So grateful we had our wedding at Botanica. It was a dream come true, and I knew the minute we saw the waterfall that it was the venue for us. Trademark has a very professional team that will do its best to make sure your day goes above what you wanted. Despite the ups and downs that will always come with planning a big event, when it came down to it, the day was truly perfect. I appreciated the all-inclusive package Trademark offered. They provided a lot of what we needed in their package and only splurged on a few extra items to further customize our day. Trademark has a very professional team, and we loved having Mikaela as our planner. She was very intentional with us and dedicated to making the planning process seamless. Reviewed on 29-12-2023

This venue reflected our style and personality well so it felt fitting and we knew at first sight that this was the venue for us. It's not too glamorous but is naturally beautiful with all the greenery and trees. It fitted our bohemian/classic mix style very well. The ceremony location with the bond and the rocks is gorgeous. We had our wedding in August and everyone was concerned about the sun and the heat but by the time our ceremony began the sun wasn't at its peak and there was plenty of shade with the trees. Our wedding coordinator, Natalia, from Trademark Venues, was amazing and we are so grateful to her and the wait staff for making the day run so smoothly. Reviewed on 13-12-2023

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! Reviewed on 10-09-2023

Absolutely everything was fantastic.

Morgan, our coordinator, and Botanica were simply AMAZING! Everyone kept talking about how impressed they were by her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and direction. She has such an incredible, calming demeanor that was so appreciated throughout the hustle and bustle of a wedding day. Thank you Botanica team for being so thoughtful of us and making sure we had food and everything taken care of. You were constantly checking in on us and we felt so supported and loved all day. The hours and hours of work she put in truly helped give us the wedding of our dreams! Morgan was so easy to work with, and our day was made so special because of her and her team! She is truly incredible at what she does! Reviewed on 07-05-2023
Lauren Ashworth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-04-2023 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 :) Reviewed on 20-04-2023
Rachel B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-02-2023 I cannot recommend this venue enough!!! They made the entire process so smooth and easy. I know weddings are daunting with cost and options. My husband and I were initially a little skeptical, but Trademark (the company who owns the venue) was a dream. There are so many details and things that need to be coordinated and managed and the team at Botanica took care of every last detail. Morgan was our wedding coordinator and she was a gem! She was kind, patient, and was so incredibly thorough. She made our wedding day an absolute dream! She even helped pin my dress when it ripped on the dance floor. This team goes above and beyond and they made our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. Not to mention, it’s SO BEAUTIFUL! This place was worth it! Reviewed on 13-02-2023
Caitlin Kelly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2021 Beautiful dream venue. Felt like we were in Hawaii in a tropical oasis! It’s a tropical botanical garden with an amazing pond and waterfall at the ceremony site. To die for. I’d choose this as my wedding venue over and over again. Reviewed on 10-02-2023
Kaitlin Mazzocco(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2022 Botanica was a DREAM wedding venue! All of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue, how well kept all the foliage was, and how amazing the food was. We truly feel like this venue is one of a kind and it really superseded our expectations. Not only was the venue amazing, but Morgan our coordinator is really what made our experience so positive. From the beginning stages of planning she helped to answer all of our questions, and provide suggestions to ensure a smooth wedding day. Day of she BLEW ME AWAY! As a wedding planner myself it is very hard to release control to someone else, and let me tell you we couldn't have been in better hands. She set up everything exactly how we wanted it and paid close attention to detail, she checked in on us and made sure we always had a drink in hand, and made sure that we stayed according to the timeline the entire night. At the end of the night she had all of our decor packed up and ready to put in our cars which made the end of the night clean up so quick and easy for my family and friends. All of the staff (bartenders, bridal suite staff, servers) were incredibly helpful and nice and made sure the evening went off without a hitch!My only feedback is that there were more required fees than what we were told during our booking process for security, bartenders, food tasting etc. They wouldn't provide us with a proposal before booking, which is why we were unaware of these fees before booking. Morgan our coordinator was quick to loop us in on these fees early in the process so that it was not a surprise when it came time for final payment, however it would have been nice to know about these fees prior to booking. All in all we are so happy with our decision 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! Reviewed on 17-10-2022
Alex Ustick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2022 My husband and I got married on July 14th at Botanica. It was such an amazing experience. The trademark venues team helped us every step of the way and took care of everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day because everything went perfectly. Morgan was an amazing event planner and an overall wonderful person! Botanica is so beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better location or wedding team.

Nicole Truong(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2022 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! ☺️ Reviewed on 05-09-2022

She was so helpful from the beginning of our planning process to the very end and was just an absolute gem to have with us on Saturday. Jes and the whole Trademark staff were so kind and all of our family and friends raved about how smoothly our day went.

