Green Gables Estate

elped us through the wedding planning process and made sure all bases were covered on wedding day. She communicated with our vendors and made sure to tackle any problems on the day of our wedding before they fell on our plate.

e moment we booked the venue, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and care. Jennifer, our wedding planner from Trademark, deserves special recognition for turning our vision into reality. Her attention to detail, organizational skills, and genuine passion for her work were evident throughout the entire planning process. Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our special day was flawless, from coordinating vendors to managing last-minute changes seamlessly. The venue itself was breathtaking, with its picturesque surroundings and charming ambiance that added a magical touch to our celebration. The staff at Green Gables Wedding Estate were courteous and attentive, making sure our guests felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the event. I can confidently say that choosing Trademark Wedding Venues, especially with Jennifer's expertise, was the best decision we made for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and well-executed everything was. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance with exceptional service, look no further than Trademark Wedding Venues. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

ne single thing on my wedding day because April and her team took care of everything! 10/10 would recommend!

espite booking only 8 months before our wedding, she made everything seamless and stress-free. Trademark Venues offers many perks, including a dedicated coordinator, a great decor catalog, delicious food, BYOB, and assistance with setup and packing. While communication was initially slow, once connected, April addressed all our questions promptly and thoroughly. I will say it could take up to a week to get a response. Overall, we highly recommend Trademark Venues and Green Gables for anyone looking for a memorable wedding experience. It truly was one of the most beautiful venues we've toured. We wish we could do it all over again at this amazing venue!

ative and so kind! She listened to our desires while also offering great suggestions and made the planning process fun. When it rained on our wedding day, Jeselle had multiple back up plans ready, and executed them to make our special day go as smoothly as possible. We are so pleased with our experience. Working with Jeselle & the trademark team was a pleasure!

professional. Shout out to Sage Rodriguez, who was our AMAZING coordinator. We loved her so much!

ly made this venue sparkle was our coordinator, Jeselle! )The venue comes with a wedding coordinator, and we lucked out with Jeselle!). She was super organized, such positive energy, and so helpful throughout the whole process - especially the day of. So grateful to her and Green Gables for helping to make our day the most special, relaxing, and fun!

o book it and canceled our next day of venue tours. I had been looking for something that had a garden feel to it, and Green Gables is definitely that. Everything about it is gorgeous: the grounds with the fountain and tree swing, the bridal salon in the old school house, the groom's speakeasy, and the large reception tent area. Our coordinator, Sage, was absolutely amazing on the day of our wedding. Our guests and bridal party have even commented on how well organized she kept everything. We were all incredibly impressed by her ability to ensure that everything went smoothly. The decorations were exactly the way I had requested, and Sage made sure that all the items that we had brought were safely packed up at the end of the night. The venue offers a large array of decor that you can choose from, as well as the option to bring in some of your own. The catered food was delicious, and the milk and cookies station was a huge hit. There is plenty of parking (although a bit of an uphill walk from most of them), and 6 bathrooms on site, which is more than most venues have. :) Green Gables gave us our dream wedding, and for that we are very grateful.

een Gables intricate architecture and lush gardens created a truly magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented our fairytale themed wedding. The attention to detail, from the charming decor to the ethereal lighting, was absolutely breathtaking. Our fairytale wedding dream came true in this enchanting venue, and I couldn't have asked for a more enchanting backdrop for our special day. <3 Marissa, our event planner, was absolutely phenomenal! Her honest and genuine expertise made our fairytale wedding dream come true! I’m all about communication with understanding and Marissa delivered as she continued to reach out with great information so we were always on the same page leading up to our big day! She answered all of our questions quickly or would direct us to that answer. From the moment we started working together, her commitment to making our day unforgettable was evident. Marissa took the time to truly understand our vision and preferences, guiding us through every step of the planning process with transparency and expertise. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she consistently went the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event was perfectly executed. Her calm and reassuring demeanor helped alleviate any stress, making the planning journey enjoyable. On our wedding day, Marissa’s active commitment to making our day special did not go unnoticed with all of her interactions ensuring that every moment was seamless and filled with wonder. Thanks to Marissa’s dedication and sincerity, our wedding day turned out even more magical than we could have imagined!

