Twin Oaks House & Gardens

was very organized and detailed. The venue is INCREDIBLY pretty, I think it got more compliments than my dress lol. We loved the ethereal vibe but also how cozy it can be. You get to enjoy all of the venues beauty all night. Natalie, our coordinator, made everything easy leading up to the day and made the day run smoothly. She gave recommendations to save money and on good local vendors to work with. Highly recommend this venue for the in house planning, the AMAZING food and the ease of having most of your needs all in one place.

tiful greenery and flowing fountains throughout the property is what sold it for us. In addition to the natural beauty, the Trademark staff was ON TOP of their stuff. Every meeting that I had with the coordinators always left me feeling a sense of relief in all the wedding planning stress. The day of was nothing different, Karamia and Katie on the Trademark team were SOOOO attentive, kind, and made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. I even knocked over some food on my gown (so sad!!) and the girls were on their hands and knees trying to scrub out the stain! In all, I would 100% recommend having your wedding at Twin Oaks House & Gardens. My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Thank you for the perfect day! :)

ything so exciting and fun and was such a joy to plan with. Day of, she checked in on us just enough and had everything arranged exactly as we discussed, and it was just so absolutely beautiful. She made our vision come to life and it was pure magic. Speaking of day of, Katie is a total delight. She always made sure we had water and champagne and anything else we needed. The girls are the perfect amount of professional and fun, where it was so comforting to know you are in the best hands and everything is handled, but it also felt like family was with us the whole time. I had a beautiful conversation with Katie before I walked down the aisle, and I will always treasure that moment with her. <3 The venue brought tears to our eyes the first time we saw it, and the night of our wedding was spectacular. Jenna was fantastic with communicating with us as needed and moving the cake cutting up since toasts ran long to make sure our videographer captured the moment. She kept everything on schedule, and did it with grace and finesse. Regardless of what actual venue you choose, Trademark knows what they’re doing. From the first point of contact to the scheduled phone calls, meetings, the menu tasting (if you opt in for this, which we would totally say to do – make it a date!)… you feel from the start that you are working with people who know exactly what they are doing and do it so well! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the ambiance, the staff, the food… this was a dream come true experience for us, and my husband (SWOON!) and I are eternally grateful to be able to look back on this with so much joy and love. It was extraordinary and we are still floating!

transported into your own oasis! I will admit the beginning planning process was a bit of a bumpy ride with our planners getting switched around- but we ended up with Jenna who I can’t recommend enough! If your booking twin oaks as your venue- you NEED to request her. She was an absolute dream and we are gonna miss working with her! She’s absolutely the sweetest person ever, and will go above and beyond to make your day run smoothly. Her communication is amazing and we felt so at easy knowing she was going to be with us on our special day. Again, Jenna is the best!!!! Also Katie was our bridal assistant the day of- and wow she killed it as well! Both the bridal and groom party loved her to bits! She always made sure we were taken cared of and got us food and water if we needed anything. If you truly want an unique and magical wedding venue- twin oaks is the perfect venue for you!

THE sweetest people instant connection with these two! As a bride a truly felt I had one the best experiences planning our wedding from start to finish. No detail was left behind, our day was organized and everything ran so smooth! Not to mention just how magical and whimsical this venue IS!!! We had so many of our guests tell us just how beautiful everything was and one of the best weddings they have ever attended! Keep it up you guys are killing it!

Trademark knows what they’re doing. I can go on for day’s, but just know we are so happy with our experience at this beautiful venue.

their ability to work with us on a refund. The venue itself is stunning, a true fairytale wedding! Although we wish we could have had our big day there, we are very grateful for having had worked with them <3

