We were married at Grand Tradition Arbor Terrace on 2/15/2019 and we could not be happier with our venue selection!!! We toured several beautiful venues in northern San Diego county but once we toured GT I was totally sold. The venue is a total...
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!

Getting married at Grand Tradition was one of the first, and easiest, decisions we made about our wedding, and we couldn't be more glad we did.  From our first meeting to our grand exit at the end of the night, Grand Tradition couldn't have ma...
de it easier to plan and execute our big day, and we truly can't say enough good things about our experience. The staff was friendly, helpful, experienced and courteous, the location was (and is) absolutely stunning (and private- no noise pollution), and the food was delicious. (One DJ we talked to said it was "the best wedding food" he's had working weddings.) Everyone told us to expect that things would go wrong on our wedding day- but that didn't happen at Grand Tradition. Everything happened effortlessly, seamlessly. Even small adjustments that the two of us asked to make the day of were done quickly and without hesitation.  Truly, there is no better place to get married. It's the perfect place for your wedding. We loved every minute of ours and wish we could do it all over again.

I have just recently had my wedding at Grand Tradition Estate and Garden this past January. There are so many great things to say about this venue, I’m not sure where to start. I’ll start off by saying, as an engaged couple, it can be very stre...
ssful during the wedding planning process and a lot of money. One of the best decisions I made was choosing this as my venue for multiple reason. First of all, I fell in love with the beauty of this place. From the moment I watched their virtual tour we fell in love - absolutely gorgeous! There are two locations to choose from. I did the Arbor Terrace because I liked the outdoor tropical garden/waterfall vibe for the ceremony as well as the tented reception as an idea. Like I said above I got married in January (in the middle of winter) and still had our outdoor ceremony. It was clear skies and moderately warm weather. The tent was huge and very elegant with heat lamps if ever too cold, but we didn’t even need them, the weather was great! Now more about the planning process. The staff is very friendly and goes over and beyond to help you plan your perfect wedding! They ease your stress and help you along the way planning everything from table set up and colors, to decor, to ceremony order, to timeline, to helping decide your dinner that they cater! That’s one less vendor you’ll need! With your price, you get a hands-on wedding coordinator to help plan along the way, a dinner they provide to try the food, catered food on your wedding day, bridal suites for three hours to get ready, Champagne greeting to all your guest upon arrival, champagne during the toast, and of course the team to help on wedding day. All in one package. Speaking of price, another huge reason I loved this venue, you get a lot for your buck. Another reason, unlike most venues where you have to pay 50% now and 50% later, they’re budget friendly process has you pay smaller portions 4 times a year. All in all, the staff is amazing and keeps you stress free, both venues are gorgeous, in my opinion the price is affordable and easy to maintain over the time to plan your big day! I recommend to all new engaged couples!

ess free! It’s beautiful, they treat you like royalty. From the food tasting to the day of, everything was so impressive! They come with basically a full service including a day of wedding coordinator, a bridal assistant, waiters, cake cutting and serving, bartenders. They serve their own food and their food is AMAZING. I feel like no matter what you choose from their menu, you can’t go wrong. Our guests were raving about the food. I dream about it almost every week! Just doing the food tasting - it was like a royal banquet! So much fun. Dogs are allowed to join the ceremony, big plus to have my baby there but he couldn’t stay with us for the reception They have very nice bride/groom suites, champagne is served throughout the day

