We had our ceremony offsite, but used The Crossings for getting ready, cocktail hour, and reception. Crossings Coordinator (Catering Sales Manager) Lauren was more helpful than the wedding planner we paid extra for! If you are someone who wants to manage every detail, you've got plenty of options here! And if you're someone like me who did not want to make aallll of the decisions (like how you want the napkins folded!), Lauren was so helpful!!! She emphasized the things we said were important to us and took care of the other details that we were less concerned about. We added on an open bar & late night snacks- our guests were obsessed! I loved that this venue was transparent about costs right from the beginning. The packages are very customizable so you can get exactly what you're looking for. Again, I can't say enough nice things about Lauren who helped make this day exactly what we wanted and for the awesome staff who took care of us like we were old friends! Reviewed on 11-01-2024

Absolutely amazing!! Lauren Lee, our coordinator, was very organized but also relaxed and provided a calming yet detailed presence. The venue is stunning and with Lauren's decorating expertise, it really allowed my husband and I to just enjoy the wedding planning process and the wedding day! We could not be happier with our wedding and we highly recommend the Crossings to all couples looking for a gorgeous, sophisticated, and amazing wedding! Reviewed on 29-12-2023

I don't think I can say enough about how incredible the Crossings was as a wedding venue. The inside is beautiful. The backdrop for the ceremony overlooks the ocean. The food was delicious, we chose salmon and steak. The get ready rooms on-site were spacious and nice. The entire staff was friendly and hard working from the day we booked and through the event. Lauren was my wedding planner and she crushed it. She was sweet, a good communicator, and made the day of flow so smoothly, I had nothing to worry about. Staff set-up and took down everything for us day of so we could enjoy the entire event. I suggest choosing the upgrades of market lighting and chivari chairs, as it really transformed the room. They made my wedding incredible and I highly recommend for anyone in their venue hunt. Reviewed on 12-12-2023

I married my best friend on 11.18.23 and the day was perfect because of this venue, our incredible coordinator MEGAN, and the unreal staff that came together for two strangers. We had been dreaming of this day for a long time but never really knew where to begin. We met with Sandy on 11/28/22 and we told her all of our ideas. She tallied up a spread sheet with costs and showed us every option. By the next day we were calling to sign contracts and book our date. Sandy CC'd us into an email with Megan and she immediately greeted us and sent us a wedding planning packet to make it even easier on us. From that point on every email & question was answered. We didn't have to worry about linens, chairs, tables, glassware, utensils, alcohol, or food. All was taken care of by the venue. They even include a budget within your deposit for the bakery they partner with, \"VG Bakery.\" We were able to get a two tiered cake and an entire dessert bar! Our guests raved about the desserts and Megan even boxed us up a platter to take home. Megan walked us through a food tasting and later a final walk through the week before the wedding. Each time I was greeted with arms wide open and the most excited smile. Any worries or stresses were gone by the time I left the venue (and I was able to plan with very little stresses because they make it so easy)! The day of our rehearsal, Megan was able to coordinate THIRTY FIVE people. She seamlessly showed everyone their role. I unloaded all of my DIY projects into one of their rooms and Megan walked through every single piece of it with me to make sure she knew exactly where we wanted it. From that point on, I had zero responsibilities or worries. I just got to show up to the best day of my life knowing Megan was taking care of everything. The day of the wedding she was somehow every where and any where before you even knew you needed her. It was pouring rain and the staff had all of our chairs covered. By the time the rain stopped, they made it look like it never happened. The bridal suite and grooms suite are beautiful and so spacious! I love that the bridal suite has a closed off outdoor area for more space. We fit 1 bride, 11 bridesmaids, 4 moms, 3 flower girls, and 4 hair and makeup artists with space to spare. The venue provided food for all of us. They have speakers, tv's, and they even have a steamer! Our ceremony was perfect, thanks to The Crossings. Once it was done, the bridal party was greeted with champagne. My husband and I got to drive our own golf cart following Sandy to other parts along the venue to take our couple pictures. The reception was incredible. THE FOOD! A week later and we still haven't stopped hearing people sharing about how incredible the food was. We chose the flat iron steak and seabass options. We also highly suggest the \"late night bites,\" we surprised our guests with pretzel bites and everyone loved it! The next day the two of us went back to our venue for our own lunch. The bartenders came out to see us and the chefs came to shake our hands. The heart that goes into this venue is unmatched. We felt like our day was just as important to each of them. The hardwork and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and we will always be grateful! A huge thank you to every person who helped us with our day! To Megan! We miss you already. Thank you for making all of our dreams come true. You were meant for this job! Photos by @danandtylerphotography Reviewed on 30-11-2023

