Our wedding at the Crossing was exactly what every bride and groom can dream of. The staff was so incredibly helpful and on top of it for the day of and everything leading up. Megan was so responsive and easy to work with. We couldn’t be happier with our day!
The venue itself was absolutely stunning. With the ocean view we had so many compliments. The food was also so delicious!
Thank you to the Crossing and their staff for helping our dreams come to life!
Working with Lauren at The Crossings was fantastic! The Crossings as a venue was such a breeze, they have many of the items you would otherwise have to rent, plus with their package you get the venue, the food, and the desert. not only that but unlike most wedding food, it was actually very good. We loved how easy it was to have everything we needed in one place, with very minimal need for outside vendors. Lauren was so easy to work with and answered all of our questions very quickly and thoughtfully. You can tell this wasn't the first wedding that she has worked on! The venue itself is beautiful and there was very minimal need for extra decoration. Our wedding at the Crossings was a magical day!
We had the BEST experience with our October 2024 wedding at the Crossings. We first toured in August 2023, before we really knew what we wanted in a wedding venue. Megan Weber was warm, inviting, and helped us to clearly understand what they offered. We continued to tour venues but ultimately knew the Crossings was the perfect place for us due to the location, cost, and what they included! We were having a small wedding, 50 total guests and the Fireside Room was the perfect fit for us. Megan continued to be so genuine throughout the booking and planning process. We thought planning the wedding ourselves was going to be stressful, but Megan made it so simple! She was quick to answer any questions we had, provided us options, and ensure the day would be exactly as we imagined. Day of, I couldn’t have been more relaxed. Megan and Maddy set up the space exactly how I had hoped and ensured the day ran smoothly. I’m so glad we went with the Crossings for our wedding day, I couldn’t have imagined it anywhere else!
Any questions?
Our wedding at The Crossings was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything ran so smoothly thanks to the incredible team, especially Lauren, our wedding coordinator. She was amazing and made sure every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. The venue itself is breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to have the most stunning sunset that made the evening unforgettable.
Our guests are still raving about the food—everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and served promptly. From the gorgeous ceremony setting to the fantastic reception, The Crossings exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.
My husband, Jason, and I got married at The Crossings in May earlier this year 2024. We had the absolute best experience! From the beginning, Megan Weber, our coordinator, was THE BEST. She was so responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. We always felt taken care of at every step of the wedding planning process. She was also incredible the day of our wedding. Everything went exactly as planned and we did not have to worry about anything at all with her in charge. The venue is also beautiful with an ocean view, although it was a little overcast on our wedding day! Our guests raved about the food! Overall such an amazing day and experience with Megan and the entire team at The Crossings. We would recommend to anyone and everyone!
Within the first 10 minutes of our first tour, we knew this was where we wanted to have our special day. The venue is beautiful, and they provide so much. They also do a wedding showcase and have tons of great local vendors, which are great for giving great ideas for your event. Lauren was such a great help in making all the planning as easy as possible; we truly couldn't have done it without all that she did for us.
I absolutely loved our venue and wedding at The Crossings. The entire process was completely stress free and it was everything we ever wanted. We found this venue on the knot and wanted something close to the beach but not on the water. I read many of the reviews and noticed how everyone seemed to really love this place. We booked our first appointment and met with Sandy who broke down all the packages and reviewed any questions we might have had. There was a July 4th promotion at the time which included upgrades as well. The moment we walked away from the appointment my husband and I knew we wanted to book. The venue is beautiful, and the place just felt warm and welcoming. Once we booked, Megan was assigned to us as our day of coordinator. I can’t say enough amazing things about Megan, she is kind, sweet, fun, and extremely helpful. She laid out everything we need to know and decisions to make over the next few months. I asked her for her personal feedback on many decisions and she was always willing to help! Our communication was solid from day one, again talk about stress free!! Megan constantly responded to our emails, and communicated every bit of detail. On the day of, we also had Maddie helping out. I saw both of them constantly helping out and guiding our guests, checking on us and ensure we were sticking to our timeline. I even saw them pouring water for our guest and helping the wait staff walking out food. Now thats teamwork! I really appreciated them both for a great day. I also want to compliment the entire staff as well, I was able to meet the new manager, some golf staff, and clean up crew that day and I appreciates every single persons helpfulness, professionalism, and positivity!
The food we went with was the filet mignon and the chicken for our guests to choose. Hands down, best filet ever. Our guests raved about how great the food was and I personally will be going back because I still think about it. My guests really loved the venue as well, constantly complimenting the entire day and how seamless it was. They thought everything went extremely smooth and it really did! We are still getting compliments! Hands down this venue was the best decision ever. This place fit everything we were looking for and more and they Nailed it! Thank you to The Crossings for such a memorable day!
Overall we loved our wedding at the crossings and we 1000% recommend it!! Everything was amazing!! Stand outs were definitely our coordinator Megan, the amazing food, the beautiful ceremony site, the outdoor space for those who wanted some air, and location to the hotels. We also loved having the bridal and groom suite on site!!!
Couldn't have been more perfect! We loved everything about our wedding and the team at The Crossings did a phenomenal job from the setup, to drinks, to dinner, to cleanup/end. We loved the outdoor space, cocktail hour at sunset on the terrace, then indoor reception. Feels silly but they also had plenty of (clean) restrooms so guests weren't waiting in line throughout the night. Parking lot was so easy and close to the entrance for older guests. Entire venue is so spacious for a larger guest count without feeling cramped at all.
Special shoutout to Lauren who was one of the reasons we especially loved The Crossings for our wedding. When we first met Lauren at the venue tour, we were refreshed to meet someone so bubbly, friendly, and easy to talk to. We were thrilled when we found out she would be our Day Of Coordinator because we knew we'd be in good hands for a day that meant so much to us. Lauren was so professional, organized, made the entire process so seamless, low stress, and truly answered any and all of our silly questions without ever making us feel like a burden. We're so grateful to her and the rest of The Crossings team for helping to bring our wedding dreams to life!! <3
Our experience with The Crossings at Carlsbad was absolutely exceptional, largely due to the outstanding service provided by Megan, our venue coordinator. From the moment we booked two years in advance, Megan consistently went above and beyond. Despite us not being local to the area, Megan made scheduling meetings effortless by accommodating our needs with flexibility.
Megan's attention to detail and proactive communication ensured every question was answered promptly, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth. Her creative ideas and thoughtful recommendations enriched our planning process, making it both enjoyable and efficient. She truly served as a valuable sounding board throughout our planning.
