“Where do I even begin? Wedgewood Weddings at the Fallbrook Estate far exceeded all our expectations! Our planners, Angela and Lauren, were absolutely amazing. They stayed on top of every request and were quick to answer all our questions throughout the entire planning and execution process. They made everything run so smoothly, both leading up to the big day and on the day itself, which helped take a huge weight off our shoulders. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire staff for putting together the most perfect wedding day. Everything was a dream come true from the ceremony to the DJ, food, and decorations. I truly couldn’t recommend a more beautiful venue or a more dedicated team to help celebrate such a special moment! -Alexis & Roman”

“I could not recommend Wedgewood Carlsbad Windmill more highly. For half of what we would be paying at any other venue, I feel that we received top-notch service, aesthetics that matched who we are as a couple, thoughtful coordination, and worry-free execution. Our coordinator, Brianna, went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. We loved our DJ, Noah (with DJ Maestro), who was coordinated through the venue. It was a seamless experience that I genuinely feel saved us a ton of money and gave us MORE value than a traditional venue.”