My wife Jenn and I got married at The Crossings on Oct 28th ‘23. It was an amazing day from start to end. Our coordinator, Lauren Lee, was so helpful, organized and had so many great ideas and willing to listen to some of our funny ideas we had. We planned our wedding in 5 months and the process with the crossings was so smooth especially with the help from Lauren. The facility was beautiful, the food was great and the entire staff was so helpful in making our day enjoyable. We would definitely recommend The Crossings and Lauren, we had a day we’ll never forget! Reviewed on 27-11-2023

My wife Britney and I got married here on October 20th, 2023, and it was an absolutely amazing experience at such an affordable price! Our coordinator Lauren Lee, was the most amazing coordinator we could have asked for, she did not only do everything to make our day go so smoothly, but on a personal level she really connected with us and made us really feel so comfortable for the whole process from start to finish, it really feels like we made a FRIEND on top of having a coordinator we loved! Our doors are always open to her! We love you Lauren! Please come see us when you are in Michigan! The staff, set up, clean up, bartenders, and everyone else involved were amazing, the drinks during he reception were perfectly balanced, (not too strong not too weak) so you didn't have to keep running back up to the bar and it really felt like we were getting what we paid for. Our ceremony site was so breathtaking and magical thanks to the set up crew and venue. Again I cannot express how affordable this was for element of a wedding it was!

We got married at the crossings on 9.22.23 and had the most incredible experience. The venue was beautiful, food was amazing, and the bridal & groom suites were perfect spots to get ready. We can’t say enough about our coordinator, Megan, who went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of from day one. She was clear with communication and was always timely in answering our questions leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding was stress free because of Megan and her team- they set up our decor beautifully, broke everything down, and handled any hiccups in between so that our day was seamless.

We had the best experience working with the team at The Crossings. We had a great first visit with Sandy and knew right away that The Crossings was where we wanted to get married. The packages offered are a great value and the team is more than willing to work with you within your budget to get creative with the offerings. Lauren was our coordinator and she helped answer every question of mine each step along the way and on the day-of she executed our vision flawlessly along with Julia. We did not work with a wedding planner so I truly mean it when I say that our day would not have been what it was without those two.Thank you to The Crossings team for such a wonderful experience.

The Crossings Review I am so so so happy we chose The Crossings for our wedding!! From day 1 to visiting the venue, to coming by to check out the venue, Lauren and the other staff have all been so kind and accommodating to us. Lauren is so responsive and communicative. She truly made our entire wedding experience flawless and perfect. Our perfect day was just that, PERFECT!! Not a single thing went wrong and I knew Lauren had it all under control. I did not stress a single bit on wedding day because she truly made everything so seamless!!! I cannot express how grateful we are for Lauren. The Crossings is absolutely unique and gorgeous and had everything we wanted in a wedding venue. For perspective, we toured 17 wedding venues because we are so picky and the crossings had it all!!! Amazing staff, new and gorgeous bridal and groom suites, genuine staff, incredible locations and scenery. Everyone had such a great time!!! The drinks at the open bar were incredible and the food was delicious which is very rare for wedding food. For rehearsal, our entire groomsmen party went golfing the morning of( 12 people) and had a blast!! Rehearsal practice was quick and fun!!I had zero hiccups or negative things to say about the entire experience. I HIGHLY recommend booking your perfect day here!!!

My husband and I had our wedding here 9/29/23 and it was amazing, we truly couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Our coordinator was Megan and she was fantastic. From the moment we took our first tour, to our wedding day, she was there for anything we needed. She answered any questions we had, took time to get to know us, and made sure our day ran smoothly. She is so personable, kind and inviting. After meeting her, we knew we were in good hands. Julie was assisting her the day of the wedding and she was also very helpful and kind. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly. The Crossings staff helped set everything up and it looked beautiful, we got to see our vision for our wedding come to life. The food was fantastic and all of our guests commented on that throughout the days following. Especially the short rib and mashed potato puree!