antly, the wedding planning process was simply not that stressful because of Green Gables and the Trademark team. We had heard stories from some of our recently-married friends about sleepless nights and endless anxiety in the weeks leading up to the day. Although we obviously worked hard, we never had any doubt that the day would go well (and we are anxious people!). Green Gables and the Trademark team are professional, experienced, and have everything down to a science. Green Gables does several weddings a week during peak season; they are prepared to handle your wedding. You are in good hands with them, and that is invaluable when planning such an important event. Moreover, the venue speaks for itself. While this kind of thing comes down to taste, we received so much positive feedback about how beautiful the venue was. Because there are so many trees and other great features inherent to the venue, you do not need to put a lot of decor in to make it look great. The layout is convenient, the tent is a perfect reception setting, and the ceremony spot is very romantic. They also take care of a lot for you. We did not need to find a caterer, equipment rental company, security service, etc., because Green Gables takes care of all that. Further, we decided not to have a wedding planner, and while your mileage may vary on that, we think that was the correct call. Because Green Gables has so many weddings, they have a network of vendors they use frequently that are great. If you stick with those recommendations, that gives you a great starting point and you can likely take care of booking vendors and the rest on your own. The vendors we picked also had so much familiarity with the venue that we did not need to worry about coordinating the venue-vendor relationship; they pretty much all knew where to go and what to do. There are some things to consider when picking a venue like this, though--most notably, your decor options are often limited to what they have in their catalogue. If you are the type of person who wants control over every decision for your wedding, this may feel constricting. If, however, you feel overwhelmed at the thought of making all the decisions that come with a wedding, it is helpful (and you know that at minimum the decor will match the venue). Finally, I just want to note that the team was very helpful. Marissa was our day-of coordinator and she made sure we did not lift a finger on our wedding day. We also peppered them with several dozen questions throughout the entire process year+ long process, and they were always helpful and kind in responding. In short, if you are looking for a beautiful venue that will reliably and comfortably give you a stellar wedding, Green Gables is an excellent choice.

they requested to us. My guests still can’t stop talking about how beautiful it was and how delicious the food was. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because of the communication. I was told half way through my planning process that my coordinator was changed because she left the company 2 weeks before my decor meeting. So because of that change that wasn’t told to me until last minute, I had to start over. My notes and vision wasn’t passed on to my new coordinator, Gina when they swear they gave it to her which added a lot of extra stress. Although she was very organized and tried her best but at the end of the night she was trying to rush us out as fast as she can just like the rest of the staff. There was some kind staff members who helped me though. So after they changed my coordinator they didn’t give her any of the notes and it was obvious. I had to repeat myself a few times to get my vision finally put together. Although it added a lot of stress to my planning process, it all ended up fine. (Thank god!) so besides everything, the communication needs a lot of work. You won’t meet face to face with your coordinator until towards the end. That was really hard. They also put most of the pressure on the bride and completely ignore the groom. As soon as the reception ended, they were in my face asking me a million questions that was discussed in the notes and previous meetings like where the extra stuff goes, who is taking what to where, and pressuring us to leave asap. Also my guest book frame was thrown in the back of my car from the staff and the corner is broken. It’s like as soon as the lights come on and the event is done, they don’t care anymore. Getting married here was magical and I don’t regret it but I wish the staff was more kinder to their clients.

experience and day for my wife and I even if I tried. What really made our experience great was Marissa. She was so calm and attentive. Poised and intelligent. We could seriously go on. My wife and I joked that we should get married once a year just to work with Marissa again. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Marissa and the Trademark team. Connor + Sawyer

venues. Everything was laid out for us from day one and we knew exactly what to expect during the planning process which took so much stress away. The venue was beautiful, with so many trees, and natural florals we didn’t need to add much more than some simple arrangements. The food was amazingly delicious and our guests especially loved the garlic mashed potatoes. This day would not have been possible without the most perfect coordinator! Marissa was thoughtful, attentive and made all our ideas come to life no matter how crazy they were. We are truly thankful for her and all the staff that worked with her to make our day perfect. Our friends and family are still talking about this as the best wedding they have ever been to, and I will recommend this venue to everyone I know getting married!

and our coordinator were just perfect ! We really liked our coordinator Sage. She was absolutely great to work with and she followed our timeline so well. Without her, our day would not have been so perfect. The food was also so delicious and we really liked family style. The bartenders also did an excellent job keeping the line moving and getting everyone drinks (sometimes a little heavy on the pour ;) ). Thank you to everyone at Trademark Venues and all of the staff at Green Gables!!

or difficulty. Our guests raved about how beautiful our venue was and they loved the private little areas they could explore. The staff is AMAZING. Emily was our coordinator and she was so helpful and kind! She was super responsive and took care of everything on the day of - I honestly did not even feel stressed on my wedding day because she was so on point with coordinating the vendors and making sure my items were set up properly. I highly recommend Green Gables, and frankly the Trademark Venues in general, because you really can't beat what you get for the cost (comparative to the other venues we saw in San Diego County.) We didn't have to worry about renting plates, chairs, tables, or hiring caterers for the food - and that made our stress level much lower than what it would have been elsewhere. I highly recommend going for a tour at this venue or any of the other 4 they have - as they are all so lovely!

