Just had our wedding day in late January 2026 and I'm still in awe of how well the wedding day went. Granted my husband and I did a lot of planning on our end (as expected for any wedding) but the planning/design process and day of coordination really could not have been any smoother. I would love to give a shout out to our planner/day of coordinator Mikaela for making our wedding day experience such an amazing one! The attention to detail, the execution, and all of the behind the scenes with the staff and vendors were taken care of so we could enjoy our special day. Special mention to Stephanie and Stacy as well! The team took great care of us from start to finish, checking up on us and making sure we were all good to go for the ceremony, reception, and everything in between. Having the right team, keeping communication open, and planning ahead really does make a difference. Needless to say, the breathtaking venue speaks for itself. I recommend Trademark for any couple planning a wedding! read more

We absolutely loved Botanica for our wedding. It was the perfect day ever! I had seen Botanica as one of the venues under Trademark and knew we had to check it out. I had a few loved ones host their wedding at other Trademark venues like Green Gable and really loved the vibe. They do self tours in the mornings on the weekend so it was nice to just wander and check out the space. It's so spacious and you can really do a lot with the space. A note is that because it was such a big venue, it can be hard to gather people so definitely plan around that. We really wanted a venue that had a lot of nature in it and Botanica had that! I wanted an outdoor, romantic atmosphere and it was just perfect! It was such a beautiful location and fun canvas to play with. Trademark also has a catalogue with pieces you could choose to use. We liked that there were pieces to choose from that were included in our package. That helped us a lot with decor. There were other pieces at a cost as well. Trademark will also host menu tasting nights to help choose your hor dourves and mains. We were able to meet Eli, our head caterer there, and he was at the wedding day of. The food tasting was a great experience and he was so, so helpful in answering all of our questions as well. Each Trademark venue comes with a wedding coordinator! They will meet you with you a handful to times to make sure the day of goes smoothly. We had Mikaela and she was the absolute BEST wedding coordinator that we could ask for. From the beginning, she gave us great guidance and information. Any question we had, she had answers! The worksheets that Mikaela had given us were also very helpful! Planning out the schedule so that we were all on the same page was super helpful. She is very detail oriented and gave us all advice that we never even knew we needed. Mikaela stands on business! Dress rehearsal was so perfect in getting last details together. On the day of, she made sure that we did all the things we planned for, even with the unforeseen delays. Her behind the scenes work made everything run so smooth! Our family and friends absolutely loved her. Also shout out to Aiat who specifically supported me and the wedding party. We felt so cared for! Thank you for always offering to get us water, checking in if we needed anything, etc. We also got great feedback from our loved ones that they loved the bartenders; they were very friendly and got drinks out in a timely manner. Honestly, such a beautiful venue and the staff was sooooo great. They made our day so special! Everything looked absolutely beautiful. We're sure that there is a lot of behind the scenes work to make it all happen smoothly. read more

This review is based on my experience as a guest. I attended a wedding here and it was absolutely lovely. You wouldn't really know it's there as you are driving there. You're driving through farm land and an area of home development, but once you enter the driveway of Botanica, you'll come to a beautiful lush oasis with lots of trees and greenery, and a little pond. It gave me Hawaii vibes. The ceremony takes place in the front area, cocktail hour/restrooms are in the middle area, and the dinner reception took place in a tent in the back. The service here of everyone I encountered was very good. The dinner was pretty good, and was served family style. One of our dishes was a smoked salmon & shrimp farfalle pasta - but there was only 2 pieces of shrimp in the whole bowl. While the bartenders were very nice, the cocktails were ok. One major thing they need to improve on is their ceremony set up. If this place is catering to weddings, you have to make sure people can actually see the wedding. The wedding party was situated lower down by the water, think of it like the couple having their ceremony in the orchestra pit. Because of this, anyone sitting past the 3rd row wouldn't be able to watch the ceremony. I was in the 7th row and all I could see were the backs of people's heads. I ended up staring up at the trees and listening to the whole ceremony. =( Luckily their mic & speakers were working. read more