On our wedding day, the entire staff at The Crossings demonstrated the same level of excellence. The servers were not only professional but also incredibly kind, ensuring us and our guests were well taken care of. The food was outstanding and received rave reviews from everyone. The bartenders were attentive and patient, contributing to the relaxed atmosphere. One of the highlights of our day was taking a golf cart tour and having someone from the Crossings guiding us and our photographer to the best locations for couple’s photos!
Overall, Megan and The Crossings at Carlsbad exceeded our expectations and played a pivotal role in making our wedding day truly special. Their dedication and expertise made the entire experience seamless and memorable. We cannot recommend them enough!
Getting married at The Crossings was a literal dream come true. From the moment we spoke to Lauren (Lee), we knew that we had found our venue. Lauren made everything so easy and stress-free for us. The entire process felt so seamless, and Lauren always stayed one step ahead of us and ensured all of our questions were answered. We feel so lucky to have had such a warm, kind, and professional wedding coordinator. Not to mention the rest of the team (shout out to Maddie who was on top of everything throughout the day, and even recorded the ceremony for my mother-in-law on her IPad at the last minute) who worked their asses off to make the day as perfect as possible for us. The day flew by, but everything was so much easier knowing that the Crossings team had our back, and left us nothing to worry about. We can't thank the team at The Crossings enough for the amazing day that they helped us create. We will be forever grateful to these people and this incredible establishment
We had an absolutely amazing wedding at the crossings! The venue was beautiful and had so many spots to take great photos. We had multiple guests say that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Our amazing coordinator Lauren and the whole crossings team made the whole process so simple. We planned the wedding from out of town and Lauren made sure everything went seamlessly for us. We showed up day of and everything was set up perfectly!
We could not have asked for a better venue or a team of people ensuring we had the perfect day. We can't thank the crossings and Lauren enough! -Nick and Kate
We had our dream wedding at the Crossings! It's such an incredible venue; the view is gorgeous and the course is beautiful and perfect for photos. The food was the best wedding food we have ever had. Multiple guests commented on how great the food was! The staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating at every point in the planning process. And a very special thanks to Megan Weber who made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. She was there for us the entire time and made sure everything was perfect on the big day! 10/10 would recommend having your wedding here!
Lauren made the entire wedding planning experience so delightful and easy for me. She is so kind and it felt like she put as much care and attention to detail into my wedding as she would her own. We also had Maddy join us on the day of to assist in coordination and she was an amazing addition. The venue itself is gorgeous and numerous friends and family were raving about how dinner was the best wedding food they’d ever had! The Crossings now has a special place in my heart and we are so thankful for the experience we had.
Choosing The Crossings for our wedding ceremony and reception was the best decision in the wedding planning process. My husband wanted a golf course venue and The Crossings was the perfect place. The outside venue for the ceremony is gorgeous with the golf course/ocean back drop, the patio for cocktail hour offers just as amazing views and the ballroom for the reception is beautiful. The food at The Crossings is just as amazing as the food; our guests are still telling us how good it was. We had breakfast and lunch for the bridal party while getting ready, appetizers during cocktail hour, dinner and late-night bites and everything tasted so good.
We were lucky to have Megan as our venue coordinator. She is so friendly and professional; we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. She is great at putting any stressed-out bride-to-be at ease and made the process from start to finish fantastic. I would highly recommend Megan as your coordinator; she’s the best.
The bride and groom suites that are on site are fantastic and its so nice being able to get ready at the venue and not have the worry about change of locations. The bridal suite is especially great with the hair and makeup area and how spacious it is.
Choosing The Crossings as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made for our special day! Not only are the grounds stunning with perfect spots for both the ceremony and reception, but working with our wedding coordinator Megan was an absolute dream.
From the very beginning, Megan was super easy to work with. She brought an incredible, comforting energy that made the whole wedding planning process enjoyable. Her attention to detail was nothing short of amazing. Megan made sure that every part of the venue was set up perfectly and that each segment of the day transitioned smoothly into the next. Thanks to her, we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day except enjoying ourselves.
Megan truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Her professional yet warm demeanor made us feel like we were in safe hands from start to finish. Thanks to Megan and The Crossings, our wedding was not only beautiful but also unforgettable.
I highly recommend The Crossings to any couple looking for a picturesque venue coupled with top-notch coordination. Megan, thank you for everything! You helped create our perfect day, and we are eternally grateful.

The Crossings was the perfect choice of venue for my husband and I. From the oceans views, to the large cozy ballroom, to the day-of set up; every detail was amazing! Our day of coordinator, Lauren Lee, was so sweet, detailed, and organized: a true pleasure to work with! Couldn’t have asked for a better day.
My husband and I recently got married at the Crossings at Carlsbad and had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren. We can't sing her praises enough. From the moment we walked in, her warmth and accommodating nature made us feel like old friends. Lauren's attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. She seamlessly collaborated with our wedding planner and we were able to enjoy every single moment of our wedding.
The venue is stunning and everything flows effortlessly. The bridal suite is beautiful and convenient, there was plenty of space for 7 of us to do our glam. We ordered both breakfast and lunch to the suite which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day without coordinating transportation or food orders. And let's not forget about the dinner - the filet mignon was such a hit, even the dinner rolls had guests raving! Thank you, Lauren and the entire Crossings Team, for your dedication and for making our special day absolutely perfect.
We are so lucky to be able to come back for golf and brunch to relive the memories.
When me and my husband first toured The Crossings venue - we instantly knew this place was the one we were going to pick. Working with Lauren was amazing! She was responsive and always was so helpful. The view and just this entire venue spoke volumes. It is completely gorgeous and we had so many compliments from our guests about the venue alone. The staff/service during our wedding was great. Everyone was prompt, professional, and friendly. The food was also amazing!! Thank you so much to everyone at the Crossings, especially Lauren, for making our dream wedding come true. We recommend this venue so much! We are just so thankful and we wish we can re-do our wedding at this beautiful spot again and again!!
Our wedding at The Crossings on February 17th, 2024, was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. The picturesque setting provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception, with lush greenery and elegant architecture that exceeded our expectations.
The staff at The Crossings went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, from the initial planning stages to the last dance of the evening. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
The catering service was exceptional, with a delicious menu that impressed all of our guests. The team flawlessly executed our vision, turning our dream wedding into a reality.
We cannot thank The Crossings, especially Lauren and Sandy, enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a venue that offers unparalleled beauty, exceptional service, and memories to last a lifetime, look no further than The Crossings. Five stars doesn't seem like enough to express our gratitude for such an incredible experience.