Tory Haynes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-03-2022 This review is FAR overdue & the Botanica/Trademark Staff deserved more from me because we had the most amazing experience working with their team. Stephanie W. goes above and beyond to make sure you feel confident your special day will go smoothly, not missing one single detail or item. Stephanie was so great to work with providing insight and advice leading up to our big day and made sure I felt calm, cool, and collected the day of. The Botanica staff were professional, engaging, and friendly. The food was amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was! They did not feel like they were in Oceanside but rather at a destination wedding somewhere tropical. The whole day was perfect and was better than I could have imagined thanks to the work done by Trademark and Stephanie. I highly recommend Botanica to any potential couple. It is beautiful, unique, well-kept and provides a memorable environment for both you and your guests. I wish we could do it all over again! THANK YOU TRADEMARK! Reviewed on 31-08-2022

Emyli Akrawi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-06-2022 Many years ago (before it was known as Botanica) I attended a wedding here and vowed that I would come back with the love of my life someday. Since it had been so long and we’re from Vegas, it took me a while to find it again. When we came to tour the venue, it was no doubt love at first sight for the both of us! My husband and I got married here on 6/6/22 and it was one word: MAGICAL. The venue itself is nestled in a tropical paradise with natural spring bed waterfalls and ponds… you are literally surrounded by the sounds of nature. The pictures they have here honestly do not do Botanica any justice— you have to see it to believe it! Our guests came in from all over the world and they were just completely in awe about how beautiful and stunning the venue was and how everything was set up. There’s the best of both worlds: plenty of indoor and outdoor space with winding pathways in between. It’s like a tranquil little oasis, a piece of heaven on Earth... it WILL take your breath away. All of our guests kept telling us that Botanica was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been to! Our coordinator was AMY (who was assigned to us last minute) and honestly, it felt like it was meant to be because she couldn’t have been more perfect. The wedding could not have been a success without her. Everything from start to finish was SEAMLESS. She listened intently to all of my requests and knew what to do right away. I consider myself quite a perfectionist, so Amy really exceeded my expectations by the way she meticulously handled everything with such thoughtfulness and efficiency. Our family was so impressed with the way she coordinated our wedding, even though we expected something to go wrong— literally everything came out PERFECT, I’m still stunned by it. I’m so grateful for Amy, as well as Trademark Venues, for creating such a dream come true wedding that we get to hold in our hearts for the rest of our lives! Reviewed on 25-06-2022

J.J. Mariani(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2022 My partner and I are one week post wedding day and still reminiscing on how amazing our experience was with our coordinator + planner, Morgan (included when booking the venue), and the whole day at Botanica. From the moment we stepped foot at the venue we knew it was where we wanted to get married and Trademark made it super easy from day one as we began planning. Morgan was so fantastic with our vision and all of my obsessive and Type A tendencies while we prepared for our wedding day, but words fail me when it comes to the actual day-of coordination. Morgan was instrumental down to every last detail to make the day seamless and perfect (and constantly tending to us throughout the day), and we can't thank her enough for allowing us to be actual guests at our own wedding. She had great recommendations and provided many planning resources along the way as we were putting together our team of vendors, and the best part is that we came out of the whole experience with new friendships too! Our guests couldn't stop raving about our venue and all the details and decor (many of which were already included with the venue cost). Botanica is the perfect slice of tropical paradise tucked away in Oceanside and the ultimate hidden gem. We had many folks asking us how we even found this venue in the first place, and there's not one spot that doesn't photograph like an absolute dream. We had the best time at our wedding (and wish we could relive it), but are so thankful to be able to cherish the memories made at this unforgettable space. Reviewed on 07-06-2022

From the day we signed the contract until the wedding day, everything was very smoothed and organized. I really appreciated that I could email our coordinator to ask questions along the way and the day of they did a great job of taking care of everything so that we didn't have to stress!

My husband and I visited a handful of venues, majority of them owned by Trademark Events and Botanica was our first choice. When we toured the venue for the first time, we both immediately knew this was the perfect venue for us. It literally feels like you're in a majestic tropical oasis. It is filled with so much greenery, you really don't need much florals or decor if you plan to have a wedding here. We had our ceremony at the waterfall, cocktail hour at the lawn, and reception under the tent. All of our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and said that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to. They also really enjoyed the food and the unlimited drinks! Our wedding day went so smoothly with the help of our coordinator Morgan and the rest of the Trademark team. Special thanks to Morgan for helping us plan our wedding from the very beginning. I sent her a lot emails throughout the wedding planning process and she was always quick to respond and professional. What is great about booking Botanica and any of the other venues owned by Trademark is that it includes a wedding coordinator, catering, BYOB (which will save you a lot!), day-of-staff, bridal assistant, bridal & groom's suite, and trendy decor (you can upgrade for additional costs). Botanica is truly a dream come true... my husband and I will never forget our wedding day and how perfect it turned out to be. Highly recommend! You'll definitely feel like you're in Hawaii!!

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.

My coordinators, Stephanie and Jeselle, where THE BEST!They helped me plan everything, from beginning to end; I felt more than prepared for the wedding well in advanced, so I got to just be excited for it in the few weeks beforehand, instead of stressed about any details! Like all big events, there were a couple of mishaps, but the Trademark team handled them perfectly so I could continue to have a great night! Stephanie went out, personally, to get more Vodka when we ran out of it (I didn't even know we ran out until the next day)! The food was also excellent! We enjoyed the tasting event that Trademark does, it helped us make a mostly informed decision, although not all of their dishes were offered at it. Many people said the food was the best they've had at any wedding! I have to recommend the Vegan Coconut Curry; we had it at our vegan option, but looking back we should have made it 1/2 of our main options! The service was excellent, even though I later found out they were short staffed (due to Covid I'm sure)! We used the entire venue, which I think it less common, but we had cocktail hour in their tent and the rest of our wedding in the main lawn area! It made it so our guests got to see the whole venue and they couldn't stop complimenting ow gorgeous it was!