Our wedding truly felt like a fairytale. There's something so magical about the sound of the waterfall and being surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. But what made our experience so much better was being paired with Mikaela as our wedding planner! She was our North Star throughout the whole wedding planning process as well as the wedding day itself! She is so organized and insightful. She patiently answered all of our questions (and there were A LOT of them) and listened to all of our concerns reassuring us that everything will fall into place and it did, thanks to her and her wonderful team! Everything was so beautiful and exactly as we envisioned it. We wouldn't have known what to do without her. I cannot emphasize enough how pivotal of a role she played in the success of our wedding. Our families and friends have nothing but compliments to say about our wedding. To summarize, Mikaela is the absolute BEST! read more

As a guest who was in awe, I had to come and review this beautiful venue. My friends Pauline and Chris choose this venue for their wedding celebration April 2024. The venue was breath taking with so many photo opportunities. Weeks later and I'm still talking about this gorgeous venue. read more

Botanica is the most breathtaking and beautiful venue! We got married here on Friday, February 9, 2024 and it was truly the best day of our life! We were fortunate enough to just miss the storm that was passing through Southern California, but you couldn't even tell the moment you stepped onto the property! Everything was cleaned up and looking so beautiful the day of, all of the staff there really cares about your big day! The Venue - we had just around 150 people and the different spaces available really allow a nice flow and change of scenery throughout the night! We were married in front of the waterfall which was everything I envisioned and more. Then our cocktail hour moved to the upper market lit lawn and really set the tone for the evening! And then we moved the party into the tent for the reception which under the twinkling lights was gorgeous! Our guests were raving about the venue all day/night long! If you are looking for a hidden and enchanted botanical garden, you will not be disappointed! The Value - We truly felt the value was more than worth it! A lot is more inclusive than you think, and although there are additional fees (open bar, security, some additional decor, etc.), there are many other venues out there that charge for way more! We felt everything was very transparent from the beginning which we really appreciated. There is also a planner that you are assigned (who is also your day of coordinator), along with a bridal assistant to help you! The Staff (especially Morgan) - We have nothing but amazing things to say about everyone that works at Botanica! Everyone was wonderful - so helpful, friendly, and truly the best to work with! But we can't say enough amazing things about Morgan!! She was AMAZING to work with! We feel so lucky to have had her on our journey, and couldn't have felt more comfortable and supportive throughout the process. She was so communicative, always checking in on us, and always there to guide and help answer any questions we had! We never felt alone! She paid attention to detail, and made us feel so special on our wedding day! Everything was perfect!! From start to finish we'd do it all over again! Thank you again to all of the Botanica staff (but most importantly Morgan)! read more

We loved our wedding at Botanica and trademark venues made it so easy with their planning services. We loved our event coordinator Marissa, who also acts as a day-of coordinator. Also all of our guests loved the food that came with the venue and the venue is BYOB which was nice financial-wise and also for designing your menu, especially if you want to use different ingredients. The venue itself is incredibly gorgeous, so you also do not necessarily need to splurge on florals or decor. I'm trying to get my engaged friends to get married there too!! read more

It's been real tough recently to write reviews, but I'm glad to be back. What better review then a complete different category that I am used to. A wedding venue! It has been over 2 years since I have been to a wedding venue, and I would say this was not only beautiful, but it also felt safe due to the outdoor environment. I was invited to the wedding as a groomsmen so I was also able to see some places that isn't shown to the public like the rooms suite which was a nice place to hang out as the groom was taking care of his duties for the day. I'm not quite sure if the food was in house, but everything was planned quite nice. The food was good, and the staff was real nice and not intrusive. I am sure this place must be packed with reservations. Even though I don't know exactly what deal the couple got, just the way that the day went made it look like the venue was a really relaxed place to have your wedding read more

I had to come and leave a review for two reasons. 1. Morgan is an amazing wedding planner. I'm grateful the venue came with a planner but I'm extra grateful it was Morgan. I've never planned a wedding before (duh lol) so we were pretty clueless on everything. Morgan was super patient and laid back, listened to what we wanted and made great suggestions. She was fun and positive, she always responded to my emails immediately and most importantly she was so attentive the day of the wedding. She let us know everything that was happening immediately and consistently checked in on us to see if we needed anything throughout the night. 2. This venue is wildly beautiful. I'll be honest, since I was a teenager I've wanted the Lord of the Rings wedding of my dreams lol but I'm older now and wanted more subtle LOTR and this place served it. There is such a beautiful ethereal foresty vibe to this place. It's elegant, gorgeous and green, and also fantastical. We were able to add subtle hints and references to the movies and remain classic and elegant as well. The food was delicious and the decor was beautiful. Thank you Morgan and Botanica for making my wedding amazing! read more