My husband and I fell in love with the crossings venue when we did our first walk through with Lauren. We had our ceremony and reception at the crossings and everything went AMAZING! Lauren was there every step of the way to guide us and answer any questions we had. She also tag teamed with my wedding planner and made sure that everything was perfect the day of the wedding. Lauren took us to the golf course for our pictures and we got the best shots!! Thank you to the team at the crossings and Lauren for making our wedding experience a memorable one!
We had our ceremony offsite, but used The Crossings for getting ready, cocktail hour, and reception. Crossings Coordinator (Catering Sales Manager) Lauren was more helpful than the wedding planner we paid extra for! If you are someone who wants to manage every detail, you've got plenty of options here! And if you're someone like me who did not want to make aallll of the decisions (like how you want the napkins folded!), Lauren was so helpful!!! She emphasized the things we said were important to us and took care of the other details that we were less concerned about. We added on an open bar & late night snacks- our guests were obsessed! I loved that this venue was transparent about costs right from the beginning. The packages are very customizable so you can get exactly what you're looking for. Again, I can't say enough nice things about Lauren who helped make this day exactly what we wanted and for the awesome staff who took care of us like we were old friends!
Absolutely amazing!! Lauren Lee, our coordinator, was very organized but also relaxed and provided a calming yet detailed presence. The venue is stunning and with Lauren's decorating expertise, it really allowed my husband and I to just enjoy the wedding planning process and the wedding day! We could not be happier with our wedding and we highly recommend the Crossings to all couples looking for a gorgeous, sophisticated, and amazing wedding!
I don't think I can say enough about how incredible the Crossings was as a wedding venue. The inside is beautiful. The backdrop for the ceremony overlooks the ocean. The food was delicious, we chose salmon and steak. The get ready rooms on-site were spacious and nice. The entire staff was friendly and hard working from the day we booked and through the event. Lauren was my wedding planner and she crushed it. She was sweet, a good communicator, and made the day of flow so smoothly, I had nothing to worry about. Staff set-up and took down everything for us day of so we could enjoy the entire event. I suggest choosing the upgrades of market lighting and chivari chairs, as it really transformed the room. They made my wedding incredible and I highly recommend for anyone in their venue hunt.
I married my best friend on 11.18.23 and the day was perfect because of this venue, our incredible coordinator MEGAN, and the unreal staff that came together for two strangers.
We had been dreaming of this day for a long time but never really knew where to begin. We met with Sandy on 11/28/22 and we told her all of our ideas. She tallied up a spread sheet with costs and showed us every option. By the next day we were calling to sign contracts and book our date. Sandy CC'd us into an email with Megan and she immediately greeted us and sent us a wedding planning packet to make it even easier on us. From that point on every email & question was answered.
We didn't have to worry about linens, chairs, tables, glassware, utensils, alcohol, or food. All was taken care of by the venue. They even include a budget within your deposit for the bakery they partner with, "VG Bakery." We were able to get a two tiered cake and an entire dessert bar! Our guests raved about the desserts and Megan even boxed us up a platter to take home.
Megan walked us through a food tasting and later a final walk through the week before the wedding. Each time I was greeted with arms wide open and the most excited smile. Any worries or stresses were gone by the time I left the venue (and I was able to plan with very little stresses because they make it so easy)!
The day of our rehearsal, Megan was able to coordinate THIRTY FIVE people. She seamlessly showed everyone their role. I unloaded all of my DIY projects into one of their rooms and Megan walked through every single piece of it with me to make sure she knew exactly where we wanted it. From that point on, I had zero responsibilities or worries. I just got to show up to the best day of my life knowing Megan was taking care of everything.
The day of the wedding she was somehow every where and any where before you even knew you needed her. It was pouring rain and the staff had all of our chairs covered. By the time the rain stopped, they made it look like it never happened. The bridal suite and grooms suite are beautiful and so spacious! I love that the bridal suite has a closed off outdoor area for more space. We fit 1 bride, 11 bridesmaids, 4 moms, 3 flower girls, and 4 hair and makeup artists with space to spare. The venue provided food for all of us. They have speakers, tv's, and they even have a steamer!
Our ceremony was perfect, thanks to The Crossings.
Once it was done, the bridal party was greeted with champagne. My husband and I got to drive our own golf cart following Sandy to other parts along the venue to take our couple pictures.
The reception was incredible. THE FOOD! A week later and we still haven't stopped hearing people sharing about how incredible the food was. We chose the flat iron steak and seabass options. We also highly suggest the "late night bites," we surprised our guests with pretzel bites and everyone loved it!
The next day the two of us went back to our venue for our own lunch. The bartenders came out to see us and the chefs came to shake our hands. The heart that goes into this venue is unmatched. We felt like our day was just as important to each of them. The hardwork and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and we will always be grateful!
A huge thank you to every person who helped us with our day!
To Megan! We miss you already. Thank you for making all of our dreams come true. You were meant for this job!

My wife Jenn and I got married at The Crossings on Oct 28th ‘23. It was an amazing day from start to end. Our coordinator, Lauren Lee, was so helpful, organized and had so many great ideas and willing to listen to some of our funny ideas we had. We planned our wedding in 5 months and the process with the crossings was so smooth especially with the help from Lauren. The facility was beautiful, the food was great and the entire staff was so helpful in making our day enjoyable. We would definitely recommend The Crossings and Lauren, we had a day we’ll never forget!
My wife Britney and I got married here on October 20th, 2023, and it was an absolutely amazing experience at such an affordable price!
Our coordinator Lauren Lee, was the most amazing coordinator we could have asked for, she did not only do everything to make our day go so smoothly, but on a personal level she really connected with us and made us really feel so comfortable for the whole process from start to finish, it really feels like we made a FRIEND on top of having a coordinator we loved! Our doors are always open to her! We love you Lauren! Please come see us when you are in Michigan!
The staff, set up, clean up, bartenders, and everyone else involved were amazing, the drinks during he reception were perfectly balanced, (not too strong not too weak) so you didn't have to keep running back up to the bar and it really felt like we were getting what we paid for.
Our ceremony site was so breathtaking and magical thanks to the set up crew and venue. Again I cannot express how affordable this was for element of a wedding it was! We would 100% recommend this venue to anyone in the Southern California area if you want a one stop do all location!
