid at a few weddings where the bridal party had to breakdown and gather the decor (harder to do when you've had a few drinks).
Other awesome things to note:
- The Bridal/Grooms suites are beautifully decorated. The grooms suite have a mini putting green which all the groomsmen loved.
- Our guests said the food was great! (We did not have an appetite the day of because of all the adrenaline, but the appetizers are delicious!)
- Ample and easy parking (we had 180 guests)
- Countless photogenic spots for photos
The only bad thing that happened was the restrooms got clogged during reception, so all our guests had to use the one restroom at the bridal and groom's suite. That was a bit of a bummer, but other than that- everything was literally perfect.
I 100% would recommend Botanica. Wish we could re-live the wedding day again!

Botanica was an absolute dream to work with! So many of our guests keep telling us how beautiful the venue was! We completely believe this venue is the best of the best and it really exceeded our expectations. Not only was the venue stunning, but Natalia our coordinator is really what made our experience so amazing! From the very beginning of planning she helped us answer all of our questions, and provided suggestions to ensure a picture perfect wedding day. On the day of our wedding she was especially amazing. She made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted it and she even checked in on us and made sure we always had a drink in hand. At the end of the night she also made sure all of our decor packed up and ready to put in our cars. All of the staff were incredibly helpful and nice and made sure the evening was fun and went smoothly! We are so happy we decided to book our wedding at Botanica, and we highly recommend them! Lots of options for decor are included, or available for upgrades which makes it feel like a one stop shop. THANK YOU!

This was the second venue my then-fiance and I viewed during our wedding planning, and I remember being blown away by how great it looked. We wanted a tropical venue, and Botanica met all expectations. The venue is spacious and doesn't need a lot of decorating because it's already beautiful. The wedding coordinators, Cassandra and then Amy, were very organized and accommodating to our needs. We were worried about what the food would taste like, as we didn't want typical reception food, but our guests continue to rave over our menu (amongst picky eaters even)! It tasted even better than the tasting session (which comes at an extra price btw). Overall great experience and highly recommend!

My husband and I just had our wedding 2/22/24 at Botanica and it was just an amazing experience. Our coordinator, Bernadette, was so helpful the whole way through! She had amazing recommendations and shared her thoughts and opinions while planning, which helped so much! We would have never thought about hiring a coordinator if it wasn’t for Trademark having it included as a part of their package. There are no words to describe how helpful Bernadette was from the beginning until the very end of our wedding day. Anyone would be so very lucky to have her! She is amazing!
She also had a bridal assistant the day of the wedding, Aiat, and she was also so sweet and so helpful! Anything we needed, she was there! The two of them make the absolute best team, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. 10/10 - if you are considering a trademark venue Botanica is so beautiful even by itself! I’m so happy we found this venue, and even more thrilled that we got to meet such AMAZING people who helped make the day run so smooth. Would highly recommend Botanica, or any Trademark venue!

I cannot say enough great things about Botanica and our day of coordinator Jeselle! Neither of us had to think about a thing on our wedding day in regards to venue, decorations, food, guest questions, etc. The day was so perfect and smooth (even with rain all morning), and that is no doubt due to the work of Jeselle and the whole team at Botanica. The planning process is made fun and easy through 3 meetings with your coordinator. Jeselle was great about helping us with suggestions when requested and also letting our wedding day be our personalities! There are great food and decor options to choose from. All of their venues are gorgeous, but when we walked the grounds of Botanica, we knew that was the vibe we wanted. Can't thank you all enough for making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned!!

Botanica is the most breathtaking and beautiful venue! We got married here on Friday, February 9, 2024 and it was truly the best day of our life! We were fortunate enough to just miss the storm that was passing through Southern California, but you couldn't even tell the moment you stepped onto the property! Everything was cleaned up and looking so beautiful the day of, all of the staff there really cares about your big day!
The Venue - we had just around 150 people and the different spaces available really allow a nice flow and change of scenery throughout the day/night! We were married in front of the waterfall which was everything I envisioned and more. Then our cocktail hour moved to the upper market lit lawn and really set the tone for the evening! We then moved the party into the tent for the reception which under the twinkling lights was gorgeous! Our guests were raving about the venue all day/night long! If you are looking for a hidden and enchanted botanical garden, you will not be disappointed!
The Value - We truly felt the value was more than worth it! A lot is more inclusive than you think, and although there are additional fees (open bar, security, some additional decor, etc.), there are many other venues out there that charge for way more! We felt everything was very transparent from the beginning which we really appreciated. There is also a planner that you are assigned (who is also your day of coordinator), along with a bridal assistant to help you!
The Staff (especially Morgan) - We have nothing but amazing things to say about everyone that works at Botanica! Everyone was wonderful - so helpful, friendly, and truly the best to work with! But we can't say enough amazing things about Morgan!! She was AMAZING to work with! We feel so lucky to have had her on our journey, and couldn't have felt more comfortable and supportive throughout the process. She was so communicative, always checking in on us, and always there to guide and help answer any questions we had! We never felt alone! She paid attention to detail, and made us feel so special on our wedding day! Everything was perfect!!
From start to finish we'd do it all over again! Thank you again to all of the Botanica staff (with a special shoutout to Morgan)!