My wife and I were very pleased with our wedding experience at Botanica. The entire year-long process was made simple by our coordinator, Jeselle C! (We are very thankful for her and all her efforts!) Not only is Botanica an elegant venue with a lot to offer, the staff there made our day go so smoothly. Overall, if you're looking to reserve a beautiful, tropical venue for your event, Botanica is the right choice. read more

Yes. It is beautiful and glorius for the young and healthy only. The elderly and the disabled will suffer moving about the place. As I am disabled and having to use a walking cane the walk from the parking lot to the wedding ceremonial site was a nightmare. Then came the visit to the restrooms which were situated further uphill and my nightmare got worse. Sadly, the wedding I attended was very personal, and I had to bite my tounge while swallowing the misery of this crazy location. From the restrooms to the banquet hall was another walk and my injured knee was pretty much on fire. These 'Celebratory Only' proprietory owners evidently have never given any consideration to the elderly or the disabled people. They have no helpers to give any sort of guidance to those in need. Would I recommed this place or dream of going there again? "NO" ! Being a professional musician and having played for over 100 weddings I thoroughly understand the standards of professional gathering environments. In addition, not giving any form of consideration to the disabled and the seniors is absolutely ruthless. Lastly, I must give credit where credit is due. The dinner was fantastic and many of my friends loved it. Well, 'Botanica', please take this review to heart and show some kindness to the those who are at their last legs of life. read more

Botanica is GORGEOUS. I got married here in December of 2022 and the wedding turned out better than I thought it would actually. This venue is a show stopper- there's so many beautiful tropical areas that make the venue it self look like a destination wedding jn hawaii rather than it's location in inland Oceanside. Below are some pros and cons (mostly pros) that I found during the planning process/ day of my wedding Pros - venue is gorgeous. Probably one of the best picturesque places to get married in San Diego. We did our ceremony by the pond and did cocktail hour and dinner in the tent. - venue comes with a wedding coordinator - Morgan was ours and she was great! Communicated well and did everything we asked of her before the wedding and the day of. We did flip cup for our grand entrance and we also did a surprise for the groom that involved his friend dressing up in a dress and a wig to swap places with me for my husband to find the garter. Morgan coordinated both and did a great job! - FOOD. Everyone RAVED about the food at the wedding. We chose the peaches and cream, bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, and grilled cheese with tomato soup for the appetizers and we went with the chicken picatta and the butternut squash ravioli for the entrees. All our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. - bridal suite and groom suites are super cute! Cons - it rained the day of our wedding unfortunately and there wasn't a back up plan. Luckily it stopped raining right before I started walking down the aisle so we managed! BUT I heard one of the staff members say they ran out of towels to wipe chairs down so the guests weren't very comfortable. I think the staff could have been better prepared since we talked about the possibility of rain early on. - tasting isn't included for food. You will have to pay. I also thought there were too many chicken options and not enough beef/ fish options. - we used one of the venues required djs. He was refusing to Mic up our officiant because of the rain. I thought this was stupid. He could have used an umbrella and the Microphone wouldn't get wet. It worked out THANK GOD because the rain did stop and he hooked up our officiant right before the ceremony - for a December wedding , it gets dark early. The groomsman aren't allowed in the suite until 2:30. I thought this was SO annoying. Our wedding started at 3 30 so this gave the guys NO time to relax and hangout at the venue. I really don't understand why they couldn't arrive earlier. Other than that though our wedding turned out AMAZING. Despite the rain I would still choose Botanica every time. Trademark did an amazing job and we are extremely happy with how everything turned out. It was all definitely worth it. read more