municate with them, they include sooooo many things! But I am here to talk about my wedding day (2/21/22), Courtney and all staff onsite were absolutely wonderful to work with. They kept checking in on me and my party to see if we needed anything. Courtney is so kind and organized and she just makes magic happen. I have received dozens of compliments on the venue, the staff, the food, seriously have not heard one bad thing. I am so happy I found Green Gables. Highly recommend.

ng day was absolutely perfect. Our wedding coordinator was Courtney, and she was INCREDIBLE. I don't know how we got so lucky! She was so easy to work with, so kind, so organized, and made sure our day ran flawlessly. There is a lot of stress involved in the wedding planning process, but Courtney made sure that we were able to fully enjoy ourselves the entire wedding day. I can't imagine going through the wedding planning process without her!

e it feel super secluded and intimate. There are a number of places to have the ceremony. We got married in the gazebo and it was beautiful. The cocktail hour in the patio-like area between the schoolhouse and the groom's speakeasy was a hit. While we took photos elsewhere on the property, it total privacy so we were able to focus, our guests were able to enjoy a cocktail hour with appetizers catered by the venue and drinks from the satellite bar. Dinner was fantastic and our guests enjoyed the food. Our day-of coordinator, Courtney, was super helpful both in the planning process and as well as on our special day. One of the things I hear all the time is how brides and grooms often forget to eat or have some time to themselves, but Courtney ensured we were able to do both! Overall, we loved Green Gables and would recommend any of the Trademark properties to anyone planning a medium to large sized celebration.

and full of character. Decorating the venue was super easy, with the help of their user friendly online decor catalog. Numerous options are included at no additional cost. We were able to customize our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception area perfectly to our taste. Their coordination team is wonderful. We worked with Melissa through our whole wedding planning journey and it felt just like we had our own personal wedding planner. Their all inclusive menu options were delicious and the menu tasting was such a highlight. I highly recommend attending one of the food tasting events at their truly glamorous Trademark restaurant in order to hand pick your all of you wedding day food sections. Overall we would highly recommend any of the Trademark venues to couples looking for a well-curated personalized and stress free wedding experience.

ompliment about how beautiful the site itself was. The flowers, the trees, the lights, the Bridal Parlor, the Speakeasy, the tent. Our wedding party was so excited to spend the hours leading up to the ceremony in such an incredible setting. The staff was also amazing! Our wedding coordinator, Shauna, was outstanding and I could not be happier. She was on top of every detail. Throughout the planning process, when I discovered a hiccup on my end, she was a breeze to work with, always had a solution, and was cool, calm, collected and such a sweetheart. I cannot say enough good things about her. She helped the day-of run smoothly as well. We had a Bridal Assistant who was awesome as well, attending to our needs, pre-wedding. I love that Green Gables provides so many resources and the staff sets everything up and takes everything down. That was a big concern of mine, as I didn't want my family and friends having to worry about these details on our Wedding Day and they were able to enjoy the day with us. I also received compliments from our outside vendors that GG was easy to work with and they thoroughly enjoyed working with this venue. If we had the choice to go back in the past and change something about our venue, I would pick Green Gables, 100% without a doubt, over and over.

ly and financially. However, they were so supportive, flexible, and accommodating. We are so excited to hold the wedding at this beautiful venue in May 2022.

f, we chose something else. But the team here are AWESOME. Super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend working with them.

nd very private. The food was delicious (butternut squash raviolis are BOMB) booking this venue you really get to enjoy your planning and your day. We didn’t have to worry about set up or clean up which was a huge plus. We got to dance the night away and just enjoy every little thing thanks to the staff. Highly recommend green gables!

Katie, my day of bridal assistant was amazing. She was funny, kind and comforting. She made sure I was at ease and comforted me throughout the entire day. I honestly did not imagine my wedding day going off as seamlessly as it did. It’s not often you hear about a wedding with no “problem” and I know I owe this to Hannah. Thank you to Hannah, Katie and Green Gables for making this girls dream wedding a reality. It was truly a day I will never forget and I am so thankful.

y to my wedding with out letting me know of the changes. I felt like I did most of the figuring out what and who. Amber did not look through her notes for my wedding she forgot my lawn games she didn’t put out my bird cage for my cards. I’m just so dissatisfied. The amount of money you pay for this venue you expect a certain level of professionalism. At one point we couldn’t even find any of the workers nor Amber. I honestly felt like she was on another level like she wasn’t all there. I’m not sure. The actual venue is gorgeous but the way I was handled was not something I would recommend going through as a bride. They promise you and tell you how things will go through out your wedding day but idk if it’s a lie or if the batch of employees I got that day did not want to do their job. All my guests were confused on where to go half of them didn’t sign my guest book even though I was promised that there would be people going around making sure everyone knew where to go. Sigh now it’s over and I wish I would have complained in the first place when Amber didn’t reach out to me when she was given my wedding to help. Just really ask questions and be on top of everything yourself because otherwise you’ll be let down if you end up choosing this venue.

day was perfect, ran smoothly, and was so fun. It was amazing. I couldn't recommend them more.

d reception space is on the same property for convenience.

