We got married Dec 2nd, 2023 at Carlsbad Windmills w/Wedgewood. Working with them for our wedding was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Organized and meticulous team. Beautiful location, centralized to beach and a hotel next door not associated with the Carlsbad Windmill. Our whole vision came to life and everyone is still talking about how it’s the best wedding they have been to. Highly recommend!

We hosted our daughters wedding in June 2023. Embarrassing. For close to 30K for our package, it wasn't worth it.The pros:The venue is pretty.Good weather.Convenient hotel (although not nice) and food hall.Photographers that venue recommends are great.Food is decent.Bartenders were good.Security (Ralph) was a nice guy.The cons:Venue was dirty.Details were missed, IE correct color of napkins/having toilet paper stocked in restrooms.EVERYTHING is extra, even when you opt for the highest package like we did.$250 is their favorite number.If you remove something from your package they only credit you half of the cost, but If you add something you pay full price.Some vendors good.Bakery was rude to my daughter because she didn't want to pay extra for a tasting that was supposed to be included, so we got desserts from somewhere else.Florist added additional fees and charged WAY too much for what you get(bridal bouquet is NOT included in package)DJ charges extra for lights that should be included.Hotel is disorganized/not very clean. Rooms are basic.Don't let the bridal suite fool you.You don't deal with the same person when coordinating details so many things get missed, IE which side the brides/grooms families should sit on.Our guests had to be moved before the ceremony.When things weren't going well, I requested a meeting on a Tues, and they said no, they had staff meetings and were too busy, but our 10 day meeting was on a Tues and we were the only people there and we could move our appt \"to any time\" because \"Tuesdays aren't busy\".They don't have much to chose from for table decor, you are left buying things like table runners, even though they are supposed to be included.You can't have real candles at this venue.We didn't get stuff we were supposed to like fruit with kids meals, no bread at certain tables, they poured champaign but never did a toast.They ran out of appetizers after 15 minutes and many didn't get any.They ask for boxes for leftover desserts but don't package them up and send them.We brought desserts and they wouldn't keep them in a frig the night before even though there was no event the day before.Every chance they got to say NO, they did. My daughter requested watermelon margarita as her signature drink and they said no. After she changed her custom bar sign to reg margarita, they said ok we'll do it.They said we could request brands for the bar but they only accommodated three and that was like pulling teeth.We had to buy coke for the bar because they wouldn't provide it.The venue was dirty. Our dresses were black at the bottom from the floors.There was glitter/old flower petals on chairs in ceremony room.Patio wasn't pressure washed as promised.Seat cushions in reception room had ketchup on them and when asked to be cleaned they turned them over.We chose this venue after hearing good things, and needing a place that could handle most of the planning due to my daughter being in her last semester of nursing school, but later learned that this location is new and the good things we heard were from other locations.We ended up doing a lot ourselves.This was not the caliber of event we thought we were throwing.Sadly there are no do overs with a once in a lifetime event like a wedding.And, after we realized we were missing my daughters special champaign glasses and they wouldn't ask the banquet captain about them.I got response saying they don't have any lost and found items.This was after they were all tipped well.

11/10 recommend. Got married 5/2023. DJ Fredy kept the party going all night, Sammy and Kelly were the dynamic duo in making sure the day went smoothly, and the team overall was extremely helpful every step of the way. Our wedding was larger number at this venue, 173 total, and it was beyond perfect thanks to this team. The food was so delicious, the decor was set up beautifully, and the music was exactly what we asked for: Vegas club but make it wedding lol. We were not an easy group with a large attendance and large wedding parties, but not once did we feel judged. We were constantly treated with kindness and any help we needed, we received. This team knows what they are doing and I'd do it with them all over again!