Botanica is such a DREAM of a venue and it will forever have a special place in our hearts! When you're there, you feel like you've been transported to a remote, tropical island. So many of our guests shared that it's the most beautiful venue they've ever attended a wedding at. Not only is the venue beautiful, but what the Trademark team offers is so hard to beat. I loved that it was kind of a one-stop-shop where the decor, catering and planning/coordinating team is included- making the planning process so simple. We are so grateful that Jeselle was our wedding coordinator- she is simply AMAZING. She was so organized, made sure we didn't miss any details, and had so many great suggestions when we felt stuck on a decision. Every call with her was so fun, and she made sure that we weren't too stressed over wedding planning- this was invaluable. She helped coordinate with all our vendors, making sure they knew the timeline and answered any questions they may have had. On the day of the wedding, she and the Trademark team made everything look PERFECT. Their execution was flawless and it was so amazing to see our vision come to life. After the wedding, they carefully packed up all our decor and extra alcohol and we basically just had to load the car! I've been a bridesmaid at a few weddings where the bridal party had to breakdown and gather the decor (harder to do when you've had a few drinks). Other awesome things to note: - The Bridal/Grooms suites are beautifully decorated. The grooms suite have a mini putting green which all the groomsmen loved. - Our guests said the food was great! (We did not have an appetite the day of because of all the adrenaline, but the appetizers are delicious!) - Ample and easy parking (we had 180 guests) - Countless photogenic spots for photos The only bad thing that happened was the restrooms got clogged during reception, so all our guests had to use the one restroom at the bridal and groom's suite. That was a bit of a bummer, but other than that- everything was literally perfect. I 100% would recommend Botanica. Wish we could re-live the wedding day again! read more

This tropical garden transports you to an island-inspired venue complete with waterfalls. On the tip of South OC this place is new and super private. This coastal style feels laid-back and still very high end. You could easily play off being in Hawaii without leaving CA. read more

This literally feels like an oasis in the outskirts of Oceanside despite being not more than a couple blocks in the less developed areas of this town. The over all theme feels like Hawaii, with palm trees, manicured lawns, huts, and tropic pond. I went here for a family wedding and as the bride is originally from Hawaii I can see why she would choose such an ideal place. No matter the angle you look, once you're inside the trees that outline the interior, there isn't an ugly space in sight. And everything is spaced out enough for wedding attendees to move and find activities to do. There's a picturesque view of the pond that's great for holding the ceremony in front of. There's a decent sized lawn area with gazebo that hosts a ton of games (lawn bowling, Jenga, corn hole...etc.) as well as provides a space for a photo booth. The food venue is above, where they have a full bar station, ample bathrooms, and a display structure for the cake or pictures--or both. There's even a cave-like area with a dance floor for guests to dance their hearts out to the DJ's tunes. Everything is connected and easy to get to, no matter one's ability to move. The staff is also utterly amazing. They're friendly, helpful, and really on it. They transitioned the chairs from the ceremony area to the tabled areas with minutes. They made sure to help anyone that needed support in getting food or drinks. They also made sure to keep the venue safe. Overall, this is a beautiful venue to have a wedding. With so much beauty given to the manicured grounds, hardly any worry about flowers or extra decorations need be had. As a bride, you could just focus on your dress and bouquet and let the rest of the grounds enhance your ceremony. Also, the efficiently and flow of the wedding as executed by the staff was flawless. I had a great time here and I'd recommend it to any couple seeking to tie the knot. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Botanica and our day of coordinator Jeselle! Neither of us had to think about a thing on our wedding day in regards to venue, decorations, food, guest questions, etc. The day was so perfect and smooth (even with rain all morning), and that is no doubt due to the work of Jeselle and the whole team at Botanica. The planning process is made fun and easy through 3 meetings with your coordinator. Jeselle was great about helping us with suggestions when requested and also letting our wedding day be our personalities! There are great food and decor options to choose from. All of their venues are gorgeous, but when we walked the grounds of Botanica, we knew that was the vibe we wanted. Can't thank you all enough for making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned!! read more

Came for a wedding and this is really nice venue! It's tucked away from the road and there is a lot of parking (which is all free by the way).

Reviewing as a guest to a wedding in June 2023. This was SO BEAUTIFUL. We arrived in time to walk around the grounds and take our own pictures, the trees, the pond, everything was so beautiful. The ceremony was outside, and we had just perfect weather. The party was in a tent, which was also beautifully decorated. Food was delicious, it was served to our table family style. Had a blast. read more

Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our wedding/wedding venue was! Botanica ended up being a really amazing choice for us. While there is a difference between having a wedding planner and a venue coordinator, our venue coordinator made everything happen beautifully! What's included: -A first phone call to establish relationship + your vibe -An in-person meeting for choosing decor -In person tasting is an additional cost but very fun, organized, and highly recommended -A final in-person meeting with your coordinator. At this meeting, she took all of our vendor info and contacted them prior to our wedding to give them the right timeline, confirm delivery, etc. (s/o Morgan!) -A bridal assistant who was SO helpful for me to have (s/o Annabelle!) You can also send them a ton of emails to ask questions, get advice, etc. We did our ceremony at the waterfall, cocktail hour on the lawn, then reception in the tent. Highly recommend! read more