We cannot praise Grand Tradition enough for making our wedding absolutely perfect, especially considering we had so many things stacked against us. From the beginning, we fell in love with the gorgeous gardens and the indoor tented reception sp...
ace. It was the first venue we explored, and we knew right away that it was meant to be (but as good wedding shoppers we still went around and looked at other ones just to be sure). There were several reasons Grand Tradition stood out for us: 1) it is a genuinely beautiful venue, meaning that you really don't need to have too many decorations/floral pieces, which means huge savings. 2) they come with their own coordinator, which means you don't have to worry about your coordinator not understanding the flow or intricacies of the venue and you know it will run smoothly. 3) they have over 30 years in business, which especially since COVID, was extremely important for us as several vendors have closed/are unstable and we wanted to ensure we had reputable and strong vendors working with us. And this 3rd point came into play multiple times as our original coordinator assigned by Grand Tradition (who was amazing) moved out of state a month before our wedding. However you never would have known it because Grand Tradition was very quick to notify us and assigned another coordinator who immediately communicated with us to ensure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. And despite our best efforts, we had several last minute guest drop-outs due to Omnicron and then several more guests (including children even though this was an adult-only event) showed up at the wedding unannounced. What is normally a nightmare situation for any wedding turned out so smooth-- Molly, our amazing stand-in coordinator handled the last minute guest changes with grace and extreme efficiency. I kept bracing myself for multiple questions from our coordinator as to where we would want these last-minute guests placed but nope, she just took care of business! We received so many compliments from our guests for how beautiful the venue was, how efficient the entire wedding was, how delicious the food was (which was very important to us), and how well the staff took care of us. We were extremely pleased with Grand Tradition and would absolutely refer them to anyone looking for a beautiful, smoothly run wedding. They are truly passionate about what they do and it shows in every aspect of their work. And because I was looking for this information when I was looking at venues-- our wedding was in January and there were high wind advisories (75mph) in SD county the day of, but we did not get any wind at all. The weather was a very beautiful, sunny 68 degrees in the daytime, which dropped to about 55 degrees at nighttime. Arbor Terrace had several heaters and I felt totally comfortable running around in a very skimpy dress even though I normally get cold very easily. (Also protip: GET THE ICE CREAM BAR ADD-ON. Literally everyone was in love with it, it didn't matter that it was in January, people were going back for third and fourth servings!)

was great. Lindsey Rea was the one who showed us around and really sold us on the place! They have a large brochure with options for every budget. After we booked, they got us set up for the tasting night which is like a mock wedding reception! It was super fun and we got to try a large portion of the menu including the cocktail drinks they offer. Our coordinator, Amanda Cox, was amazing and took care of us that whole night making sure she was there if we had any questions. We had several meetings with Amanda where she went through every detail of our wedding. She was very thorough and made sure to give advice on our suggestions based on her experience. She was super helpful every step of the way! They have a worksheet with all the details and it made it super easy to plan. When the pandemic hit, The Grand Tradition and Amanda were so accommodating and helpful through the whole ordeal of having to rebook and replan the wedding. They were so supportive and understanding through everything. Amanda made sure both the rehearsal and day of the wedding went smoothly. She's very organized and on top of everything you need. She was always there in an instant if there were any issues or questions anyone had. She made it easy for the people I had brought to help me set up, she already knew everything and was able to coordinate with them to get things done. She was by our side basically the entire night making sure my husband and I had everything we needed. I very highly recommend Amanda as your day of coordinator! One of my favorite things they had were the bridal assistants! The bridal assistants were so helpful to have and were very nice! They took so much stress off to have them there anytime I needed help with little things. I wouldn't have wanted my wedding to be anywhere else! I highly recommend having your wedding here, I had great experiences every step of the way.

The venue provides a coordinator to help navigate the crazy and make your vision come to life! I was assigned to Lisa. While I am sure they are all great and maybe I have some bias, but she gets 5/5 stars in every category! She is prompt in replying with emails, walks you through timelines/vendors/song choices/etc., she made my crazy living champagne wall become a reality and she just did everything! Unfortunately my cake was not delivered on my wedding day. She came up with quick solutions and because she had caught they had the wrong date and emailed the bakery, we can now get a full refund! Thank you!!! They have so many staff on the wedding day. We did a lot of DIY projects. On the day of the rehearsal, we dropped off all of our decor and the staff set everything up to perfection! They have a bridal assistant that literally follow the bride and groom making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day! She knew how to bustle my dress and helped my photographer with pictures. She was also so calm and pleasant! At the end of the night, the staff packed up and loaded all of our decor in our truck.

Tradition made the transition so easy (especially after hearing many others horror stories.) Through our journey with the venue we worked with Amanda, Charnel and then Mikayla for our big day. Everyone was wonderful and Mikayla creating a day that felt so seamless and stress free for us. A few of favorite things about the venue: -The seclusion- you step into a tropical garden that feels like a destination wedding outside of San Diego area- our guests were in awe! -The ease of planning- Grand Tradition has weddings down to a science but leaves room for customization. Planning a wedding by myself was daunting but made so much easier when so many of the details were already included in the wedding packages including the delicious food! -The people- From our initial tour to the planning to the day of- our experience was top notch and our guests would say the same. Every one was so kind and Mikayla was especially patient with all of my emails and random changes! The worst part of our wedding is that we couldn’t make the day last forever!