So grateful we had our wedding at Botanica. It was a dream come true, and I knew the minute we saw the waterfall that it was the venue for us. Trademark has a very professional team that will do its best to make sure your day goes above what you wanted. Despite the ups and downs that will always come with planning a big event, when it came down to it, the day was truly perfect. I appreciated the all-inclusive package Trademark offered. They provided a lot of what we needed in their package and only splurged on a few extra items to further customize our day. Trademark has a very professional team, and we loved having Mikaela as our planner. She was very intentional with us and dedicated to making the planning process seamless.

This venue reflected our style and personality well so it felt fitting and we knew at first sight that this was the venue for us. It's not too glamorous but is naturally beautiful with all the greenery and trees. It fitted our bohemian/classic mix style very well. The ceremony location with the bond and the rocks is gorgeous. We had our wedding in August and everyone was concerned about the sun and the heat but by the time our ceremony began the sun wasn't at its peak and there was plenty of shade with the trees.
Our wedding coordinator, Natalia, from Trademark Venues, was amazing and we are so grateful to her and the wait staff for making the day run so smoothly.

My now husband and I got married at Botanica this month and absolutely loved it. This venue is absolutely beautiful and you feel like you are in your own little oasis. I had so many guest share that Botanica was one of the most beautiful venues they have been to.
Trademark does such a nice job attending to guest and organizing the entire wedding day. Morgan Costa was our wedding coordinator and she did an amazing job of communicating and having the day flow so beautifully. While she played an important role on our wedding day she was just as helpful with answering all our questions in a timely manner before the big day.
Thank you again for everything :)

I cannot recommend this venue enough!!! They made the entire process so smooth and easy. I know weddings are daunting with cost and options. My husband and I were initially a little skeptical, but Trademark (the company who owns the venue) was a dream. There are so many details and things that need to be coordinated and managed and the team at Botanica took care of every last detail. Morgan was our wedding coordinator and she was a gem! She was kind, patient, and was so incredibly thorough. She made our wedding day an absolute dream! She even helped pin my dress when it ripped on the dance floor. This team goes above and beyond and they made our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. Not to mention, it’s SO BEAUTIFUL! This place was worth it!

Beautiful dream venue. Felt like we were in Hawaii in a tropical oasis! It’s a tropical botanical garden with an amazing pond and waterfall at the ceremony site. To die for. I’d choose this as my wedding venue over and over again.

Botanica was a DREAM wedding venue! All of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue, how well kept all the foliage was, and how amazing the food was. We truly feel like this venue is one of a kind and it really superseded our expectations. Not only was the venue amazing, but Morgan our coordinator is really what made our experience so positive. From the beginning stages of planning she helped to answer all of our questions, and provide suggestions to ensure a smooth wedding day. Day of she BLEW ME AWAY! As a wedding planner myself it is very hard to release control to someone else, and let me tell you we couldn't have been in better hands. She set up everything exactly how we wanted it and paid close attention to detail, she checked in on us and made sure we always had a drink in hand, and made sure that we stayed according to the timeline the entire night. At the end of the night she had all of our decor packed up and ready to put in our cars which made the end of the night clean up so quick and easy for my family and friends. All of the staff (bartenders, bridal suite staff, servers) were incredibly helpful and nice and made sure the evening went off without a hitch!
My only feedback is that there were more required fees than what we were told during our booking process for security, bartenders, food tasting etc. They wouldn't provide us with a proposal before booking, which is why we were unaware of these fees before booking. Morgan our coordinator was quick to loop us in on these fees early in the process so that it was not a surprise when it came time for final payment, however it would have been nice to know about these fees prior to booking.
All in all we are so happy with our decision to book our wedding at Botanica, and we highly recommend them! Lots of options for decor are included, or available for upgrades which makes it feel like a one stop shop. THANK YOU!