We could not have been happier about the layout, personnel involved, and again how easy everything was for us. Huge thank you to everyone who made our day SO special
Love Britney and Max Rogowski
We got married at the crossings on 9.22.23 and had the most incredible experience. The venue was beautiful, food was amazing, and the bridal & groom suites were perfect spots to get ready. We can’t say enough about our coordinator, Megan, who went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of from day one. She was clear with communication and was always timely in answering our questions leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding was stress free because of Megan and her team- they set up our decor beautifully, broke everything down, and handled any hiccups in between so that our day was seamless. Multiple guests came up to us after the wedding to mention our amazing coordinator. We are so grateful for the venue and all of their amazing staff for making our wedding day so special!
We had our wedding at The Crossings in October 2023. We highly recommend this venue! We had the best day, and each of the staff members were very kind, accommodating, and helpful. The ceremony area, reception and welcome rooms, and bride and groom suites are all beautiful. Our guests also said the food was great. We had an amazing experience with Lauren as our coordinator. She was very communicative throughout our wedding planning process and she made us feel so special! Wish we could do it all over again. :)
We had the best experience working with the team at The Crossings. We had a great first visit with Sandy and knew right away that The Crossings was where we wanted to get married. The packages offered are a great value and the team is more than willing to work with you within your budget to get creative with the offerings. Lauren was our coordinator and she helped answer every question of mine each step along the way and on the day-of she executed our vision flawlessly along with Julia. We did not work with a wedding planner so I truly mean it when I say that our day would not have been what it was without those two.
Thank you to The Crossings team for such a wonderful experience. A little bit of rain did not stop us from having the most incredible day and we are forever grateful for all that your team has done for us. We can't wait to come back and visit!
The Crossings Review
I am so so so happy we chose The Crossings for our wedding!! From day 1 to visiting the venue, to coming by to check out the venue, Lauren and the other staff have all been so kind and accommodating to us. Lauren is so responsive and communicative. She truly made our entire wedding experience flawless and perfect. Our perfect day was just that, PERFECT!! Not a single thing went wrong and I knew Lauren had it all under control. I did not stress a single bit on wedding day because she truly made everything so seamless!!! I cannot express how grateful we are for Lauren. The Crossings is absolutely unique and gorgeous and had everything we wanted in a wedding venue. For perspective, we toured 17 wedding venues because we are so picky and the crossings had it all!!! Amazing staff, new and gorgeous bridal and groom suites, genuine staff, incredible locations and scenery. Everyone had such a great time!!! The drinks at the open bar were incredible and the food was delicious which is very rare for wedding food. For rehearsal, our entire groomsmen party went golfing the morning of( 12 people) and had a blast!! Rehearsal practice was quick and fun!!
I had zero hiccups or negative things to say about the entire experience. I HIGHLY recommend booking your perfect day here!!! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing other than I never wanted the night to end!!!! Thank you to the entire Crossings staff!!!
Ps. The weather was PERFECT and we had a gorgeous sunset for our special day!! Truly a dream come true
My husband and I had our wedding here 9/29/23 and it was amazing, we truly couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Our coordinator was Megan and she was fantastic. From the moment we took our first tour, to our wedding day, she was there for anything we needed. She answered any questions we had, took time to get to know us, and made sure our day ran smoothly. She is so personable, kind and inviting. After meeting her, we knew we were in good hands. Julie was assisting her the day of the wedding and she was also very helpful and kind. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly. The Crossings staff helped set everything up and it looked beautiful, we got to see our vision for our wedding come to life. The food was fantastic and all of our guests commented on that throughout the days following. Especially the short rib and mashed potato puree! The venue itself, views, and atmosphere were everything we wanted for our modern, elegant, and fun wedding. All of the staff was professional, helpful, and communicative.
The Crossings has my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary experience my partner and I had at your venue for our recent wedding. The sheer beauty of the setting exceeded our wildest dreams, offering a stunning ocean view that left our guests in awe.
Lauren Lee, our dedicated venue coordinator, orchestrated the entire event flawlessly. Her meticulous attention to detail and tireless dedication ensured that not a single problem, issue, or worry marred our special day. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration, knowing that every aspect was being handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
One of the standout features was the reception room, which was nothing short of enchanting. The market lights draped across the ceiling created a magical ambiance, elevating the entire experience. The space was not only elegantly appointed but also incredibly spacious, allowing for a seamless flow of festivities.
The inclusion of bridal and groom suites was a stroke of brilliance. These beautifully designed spaces not only provided a peaceful retreat for us to prepare, but they also ensured our entire wedding party arrived and stayed on schedule. It created a relaxed atmosphere, and we truly appreciated having this haven to gather our thoughts before the ceremony.
In addition to the impeccable interior, the venue's location provided a gorgeous ocean view that took our breath away. The natural beauty of the surroundings added an extra layer of magic to our day, creating a backdrop that was nothing short of breathtaking.
However, I do have one minor concern to mention. I had prepared bathroom baskets for our guests, filled with essentials like deodorant and hair spray. Unfortunately, it seems that some patrons from the golf course mistook them as communal supplies. As a result, our guests were unable to make use of these thoughtful provisions. While this was a small inconvenience, it did slightly affect an otherwise perfect experience.
Despite this, our overall experience was nothing short of magical. The venue, with its stunning ocean view, combined with Lauren Lee's expertise and seamless coordination, was pivotal in bringing our vision to life. We are forever grateful for the memories we created at your venue.
It’s hard to leave a review that does justice to our coordinator Lauren and this incredible wedding venue. The minute I stepped foot on The Crossings, I felt at ease and optimistic that this would be the place I would get married. First of all, there are so many different elements to this venue, from the stunning window-lined reception area to the romantic ceremony lawn it overlooks. It was literally EXACTLY what we were looking for. Not to mention, when you look up at it, it looks like a fairytale castle. The staff is so friendly and genuinely excited for you, which goes a long ways, as wedding planning can be very overwhelming at times. We didn’t know yet when we met her, but Lauren would be exactly what we needed during this process. I am in awe of her! From the jump, she treated us like top priority clients, even before we signed anything. Our tour was fun and engaging, and she knew when to guide us and when to give us space to take in the beauty of the venue. That also included our decision to eat lunch at the venue on the day we toured, which really sealed the deal, because the food at The Crossings is outstanding! After our tour, Lauren was a tremendous help with crafting a plan that fit our budget, and she never rushed us with making our decision. The best part is, her professionalism and help only continued to exceed our expectations after we signed the dotted line. Not a question went unanswered, and we had a lot of them. And, instead of saying no to unique requests, she always checked to make sure our ideas weren’t within reach. I genuinely looked forward to her emails, because they made everything feel that much more real and they usually came with good news and detailed guidance through this process. For us, since we didn’t hire a wedding planner, Lauren is what really made this day possible for us. We had a lot of DIY and culturally unique aspects to our wedding, and not only did she help us execute them, but she was genuinely excited about them. She knew how to read between the lines and thought of things that we didn’t even think of.