Having a coordinator and a day of assistant was extremely helpful as well as having the staff there to pack up your stuff at the end of the night was such a HUGE help. I can’t say enough positive things about Grand Tradition. I love it here and I’m glad I got married here. My guests loved the ambiance and food as well.

hat we could share with family that did not live locally, and treating us to lunch, our decision was EASILY made. Once planning began, our coordinator Sarah was a godsend. Everyone kept skeptically asking us how planning was going, with the typical assumption that planning a wedding is stressful... but truthfully-- every time we were asked how it was going, our response was always "Great!". The actual wedding however, was by far better than anything we could have imagined. Our guests all felt that they were in Hawaii-- and the recommended shuttle service made attendance easy. Sarah and staff worked so hard to make sure that the day was perfect. I was told before the wedding that no one has a perfect wedding day-- but we feel that we did. If something went wrong, we didn't know about it-- and it was handled. Sarah made us feel comfortable and truly lived by her word that there was nothing we could ask that would be too extreme. We wish we could relive this day every weekend, but instead we will just make frequent trips to GT to have brunch and remember our special day!

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.

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.

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.

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??

pecifically so your guests don't see you until you walk down the aisle to the peak outs by the water fall for your photographer to capture that amazing picture - everything has truly been thought out and well planned for to host a wedding. I thought their prices were very competitive to other venues when you list out all of the perks to get included with the venue cost, Chivari chairs are typically an upgrade at most venues, bridal assistants and ushers are not usually provided, having an on-site coordinator who helps you plan every detail is again something that you out source at any other venue. I would almost consider this an all-inclusive venue with how much great necessities are provided! From cake stands to easels to gift boxes, all of those little things add up when you have to purchase them yourselves, and a lot of times you don't have a use for them afterwards, so it is great that GT gives you the option to use their equipment and décor! Charnel was our day of assistant and she was fantastic, I would HIGHLY recommend requesting for her as she was phenonmal. But every staff member has done a million weddings so they are all so knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to executing your wedding day. Overall amazing facility and would definitely recommend anyone to tour this place as you have to see it in person to truly grasps its beauty!

crease (LOL). When it was time to finally book the venue, I promised my parents that I would look at other places because of the cost of GT. Granted, I have expensive taste and there were only 2 other venues that SLIGHTLY compared to GT's beauty, and they weren't that much cheaper. I figured GT is worth every extra penny than the other venues and, after my parent's acceptance, booked GT 14 months in advance! My first coordinator was Amanda who was very friendly and energetic. She learned about my wedding quickly although it's not typical to meet them so soon. About half-way in they changed my coordinator from Amanda to Alyssa. I was very skeptical since I had built a friendship with Amanda and requested to have a manager on the sidelines while I transitioned to Alyssa (which they accommodated) SHE. WAS. AMAZING! (Carrie - you're amazing too!) I felt as if I was her only bride - she remembered not only wedding details but personal details about myself that I had mentioned. She knew my wedding details as if they were her own and always greeted me with a smile. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic! Every meeting with her was like meeting with a friend- she made me feel welcome and at home. She helped me fight for a few very unique requests that, without her persistence, I'm sure would have been declined by management. I've worked with a few coordinators at friend's weddings at other venues and I can honestly say she's the best I've met and I'm extremely thankful for her. The rest of the staff was always very welcoming, complimentary, and treated me like a Queen. I had a couple hiccups along the way for things that were out of my control (remodeling 3 months before my wedding? EEEK) but every issue they resolved with flying colors, quickly, and with a smile (even though I was definitely a bridezilla). If booking this venue for it's looks isn't enough, then book them based on the staff. You're in EXCELLENT hands and they will make sure that no matter what, no matter how crazy the request, they will make your dream wedding a reality. The upkeep of the venue is outstanding. You'll never see a dead flower or a dry spot in the grass (and I've visited GT for every season). Grand Tradition is by far the most beautiful venue for a wedding and what I like to call "the happiest place on earth".

From creating my signature cocktail to setting up extra appointments just so we could practice our first dance on-site - everyone was so flexible, and paid so much attention to detail, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding team! Their banquet staff, receptionists, parking attendants - and awesome sound technician - everyone deserves a shout out!! (just as one example of their dedicated service, our coordinator Kelsey spent 30+ minutes picking out the exact shades we could turn the LED at different parts of the reception - and that's just the tip of the iceberg) We had provided GT with 20+ boxes of various decorations; everything was set up perfectly. I honestly couldn't imagine anyone else having this level of perfection without hiring a professional decorator! On our actual wedding day, we never had to worry about a thing! Our party got there a tad late (it happens), and Kesley & team were able to adjust the schedule, and juggled all the moving pieces - so that we didn't even have to think about it. And on top of all her coordinator duties, Kelsey came up to us every 10 minutes to check in (and bring us a drink)!!! And, of course, the grounds are just gorgeous - all of our guests were blown away by how scenic all of the sites looked - and everyone was raving about the food.

