A secret, magical outdoor garden that is nestled in a woodsy location. A fairytale-inspired, intimate setting with hidden features, such as a garden tunnel, babbling creek, and cozy firepit, sprinkled throughout the place. If what I’ve describe...d is where you envision getting married, I recommend you consider Jardin del Sol (JDS).
I was a June 2023 bride. A year ago, I came across JDS and the new owners (Daralyn and Casey McIntyres). It was right after COVID, a place that still needed extra love, but we could see the vision they had for the venue. We reserved the date and locked in our rate, which was and still is affordable. Over the next year, we’ve visited several times and saw the progress of love, effort, and labor poured into the venue. On our wedding day, it was the perfect place to get married.
We had a good experience with Daralyn during the planning process. We shared our ideas and preferences, while Daralyn worked to help us achieve this while balancing the limitations she/the venue had. On the day of the wedding, given the issues we had with our day of coordination services, we were so fortunate to have Daralyn and team to help fill in gaps where needed.
I am a firm believer that the best experiences are the ones that are not perfect. And as much as we all want wedding days to go flawlessly, things happen. It is during these moments of mistakes that define the true character and capability of a vendor. There were a few things that had happened at the venue (e.g., venue had one less easel than discussed, cake cutting table in the wrong place, etc.). No excuses were made and the venue immediately fixed them. The level of professionalism, responsiveness and care stood out in our experience.
Throughout the planning process, I also had some issues with another one of my vendors when doing a walkthrough at the venue. I recall several moments that Daralyn was there to defend me and ensure that I was not being misled. I felt relieved knowing she had my back.
So to sum it up, a wonderful venue, great service, and a fun experience. I was so glad that we had our wedding at Jardin del Sol.