My now husband and I got married at Botanica this month and absolutely loved it. This venue is absolutely beautiful and you feel like you are in your own little oasis. I had so many guest share that Botanica was one of the most beautiful venues they have been to. Trademark does such a nice job attending to guest and organizing the entire wedding day. Morgan Costa was our wedding coordinator and she did an amazing job of communicating and having the day flow so beautifully. While she played an important role on our wedding day she was just as helpful with answering all our questions in a timely manner before the big day. Thank you again for everything :) read more

It's been a little under 3 weeks since I got married at Botanica, and I've been waiting for the wedding high to wear off before leaving my review of the Trademark team that took care of us...but honestly, I'm still so elated every time I look at the photos from our big day! I will never ever stop singing the praises of Morgan Costa, the coordinator that was assigned to us. From the very beginning, she was so incredibly kind and accommodating to all my questions and ideas. I always felt so taken care of, and even though I knew for a fact that I was not the only bride Morgan had around the time of the wedding, I felt incredibly prioritized. Trademark Venues is a well oiled machine when it comes to weddings, and it absolutely showed in the staff that they gave to take care of us during the whole process. I postponed my wedding from 2020 to this year, and changed venues and cities. I often think that it was a blessing in disguise, because Botanica wasn't available at the time when I begun planning in 2019. I was so stressed out trying to plan most of my wedding on my own till we picked Botanica, and then I had Morgan to help me along! She made it so incredibly easy to plan things, and my suggestions were always greeted with the same enthusiasm from beginning to end. Our day of was so effortless and so stress free, and I will always be grateful to Morgan and the rest of the Trademark team for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams. I honestly have withdrawals from emailing Morgan once a week, because she was always so upbeat and positive about everything. I hope that future brides interested in Botanica will get the same opportunity to work with Morgan, because she truly was the best. read more

Botanica was a dream venue. The surrounding area around the venue is not impressive but once you drive through the gates of Botanica, you are instantly taken into a tropical setting. The venue is enclosed and once you walk into the main grounds, it feels like you are no longer in Oceanside. The venue has a groomsmen suite along with a bridal suite that is very VERY nice! Botanica also has a very nice outdoor and tent option for your reception. It also has multiple areas for your ceremony. The layout of the grounds flows well and at night, has a real spark with the market lights. Plenty of parking and all the staff was very helpful/friendly throughout the set up and wedding day. Morgan was a great coordinator. She made sure all our questions were answered and was so helpful through each of our meetings. The whole Trademark process made our wedding planning as stress free as it could have been. She was knowledgeable on all aspects of the venue including the wedding day details. After all our meetings we felt confident going into our big day with Morgan. read more

My husband and I got married on 10/15/21. Our day was a dream come true, and honestly it was seamless in all of the meetings and planning leading up to it BECAUSE of the trademark team.

Our guests said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been to, the trademark team absolutely did amazing. The food was delicious and everything was set up exactly how we wanted it.

I can't even put into words how beautiful our wedding turned out. Botanica was my dream wedding spot close to home and it did not disappoint. I was a little hesitant at first about the food after the tasting event since many of the items were cooked poorly, but everything tastes 1000x better the day of our wedding. Loved the family style food service too. Our wedding coordinator Jeselle was phenomenal from start to finish. She was very easy to approach, quick to respond to all emails, & efficient with all our meetings to make sure we were on track with our vendors & planning. During all the crazy rain and hail we experienced the day of, she kept constant communication with us and kept us on our timeline! Highly recommend Jeselle if you're planning on having your wedding at Botanica. If you're using Dancing DJ Productions through the venue we'd highly recommend DJ Mitch if you're going for an EDM genre wedding. Happy planning everyone! read more

I was a guest recently so keep this in mind. The venue is gorgeous! Beautiful. However, as a guest and you should know this because you want your guests to enjoy your celebration. At dinner they ran out of dressing! Like what? Don't you do this every weekend? How do you run out of dressing? Does my friend who paid lots of money know some of her guests got salad with no dressing? Also, we asked for more bread. Maybe it's only one piece of bread per person. I don't know. But we were also told they ran out of bread. ‍ When booking make sure you ask them to please have enough dressing and bread. read more