The Crossings has my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary experience my partner and I had at your venue for our recent wedding. The sheer beauty of the setting exceeded our wildest dreams, offering a stunning ocean view that left our guests in awe.Lauren Lee, our dedicated venue coordinator, orchestrated the entire event flawlessly. Her meticulous attention to detail and tireless dedication ensured that not a single problem, issue, or worry marred our special day. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration, knowing that every aspect was being handled with the utmost care and professionalism.One of the standout features was the reception room, which was nothing short of enchanting. The market lights draped across the ceiling created a magical ambiance, elevating the entire experience. The space was not only elegantly appointed but also incredibly spacious, allowing for a seamless flow of festivities.The inclusion of bridal and groom suites was a stroke of brilliance. These beautifully designed spaces not only provided a peaceful retreat for us to prepare, but they also ensured our entire wedding party arrived and stayed on schedule. It created a relaxed atmosphere, and we truly appreciated having this haven to gather our thoughts before the ceremony.In addition to the impeccable interior, the venue's location provided a gorgeous ocean view that took our breath away. The natural beauty of the surroundings added an extra layer of magic to our day, creating a backdrop that was nothing short of breathtaking.However, I do have one minor concern to mention. I had prepared bathroom baskets for our guests, filled with essentials like deodorant and hair spray. Unfortunately, it seems that some patrons from the golf course mistook them as communal supplies. As a result, our guests were unable to make use of these thoughtful provisions. While this was a small inconvenience, it did slightly affect an otherwise perfect experience.Despite this, our overall experience was nothing short of magical. The venue, with its stunning ocean view, combined with Lauren Lee's expertise and seamless coordination, was pivotal in bringing our vision to life. We are forever grateful for the memories we created at your venue. Reviewed on 03-10-2023

It’s hard to leave a review that does justice to our coordinator Lauren and this incredible wedding venue. The minute I stepped foot on The Crossings, I felt at ease and optimistic that this would be the place I would get married. First of all, there are so many different elements to this venue, from the stunning window-lined reception area to the romantic ceremony lawn it overlooks. It was literally EXACTLY what we were looking for. Not to mention, when you look up at it, it looks like a fairytale castle. The staff is so friendly and genuinely excited for you, which goes a long ways, as wedding planning can be very overwhelming at times. We didn’t know yet when we met her, but Lauren would be exactly what we needed during this process. I am in awe of her! From the jump, she treated us like top priority clients, even before we signed anything. Our tour was fun and engaging, and she knew when to guide us and when to give us space to take in the beauty of the venue. That also included our decision to eat lunch at the venue on the day we toured, which really sealed the deal, because the food at The Crossings is outstanding! After our tour, Lauren was a tremendous help with crafting a plan that fit our budget, and she never rushed us with making our decision. The best part is, her professionalism and help only continued to exceed our expectations after we signed the dotted line. Not a question went unanswered, and we had a lot of them. And, instead of saying no to unique requests, she always checked to make sure our ideas weren’t within reach. I genuinely looked forward to her emails, because they made everything feel that much more real and they usually came with good news and detailed guidance through this process. For us, since we didn’t hire a wedding planner, Lauren is what really made this day possible for us. We had a lot of DIY and culturally unique aspects to our wedding, and not only did she help us execute them, but she was genuinely excited about them. She knew how to read between the lines and thought of things that we didn’t even think of.And, even when things got a little hectic on the day of with being behind schedule, Lauren and her team always had a plan and never made me feel stressed as the bride. It was also so great having a bridesmaid and groomsmen suite on location, where we could spend the day getting ready, drinking champagne, and taking photos. I would recommend Lauren and The Crossings to anybody looking to have a smooth planning process and wedding in a beautiful location that your friends and family will LOVE. My husband and I can’t wait to come back and visit, as every memory made at The Crossings will forever be special in our hearts. Thank you guys for everything! Reviewed on 30-09-2023

We never felt rushed or like we were obviously falling behind. My husband and I could have asked for a better wedding venue and staff. We had the most perfect wedding at the Crossings. We can't wait to come back and visit and reminisce. I would highly recommend the Crossings. Reviewed on 14-10-2022

The day of our wedding went very smoothly and if anything did go wrong we didn't hear about it or notice. They are very well organised and the decorations are beautiful.