y was perfect and I highly recommend this venue

ally liked it too. After finding out that the pricing was within our budgeted range, we signed a contract that day! We did go look at their other venue Green Gables, too. It’s just as lovely, but Twin Oaks had more of the intimate feel that I loved. The best thing about this venue is simply it’s beauty. Because it’s only used for weddings year round, they have made every nook and cranny inside and outside so pretty for photographs and for creating an elegantly natural vibe for the guests. They are constantly improving and adding new details and it’s incredible how they are able to keep the grounds lush and green year round. The bridal getting ready suite inside the historical school house is full of design details that make it unlike anything I’ve ever seen. As an interior designer myself, I’m not easily impressed so my adoration of this venue is hopefully helpful. Many of my guests were designers as well, and they all told me how they’ve never been to a more beautiful wedding. The next best thing about this venue is that it is all inclusive. If you’re like me, you have a job that keeps you very busy and you have a FH who is hands off with most things wedding related. Twin Oaks comes with a wedding coordinator and many built-in services so the planning process was so easy. I had Chloe as my coordinator and she was fantastic at keeping everything organized and on track from beginning to end. Not having to bring on outside vendors for catering, tables/chairs, linens, bartending, decor rentals, and a day-of coordinator was such a load off of my shoulders. They presented me with my options, and I simply had to pick what I liked. The only vendors I had to bring on myself were the florist, DJ, photographer, and desserts. You can go through Twin Oaks for wedding cake and desserts, but we had someone else that we wanted to use. I also loved that there is a permanent reception tent that is included in the cost. Our wedding was in January so there was a risk of having a wet outdoor wedding. If it did rain, there was a built-in backup to have the ceremony in the tent. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day and the sun came out for our wedding! Our wedding day was so special and so much more than both my husband and I ever imagined. Chloe and the Twin Oaks staff were hugely responsible for making our day feel stress free so we could just enjoy our time with each other, family and friends. I read other reviews too, but they still went above and beyond my expectations. The only tiny hiccup that day was my fault and Chloe addressed it perfectly. I forgot to give them the custom table numbers that I had printed for the reception. Chloe came to me and told me they didn’t seem to have the table numbers but that they can simply use the ones that they provide for free. She had the example in her hand and it was an easy ‘yes’ from me. It looks great in my photos and no one else is the wiser. A few weeks later, my husband told me that he never really felt the need for a formal wedding, but he is so happy now that we did it. We have special memories that will forever be tied to Twin Oaks!

which is fine because I loved the place and wanted to see more of it. I didn't live in the area at the time, so they were able to accommodate me by doing a virtual tour. My mom and I skyped in and one of the coordinators showed us around the venue on her phone and answered any questions we had. After the tour, we had a follow-up consultation with her right after. This is where we learned more about their pricing and packages. We ended up booking our wedding on a Thursday because it was about half the price it would have been on the weekend. After that, we were assigned Chloe Grogan as our coordinator. Chloe has been so great throughout the whole process. During our initial phone call, she asked us questions about any vendors we had booked, our wedding party, parents, etc. I have asked Chloe SO many questions over email and she has always been a delight to speak to and answered all my questions in a timely manner. When our 2nd meeting (The design meeting) rolled around, we were able to go in person! Myself, my fiance, my sister, my best friend, and my mom all came and they LOVED the place. We all sat down with Chloe, who was very nice, and she went through all of our options with us for napkins, colors, furniture, rentals, etc. It felt very easy and stress-free which is all I could really ask for with wedding planning. The catering meeting was done at another venue and there, we were able to enjoy an open bar and try all the options for food. Most of it was fine, but we ended up choosing a couple of awesome tasting items! (The Santa Maria Tri-tip and butternut squash ravioli were SO good!) Chloe ended up being our coordinator the whole way through and she was the BEST. She kept the rehearsal running smoothly. It was probably the smoothest rehearsal I had ever been a part of (even though the officiant was late). And the day of, she and the rest of her team were on top of it. I was running late to the venue and the assistants offered me champagne right away which was greatly appreciated because I was an anxious mess. I would start scrambling to take something somewhere in a panic and they would stop me and take care of it for me and offer me more champagne-they were absolutely amazing and I truly felt like a queen that day. Some of my favorite aspects were the twinkle lights all over the venue and the schoolhouse bell that rang when I arrived when our ceremony ended, and for our grand exit-just like a fairytale! Chloe would keep checking in with us on what would happen next and make sure we were ready. The day was over before we knew it and Chloe sent us home with a bag of food which we appreciated SO much because in the craziness, we missed out on trying some desserts-thanks Chloe!! Everyone loved the venue and the staff was so kind to us the whole process. I highly recommend Twin Oaks to anyone who may be considering it. It was truly a magical day for us thanks to them.

our wedding coordinator and she always answered all of my questions and made the process as smooth as possible. The day of the wedding was completely stress free for myself, my husband, and our families because we knew that Kelsey and the Twin Oaks team had it all under control and would just come grab us when we needed to be involved in something. Stunning and unique venue, amazing team, great food; we had the best day ever!