My husband and I were beyond happy with how our wedding day turned out at the Carlsbad windmill! The planning process was seamless and the wedding team would always respond so quickly to any questions I had via text, which made it easy.Sarah was so helpful in our planning. Shannon our coordinator was an all-star from the rehearsal to the reception. She did such a great job of organizing our family and friends for the ceremony and was essential to creating a stress-free day for us.We had the buffet for the reception and our guests were raving about how good the food was and we agree. The vendors they provided were incredible. Having the windmill food hall attached to the venue made it more fun and convenient for our guests before and after our wedding. The hotel is within walking distance, literally next door which was a plus.I highly recommend this location they exceed our expectations!

The team at Wedgewood helped me SO much throughout the process. They answered my emails and texts quickly so I never had to stress. Jax went above and beyond and worked extra to help the venue provide us with black chargers plates for our wedding. Kayla was an amazing day-of coordinator for us and helped the day run smoothly. I’m so thankful for the whole team!

We recently had our reception at the Windmill and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Sydney was very helpful and answered any questions we had and was patient when I was indecisive about something. The location was ideal as we had many guests flying in. Our guests really appreciated the accommodations and food options that were walking distance. The venue itself is beautiful and can be transformed quite a bit! We were very impressed with the use of decorations we provided and the way the decorations were transitioned from cocktail hour to the reception. On the day of, all the staff including Jax and Fadi were so attentive and made our day perfect. We could not have asked for a better experience. As far as costs, you are provided a pretty transparent break-down of what everything will cost. We were initially deciding between two packages and Sydney gave us approximate quotes based on our headcount which helped us make the decision to go with the Elite package. For any bride who is not looking to hire a wedding planner, Wedgewood is the way to go!

My wife, Ashleigh and I got married here 10/29/2021. We originally booked at Wedgwood in Menifee Lakes in January 2020, before the pandemic hit. We, like many other couples were worried if our dream wedding would become a reality. After lots of accommodations from the entire Wedgewood team (up and down the West coast) we were able to extend our wedding date by a year and select the Windmill and we were BLOWN away when we walked in. My wife’s dream was too always get married by the beach, and after somewhat of a bumpy start we were able to make that happen. When the day finally arrived our guests were completely awe struck at the venue service and all around esthetic of this amazing venue. From the white exposed brick in the ceremony chapel to the gargantuan wood vaulted ceilings in the loft, the windmill is really something to behold and cherish if you ever get the pleasure to visit. Wedgewood made all of our most wanted memorable moments come to life and we couldn’t be any happier! Also, extra props to the Carlsbad Inn by the Sea for our guest accommodations and Windmill Foodhall for the rehearsal dinner set up! Thanks Wedgewood Carlsbad Windmill team! John and Ashleigh Dias.

Highly recommend having your wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill! Honestly, I (the bride) overlooked this venue at first because I initially wanted an outdoor wedding but after touring the windmill, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. It’s simple but beautiful and has everything you need. From the initial tour/meeting, we felt the windmill was a great fit for us and Sydney was big part of helping us make our decision. We toured multiple other venues but what really stood out was how personable Sydney was and how we truly felt like she wanted to get to know us as a couple. Compared to other venues, we were given much more details about the process and the different packages. We liked that it was basically an all-inclusive package, but you had the flexibility to add or remove things and we felt the price was very reasonable. Throughout the planning process, we received help from multiple different employees but they were all great and quick to respond to any questions we had. All the other vendors included in our package were also wonderful to work with and highly recommend using them if you can (Cute Cakes, Moments in Bloom, Stay Classy Events). The day of the wedding, I knew everything would be taken care of and without much guidance from us, everything was decorated beautifully. Ashley and Fadi were also very helpful the day-of and made sure we were taken care of throughout the day/night. Planning a wedding from out-of-state was easy thanks to the Wedgewood Weddings staff. We can’t say enough great things about having our wedding here! Everything went smoothly and all the guests had a blast and we are so thankful we found this venue and the amazing staff who made sure we had the best day ever!