And, even when things got a little hectic on the day of with being behind schedule, Lauren and her team always had a plan and never made me feel stressed as the bride. It was also so great having a bridesmaid and groomsmen suite on location, where we could spend the day getting ready, drinking champagne, and taking photos. I would recommend Lauren and The Crossings to anybody looking to have a smooth planning process and wedding in a beautiful location that your friends and family will LOVE. My husband and I can’t wait to come back and visit, as every memory made at The Crossings will forever be special in our hearts. Thank you guys for everything!
We had our wedding at The Crossings on Saturday August 5, 2023 and our wedding exceeded our expectations! The Crossings at Carlsbad is such an amazing venue and included everything we wanted for our special day. Megan Weber, our day of coordinator, made everything less stressful and was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions throughout the whole process and even throughout the wedding day. The food was incredible and our wedding day timeline went smoothly thanks to the Crossings team, especially Megan and Julia who helped on the wedding day. The venue offered a package that included linens, tables, a dessert bar from VG Donuts, drinks, patio games, ceremony arch, a champagne toasts and more which made the planning that much easier. We had around 175 guests and we didn’t need to worry about a thing on our wedding day. This gave us such a fun and memorable day :) We highly recommend booking this venue for your wedding or any event.
Our wedding was July 22, 2023 at The Crossings and it was truly the PERFECT wedding. Our guests all told us how great of a venue The Crossings was after the event. Throughout the process, Lauren Lee (the coordinator), made everything so easy for us! She was extremely responsive to all of our questions as we planned and was so helpful with all the vendor coordination. She also went out of her way to ensure that everything went as smooth as possible the day of the wedding. The rest of the staff the day of also was incredible! We also heard great things from our guests about the food and drink! I would absolutely recommend the Crossings for your wedding. We truly had such a nice wedding at a relatively reasonable cost compared to other venues we looked at! And one other the note -- the ocean views are killer!!
We had our wedding at the Crossings on June 2, 2023 and cannot stop talking about how perfect it was!!! Megan was the best coordinator we could have asked for. From the beginning she was very organized and on top of the entire planning process! She made is so easy for us to plan and execute the perfect wedding. The Crossings is already a gorgeous venue and we selected vendors that frequent the venue often to reduce stress and detail planning and that was super helpful! For everything else, Megan had an answer for it all and we appreciated her so much. She responded so quickly to our emails and questions every time and helped us create a more custom seating arrangement that was perfect for our reception! We did not have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding and it went SEAMLESS! The food was incredible and the wait staff served it so quickly and efficiently, we were very impressed! Do not hesitate to check out The Crossings for your upcoming wedding!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!! :)
Our wedding at The Crossings was PERFECT. Our planning process started when we found The Crossings online and thought it was too good to be true. After our venue tour, we knew it was the one. The ceremony site is stunning and the view of the ocean is so romantic. All of our guests told us what a beautiful venue we chose and then raved about all the food. We could not have asked for a better wedding day and truly entire planning process. Our coordinator, Lauren, was so responsive and so helpful throughout our very long engagement and I could tell she really cared about our happiness. She made our dreams come true! And she made it easy. Thank you so much Lauren!
The Crossings is an amazing venue for a wedding! Their professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched. Our coordinator was Megan and Lauren and they were great and accommodating. The food was fantastic and the servers were excellent. Many people were impressed when the servers cooked their meat to their request! When we packed up the staff was helpful and everything came back so clean (cake utensils and champagne flutes. I would highly recommend The Crossings for your wedding!!!
10/10 would recommend the crossings for your wedding ceremony and reception venue! It’s hard to summarize all that we loved about the Crossings in one review, but to highlight our 3 favorite things about it:
The space: the venue space is very modern and updates with beautiful wood beams running across the ceilings and open windows. It’s hard to find a reception space that doesn’t have carpet so absolutely loved that the entire space had wood floors! It made for awesome pictures from every corner. They also just added brand new bridal and groom suites on site for the wedding party to get ready in!!
The food: since the Crossings is also a restaurant day in and day out, the food is actually GOOD. Our guests all could not stop raving about how tasty the food was at dinner. We also had breakfast ordered for the wedding party and that was just as delicious!!
Our wedding coordinator: we can’t say enough great things about our wedding venue extraordinaire, Lauren!! From start to finish she made this experience so special for us, bending over backwards where possible to help bring our vision to life and just being a joy to work with throughout! She was incredibly on top of it, lots of fun, and always kind. Highly recommend!!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Megan and the Crossings for our wedding! We are from out of town and it couldn’t have been easier to plan for our wedding. Any question I had, Megan answered right away, no matter how big or how small. Crossings wedding packages are completely affordable and also flexible to meet whatever vision the couple has.
And what a beautiful venue! We knew we wanted outside aspects but still an option for an indoor reception and Crossings was PERFECT. The view is amazing and nothing beats California weather and sunset photos.
My guests could not stop raving about the food and the service. They had such a wonderful time and as a couple we felt like the entire day was in good hands.
I was a bride that wanted to be involved in my planning and all of that paid off bc on the day-of, Megan and her team took everything out of my hands and I was able to enjoy it all and soak it all in.
I highly recommend Crossings and working with Megan as your coordinator if you want to have a beautiful wedding and a stress-free day with your partner!
We selected The Crossings because of the ocean view and the venue being all packaged together without bringing in dozens of vendors. They provide beautiful chairs, arches, meals (all our guests complimented the food) and partner with VG Donuts/Cakes to bring the most delicious desserts. Lauren Lee was super helpful to work with leading up to our big day and facilitated perfectly as our day-of wedding coordinator.
Simply spectacular. From the first email, to the venue tour, to every single email and phone call, to the big day, and afterward, Lauren has shown us superlative service and consistent care. Our big day could not have come together without the professional help of her and her team. She made everything effortless while showing the utmost patience in answering our many questions. Her expertise and knowledge were shown in every detail and response. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, rather than just another wedding in her books. She followed up with us throughout our planning process and helped calm us down during the most hectic and stressful times. The day-of could not have gone more seamlessly! She is on top of everything! My wife and I were so very fortunate to have her as our coordinator and highly recommend The Crossings to any future couple that is looking to be well taken care of. The bridal suite and groom suite were amazing additions to the venue that made the day-of that less stressful! Thank you again, Lauren!