overall we had a reasonable experience with her. This is an absolute beautiful venue but has some room for improvements. Pro’s The two Venues available, Arbor Terrace and Beverly Mansion are amazing and are picture perfect all around the grounds. The overall business procedures, tour introduction and coordination with vendors completed by the venue was well structured. Cons The venue coordinators do not have work cell phones and can be difficult to get a hold of at times. We had to continuously review the statement/invoice to ensure the changes we requested were applied correctly and discounts offered were included and reflected on the statement. If we didn’t look carefully it could have been rather costly. We had over 50 more seats put out during the ceremony than we requested and discussed with our coordinator. This triggered everyone to gather on one side and made it rather uneven which wasn’t great for pictures and video. The staff hired for the wedding are generally very young. In our opinion the work could have easily been done with 50% less workers if they hired a more mature/adult staff. Another wedding was being held at Arbor Terrance and several of our guests told us after the wedding they were directed to the wrong venue. We paid the venue for an extra hour but toward the end the staff wasn’t around nearly as much to help and we found ourselves looking for staff. There is no online payment system, so you have to call in your credit card every time or send a check for payment. Again, overall we loved the venue and would not have selected another location. We made several add-ons (horse and carriage, compass garden ceremony, cocktail hour, additional hour, chocolate fountain, etc.) at a high price so I think it’s important to point out the areas which could have been improved and that you may want to be cautious of after selecting this venue.

They are very experienced and organized; if you follow their help/advice, your wedding will be just like you dreamed: no stress or worries, especially the day of. 100% recommend, and we can’t wait until we plan our next big celebration there!

Grand Traditions was mine and my husband's first choice in venues for our wedding. I had spotted it before we were engaged and had to see it. My husband fell in love with it almost the second we walked the Arbor Terrace. It was perfect for us! ...
The Arbor Terrace is a beautiful, tropical site inside of Grand Traditions. It has waterfalls and gorgeous scenery and plant life. Not to mention the staff! We had such great experiences with the staff members. Katie And Carrie were fantastic with helping to get everything planned and situated. Carrie got us started and set up, then Katie took care of us from then on. She was always there to answer questions and was very helpful and completely on top of all of our little details (such as making sure A1 sauce was provided on the wedding day). Thank you all so much for making our day so special!

LOCATION: We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with 150 of our closest family and friends at the Avenue of the Arts Hotel. We rented out the entire ballroom on the second floor for the party and the ballroom on the first floor for the ren...
ewal of vows. That way, we used the staircase as an extension to our aisle so our entourage could march to a longer song. All our guests loved the beautiful, sophisticated and modern decorations and atmosphere of the hotel. Super clean and absolutely five-star status! The Avenue of the Arts Hotel opened up the boardroom for us so all our performers and entourage could have a place to put their belongings, change of clothes and any other necessities. Beyond that the staff put water, mirrors, and even hanger racks because they anticipated (we didn't even have to ask) what we would need. STAFF: We could not have asked for a better staff to host our silver wedding anniversary! Everyone from the front desk to the event planners was super accommodating and friendly! The staff was always smiling and always willing to help. They made everything we wanted happen and reduced any stress we may have had to get things done. When you only get one day to celebrate a momentous occasion the Avenue of the Arts staff took great ownership of that responsibility and opportunity to make it a day and night to remember! FOOD: We had a carving station, salad, pasta and desserts. The food was first class and we never ran out. Dinner was on-time and everyone loved the buffet style. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Our guests were treated great! There was no hassle in getting our parking validated and there was no confusion on where the party was. There was adequate signs everywhere to direct our guests. It felt like we rented out the entire hotel as there were no other parties there that night. That is super important! They booked one party and took great care of every single detail!

te condition! We got married here on May-18-2014 and I was so very happy with just about everything! Ashley was our wedding coordinator (a wedding coordinator comes with the package, super helpful) She was great! The food was amazing, we are still getting complements. The venue is jaw dropping gorgeous! There are two things I did not like about the venue, they both can be easily fixed. If you decide on this venue (you will be happy if you do) be specific about two things: First, make sure that they keep your guest book/picture out the entire wedding! They put ours away after the ceremony and we didn't even get half of our guest to sign it. That was a major disappointment. Second, we had pom-pom balls for the aisle. They brought them up after the ceremony and set them on the buffet table. . . that was perfectly fine but after dinner was over they closed up the area for the buffet and threw the pom-pom balls away. We paid for those and had some people that wanted to take them home, its not for them to choose what to put in the trash, that's for me to decide. Besides those two things (which are a super easy fix) this place is wonderful! They do an remarkable job, have an incredible staff, and made our day perfect! I would definitely refer them to a friend, family member, or stranger! They were genuinely marvelous!