We booked this venue sight unseen in December of 2019 while it was being remodeled. We had an awesome tour with a planner who no longer works at Wedgewood who showed us mock-ups of an incredibly gorgeous indoor venue that was going to be perfect for our September 2020 wedding. Fast forward to July of 2020 when we were trying to figure out if we should be sending out our official invites because COVID showed no signs of slowing down, and the Windmill tried to tell us they saw no problems moving forward with our 150-guest wedding and we should go ahead and send invites. We didn't feel comfortable with this (obviously) and told them we'd like to reschedule, so they said we had the option of any Monday-Thursday date between January and March of 2021. After booking the venue with full trust in the original planner about \"how great Wedgewood is to work with,\" I was pretty upset that my Saturday wedding was going to become a weekday wedding. We responded by saying that we'd just need to go ahead and cancel, and they came back with a few Saturdays. While our wedding was fun, I wish we would have canceled and gone elsewhere when we had the chance.We rebooked in July 2020 for June of 2021. After radio silence until I emailed them in March 2021 (8 months after rebooking), we found that the entire planning team had changed and they tried to walk back some of the promises they had made early on for some rentals we could use without charge. The planning team is all very green and is pretty disorganized. We got tossed between three different planners in the lead-up to our wedding day and I wouldn't be surprised if it was our planner's first week (she joined our wedding team the day before the wedding). She had a hard time handling flower girls (they were 3, so, fine, they were excited and squealy but not unmanageable) and didn't seem to learn anyone in the bridal party's names. From a timeline standpoint, the planners created a timeline for the ceremony-onward, but anything beforehand for photo coordination was on us (per my photographer, planners normally do this). There was also really no guidance for what was normal or what should happen at what point when we asked, since this was our first wedding and we're the first of most of our friends to get married -- for example, they put the father of the bride speech after the best man and the MOH speech -- which my dad promptly corrected the day of. The planner headed out right as dinner was served.Before our ceremony, the planning team was running tours while we were trying to take pictures in the venue. It's more than a little frustrating when you're paying tens of thousands of dollars for your big day and you're suddenly avoiding the random people walking around in the background of your photos.The venue was beautiful, as expected, and photographed well. The food was okay (dual plated meal) - it was a bit challenging to coordinate guests' dietary restrictions with the planning team. I hope everyone got what they ordered, but I don't know that anyone would have complained to me if they didn't. The DJ recommended by the venue was also okay - he played fun music but wasn't a great emcee and played the wrong song for our first dance. Overall, the party was great, but I think that had more to do with the people than the location.While the day was beautiful and one I'll never forget, if I were to do it over again I'd book a different venue.

Overall, the party was great, but I think that had more to do with the people than the location.While the day was beautiful and one I'll never forget, if I were to do it over again I'd book a different venue.

The ladies at Wedgewood were so amazing and kind to work with. Anyone that gets Ariana as their day of coordinator will be such a lucky couple. I could not sing her praises enough. She was such a dream to work with and her positive, enthusiastic attitude was noticed by not only the wedding part but by all of the guests in attendance. I couldn't have asked for a better day of coordinator. The only complaint that I have is that the bartender that was there was really rude to our wedding guests and that wasn't necessary to treat our guests in that way especially when they were nothing but kind to her and also tipped her very generously through the night.

Beautiful new Modern Wedding Venue! My husband and I grew up in Carlsbad Area and knew we wanted to wed in Carlsbad, Ca. After the tour we were sold! The girls over at Wedgewood were so helpful and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING wedding related. The catering staff were so generous and talented. I am so thankful for their ideas and response speed. We worked alongside for about a year planning our wedding (due to covid). I love driving past the windmill on the 5 freeway and remembering the wonderful day! I would recommend this team and venue to anyone (and everyone). 1,000/10 would recommend.

