Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens

hidden gem, driving to the venue you would never imagine there would be such a beautiful tropical style garden in the area. Elle gave us our tour and she was so sweet and helpful, she answered all of my questions not only the day of the tour but the weeks following. Once we booked with GT we were introduced to our day of coordinator, Charnel. I am sure all of the coordinators are great, but Charnel was simply the best! She is sweet, ORGANIZED, helpful and so very patient with us! I asked about a million questions leading up to the wedding and I know I asked the same questions repeatedly, she was quick to respond and always happy to answer my questions. Our rehearsal was on Valentines day, which just so happened to be one of the worst storms in the San Diego area in quite some time. Roads were flooding, the wind was knocking trees over....stressful to say the least. Charnel was so on top of it, we had to of course re-arrange the rehearsal set-up and move it under the reception tent. Even though we rehearsed in a different area, Charnel walked us through exactly how it would be the next day (assuming we had clear weather which we did) So there was no confusion the day of the wedding. Charnel kept everyone & everything running smoothly the day of the wedding, I am truly grateful to have had her as our coordinator, my husband and I just adore her. As for the wedding experience for us and our guests....it was incredible. Everyone has been gushing about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Everything about our day was perfect and we cannot recommend Grand Traditions enough. They will make the wedding planning process smooth and remove a ton of stress as well as provide a gorgeous venue that your friends and family will love!

cellent food, excellent planning. It was the best day ever , we love this venue and highly recommend it. Damaris & Troy

was patient and answered every question we had in a timely and professional manner. We were then introduced to Amanda. She was an absolute rockstar. She helped us through each step of the planning process and made sure no detail was forgotten. On the day of, my husband and I were able to sit back and relax. The scenery is beautiful and the food was great! Our guests had an incredible time. When we got engaged, everyone told us the wedding planning process would be very stressful. However, we had a great time planning our wedding and were rarely stressed out while working with the Grand Tradition team and Amanda. I highly recommend getting married here!

e options, another additional bar option, different options for ceremony, etc. We had our wedding at the Beverly Mansion and loved the gazebo for our ceremony. If you're booking during the rainy season, do beware that they move ceremony inside to where the reception is, and do not move the tables so it'll be super tight if you have over 100 people. We were really scared of it raining for this reason, so just be conscious of that. We were assigned Alyssa as our coordinator and a few months into it, we were assigned a new coordinator, Lisa. She proved to be really exceptional and answered all of my crazy, control-freak questions without seeming annoyed at all :) We had a few special requests, some were granted, some weren't and that's all fine and we appreciated the efforts. What was so important was that our dogs were allowed as well. The day of, the whole staff was amazing. Lisa had everything set up perfectly and it all went off very smoothly. It's very well oiled machine.

team provides incredible service on the wedding day, and they make sure that the day is as stress-free as possible. We had rain on our wedding day and Sarah and her team made adjustments seamlessly. Our guests and families have not stopped raving about the venue, food, and service. I am so grateful that we chose Grand Tradition because they make their couples' experiences a priority and exemplify excellent service.

food, we got the buffet option and it was done perfectly!

l tropical greenery. We went with Arbor Terrace over the Beverly mansion because it felt more private. The food was fantastic and service was even better. The only downside is that there are no resorts near by.

trol what we wanted to do and was just overall amazing. She took care of all the aspects on the day of the wedding and it was a huge relief for me that I didn't have to do take care of that on my wedding day. Everyone was super attentive and even if we were behind on schedule and even if there was some hiccups I never felt it. When we arrived in the suites, we had champagne, water and tray of cheese and crackers. We were brought our meal and we got to quickly eat before we had to greet and meet everyone who came to our wedding. The whole team was awesome from all the servers as well. This was the perfect venue and I got so many compliments that this was the best wedding my guests have attended. Also, the food was excellent and everyone raved about it. When I went to the tasting myself I was worried the quality might go down for the real event but it didn't!! I highly recommend Grand Tradition and Sarah especially.