My husband and I got married on July 14th at Botanica. It was such an amazing experience. The trademark venues team helped us every step of the way and took care of everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day because everything went perfectly. Morgan was an amazing event planner and an overall wonderful person! Botanica is so beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better location or wedding team. Everyone was so professional and helpful.

Chad and I had our wedding at the Botanica venue on July 2nd and it was the most perfect celebration with over 170 of our closest friends and family!
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! ☺️

Botanica is the most incredible venue! Not only are the grounds and facilities an absolute dream (multiple guests noted that this was the most beautiful venue that they had ever been to!), but the Trademark staff were kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the planning process. We worked with Morgan as our coordinator and she was the absolute best! She was patient with my questions and made sure everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch! I cannot recommend this venue enough!

We had the most perfect wedding day at Botanica on 8/27/22 with the help of our amazing planner, Jes C. She was so helpful from the beginning of our planning process to the very end and was just an absolute gem to have with us on Saturday. Jes and the whole Trademark staff were so kind and all of our family and friends raved about how smoothly our day went. We also have to recommend DJ Greg from their preferred vendors list - when I say our dance floor was nonstop... just bop after bop!! Truly a day we will never forget and we would recommend Botanica in a heartbeat.

This review is FAR overdue & the Botanica/Trademark Staff deserved more from me because we had the most amazing experience working with their team. Stephanie W. goes above and beyond to make sure you feel confident your special day will go smoothly, not missing one single detail or item. Stephanie was so great to work with providing insight and advice leading up to our big day and made sure I felt calm, cool, and collected the day of. The Botanica staff were professional, engaging, and friendly. The food was amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was! They did not feel like they were in Oceanside but rather at a destination wedding somewhere tropical. The whole day was perfect and was better than I could have imagined thanks to the work done by Trademark and Stephanie. I highly recommend Botanica to any potential couple. It is beautiful, unique, well-kept and provides a memorable environment for both you and your guests. I wish we could do it all over again! THANK YOU TRADEMARK!

This place is absolutely magical. The team here really helps you not worry about a single thing on your wedding day. The food was so great, people are still talking about our appetizers!
This whole venue is amazing. I will forever be grateful I got married here! Morgan was an amazing coordinator! Future brides, you will not be disappointed.

Botanica is truly a magical wedding venue. We had our wedding here on Sunday 7/3/22, and I don’t have enough good things to say about it! 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. Could not recommend Botanica or Trademark Venues more for your wedding day!

Many years ago (before it was known as Botanica) I attended a wedding here and vowed that I would come back with the love of my life someday. Since it had been so long and we’re from Vegas, it took me a while to find it again. When we came to tour the venue, it was no doubt love at first sight for the both of us! My husband and I got married here on 6/6/22 and it was one word: MAGICAL. The venue itself is nestled in a tropical paradise with natural spring bed waterfalls and ponds… you are literally surrounded by the sounds of nature. The pictures they have here honestly do not do Botanica any justice— you have to see it to believe it! Our guests came in from all over the world and they were just completely in awe about how beautiful and stunning the venue was and how everything was set up. There’s the best of both worlds: plenty of indoor and outdoor space with winding pathways in between. It’s like a tranquil little oasis, a piece of heaven on Earth... it WILL take your breath away. All of our guests kept telling us that Botanica was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been to!
Our coordinator was AMY (who was assigned to us last minute) and honestly, it felt like it was meant to be because she couldn’t have been more perfect. The wedding could not have been a success without her. Everything from start to finish was SEAMLESS. She listened intently to all of my requests and knew what to do right away. I consider myself quite a perfectionist, so Amy really exceeded my expectations by the way she meticulously handled everything with such thoughtfulness and efficiency. Our family was so impressed with the way she coordinated our wedding, even though we expected something to go wrong— literally everything came out PERFECT, I’m still stunned by it. I’m so grateful for Amy, as well as Trademark Venues, for creating such a dream come true wedding that we get to hold in our hearts for the rest of our lives!

Our wedding planner and coordinator Morgan is absolutely incredible! She has made the whole experience seamless from beginning to end. Morgan is quick to respond to questions and is incredibly detail oriented. Her attention to detail, high communication, personality, and patience instilled trust and we are so grateful!
We would also like to praise that everything from the upkeep of the venue, to catering staff, to day of assistant, to quality of food was impeccable and perfect.
We highly recommend Morgan and Trademark Venues!