This was such an incredible wedding venue. Everything was perfection from start to finish. The setting itself is so beautiful with the ocean view and the extravagant clubhouse for the reception. The staff was so attentive and courteous and treated us and our guests so well. The food was fantastic and we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed everything too. Highly recommend The Crossings for any event.
My Husband and I had our Wedding Celebration at The Crossings on 12/30/22. Megan and her team were absolutely amazing and professional! Megan made the whole planning process so easy and stress free. She thought of every detail and our wedding was stunning, we could not have asked for anything better! We received many compliments on how well the day was planned, how beautiful the venue and view were, how great the service was, and how delicious the food was.
Our biggest goal for the day was for everyone to have fun, thanks to Megan and her team, the day was an absolute blast and stress free. It was almost too easy! My husband and I would plan our wedding again at The Crossings in a heartbeat!
My husband and I recently got married at The Crossings and it was everything we hoped for and more! Throughout the entire process from booking the venue, to picking our meals and everything leading up to the big day, the staff at The Crossings were professional and so friendly. The venue has a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space and our guests could not stop complimenting everything about our wedding! The bridal suite is beautiful and was perfect for getting ready and had so much room for all the vendors (hair, makeup, photographer, and videographer) to move around comfortably. Although the venue speaks for itself with the beautiful ocean view, the best part about the whole process was the wedding coordinator at The Crossings, Lauren. Lauren from day 1 was so helpful and really made the entire experience so memorable and enjoyable. She took the stress out of so may little things and really made us fall more in love with the venue. My husband and I cannot thank Lauren and the entire staff at The Crossings enough for helping make our big day so full of fun and love. Thank you!!!
My husband and I tied the knot on 10/21/2022 at the Crossings. Megan and her team were AMAZING. Megan was so thorough and did everything. I did not stress about a single thing on the day of the wedding. I have received sooooo many compliments about how beautiful everything looked, how great the staff was, how amazing the food was, and how much fun everyone had. I would fully recommend The Crossings as your venue. It was such a great experience with so much included in the packages.
Wedding of our dreams! My husband & I just tied the knot 10.07.22 at The Crossings and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful experience. We had 150 guests and the day was executed so perfectly. Lauren was our coordinator (our wedding fairy godmother) and guided us through the process so effortlessly. She has an eye for detail and coordinated our vendors the day of to construct the most picture perfect ceremony and reception.
Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food/appetizers/dessert bar was and how full they were by the end of the night. The Crossings has a lot of options for add ons to make your experience unique as can be.
Lastly, the ocean views at the ceremony were breathtaking. We scheduled our 'I Do's' at 5:00pm and the fall skyline across the ocean is something we will never forget.
Thank you to Lauren and the rest of The Crossings crew for making our day so unforgettable!
We had the best experience at The Crossings! We got married in May of 2022. We loved every minute of our wedding. The staff was amazing, food was wonderful, and loved the vendors they recommended for us! I would book 100% this venue again in a heartbeat. Thanks for making our special day so magical!
My husband and I are so glad we found The Crossings! It was even better than we hoped for our big day :) Lauren was our coordinator and she could not have been more helpful or prepared to make our wedding absolutely perfect. Planning can be so stressful but she made the process feel easy and made sure the day of was stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - It has an upscale country club feel with stunning ocean and sunset views from both the ceremony to the reception. We couldn’t have been happier, thank you to The Crossings and to Lauren for making our wedding absolutely amazing!!!
The staff was great to work with. Beautiful venue. Reasonably priced & people raved about the food & appetizers. Our pictures are amazing!
The Crossings was the first wedding venue we looked at. We compared every place afterwards to it, and none came close. The Crossings has incredible views and gorgeous architecture. I fell in love with the ocean views and outdoor space and my husband loved the buildings, especially the exposed wooden beams in the reception space. It's a magical place to get married. There's a lovely bridal suite onsite now. Only downside is that it opens to the parking lot, so make sure one of your girls makes sure there isn't a hoard of guests outside when you're trying to exit!
Lauren was our wedding coordinator. To say she is amazing, seems like I'm selling her short. She was above and beyond the best we could ask for. She is kind, organized, thoughtful, goes above and beyond, and just downright the best. She answered every email and call (and I sent a lot - whoops!) and was genuinely happy to help. She really made all of our wants and wishes come true and was so willing to work with us to help us stay on budget. We couldn't ask for a better coordinator. Everyone commented that our wedding was the most well run, organized wedding they've been to, with AMAZING food, and the sweetest staff. And honestly, we have to agree. We never felt rushed or like we were obviously falling behind. My husband and I could have asked for a better wedding venue and staff. We had the most perfect wedding at the Crossings. We can't wait to come back and visit and reminisce. I would highly recommend the Crossings.
The venue is absolutely fantastic! The day of our wedding went very smoothly and if anything did go wrong we didn't hear about it or notice. They are very well organised and the decorations are beautiful. I would recommend to someone looking for a venue that has a lot of items included and not having to do it all on your own. The included day of coordinator, we had Lauren, is super helpful and made the process much more enjoyable.
We had an incredible wedding at The Crossings. The venue was just perfect. Lauren was our coordinator and she was very on top of it. I had many questions throughout the whole process and her responses were always quick and detailed. The entire staff did an incredible job on the day of as well. We had no hiccups. They handled everything perfectly. It alleviated all of our wedding day stress. The food was delicious and we even opted for a late night French fry bar - it did not disappoint!
The Crossings was absolutely gorgeous! We loved this venue, and what made it even better was the staff. Our coordinator, Lauren, was hands down the best person we could have asked for. She not only is great at her job, but a kind person that cares for you. On top of that, the service was great and all of the staff was kind. We could not have asked for a better day and are so thankful we chose The Crossings! I would recommend this place to anyone!
The Crossings was an absolutely perfect venue! As soon as we toured it we fell in love. The setting is stunning with gorgeous views and well maintained grounds. The location is great, especially if you have a lot of out-of-town guests because there are great hotel options close by.
From the beginning, The Crossings made the entire wedding planning process so seamless. Their package options are great! The food was incredible - we got so many compliments from our guests. We were also able to create signature drinks which was a fun addition to the open bar! They recently built a bridal suite which was cute and perfect for pictures!
Above all, working with Lauren Lee was the best part. She was so fun to work with and helped us bring all of our ideas to life! She was very responsive and always happy to answer our questions whenever they came up. Everything went so smoothly on the big day and we have Lauren and her team to thank for that :) The Crossings will always have a very special place in our hearts and we can't wait to visit whenever we're back in the area.