Caitlin Hartman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2022 The Crossings was an absolutely perfect venue! As soon as we toured it we fell in love. The setting is stunning with gorgeous views and well maintained grounds. The location is great, especially if you have a lot of out-of-town guests because there are great hotel options close by. From the beginning, The Crossings made the entire wedding planning process so seamless. Their package options are great! The food was incredible - we got so many compliments from our guests. We were also able to create signature drinks which was a fun addition to the open bar! They recently built a bridal suite which was cute and perfect for pictures! Above all, working with Lauren Lee was the best part. She was so fun to work with and helped us bring all of our ideas to life! She was very responsive and always happy to answer our questions whenever they came up.

Katrina Seng(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2021 I had my wedding at the Crossings at Carlsbad on 10.10.21. Overall, the day was beautiful and I am very happy to have chosen this venue!Originally my partner and I booked this venue back in Sept 2020 and worked with Alex Ghilarducci. Alex was great and very thorough during our meetings together. We also, worked with Courtney Mackay, who ended up being our main point of contact and day of coordinator, which the venue includes. From the dress rehearsal to the wedding day Courtney was very kind during the whole process and was also great to work with! Like any business you work with over a longer period of time, there will always be pros and cons so I will list them out given my experience with this wedding venue.Pros:-The location is absolutely stunning! With the ocean view in the background of the ceremony and on a golf course, we got a lot of great photos during our special day. -The venue included a lot of the basic wedding details like the table and chairs. They also have two arches to choose from which we chose the hexagon arch that turned out so nice! -The food is included and varies based off of the package you choose. We chose the classic package and got the grilled flat iron steak and miso glazed salmon which were very delicious! Our guests raved how good the food was and all of the staff were very kind. Also, Courtney was very attentive to make sure my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night from getting our dinner to making sure we had our drinks. -The reception hall was very spacious and I liked how we set up the hall. We had the sweet heart table in front of the fireplace with the DJ/Photo booth to the right, the dance floor in front of the sweet heart table, and the round guest tables behind the dance floor space. The reception hall is all hard wood flooring so the dance floor was just an open space.Cons:-My mistake since I did not clarify beforehand but the table numbers and locations were not what I envisioned. I thought table one and two would be closest to the sweet heart table but instead they started in the back. Therefore, both set of parents were sitting in the back of the room which was unfortunate. -Also, partially our fault but our credit card payment did not go through since it was over the limit. The contact stated the final payment was due 10 days prior to the wedding date but they did not process the payment until the night of the wedding. It would have been nice to address the issue days before instead of having to deal with getting an additional card on the night of the wedding. Overall, our experience at the Crossings was very positive for our wedding day! Everyone was very kind and made the experience very enjoyable! I would recommend having your wedding at the Crossings!

Esther Kim(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2019 Let me first start by saying, I've visited more than 10 venues near the beach, trying to find exactly what I was looking for. Not only the price point but also what they offered - the entire package. And I will say without a doubt, The Crossings At Carlsbad, had everything I was looking for. The food was delicious, which is very important since people always complain that wedding food is not good. The fact that there is a full service restaurant at the golf course made the food ready quickly and served hot during our reception. Our guests raved about how good the cocktail hour food was and how delicious the dinner food was. The presentation was great and the service was even better. Speaking of food and service, my day-of coordinator (which is part of the package) saw our printed menus and saw that one of the pass around appetizers during the cocktail hour was printed as an appetizer during the reception/ dinner and made a quick change to have it served at each table before the main course came out. That's what I call paying attention to detail. Now let me tell you about my day-of coordinator, Alex Ghilarducci, she was absolutely AMAZING! A couple months before, I had another coordinator that I was working with throughout the year and emailing but due to some personal matters, she had to move back to the east coast. I was definitely worried about that but Alex reassured me that everything would be fine and that she's read all the emails and all the notes for our big day. And she proved me right. She has an attention to detail, a design eye, and knows how to think quickly on her feet without stressing out the bride. We were only able to meet a few times due to my busy work schedule, yet she knew exactly what my vision was and made it all turn out perfectly. She was THE BEST! She works great under pressure and knows how to accommodate for unexpected things such as a guest bringing their kids without letting me know, she found them seats and got their food. She made the wedding rehearsal go smoothly as well. She was without a doubt, the best day-of coordinator for our big day. I'm really thankful for the last minute change because working with her was such a delight. Now, the venue. I loved the set up of the whole place. We had an evening wedding and I was worried there would still be golfers in the background of the ceremony but there weren't. It was perfect for the outdoor ceremony with the ocean view and an indoor reception. The cocktail hour was nice too because everyone enjoyed the balcony and the outdoor space. They had lots of room to mingle with a great view and great photo ops with the sunset. The staff was on top of everything and so professional and courteous. They made everything go smoothly. I was very happy with this venue and would definitely choose it again! Thank you The Crossings At Carlsbad Team. You guys are absolutely amazing! You made our special day perfect!