for pulling everything off flawlessly. First of all, Chloe is amazing! She is so calm and sweet. We only met twice and she quietly took notes, and on the big day everything was perfect! Everything was perfectly placed and decorated. She didn't forget a single detail. We had our dog in our ceremony and a lot of small details, and her and her team took care of everything. I'll admit I was a little crazy about keeping things on schedule and she was always there moving things along for me. The food was delicious, some of the best wedding food I've ever had! I heard from my guests that the bartenders were really cool too. Overall wonderful experience! I wish we could do it all over again! Pictures to come as soon as I get them from our photographer.

they knew was right. I didn’t feel that until I visited Twin Oaks. The planning process is great this way you don’t need an outside planner or props. They provide practically everything you need. Natalie was my planner and I’m so grateful that she was there to help me through the planning and on the day of. I cannot even begin to express how wonderful this venue is. Day of they took care of EVERYTHING, if there was a problem we were not made aware of it and never even noticed. I stayed relaxed and had the best possible experience ever because they literally took care of everything. All my decor was set up beautifully and I received tons and tons of compliments about how my wedding was the most beautiful wedding that anyone had seen. Thank you Natalie and Twin Oaks staff, especially food coordinations for accommodating my special requests. Everything was perfect!

were so on top of things. All night long we were getting compliments on what an amazing venue we chose and how beautiful it was. 10/10

as incredibly helpful and patient. She made my day run so smoothly and was always so attentive to the groom and I. I got so many compliments on my choice in venue. It has so much romance and character throughout the property. Every inch of it is well thought out and all of their space is beautiful. Can't say enough good things about Twin Oaks!

into action flawlessly. The day of was so stress free. Their staff works like clockwork to make the day run smoothly. We felt taken care of and so did our guests. We loved this venue.

(the bride) was comfortable, well fed, and on point! She made our day so easy and stressfree! Thank you, Twin Oaks and Kelsey for the amazing wedding location and experience!❤️

get married if you are looking for an outdoors/garden venue and has all types of hidden gems to explore. Jaime and Mary who were our coordinators, were such a great team to work with. They made the planning process so easy and made my dream wedding come to life!! They knew exactly what my vision was for my decor and I was so happy with every single detail they put into our wedding. Especially the pumpkin patch... it was a hit with all of our guests! The day of our actual wedding went so smooth as well and our coordinators were not only on top of everything, but went above and beyond to attend to myself and my husband. To say this venue is amazing is quite an understatement and you will not be disappointed. All of our guests had such a great time and have nothing but positive things about everything. Our wedding was a dream come true and would not have been able to do it without the staff at Twin Oaks.

the type of wedding we wanted to have. Before you know it, we were booking our wedding. (6 months out) We had a lot of working and planning to do in order to make everything run smoothly since we only had 6 months to do it. We personally worked with Serena and she was amazing. She did everything she needed to do to help our special day run smoothly. She was always available by phone or email to answer any questions we had. Every time we had a meeting with her she was very patient and willing to work with all of our requests. I started to get very nervous as the wedding got closer about everything running smoothly. I can honestly say between the work of Serena (and the rest of the team) and all the vendors, I couldn't have asked for a better day. Serena did such an amazing job communicating to us as well as all the vendors. Our day was literally flawless. It went smoother than I could have ever imagined. If you are looking for a venue in the North County area I would recommend this venue 100%. They were able to meet our needs and work with us up until the very last minute of walking down the aisle! Thanks again for making our night so amazing. We couldn't have done it without all of your help!

ests loved the venue and the flow of the day/night. Serena did a great job with my large bridal party and all of our wedding guests. She truly is fantastic! I wouldn't change anything about our day at Twin Oaks House and Garden Estate. The environment was perfect and whimsical. We loved the staff, the food and everything about Twin Oaks House. I wish we could do this day all over again here.