The Crossings is a magical place to get married –– my husband and I are so pleased! The greenery at the Crossings, while overlooking the ocean in the distance with perfect skies during the ceremony, while enjoying a beautiful sunset cocktail hour, followed by a lovely reception inside were all just the icing on the cake for us. Not only was this venue perfect for wedding pictures and scenic enjoyment (I love their room reveals too) all staff were especially kind throughout our day, so very accommodating with such care –– Ms. Lauren Lee helped us throughout planning and we are so grateful for her. She helped make wedding planning as easy and smooth as possible :) Thank you to the Crossings for making our day so memorable –– you hold a special place in our hearts!
A beautifully effortless experience with an ocean view. My husband and I could not have enjoyed a more perfect day at The Crossings. The ceremony was beautiful with the lush green of the lawn and hillsides with a crystal blue back drop of the the ocean and sky making for unforgettable pictures. The process of planning and execution only became easier with the staff. Particularly our planner Lauren Lee helped guide our planning and made sure our big day went smoothly. She was very lovely and professional in all aspects. We are happy to be able to share our special day with her and The Crossings to create such a memorable day.
I can not say enough about how wonderful the staff at the crossings was. They made our wedding so special. From day one to our final moments they made us feel so special. They were so accommodating to everything we wished for on our big day. They brought my vision to life and I truly couldn't have been happier. My husband and I could not recommend this place more to anyone who is looking for an amazing spot to get married. You would not regret your decision in the slightest! Shot out to Lauren for being truly the best coordinator! And the food was incredible. Big thank you again to Lauren and all the staff at the crossings, you guys are truly the best!
I had my wedding at the Crossings at Carlsbad on 10.10.21. Overall, the day was beautiful and I am very happy to have chosen this venue!
Originally my partner and I booked this venue back in Sept 2020 and worked with Alex Ghilarducci. Alex was great and very thorough during our meetings together. We also, worked with Courtney Mackay, who ended up being our main point of contact and day of coordinator, which the venue includes. From the dress rehearsal to the wedding day Courtney was very kind during the whole process and was also great to work with!
Like any business you work with over a longer period of time, there will always be pros and cons so I will list them out given my experience with this wedding venue.
Pros:
-The location is absolutely stunning! With the ocean view in the background of the ceremony and on a golf course, we got a lot of great photos during our special day.
-The venue included a lot of the basic wedding details like the table and chairs. They also have two arches to choose from which we chose the hexagon arch that turned out so nice!
-The food is included and varies based off of the package you choose. We chose the classic package and got the grilled flat iron steak and miso glazed salmon which were very delicious! Our guests raved how good the food was and all of the staff were very kind. Also, Courtney was very attentive to make sure my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night from getting our dinner to making sure we had our drinks.
-The reception hall was very spacious and I liked how we set up the hall. We had the sweet heart table in front of the fireplace with the DJ/Photo booth to the right, the dance floor in front of the sweet heart table, and the round guest tables behind the dance floor space. The reception hall is all hard wood flooring so the dance floor was just an open space.
Cons:
-My mistake since I did not clarify beforehand but the table numbers and locations were not what I envisioned. I thought table one and two would be closest to the sweet heart table but instead they started in the back. Therefore, both set of parents were sitting in the back of the room which was unfortunate.
-Also, partially our fault but our credit card payment did not go through since it was over the limit. The contact stated the final payment was due 10 days prior to the wedding date but they did not process the payment until the night of the wedding. It would have been nice to address the issue days before instead of having to deal with getting an additional card on the night of the wedding.
Overall, our experience at the Crossings was very positive for our wedding day! Everyone was very kind and made the experience very enjoyable! I would recommend having your wedding at the Crossings!
Let me first start by saying, I've visited more than 10 venues near the beach, trying to find exactly what I was looking for. Not only the price point but also what they offered - the entire package. And I will say without a doubt, The Crossings At Carlsbad, had everything I was looking for. The food was delicious, which is very important since people always complain that wedding food is not good. The fact that there is a full service restaurant at the golf course made the food ready quickly and served hot during our reception. Our guests raved about how good the cocktail hour food was and how delicious the dinner food was. The presentation was great and the service was even better. Speaking of food and service, my day-of coordinator (which is part of the package) saw our printed menus and saw that one of the pass around appetizers during the cocktail hour was printed as an appetizer during the reception/ dinner and made a quick change to have it served at each table before the main course came out. That's what I call paying attention to detail. Now let me tell you about my day-of coordinator, Alex Ghilarducci, she was absolutely AMAZING! A couple months before, I had another coordinator that I was working with throughout the year and emailing but due to some personal matters, she had to move back to the east coast. I was definitely worried about that but Alex reassured me that everything would be fine and that she's read all the emails and all the notes for our big day. And she proved me right. She has an attention to detail, a design eye, and knows how to think quickly on her feet without stressing out the bride. We were only able to meet a few times due to my busy work schedule, yet she knew exactly what my vision was and made it all turn out perfectly. She was THE BEST! She works great under pressure and knows how to accommodate for unexpected things such as a guest bringing their kids without letting me know, she found them seats and got their food. She made the wedding rehearsal go smoothly as well. She was without a doubt, the best day-of coordinator for our big day. I'm really thankful for the last minute change because working with her was such a delight. Now, the venue. I loved the set up of the whole place. We had an evening wedding and I was worried there would still be golfers in the background of the ceremony but there weren't. It was perfect for the outdoor ceremony with the ocean view and an indoor reception. The cocktail hour was nice too because everyone enjoyed the balcony and the outdoor space. They had lots of room to mingle with a great view and great photo ops with the sunset. The staff was on top of everything and so professional and courteous. They made everything go smoothly. I was very happy with this venue and would definitely choose it again! Thank you The Crossings At Carlsbad Team. You guys are absolutely amazing! You made our special day perfect!
We had our ceremony and reception at The Crossings this past August, and it was fantastic! Alex and the rest of the staff were always on top of everything and helped make things go smoothly. They worked well with all of our vendors and were there for anything that we needed. Our guests all really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! The only negative was that we were told security was being required at all functions going forward for an additional cost, about a month before our wedding. The cost was not in our original budget, but we worked with Alex to get it straightened out.
Overall, we were very happy with how things went, and are very happy with our choice. It was a beautiful day, and we're glad we were at The Crossings for it!