Alex and the rest of the staff were always on top of everything and helped make things go smoothly. They worked well with all of our vendors and were there for anything that we needed. Our guests all really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! The only negative was that we were told security was being required at all functions going forward for an additional cost, about a month before our wedding. The cost was not in our original budget, but we worked with Alex to get it straightened out. Overall, we were very happy with how things went, and are very happy with our choice.

We wanted an outdoor wedding and indoor reception and The Crossings delivered. Not only do you get an ocean view at the ceremony area without the beach crowd, you also get a breathtaking sunset (especially for cocktail hour if you time it right). The landscaping of the golf course is beautiful, and the architecture of the building is just as amazing.Our day of coordinator was Alex and she was assisted by Courtney. They were both fantastic to work with; they were very friendly and responded to all my questions immediately. I tend to be very organized in scheduling my to-dos and they made everything really easy on me by being readily available to communicate with and willing to accommodate many of our requests! They made sure everything went smoothly on the big day and our guests absolutely had a blast. I expected to be worried and stressed during the day of the wedding, but it turned out to be an absolute breeze! I am very fortunate to say that I enjoyed my own wedding, and it is thanks to Alex, Courtney, and the staff for such a wonderful evening.During cocktail hour, we (B&G) got some quick bites of the appetizers and were escorted to throughout the golf course for photos. It was nice and secluded, and made for wonderful photos. We also requested for signature drinks and the bartenders did not disappoint! Our guests loved the service and enjoyed the drinks as much as we did!We had a lot of kids at our wedding (17 to be exact) and Alex was very obliging. We were provided with highchairs for families with toddlers so that they wouldn’t have to worry about bringing their own from home or having the toddler sit on their parent’s lap. We were also allowed to use the board room as a kid’s entertainment room with toys, goodie bags, and Netflix (cartoon) playing on the TV for the kids. All our guests were raving to us about the food! They all enjoyed their meals and absolutely loved all the appetizers – the Brie was the big winner for a lot of guests! The wedding cake is also included in your package, so that is one less thing to worry about. Plus, they work directly with VG Donuts & Bakery! My husband and I absolutely love VG Donuts.. so another win there.The staff was highly attentive. They constantly filled up waters, cleared the tables, and helped with any requests our guests had. As the bride and groom, we were constantly taken care of – apps and champagne were ready immediately after ceremony, our drinks were always full, food was ready for us immediately after first dance, etc. Overall, I am extremely happy with how everything turned out and I want to sincerely thank Alex and her team for everything!!