The Carlsbad Wedgewood team is fabulous. From the first meeting Katie and Sydney were extremely professional and friendly. During our follow up meetings they continued to be very supportive and calming. Planning a wedding during COVID restrictions with so much uncertainty was very stressful. But each time I reached out with any concerns they set my mind right at ease. The entire planning process was made relatively simple and painless for us.The Bride's suite was fabulous. We had everything we needed. Access to the garden, a swing, plenty of room, and we all loved the slimming mirror. One thing that would be great is if we got to keep the room until the next morning. The wedding turned out perfectly. There are so many moving parts, but the planning, organization and execution was on point. Our flowers were beautiful, everything was set up as discussed without any hitches. The ceremony was easy and flowed just as expected. The room is so bright and beautiful, everyone loved it.The reception was perfect with food that was delicious and wine a flowing.Highly recommend this venue for weddings or any other event.

Celia was a joy to work with, she made our visions come true even better than we imagined, and we just loved her!Wedgewood has a coordinating staff that was very communicative and would schedule various dates to ensure we were on time with completing certain tasks and keeping track of our to do list items. The coordinators made it very easy for the bridal party to be prepared for the wedding day. I think the only (sort of) downfall was the coordinator left once dinner was served and we were handed off to another staff (whose primary role was in the kitchen). From that point our timeline for the rest of the evening didn't really happen or was behind, but we (guests included) didn't mind because we were having such a great time. Evening went by too fast!

When my husband and I first got engaged it was just the start of the pandemic. We searched for venues and this was the one I fell in love with and we booked knowing the uncertainty of where the pandemic would be in January of 2021. From the beginning both Katie’s were extremely helpful and attentive to any questions or concerns I had. Living hours away from the venue they eased my stress and helped anywhere they could and always kept us up to date with any closing or guidelines that would or wouldn’t be in place as my wedding date got closer. Luckily, we were still able to have our wedding ceremony at the venue but not the reception due to following the closing of restaurant guidelines. We understood knowing we took the risk of booking a venue during a pandemic and possibly wouldn’t get any money back. Although they cancelled the reception 2-3 weeks before our wedding my husband and I were extremely pleased with Sandy and being able to get a full refund for canceling on us last minute. We were allowed to bring in a wooden cross my husband made to allow us to have some sort of religious aspect to our wedding since we didn’t have a traditional church wedding. We decided to donate it so any bride or groom could also have some sort of religious aspect to their weddings as well. The day of our wedding was amazing and everyone was so helpful. Also a huge thank you to Sydney when I realized 10 minutes before the ceremony that I didn’t have my veil on and she steamed my 120 inch veil! I highly highly recommend having your wedding here. If the staff can go above and beyond for me I would assume they would for any other bride or groom!

The Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood is a gorgeous venue and the planning team is amazing. Constantly changing COVID-19 restrictions made wedding planning extremely challenging, but Katie and Sydney were there every step of the way answering my questions and guiding us through the planning process. We ended up having a beautiful, intimate ceremony at the Windmill and the planning team did everything in their power to make our day as perfect as possible given the circumstances! Their partner vendors (Flit Flowers, Cute Cakes, Forever Tomorrow Events, and Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel) were all fabulous to work with and I can’t imagine how much more stressful planning during a pandemic would have been if I had to wrangle different vendors on my own. I highly recommend The Carlsbad Windmill!