My husband and I got married at The Crossings and it was truly the best day ever for us! We wanted an outdoor wedding and indoor reception and The Crossings delivered. Not only do you get an ocean view at the ceremony area without the beach crowd, you also get a breathtaking sunset (especially for cocktail hour if you time it right). The landscaping of the golf course is beautiful, and the architecture of the building is just as amazing.
Our day of coordinator was Alex and she was assisted by Courtney. They were both fantastic to work with; they were very friendly and responded to all my questions immediately. I tend to be very organized in scheduling my to-dos and they made everything really easy on me by being readily available to communicate with and willing to accommodate many of our requests! They made sure everything went smoothly on the big day and our guests absolutely had a blast. I expected to be worried and stressed during the day of the wedding, but it turned out to be an absolute breeze! I am very fortunate to say that I enjoyed my own wedding, and it is thanks to Alex, Courtney, and the staff for such a wonderful evening.
During cocktail hour, we (B&G) got some quick bites of the appetizers and were escorted to throughout the golf course for photos. It was nice and secluded, and made for wonderful photos. We also requested for signature drinks and the bartenders did not disappoint! Our guests loved the service and enjoyed the drinks as much as we did!
We had a lot of kids at our wedding (17 to be exact) and Alex was very obliging. We were provided with highchairs for families with toddlers so that they wouldn’t have to worry about bringing their own from home or having the toddler sit on their parent’s lap. We were also allowed to use the board room as a kid’s entertainment room with toys, goodie bags, and Netflix (cartoon) playing on the TV for the kids.
All our guests were raving to us about the food! They all enjoyed their meals and absolutely loved all the appetizers – the Brie was the big winner for a lot of guests! The wedding cake is also included in your package, so that is one less thing to worry about. Plus, they work directly with VG Donuts & Bakery! My husband and I absolutely love VG Donuts.. so another win there.
The staff was highly attentive. They constantly filled up waters, cleared the tables, and helped with any requests our guests had. As the bride and groom, we were constantly taken care of – apps and champagne were ready immediately after ceremony, our drinks were always full, food was ready for us immediately after first dance, etc.
Overall, I am extremely happy with how everything turned out and I want to sincerely thank Alex and her team for everything!! It will be a day we will never forget! If you are considering The Crossings, go check the place out! I highly recommend it.
My husband and I got married at the Crossings in October. We worked with Alex during the whole process, and she was responsive and so helpful. I fell in love with the venue during our initial tour and knew it was the place for our big day!
Only complaint was that security had to be added and wasn't included in the initial quote. Security was seen texting during parts of the reception. Slightly disappointing, but not a big deal!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful with the help of the Crossings whole team. Our ceremony outside was perfect with perfect weather. The food was delicious. Some guests said their steaks were overcooked. But all the other food was amazing.
Everything ran smoothly and guests had an amazing time!
We can’t thank the staff enough at The Crossings in Carlsbad for making our day the best day ever. We especially want to thank Alex Ghilarducci for being so amazing! She was very responsive and whatever we wanted she made it happen. Alex made the wedding planning process so easy and stress free. The day of, the whole staff was so friendly and made all our guests feel so welcomed. The food was delicious and all our guests raved about it. The venue was naturally beautiful and being able to have a view of the ocean during our ceremony was icing on the cake. We are so thankful that we chose to have our wedding at the Crossings. It was the best decision we made in our whole wedding process!!!
We absolutely love The Crossings!! We wanted to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception- The Crossings is literally the perfect place for that! Gorgeous views as soon as you drive up! When I reached out to the crossings through the knot, Alex was quick to respond and we set up our venue tour! The beautiful green course and beach views were an obvious selling point for us, but what really won us over was the reception room! We had already visited a few other venues who also had very beautiful landscaping, but then you’d get to the reception rooms and they were awful - old carpeting, old chandeliers and scuffed up walls. The crossings reception room on the other hand has beautiful wood flooring, a lovely fireplace, high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows so you can see the outdoor views from inside! It also has a wrap around deck, perfect for watching the sunset during your cocktail hour.
Throughout the whole year of planning, Alex was always available to answer any questions I had, and I tend to ask a lot of questions! She is also very thorough with asking you questions about how you want your day to go to make sure every detail is perfect! The crossings holds a wedding showcase where you can see the venue set up for a wedding, and they have a ton of vendors you can meet with while there!
Our food tasting was was really fun! We brought two of our friends in our bridal party and got to try some delicious food! Another plus is your CAKE is included through VGs donuts!
As happy as we already were with The Crossings, once the wedding day arrived we were BEYOND impressed with Alex and the staff! I showed up with a lot of anxiety that day and Alex assured me not to worry and continuously made sure I was okay throughout the day, while managing the timeline, and all the other surprises that come up during a wedding, like the weather! Alex’s expert instincts from her experience at The Crossings gave us the confidence to keep our ceremony outside as we had dreamed of. Our ceremony narrowly averted the rain and at the last minute she help assure us it was the right decision!
I also want to give a special shout out to the waiter JR who was taking care of my husband and I! He was so great and paid special attention to ours needs!
The entire night of our wedding and for weeks after our guests raved about what an amazing wedding we put on! They loved the venue, they loved the food (especially the coconut shrimp app), and they complimented how smoothly the day went! Without Alex and the rest of the staff at The Crossings this would not have been possible! We love you guys!!!
My husband and I got married at The Crossings just last weekend and I couldn't wait to write a review. The staff were impeccable! Alexis and JR took care of me, the groom and my immediate family like we were Kings and Queens. There were subtle check in's, thoughtful suggestions, and just smiles to spread around the room. Alexis jumped in an held my veil for me as I walked down the stairs, which I couldn't appreciate more! I also had two day of coordinators and the three of these ladies went together like peanut butter and jelly. I highly recommend this place for your wedding. Not only is the venue stunning, the people are amazing, and the convenience of the hotel next door you just can't beat! Lastly, the communication of this team was top notch. Every question, comment or thought I had...they had a perfect answer or solution. I wish I could have a wedding every year and it could be here!!!!
Wedding day was perfect!! Every detail went smoothly thanks to our wedding Coordinator from the Crossings, Alexis Shine. Communicating with Alexis was stress relieving. She always responded within the day, usually within a few hours. Her presence is relaxed but serious, very thorough! Ceremony was lovely on their lawn area with ocean views. Our guests received champagne upon arrival. The craftsman style restaurant for our reception is what I fell in love with. It adds its own warmth and sophistication with fireplace and wall of windows allowing you to see sunsets. I hated the day to end.