Chad and I had our wedding at the Botanica venue on July 2nd and it was the most perfect celebration with over 170 of our closest friends and family! This is long overdue but working with Trademark Venues was nothing short of amazing! The venue was BEAUTIFUL! We visited a couple other trademark venues (both as wedding guests and as potential venues for our own wedding), but Botanica definitely stood out over the rest. Admittedly, driving to the venue, you wouldn't expect it to look the way it does, but once you step inside, it truly felt like a little piece of paradise. The grounds are clean, well kept, and spacious but still very intimate! Both the bridal and groom suites were perfect to get ready in, take pictures and/or just relax before your big moments! There are plenty of spots on the grounds where the natural backdrop provides a picture perfect moment for you and your special someone. Onto the process... Planning a wedding is such a hectic process and the team made us feel so comfortable through the whole thing. Special shout out to Jes, who took care of us from the planning, communication, and getting ready day of and all the way through the end of the night. She was mindful of everything and made sure we were happy! Working with Jes made it feel like she was just a friend helping us out! Loved that! Our parents also loved Jes and spoke highly of her and her attention to detail from our wedding, set up and take down. The bartenders, security, and all other staff working that night were also all so graceful and helpful to not only Chad and I, but also all of our guests. We heard great reviews from everyone in the days (and months!) since the wedding. That's how you know it was amazing! Also wanted to shout out Alyssa she was there by my side from the beginning making sure I was taken care of as well as my bridesmaids. I don't think our drinks were ever empty, and Alyssa also made sure I got food and ate so thank you so much you are awesome and such a joy to work with on my big day! It's been two months since our wedding and it's been great reliving the night over and over with our pictures, videos, and conversations with our friends and family! If you're considering a beautiful venue with amazing people to work with from the get-go, go with Botanica or any of the trademark venues - you won't be disappointed! Ask for Jes too! read more

Botanica was an absolute dream to work with! So many of our guests keep telling us how beautiful the venue was! We completely believe this venue is the best of the best and it really exceeded our expectations. Not only was the venue stunning, but Natalia our coordinator is really what made our experience so amazing! From the very beginning of planning she helped us answer all of our questions, and provided suggestions to ensure a picture perfect wedding day. On the day of our wedding she was especially amazing. She made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted it and she even checked in on us and made sure we always had a drink in hand. At the end of the night she also made sure all of our decor packed up and ready to put in our cars. All of the staff were incredibly helpful and nice and made sure the evening was fun and went smoothly! We are so happy we decided to book our wedding at Botanica, and we highly recommend them! Lots of options for decor are included, or available for upgrades which makes it feel like a one stop shop. THANK YOU! read more

Getting married at Botanica was an absolute dream for my wife & I. From our first tour a year ago, we knew this was our venue. The team at Trademark was very organized, and made the entire process very manageable and enjoyable for us. Our planner Jeselle was a calming presence who put together all the pieces of our vision together perfectly! We did have some rain on our big day, but the improvised indoor ceremony with the window out was incredible. We were able to get all the photos we wanted around the venue showcasing the tropical greenery during rain breaks - which is huge for us. We received nothing but compliments from our guests re: how beautiful the venue, along with the quality of the appetizers (get the grilled cheese w/ tomato bisque) and dinner. If you are looking a gorgeous unique venue for your big day, we would recommend Botanica and the Trademark team to anyone. read more

We had an excellent experience! My daughter & her fiancé live in WA. And, as the mother of the bride - I had many interactions with Hannah - our wedding planner. She was very patient, answered my emails & took care of everything during the entire wedding process. All of the wedding guests have said that the night was "magical ". The only feedback that I would add in hindsight, was that there should have been more than one bartender. The line got a little bit long for drinks. Hannah was amazing! I highly recommend. read more

We just had our wedding here last week and it was everything I ever Imagined. Morgan was our coordinator and she was amazing from the start! There were a lot of things as far as decor that I just chose from the catalog cause I liked it but really had no idea where it would go and stuff the day of but Morgan handled it all and it was perfect! Everyone has continued to tell me every day it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to and that all goes to the amazing team that pulled it all off and just botanica itself is absolutely stunning. I had a place picked out that I swore I'd get married at for years before and when I went there I felt nothing, then we came to botanica second and right when I got out of the car I knew. It was everything. Foresty and whimsical with a hint of tropical. It was perfect and it truly speaks for itself. Morgan helped us with everything, our design meetings, scheduling our food tasting, recommending outside vendors and it was all amazing. I had a lot of stress going into a covid wedding but honestly even if anything did go wrong I would've never noticed because it all felt like the fairytale I had dreamt of for so long. Seriously get married here, you won't regret it. I'll dream about this day for the rest of my life and a huge thanks to Morgan, all my vendors and this just absolutely stunning venue and the trademark team. read more