’t have to, the venue is so beautiful all on its own. Food is SO good, Tim from their culinary team was super easy to coordinate with via email and our tasting was fun. Amber was our wedding planner and she was great! Kept our timeline moving and there really wasn’t any delays. If I could do it all over again, I would pick Green Gables every time!

food and coordination team was literally ON POINT. Green Gables made our dream wedding a reality, and we would recommend them a million times over. It is difficult to find a location that offers it all – from 10.5 private and uninterrupted hours with your friends and family, space to get ready, a beautiful ceremony location, full event set-up, delicious food and a grand reception area that will WOW your guests. It is as if you’ve entered your own little fairytale while on property. It will take your breath away. The Green Gables staff – I don’t even have the words. Hannah Tortosa, our wedding coordinator was beyond amazing. She became a sister to me through the process. She and the rest of the staff bent over backwards to ensure we had the day that we always dreamed of. Every detail was planned and executed with pure precision. Absolutely incredible people and a gorgeous venue to call home on your wedding day!

ve even imagined how wonderful of a team they would have. Not only is it truly a beautiful oasis, they also help you with pretty much every single detail - from timeline, to decor, to questions about planning. Hannah and her team made our day go as smooth as you could possibly ever ask for and our family and friends are STILL talking about how amazing it was. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to have the wedding of their dreams! Thank you Hannah and Green Gables for everything!

nator, was so patient with the entire process (which took place over a year in advance) and so wonderful for the actual day of event. Everything went according to plan all because Melissa and her team were on top of everything; I didn't need to stress out or worry about anything because everything went off without a hitch. All of my friends and family were so impressed with the venue, the food, and the atmosphere Green Gables offers. Some of my engaged friends even asked for more information about the venue after the wedding was over. I am so happy I chose Green Gables!!

imately chose this location because it was beautiful, had everything we wanted, and they made everything so effortless and easy. Michelle set everything up for us and answered our many many questions, and Petar was a Godsend as a coordinator. He was quick to respond to messages, eased our concerns and let me wait until nearly the last minute to make final decisions, because it ended up raining (really hard) on our wedding day. We decided approximately 1.5 hours before the ceremony to move the entire wedding inside the reception tent (for 150 people), but they pulled off the best possible backup plan we could have hoped for, and we had one of the most unique San Diego weddings because of it! The food was also fantastic - our guests raved about all of the delicious options and ease of service with the food stations. We are so so happy that we chose to have our wedding here - they made our dream wedding possible, despite the rain!

planning and they do all the hard work. Hannah was my event corrdinator and she answered any question at any time of the day. The week of she was extra on top of it and the day of she had a staff of 15 decorating, checking in on me, etc. the venue created my dream wedding even better than I could have dreamt! I want to redo it all over because of how special they made it for us! I definitely recommend green gables to anyone looking in SoCal! I can’t get over how beautiful everything was! Every little detail was thought out and perfect!

answered every single question along the way and made our wedding day 100% anxiety free. I remember showing up the day of feeling lost because of how much was going on, but Hannah and the rest of the Green Gables staff took care of EVERYTHING and made sure the day was perfect. - The grounds are absolutely beautiful with a vintage charm. Literally anytime during the year this place is gorgeous. - The catering menu is delicious and they have VEGAN options that are actually good. - The reception area is tented and has heat/AC so no matter what time of year it is you and your guests will be comfortable. - The bridal suite and grooms "speakeasy" were just redone and are stunning. They look amazing in pictures too. - The bar is BYOB, which a lot of other venues we checked out were not. This saved us tons of money. Green Gables also staffs the bar so you don't have to worry about it.

is also great - it's a tented reception area, but it is a permanent tent with heaters, so it feels more like a regular building. The coordination team took so much stress out of the whole planning process, and working with Melissa (our personal coordinator) was so easy! She made sure we were kept up to date with all the moving parts of the planning process, and she helped keep us on track by setting up coordination meetings, timelines, etc. The food was delicious as well, Tim (the chef) did an amazing job! We had so many guests come up to us and tell us how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. My husband and I also had a blast at our wedding - everything flowed so smoothly, the day-of coordination team did such an amazing job!!!