we needed for nothing, always reassuring us that she had it taken care of, sending us reminders and keeping us on schedule. She was fantastic. The venue...breathtaking, the staff...courteous, helpful, professional. The food...best I’ve ever had. They paid attention to every detail. Thank you Grand Tradition for giving Julia and I our fairytale dream wedding. Forever Grateful

absolutely perfect and went without any hiccups. She made sure that every thing I needed from the planning portion to the wedding day was met. They even provide a bridal assistant who made sure we were fed and had appetizers and drinks while we took our photos during cocktail hour as well as during the reception. Not To mention the food was absolutely delicious. I am extremely happy that we chose to have our wedding at grand tradition!

more perfect person to help us make our day so wonderful. We also had Danielle who we meet at the food tasting and requested her to help with out wedding as well. Both of these ladies did an outstanding job and we could not have asked for anyone else that could meet their standard of dedication. I will always recommend Grand Tradition's to anyone who wants to find the perfect place to get married or renew their vows.

ed up with us to see if we needed anything, and were generally overall so attentive of both my husband and myself as well as our guests. The venue itself is gorgeous! I had so many guests tell me it was the most beautiful wedding venue that they have been to. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding site :)

hly trained. Trust me choosing a pure wedding venue is the best. You have professionals that know everything about a wedding. Rather than regular servers who are just catering.

ning a wedding at the same time was a hell of a ride. But Amanda, ever patient with me, kept me on track and ensuring every vendor and decision I made would come through the day of. Grand Traditions works like a well-oiled machine... and as many weddings as they have I felt they made my day particularly special and I’m sure they do that for every bride. Not only is the scenery breath-taking... but the staff makes you feel taken care of and supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have envisioned what Grand Traditions made my day into. They are simply the best there is... my sister & maid of honor loved it so much that she’s getting married there next year! If you want a seamless and stressless wedding pick Grand Traditions, you will be so happy you did.

ensure things went smoothly. We meet about 3-4 times. I planned my wedding from Florida and Sarah helped a lot since I was far away. During the event the service and food was raved about by the guest. They especially loved the meat and chocolate fountain. The best thing about grand tradition is that you don't need signs to direct people because there is butler's who assist with every transition. The Bridal assistant is awesome, she delivered food to my sweetheart table and cleaned my dress when I spilled red sauce on it. I would chose Grand Tradition 100 times over for a wedding. You will not be disappointed.

thing was amazing from the food, to the staff, to the scenery! We were truly blessed to have our wedding here. Amanda Cox was our coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL! Amanda really helped us bring our vision to life. She was so patient throughout the wedding planning process and made sure all our needs were met. About a year into the planning process, we found out I was pregnant and Amanda was more than willing to help us have our gender reveal during our wedding day. She even gave us some brilliant ideas for the gender reveal. Amanda always greeted us with a smile and treated our little pup like family too :-) To say I was impressed with Amanda the day of our wedding is an understatement. She truly went above and beyond to create a once in a lifetime experience for us! She made sure we stayed on track with our time in order to do all the things we wanted to the day of. She also made sure the bride and groom got to eat (thank you so much for that!) and ensured that I had plenty of apple cider throughout the day since I couldn't drink :-) Overall, we had a wonderful experience and we do not regret booking at the Grand Traditions one bit!!

throughout the whole wedding planning process that I didn't know what I would do without Alyssa! Grand Tradition was 100% worth the money. They structure everything throughout the wedding planning process to make it as painless and seamless and possible for the bride and groom. They took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day! My guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Shout out to Kevin as well! He was the one who gave us our tour before booking and he was amazing! My dad can be a difficulty person and he handled him with humor and ease - my dad was skeptical before the tour and then completely on board after the tour! Thank you Grand Tradition for making our special day perfect!

e in March and it was absolutely perfect! So many of our guests complimented how beautiful the venue was and were pleasantly surprised by all the scenery and waterfalls. It felt like a destination wedding in our own city :) Our wedding day went so smoothly and stress-free thanks to all the work the staff and our coordinators did. I recommend Grand Tradition 100%! Our dream wedding became a reality here!