My partner and I are one week post wedding day and still reminiscing on how amazing our experience was with our coordinator + planner, Morgan (included when booking the venue), and the whole day at Botanica. From the moment we stepped foot at the venue we knew it was where we wanted to get married and Trademark made it super easy from day one as we began planning. Morgan was so fantastic with our vision and all of my obsessive and Type A tendencies while we prepared for our wedding day, but words fail me when it comes to the actual day-of coordination. Morgan was instrumental down to every last detail to make the day seamless and perfect (and constantly tending to us throughout the day), and we can't thank her enough for allowing us to be actual guests at our own wedding. She had great recommendations and provided many planning resources along the way as we were putting together our team of vendors, and the best part is that we came out of the whole experience with new friendships too! Our guests couldn't stop raving about our venue and all the details and decor (many of which were already included with the venue cost). Botanica is the perfect slice of tropical paradise tucked away in Oceanside and the ultimate hidden gem. We had many folks asking us how we even found this venue in the first place, and there's not one spot that doesn't photograph like an absolute dream. We had the best time at our wedding (and wish we could relive it), but are so thankful to be able to cherish the memories made at this unforgettable space.

My husband and I got married at Botanica through Trademarks Venues in March 2022! When we started looking at venues, we knew we wanted a hawaiian wedding and our goal was to bring Hawaii to CA and this venue checked all the boxes for us. From the day we signed the contract until the wedding day, everything was very smoothed and organized. I really appreciated that I could email our coordinator to ask questions along the way and the day of they did a great job of taking care of everything so that we didn't have to stress! Our wedding was the hawaiian wedding of our dreams! Many of our guests commented on how they felt that they had been transported to Hawaii for the evening. A Big thank you to Botanica and our coordinator Morgan for making our vision come to life. Also the food is amazing! You must get the empanadas and squash ravioli.

We had our wedding at Botanica last month and it was absolutely breathtaking and magical. 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!!

Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our wedding/wedding venue was! Botanica ended up being a really amazing choice for us. 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! They're also really knowledgeable about other vendors as well.

This venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff of the venue was incredibly helpful. My wife and I had our ceremony and reception here and never stopped receiving compliments on the venue.
The venue also included all the caterers, day-of staff, bartenders, and of course our coordinator. Our coordinator Morgan made our lives easy when planning this wedding. She was always fast, responsive, and thorough in her emails and was able to help us out in every way to make sure we had what we needed when the big day came. Morgan was a delight to work with! The coordinator along with the rest of the staff were professional, quick with service, and never missed a beat. I would recommend Botanica for any wedding.

I couldn't have asked for a more magical wedding and the Trademark Venues team was a HUGE part of that! My coordinators, Stephanie and Jeselle, where THE BEST!
They helped me plan everything, from beginning to end; I felt more than prepared for the wedding well in advanced, so I got to just be excited for it in the few weeks beforehand, instead of stressed about any details!
Like all big events, there were a couple of mishaps, but the Trademark team handled them perfectly so I could continue to have a great night! Stephanie went out, personally, to get more Vodka when we ran out of it (I didn't even know we ran out until the next day)!
The food was also excellent! We enjoyed the tasting event that Trademark does, it helped us make a mostly informed decision, although not all of their dishes were offered at it. Many people said the food was the best they've had at any wedding! I have to recommend the Vegan Coconut Curry; we had it at our vegan option, but looking back we should have made it 1/2 of our main options! The service was excellent, even though I later found out they were short staffed (due to Covid I'm sure)!
We used the entire venue, which I think it less common, but we had cocktail hour in their tent and the rest of our wedding in the main lawn area! It made it so our guests got to see the whole venue and they couldn't stop complimenting ow gorgeous it was!
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience and I would recommend this venue and the Trademark team to anyone I know!

I had my wedding at Botanica on July 17 2021 and absolutely recommend this venue as my wedding day turned out perfect!!! The Trademark team has tons of experience with many venues, Botanica being the newest of their venues. Even though Botanica is newer, the experience and professionalism are at the same level as all other Trademark venues. If anything, I think it's even better because everything is brand spanking new and the property could not be any more stunning! All of my guests could not stop raving about it and saying they felt like they were in Hawaii with all the tropical flora on the grounds. Stephanie Wattigny was my event coordinator and she made the day flow perfectly from start to finish. Thank you Botanica for making my wedding my favorite day ever!!!