Planning a wedding when there’s a current pandemic is chaotic and impossible. It should be understood that it’s only natural that as clients, we should be entitled to a refund of our paid deposit back especially because a pandemic prevents us from having social gatherings and it is simply unlawful and unsafe to do so. To our defense, we inquired on how the terms of the contract will take in effect as agreed because there are currently restrictions mandated by the state. Yet the venue was unsure since protocols are changing everyday. Because they can't provide us any real assurance, they should at least delay and halt the payments or at least allow us to cancel without sacrificing the deposit we paid so far. However, they strongly disagreed on both requests because they assume things will be normal by April 2021, and business is more important to them than their clients. They will only allow us to reschedule to a further date when on our actual April date, they can’t provide us the services we agreed upon because of the current guest limitations and other restrictions. Basically they are asking us to pay our full balance amount, made and forced to either compromise what is agreed on the contract or only allow to reschedule to a later date only when it is completely impossible to hold the wedding on the actual day. They will only allow you to reschedule then, but still don’t give the option to a full refund should we choose to cancel our wedding instead.The main reason why we believe Wedgewood is very shady and untrustworthy is the way they were very reluctant to give us at least a portion of our deposit back. Nowhere in their contract was there a force majeure clause which would’ve helped our case in getting a portion or full deposit back (this is very sly as all venues should have it). We pleaded that because of the ongoing pandemic and because they can’t provide us the services we agreed upon based on the contract, we should be entitled to get a partial or full refund of our paid deposit. We even inquired about the venue preparing the food to let us donate it to a food bank so that at least our paid deposit won’t totally go to waste, but the venue denied this charitable request anyway. In the very end, they didn’t give us back any of our paid deposit because their contracts deemed deposits as non-refundable. This is understandable to some degree, but they should at least be transparent during situations like this and provide a force majeure clause in their contracts considering the pandemic occurred drastically. More importantly, they should’ve at least given us a partial refund since NO REAL SERVICES were performed and because a PANDEMIC exists, preventing social gatherings in the first place. It shouldn’t cost $6k to reserve a wedding date. If couples do their research on Wedgewood, it appears that many other Wedgewood brides/couples are in the same situation as us where Wedgewood refuses to refund their clients and basically keep their money hostage. Unfortunately, we won’t be recommending or going back to any Wedgewood venues in the future. If you took the time to read this, please be mindful and choose carefully. Choose a venue that you can trust and choose one that is willing to support you especially during such a difficult time, that is all.

Carlos and I have a long back story on how we came across The Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood Weddings but we were supposed to get married at their Rio Hondo Downey location but with LA County in purple tier they still weren’t going to be open for our November wedding. So we first were working with Veronica Smith and Natalie Nametz at the Rio Hondo location and they were wonderful! Great costumer service and it was sad to part ways when I decided to move to the Carlsbad Windmill location. The transition from venue to venue was a smooth one. From that point on we started working with Katie, Katey and Sydney and I can’t begin to tell you how amazing they were from start to finish!! Their customer service is just amazing! Any questions that I had were answered, and I could email, or call anytime that I had a question and they were quick to respond! The day of the event was so amazing! Let’s begin with the bridal suite, oh my gosh it’s simply gorgeous in there!!! My ceremony started at 3pm so Sydney came to my suite around 2:50pm and honestly helped with so many things!! She helped me with my necklace and earrings and making jokes to make me laugh! She was so much fun! When it was time for me to walk down the aisle I realized that I left my bouquet inside my bridal suite and Sydney really didn’t hesitate, she took off and went and got it for me. She was absolutely amazing!!!! Than Katie was doing so much walking around and making sure everything was perfect and that Carlos and I had what we needed. Oh my gosh and when they needed to bustle my dress lol that was a bit intense, but they executed everything wonderfully! All my family and friends who attended said they had a beautiful night!! I just want to say thank you to Katie, Katey, Sydney. Veronica, and Natalie. I want to say thank you to the most amazing bartender, Julie!! She was awesome! Thank you to our Dj ERICK!! The music was so good all night!! Thank you to Cute Cakes because the cake was delicious!! The ice cream sundaes were a hit! Thank you to Splendid Sentiments because my bridal bouquet was beautiful and so were the floral centerpieces!! I can’t forget my officiant Kimmi. She was the sweetest and did such an awesome job. Psh! I can go on and on about my wedding night. Also I’ve taken a course in hospitality and it’s a high demand job so thank you to all the chefs and all the back house Wedgwood staff that made our day so great and special. I didn’t want the night to end. Thank you to all of the The Carlsbad Wedgewood team. You guys are amazing at what you do!! I wish I can do the whole night over again! Love, Jamie & Carlos

