    I was notified that the person we worked with is no longer an employee. Hopefully, the new person is great.

    Dear Hubby and I have visited Hartley Botanica several times over the years. We have a photo of…read moreour now-22 year old grandson in Papa's arms when he was maybe 3 years old there! We were checking out their collection of exotic birds at the time. We tried to take our granddaughter somewhat recently and caught them on a day when they were hosting an event, so we didn't stay. Thankfully, the Camarillo Garden Tour featured this charming venue as one of their featured gardens in this year's event. It was fascinating to see how the property has evolved since we last spent time there. They have definitely made their primary space into a wedding venue haven with multiple garden "rooms", and a gathering space with dance floor and refreshments areas for the reception part of the special occasion. There is a small formal rose garden near the entrance for a welcoming space. The parrots and other tropical birds are no longer there, which is a shame from our perspective. I can imagine that they might be distracting for the wedding events, so there is a sense to moving on with retiring that aspect of the gardens. The owners were very gracious to have their lovely place serve as the spot where refreshments were served as part of the tour, plus the opportunity drawing prizes were displayed there, a small boutique, and a live band played to entertain the garden tour guests. We enjoyed lingering for a while. We also explored all of the main areas of the property. Delightful! The gardens have matured beautifully over the years, and the added artistic touches of lighting, stamped pathways with leaf shapes, and other charming elements speak well of the creative vision that brought this space to life.

    After touring venues consistently on Sunday mornings, we canceled future tours after visiting…read moreHartley Botanica. When looking for a venue, we wanted it to be outdoors and breathtaking since both of us enjoy a special connection to nature. We also were not able to consider a destination wedding because many of our guests live locally and our love story mainly takes place in Southern California. For all of these reasons and more, Hartley Botanica became our venue. The team works incredibly hard to meet rising expectations and they definitely deliver. They are a dream team to work with and I love every step of the planning process. Planning a large event, especially a wedding is complicated and the team does their best to keep it simple and grant your every request. We are so thrilled with how our wedding turned out.

    We considered this venue for my first daughter's wedding 3 years ago, and TBH, although the venue…read morewas incredible...we had a bad experience with Jenn and seeing several reviews of others who experienced what we did...so we opted out of considering the venue. However, when my next daughter, FSIL and I started looking at venues...I kept thing about Maravilla, as I knew it was exactly what they were looking for. We talked about the past experience her sister and I had, and so at first did not want to consider the venue. But-I thought-maybe Jenn had a bad day the last time we were there-and we opted to give the venue a chance. I am glad we did. Jenn was very friendly, accommodating and informative. It was as if I was meeting a completely different person. My daughter's wedding here was in October-and it was absolutely wonderful. The venue is just gorgeous, the grounds are meticulously kept-and without a doubt the wedding coordinator Mel that is part of the package at Maravilla was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She made my daughter's day stress free and perfect. She kept everything on schedule and handled every/any issue that came up immediately. The Glam house is fantastic-but I do not like that they boot you out several hours before the event and give you a miniscule trailer for the bridal party. Only a few of our 7 people could fit in the trainer room at one time, there was only 2 seats. And we had to move all of our things there while we were only half ready. The food was very good, however we were forced to use their one caterer (Command Performance)...and while every other caterer offers a free tasting for up to 4 guests- Command Performance told us that since they were our only option, they would not do a 'free tasting' but would 'agree' to one for us @ $300 for the couple and $150 per additional person. The real rub was when my friend's son got married at the Gerry- you can choose your caterer from a list. And Command Performance is on that list-and they got free tastings. When we brought that to his attention, he said-"well they have choices of caters, so in that case, we will give free tastings". Pros: Beautiful setting Excellent parking Secure location Easy access Grounds are meticulously kept Fantastic support staff Coordinator Mel Glam room/house Lots of prop choices from her 'barn' Cons: Limited time in the glam house Extremely small trailer room for the bridal party after glam room Forced to use from their limited vendors/lack of competition allows them to take advantage of you Seems like many standard items have an 'extra' charge

    Maravilla Gardens was the most incredible wedding venue! I just had my wedding on 09.13.2025 and…read moreheard nothing but amazing things from my guests about the beautiful landscaping and views! The venue was perfect for wedding vision: my romantic, elegant, garden! The staff are all so nice. One of the biggest things that led me to book Maravilla Gardens, besides the aesthetic, was the glam studio! As the bride I didn't want to get in a car after putting on my dress and being dolled up. The glam studio is on site and available all day until a couple hours before the ceremony! It made the day that much more seamless to already be on site with my wedding party, family, and event staff! The venue also comes with a coordinator, Mel. If I could write a separate review just for Mel I would give her 100 stars. She was made to be a wedding coordinator. She was so thoughtful and attentive throughout the planning process. She handled the rehearsal so seamlessly and made sure everyone knew what to do on the day. When the chaos of the wedding day actually began, Mel was ON TOP OF IT. She made sure everything happened on time and without flaw. I literally had the easiest day/ night for a wedding- I didn't even know that was possible. She made sure my fiancé and I ate and got all the photos we wanted as well. She checked in on me but was never in the way. She was assertive but never rude. She was attentive but never a bother. She was absolutely incredible and I would hire her for every event I have from here on out if she is available. Thank you so much Mel! Love, Rachael and Faraaz