The Grand Tradition is SO gorgeous! They actually have two venues on the property. The first one is the Estate venue where it is more of a Victorian style; however, very tastefully done and put together. This venue also includes the heart shape...
d pond area to get married at and so much more. They do package deals that include food only I do believe. They have preferred vendors to choose from but is an additional cost. The second part of the venue at the Grand Tradition is a more tropical feel with a tented area for the reception, they have a little waterfall area which is really nice for photos. You can also have the wedding ceremony by the waterfall as well. Both venue options have a groom and bridal suite area which are really roomy and nice. They have a lot of options, but are also on the pricey end of things. Nevertheless, very beautiful venue though.

We got married at the Grand Tradition - Arbor Terrace Venue in March 2014. Finding a venue in San Diego area can be a hard thing to do. Everything is crazy expensive and it doesn't include much. When we were first told about the Grand Traditio...
n, I was hesitant due to the pricing, but in comparison to other venues, and when you take stock of what it includes, I would say its pretty good value for your money. The first thing you need to know is that the grounds are absolutely breathtaking! Better in person than the pictures even! They have 3 different "venues" full of amazing gardens and features. We chose the Arbor Terrace - it was exactly the type of lush outdoor garden space I was searching for. Next is when you get married there, it includes a wedding coordinator. Now if your organized and ambitious like me you probably don't care as much, but let me tell you - it makes a BIG difference on the day! Our coordinator Ashley took care of all the arrangements with the venders regarding set up, arrival times, overall run sheet. It was SO nice to show up and be able to just enjoy everything! Besides the planning help, beautiful backdrops, and included live piano music, the Grand Tradition has the absolute BEST wedding food!!! EVERYTHING was delicious!! One of the many highlights from our wedding day! From big cheese and fruit platters and champaign in our bridal suits at arrival, to everything I bought to the rehearsal being set up for us on the day, to them handing out sparklers for our big send off, and everything running ON TIME?! Our wedding was literally PERFECT!! The GT is definitely good value for money and I would recommend the use of their venues to everybody!! Thank you Ashley for everything - we are so grateful!!

Great location - there's two locations here, you can't go wrong with either. I just have hesitations about the coordinator/bridal assistant. She seemed to not prioritize or want to help me if I weren't there in person asking her questions. That...
was really sad and hurtful. Also, she was really anxious on the wedding day, which didn't help me stay calm at all. The bridal assistant forgot to bustle my dress on the wedding day so I couldn't do my first dance.. Also, the venue seemed to be more business-focused. I get that, but sometimes they seem to have hefty fees for things like adding on another hour at the venue or adding on the horse/carriage option. Overall, really appreciated the venue though, so I would highly recommend it to other brides! It's beautiful

ding venue, all of the staff really know exactly what they're doing. Ashley was our coordinator and she was really helpful (especially on the day of). The food was pretty good and the horse and carriage is definitely a must (though it costs a pretty penny). Overall I am really satisfied with my ceremony/reception venue. They are a partly-inclusive vendor, so you don't have to worry about as many things (they provide the ceremony space, reception space, ceremony music, coordinator, etc). They're also a pretty good value for the quality of service that they offer. My only complaint would be that the entire event was too short and therefore too rushed. If you decide to go with this vendor (which I recommend), I would suggest buying an extra hour or two if you have the money.

bridal bazaars and bridal shows to expose myself to venues that I wouldn't necessarily find online. After many requests for information, I found that Grand Tradition Estate was not only my favorite venue, but the one that was the most reasonably priced for what you get. Their inclusive packages made everything easy! We ended up booking our wedding at the Beverly Mansion and I have not one regret! Throughout the process I learned that what I thought was our "day of coordinator" actually helped us throughout the entire process. We had several meetings to make sure the staff saw our vision and everything went on without a hitch! It really helps that the venue was designed to be a wedding venue from the start.... everything runs so smoothly! I was a little worried about midway through our planning process because our coordinator was changed twice. But even though we went through 3 coordinators, our final coordinator, Megan, was awesome! She made sure everything was perfect and they accommodated everything we wanted to do to make our day perfect! It was all stunning!