dest imaginations. It is absolutely gorgeous any time of the year. We were worried it might be too hot for the outdoor ceremony but it is very well-shaded. The planning process was so wonderful as well. They seriously make it as stress free as possible. My wedding planner, Serena, was outstanding. She immediately responded to all of my emails very thoughtfully and knowledgeably, even at the planning period where I was sending multiple emails full of questions in a day! She always answered very concisely and was always offering solutions to any problem I came up with. During the planning meetings, she was the perfect balance of suggestions and making us come to our own decisions. Planning the venue and decorations was the easiest part of the whole process because they have such a great system. Some places really nickel and dime you for everything but here there was options for upgrades but they were reasonable and everything included was very high quality and beautiful. On the actual day, Serena and her team really did an amazing job. They assigned people to me to make sure I had everything I needed and Serena handled ALL of the little details of the wedding and timeline. I never once had to worry if we were on schedule or about things not being how I planned. Everything ran so smooth. Everyone loved all of the appetizers and the cocktails! Our wedding day was actually pretty cold so I was worried the tent would be too cold because it is open but their heaters worked wonders! It was so warm and cozy everywhere in the tent but never overly heated. Everyone loved the food and the stations. No one ever had to wait to get food and was able to eat at their own pace and try everything out. People could dance in the tent or find a little corner to hang out and drink. People were tucked into every little corner having an amazing time. Lastly, they were wonderful at cleaning up as the night went on and were wonderful at packing up everything for us at the end of the night. This venue was beyond perfect. It is visually stunning and completely set the entire aesthetic for the wedding. The whole team was so helpful and professional. Serena handled everything so perfectly to make sure everything ran smoothly and was executed exactly as I had envisioned. I can't imagine a less stressful experience in planning a wedding than I had at Twin Oaks. Also, all of my vendors loved working with Twin Oaks because they are so good at making wonderful weddings (especially the photographers because the venue makes all the pictures look so magical). If you want your wedding to be one of a kind and executed by truly dedicated professionals I would definitely recommend this venue.

otographer (hired him separately) and we have the BEST night time twinkle light photos!!

not a big deal in the long run. I loved love LOVED our coordinator Elizabeth. She is the only person that kept me sane as things were kind of falling apart near the end. She answered all my emails quickly and worked fast to resolve issues or inconsistencies in our contract. Definitely would recommend and do it over again - just be prepared for a lot of changes. You have to be flexible :)

e to feel special and completely blown away by the service. My wedding coordinator changed a couple times for different reasons, but Elizabeth Guevara ended up being the one to see us through to our big day. She made it easy to stay on track with planning meetings by letting me know when it was time to set up a date. In the 2 months leading up to our wedding, I had a million questions and felt anxious about little things that I think I was emailing Elizabeth every day if not twice a day and she always responded within an appropriate timeframe and with so much patience. The ENTIRE planning team at Twin Oaks made the wedding planning process easy and straightforward which is exactly what I wanted. When it came to our wedding week, things went even smoother than I could have imagined. I tried to make inventory easy on the setup crew by placing all items in clear storage bins with a list of items in each bin which I think saved a lot of time checking each thing in. Alcohol drop off went great according to my cousin who dropped everything off for us. I was blown away by how every single item I had brought was exactly in its place where I had asked Elizabeth and the team to put it. Not only that, but the venue had been transformed into our own personal heaven on earth with little touches of us everywhere - from the pictures, to the bar menus, to the framed music quotes - everything was where it needed to be. Our guests were in awe of how BEAUTIFUL the venue was. Everyone had a blast exploring the little hidden photo op areas of Twin Oaks. Each area made for a perfect photo moment and our guests loved all of it. The food - to this day we are getting comments about how GOOD the food was at our wedding. We opted for the "stations" with the fried ravioli as a passed appetizer, the sausage kebobs and tomato bisque shooter at their own stations, Santa Maria tri tip, yukon whipped potatoes, veggies, and a chicken dish.The serving staff couldn't get the plated food out fast enough because as soon as they set a tray of plates down, the food was gone. However, I never heard a complaint from any of our guests that they didn't get enough to eat - everyone had enough to eat and was able to go back for seconds or thirds of their favorite dishes. I wish my husband and I could have eaten more, but it's true, when you're the bride & groom you have to expect that you'll be interrupted every 20 seconds during dinner. THANKFULLY, Elizabeth put EVERY single food item on our menu PLUS a slice of our cake and desserts from our dessert table in to go boxes for my husband and I to eat later!!! I nearly cried when I saw the bag of food from our wedding, it was such a nice touch and thoughtful thing to do. The leftovers were just as good the next day if not better. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing that went wrong on our wedding day. And if something did go wrong, my husband and I weren't aware of it at all and it must've been handled by Elizabeth and Leo and the entire team. Twin Oaks will ALWAYS hold a special place in our hearts. The venue was everything I envisioned it to be on our wedding day- romantic, beautiful, charming, and most of all - all about us and the people we love.

rations and plans and have someone else take care of it!