nning a wedding, but having a venue that's transparent with pricing, and having an incredible staff to support you throughout the process and on the big day, is worth every penny. They've got weddings down from easy to understand planning forms to providing final touches such as the cake stand, table numbers, ring bearer pillow, etc at no extra charge. The venue is a little remote with the area not having much and we were warned about the potential lack of Uber/Lyft drivers, however, our guests were so impressed, it didn't sound like they had any problems driving with many coming 1.5-2 hrs away. There are many great Airbnb's in the area as well. Grand Tradition gave us a beautiful wedding and our guests thought we had spent something in the 6-digits, which was totally not the case, but we are so happy they even had that impression. Our wedding was held at the Beverly Mansion with the ceremony at their newer Compass Garden site. It was awesome that we got the best of both worlds with the beautiful lake grounds, and then the intimate, lush tropical scenery and waterfall for the ceremony. We had 18 tables (150 guests) at the Crystal Ballroom, but everyone was comfortable, and not to mention the large dance floor too. The buffet option was great as our guests were able to go for seconds or thirds. The FOOD was a huge highlight to the experience as well. The salmon was moist and not fishy, and their prime rib was perfectly cooked as well. We got compliments on everything down to the salad and ravioli. Alyssa, our coordinator, was a true MVP. She was beyond helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process and was our go-to on any wedding cultures or common traditions or trends we didn't know about. She totally had my back when I got too drunk too and made sure I was hydrated and had food in my stomach. What a sweetheart!!! She was a perfect communicator throughout the day and verified the details that were in our plan as they came up in case we were feeling any changes or if guests said otherwise. Lisa was another coordinator that helped us in times when Alyssa wasn't available and we were lucky to have her as additional support. We were in a panic and didn’t have bobby pins or hair spray and Lisa got us some super quickly. Lastly, Camarin our bridal assistant was so sweet and helpful and even thought to give me napkins to hide in my bouquet in case I started to ugly cry during the ceremony. Sad it's all over, but so glad Grand Tradition's garden and restaurant are open to the public for us to come visit for years to come.

lking about how gorgeous it was. Would definitely recommend to couples looking for an almost all inclusive venue!

he day gives me chills. The team was totally organized and anything we needed we received. Kalani is the best coordinator and I truly believe she was assigned to our wedding for a purpose. She really understood our needs, she made us feel comfortable and we left feeling like we made a new friend. She was courteous, professional, loving and this day wouldn't have been the same if she was not our coordinator. This venue is AMAZING, I highly recommend checking it out, I promise you will not regret it.

this place to anyone who’s looking for a venue that’s affordable and amazing! Thank you so much for making my day perfect!!

nel really helped make our day feel like OURS. The whole package that Grand Tradition provides was unlike anything we had seen before. Would definitely recommend!

o accommodate my needs, and THANK GOD for that situation falling thru. I was able to have the wedding of my DREAMS at Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens! From the moment we stepped foot in the venue, I was in LOVE! I initially was going to have my wedding in the mansion, however after seeing Arbor Terrace, I was sold! The staff was more than accommodating and understanding with all my visions. The way they communicate with you throughout the planning process is so personal. From the bridal faire, to the food tasting, Every little detail made everything so memorable!! 😁The day of my wedding was so organized and on point! If there was ANY issues, I knew nothing about it! I was truly impressed! I wasn’t rushed at all! The fact that everything is done in a timeline form, lets you know exactly what should be happening and when. I wish I could do it allllll over again. Alyssa stayed in close contact with all my vendors making sure no balls were dropped! Matter of fact, if it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have had a wedding cake that day. Lol. My baker called me saying that she just received a call from Alyssa confirming my cake delivery and she had my date on the 27th, rather than the 26th (although we definitely confirmed my date during each meeting). Everything was confirmed and my cake was delivered right on time....thank you Alyssa 😘! With me designing and planning my WHOLE wedding myself, from the decor, to the music, to the guest dress code, Alyssa, my coordinator went over and beyond to make sure my wedding day was exactly how I envisioned it being! My wedding will be the stepping stone to begin my business and Alyssa made sure all my decor was placed in the correct spots! She made sure all the guests were comfortable, and she made me feel like a princess making sure I was ok throughout the night. Alyssa is AMAZING!!!!! I am very much a perfectionist, and this was no challenge for her. I wouldn’t have traded her for the world!!! She kept in very close contact with my Maid of Honor throughout the night to ensure everything was PERFECT! Would I recommend Grand Tradition?? Well, if you are looking for a GORGEOUS, accommodating, fairy tail, PROFESSIONAL, flexible, welcoming, stress free venue with AMAZING food... then YES!!!!!!! They made my Wedding Day Unforgettable!!!! Thank you Grand Tradition!!!

ce to start as husband and wife!