We wanted to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception- The Crossings is literally the perfect place for that! Gorgeous views as soon as you drive up! When I reached out to the crossings through the knot, Alex was quick to respond and we set up our venue tour! The beautiful green course and beach views were an obvious selling point for us, but what really won us over was the reception room! We had already visited a few other venues who also had very beautiful landscaping, but then you’d get to the reception rooms and they were awful - old carpeting, old chandeliers and scuffed up walls. The crossings reception room on the other hand has beautiful wood flooring, a lovely fireplace, high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows so you can see the outdoor views from inside! It also has a wrap around deck, perfect for watching the sunset during your cocktail hour. Throughout the whole year of planning, Alex was always available to answer any questions I had, and I tend to ask a lot of questions! She is also very thorough with asking you questions about how you want your day to go to make sure every detail is perfect! The crossings holds a wedding showcase where you can see the venue set up for a wedding, and they have a ton of vendors you can meet with while there! Our food tasting was was really fun! We brought two of our friends in our bridal party and got to try some delicious food! Another plus is your CAKE is included through VGs donuts! As happy as we already were with The Crossings, once the wedding day arrived we were BEYOND impressed with Alex and the staff! I showed up with a lot of anxiety that day and Alex assured me not to worry and continuously made sure I was okay throughout the day, while managing the timeline, and all the other surprises that come up during a wedding, like the weather! Alex’s expert instincts from her experience at The Crossings gave us the confidence to keep our ceremony outside as we had dreamed of. Our ceremony narrowly averted the rain and at the last minute she help assure us it was the right decision! I also want to give a special shout out to the waiter JR who was taking care of my husband and I! He was so great and paid special attention to ours needs! The entire night of our wedding and for weeks after our guests raved about what an amazing wedding we put on!

Sara Luu(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 I am so glad I picked The Crossings for my wedding day because the whole process and my big day was absolutely PERFECT. My wedding coordinator was Kaitlin and she was a dream to work with. She was prompt with responding to all my emails by the next day, no matter how big or small the question was which definitely helped ease the wedding planning anxiety ;) The Crossings has flexible packages for different budgets. I opted in for the package that included ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. To my delight, this also included a 1 hour cocktail hour - drinks included, linens, chairs, charger plates, cake and dessert table. To all the new brides doing research let me tell you, these types of all inclusive packages are INCREDIBLY hard to find so it was such a dream that The Crossings including all of this so I didn't have to spend/waste extra money renting these items. Also, let me state again that they didn't only include a cake but also a dessert table which such a huge trend at weddings now a days and something you guests will super appreciate since not everyone does cake. AND it's provided by VG's bakery which is amazing. Their cake, donuts, desserts are not only amazing but they are also amazing to work with and the sampling is so fun -- and may I also add generous! Ok, back to the wedding. Everything went SEAMLESSLY. My wedding coordinator made it so easy by providing me with a checklist of what she needed and she handled contacting the vendors to let them know what time to set up and where they needed to be. We were on schedule the whole entire day. My family, who are the pickiest people to exist on this planet, complemented on how beautiful everything was and what a dream my coordinator was. Ok, THE FOOD. Food was delicious. In cocktail hour we were able to choose three apps and we went with the lamb skewers, poke, and capresse skewers. All 3 were so good and I consider myself a foodie so I am picky when it comes to these things. Dinner also did not disappoint and everyone said all the food was delicious. We went with the herb marinated steak, chicken, and ravioli. For our bar service we opted to do a specified budget vs. paying open bar for everyone because not all our family members drink. I loved that we had the flexibility of choosing this because we came way under budget on the bar and got a refund on the leftover amount we didn't use of our budget AND everyone had a kick ass time. The wait staff it also amazing, flexible and so friendly. Shout out to JR who when I almost fell trying to pick up my napkin that fell off my lap, picked me back up like a knight in shining armor. I know this is a long review so let me quickly highlight the Pros: - various budget options - reception rental inclusions - amazing staff - beautiful venue with outdoor ceremony overlooking ocean - peace of mind Below are the amazing vendors I had that contributed to my perfect wedding day: Photograher: https://www.sutography.com/Florist: http://whimseyflorals.com/ DJ: http://www.stilllisteningproductions.com/Photo booth: https://www.push2startphotobooth.com/ Reviewed on 25-09-2018