I just want to say thank you to Katie, Katey, Sydney. Veronica, and Natalie. I want to say thank you to the most amazing bartender, Julie!! She was awesome! Thank you to our Dj ERICK!! The music was so good all night!! Thank you to Cute Cakes because the cake was delicious!! The ice cream sundaes were a hit! Thank you to Splendid Sentiments because my bridal bouquet was beautiful and so were the floral centerpieces!! I can’t forget my officiant Kimmi. She was the sweetest and did such an awesome job. Psh! I can go on and on about my wedding night. Also I’ve taken a course in hospitality and it’s a high demand job so thank you to all the chefs and all the back house Wedgwood staff that made our day so great and special. I didn’t want the night to end. Thank you to all of the The Carlsbad Wedgewood team. You guys are amazing at what you do!! I wish I can do the whole night over again! Love, Jamie & Carlos

My husband and I were married here the first week of November. Despite the stress of COVID-19 and the wedding planning process in general, we were very impressed with how our big day went. Katey, Katie and Sydney made the events transitions seamless and were super attentive! For a few hours the world seemed normal and special because of the Wedgewood crew, I would highly recommend them for a venue and for coordination.

My husband and I got married on March 13th (pretty much the day before the world shut down..) at the Windmill. We were their 3rd or 4th wedding ever, but you would have never known that! Katie, Katey, and Sidney were so professional and helpful since day one. Katey was the one we worked with most in the beginning and she took care of us so much. We are so thankful to have had our dream wedding and their amazing location. Even with rain on the wedding day, everything ran smoothly. On the day of Katie was especially helpful. All three girls set up the venue perfectly. I had certain things that were specific to a look, but other areas I said to put it however they wanted to and WOW it was so beautiful.The only bummer was the sound system wasn't the greatest and a lot of guests said they couldn't hear a lot during the ceremony and couldn't understand the DJ all that much. Another bummer was that we had to clean up all of our stuff right after the wedding ended because they had a morning wedding the next day. I hated having some of my guests help us with that and I felt like I couldn't go off and needed to stay back and help. But seriously those are my only complaints.Overall, I would highly recommend having your wedding here!! We absolutely loved it.

We would like to thank you again for all of your help from the day we enquired about booking our wedding, until our big day. Nothing was ever too much to ask for, and questions were always answered super fast. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, Wedgewood Weddings was the first venue that we viewed, and we left with such excitement knowing that it was the venue that we wanted to get married at. It really did exceed all exceptions of how the venue looked on the day, and how the day came together, it was so perfect despite the hot weather and the pandemic that we were sure would impact everything that we had planned...it really didn’t, it just made it more special. Thank you to Katie, Sydney, DJ Garrin, Celia and your amazing team for the most perfect day. Robert and I cannot thank you all enough, your venue will forever be a special place for us!Maricel and Robert Gordon

My fiancé and I went through the process of inquiring about the Windmill. The inside is stunning as well and the bridal sweet is particularly beautiful. Katey showed us the venue and was very helpful answering all of my questions throughout a couple weeks. They were extremely gracious and helpful! It was clear they have the client's best interest in mind, especially during this time that's extra pressure on brides!

We had the privilege to be the very first wedding at The Carlsbad Windmill after the remodeling on 29 Feb 2020. We took the leap!! LOL. My fiancé and I had our concerns about it being ready on time but our coordinator Katey assured us that it would not only be ready, but that it would be gorgeous. She met with us on a regular basis and gave us progress reports to calm our nerves. She listened to our inputs and made sure that we got everything out of the venue that we wanted. I made a special request to have a missing soldier table to pay homage to veterans and those missing in action and Katey made it happen without issue. When we arrived on the Big Day, we were absolutely blown away by how beautiful the remodeling turned out. Our guests made several comments about how spectacular it was with many saying it was the best wedding venue they had ever seen. Our other coordinators, also Katie and Sydney, was so helpful on the day of in getting everyone to where they needed to be and ensuring that we had drinks in the groomsman room and bridal suite. With Katey, Katie and Sydney at the helm we were able to enjoy our big day without nerves or having to deal with issues that came up. We had a phenomenal time, as did our guests and we are so glad we chose The Carlsbad Windmill as our venue.