See all

The fact that friends of friends are STILL talking about my wedding at Botanica is unheard of. Everything from the grounds to the service and even the food (we all know wedding food can be bland) was absolutely incredible. This venue helped bring the wedding of my dreams to life, and my husband and I constantly reminisce through our photos and talk about what a perfect day it was. I cannot say enough incredible things about Stephanie (our day-of coordinator and voice of all reason). I truly didn't worry about where one single thing was placed because she understood my vision and made sure every detail was to my liking. We are truly blown away by how everything turned out with only the BEST memories to look back on forever and ever! read more

We had our wedding here in December 2021 and all of our guests were very impressed with the venue. There are so many different areas of the venue which was our favorite part! We had the ceremony near the cove, our cocktail hour on the market lawn, and our reception in the tent area in the back. I loved this aspect of the venue because it kept our guests guessing what was going to happen next. I did get a little nervous because a couple months before the wedding we went to the venue and noticed that it didn't look like it had been taken care of. There were cigarettes in the plants, the groom suite was dusty and full of leaves, the tent had noticeable stains all over it, and there were a ton of bugs. We brought our concerns to the Trademark team and eventually all of these issues were sorted out before our event which we are very grateful for. They even added beautiful lights to the tent which made it look absolutely magical! Morgan was our coordinator and she was wonderful! She made sure to keep us updated when it came to our concerns with the venue and was extremely helpful on the day of to make sure the event ran smoothly. She checked in on us periodically throughout the year to see if we had any questions or updates with our wedding plans and was always very quick to respond to us if we did have questions. The food offered by this venue is farm to table, we chose to have it served family style and boy was it a hit! All of our guests raved about the food at our wedding and loved the idea of it being family style because it gave everyone at the table a chance to mingle regardless if they knew each other or not. The bar was also BYOB which was AMAZING and another huge pro to this venue. We went to Costco and bought all the booze for a reasonable price and then the Trademark team served whatever we brought. You end up saving a ton of money this way and it made it very easy to have an open bar which lets face it is what the people want! The bridal suite was too small for us to get ready in but that is only because I had 9 bridesmaids. For a smaller wedding party the suite is beautiful and very clean. The bridal suite assistant on the day of was fabulous, friendly, and very accommodating. Overall, I would definitely recommend getting married here. Although we struggled a little bit with the cleanliness of the venue months prior, all of our concerns were addressed by the Trademark team eventually. The pictures came back unreal and people CANNOT stop talking about our wedding, saying it was the most elegant and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Morgan made sure that all of the decor was put out the way we wanted it to be and that our timeline was followed. She also made sure that Nate and I had food, drinks, and anything else we needed throughout the night! I am very sad its over, but if I had to I would pick Botanica all over again :) read more

This venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff of the venue was incredibly helpful. My wife and I had our ceremony and reception here and never stopped receiving compliments on the venue. The venue also included all the caterers, day-of staff, bartenders, and of course our coordinator. Our coordinator Morgan made our lives easy when planning this wedding. She was always fast, responsive, and thorough in her emails and was able to help us out in every way to make sure we had what we needed when the big day came. The coordinator along with the rest of the staff were professional, quick with service, and never missed a beat. I would recommend Botanica for any wedding. read more

We got married at Botanica about a month ago and it was such an incredible experience working with Trademark. Our coordinator Jeselle went above and beyond to make our day so special and it went without a hitch. We found the entire planning process so organized and seamless and it was truly the best day ever. Everything was done so well, so professional and we are still getting so many compliments. Thank you to Trademark and especially Jeselle for making our dreams a reality! Would highly recommend! read more

I just got married there a week ago and it was the best day of my life. This venue is next level. Morgan, the saint that she is, was our planner/coordinator and brought all of my ideas to life. She was so sweet, positive energy, flexible, adaptable, and extremely diligent. We couldn't have done it without her! read more