Not only is the venue gorgeous with the craftsman architecture of the reception building, but the outdoor ceremony location, complete with the ocean backdrop, created the perfect scene for our morning ceremony (and yes, the sun came out right before we began...). Combine all that with the patio after-party, and you have a dream wedding come true! Our wedding exceeded all of our visions, expectations and hopes. Our guests continue to share the joy they experienced with us that special day and I am so happy that we have only received incredibly positive feedback. Kaitlin, our coordinator, exceeded all of our expectations in ways I can't even begin to describe. Not only was she on top of every detail the whole way through, she went out of her way to make sure the day-of was complete from hours before the guests arrived until well beyond the last guest left. She is absolutely perfect for this job, and she does it with grace, charm and smiles the whole way through. The works hard so others don't have to, and so the bride and groom (and ALL guests) don't have to lift a finger. The whole staff at The Crossings is incredible, friendly, professional and wonderful. They made all of our guests feel very special all day long and adjusted to requests here and there effortlessly. They went out of their way to make sure my husband and I were treated like royalty -- and it showed. I want to personally acknowledge the management at The Crossings for their incredible dedication to excellence, because it really takes top-notch management to make sure every person focuses on details to pulled off the perfect event. I could probably write pages on how wonderful everything and everyone was, and how special we were treated throughout the whole process -- it all was truly THAT wonderful. The chef at The Crossings also deserves high kudos for the incredibly-prepared appetizers and entrees. I've lost count on the number of guests who shared how delicious everything was. Oh, and the bakery they use is also one-of-a-kind. They customized everything we wanted to reach far beyond our expectations and visions. If you truly want to experience the perfect wedding, I highly recommend you choose The Crossings. I am still blown away by how amazing everything turned out, and it's been over two weeks since we were married. The memories are worth everything to us, in ways we probably don't even know yet.

Michelle Frankot(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2018 I truly can't say enough good things about our recent experience at The Crossings. Our daughter's wedding day was perfect. The outdoor area for the wedding ceremony was beautiful and the reception area likewise. Everyone involved in the service that day was professional and courteous. The food was delicious--from the appetizers to the main entrees and dessert. Our guests danced the night away and we are continuing to get feedback that they had a fabulous evening celebrating with us. So that you know I am being truthful, I would make a suggestion for improvement--but it turns out that this is already being addressed. Currently, there is no dedicated \"bridal room\" to use for dressing. The venue does offer use of their locker rooms (which are actually much better than they sound). However, it turns out that The Crossings is in the process of constructing a bridal room. As awesome as this venue is, what really makes it remarkable is Kaitlin. Her official title is \"Catering Sales Manager\ Reviewed on 27-07-2018
Claire Pacelli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-03-2018 Kaitlin is the BEST! I had my wedding reception here and was planning from out of state. Kaitlin was easy to communicate with and very professional. It also rained the entire day of my wedding which cut out use of the patio for cocktail hour but Kaitlin saved the day and made an amazing use of the indoor space! She was extremely encouraging during the entire planning process and The Crossings staff in general was extremely accommodating. Overall the reception planning process with them was a breeze and I wish I could do it over and over again because Kaitlin and her team were such a joy to work with! Reviewed on 23-07-2018
Natalie Parry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2018 AMAZING!! We just got married over the weekend and it was PERFECT. First of all our coordinator Alex is amazing!!! She was so helpful through the entire process. We are from Arizona and she was so great communicating with us over email or phone whenever I needed. She was out of the country the month before our wedding and when an issue came up she went out of her way to give me her cell number so I was able to stay in contact while the issues was resolved!! On the day of everything went smoothly and I know it was because of her. Highly recommend!!!! Reviewed on 12-07-2018

The reception was so wonderful, the food was delicious, the staff was so friendly and I truly felt like we had our dream wedding. Kaitlin was our savior that day, when my florist actually GAVE UP on hanging up our arch decorations, she saved the day with a few zip ties and some help from the groomsmen.

Krystal Arce(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-03-2018 PERFECTION!! This was the first venue of several we visited during the planning process. I knew immediately this was IT. From beginning to end - this venue was beyond exceptional. We had our wedding here a couple of weeks ago and keep hearing great feedback from our guests. Alex Ghilarducci was our onsite coordinator and was really heaven sent. As a bride without a wedding planner, planning a wedding can be quite stressful, but Alex made me feel so comfortable and confident every step of the way. She paid close attention to detail, responded to my emails quickly, and communicated well with all of my vendors. She is a true professional and a true asset to The Crossings. We had such a great experience we are planning to hosts other events here. Food is amazing, plenty of parking available, the staff is wonderful, and the views are incredible. I really have nothing but great things to say about this venue. Highly recommend! Reviewed on 12-04-2018

Elisa Victa(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2013 This review is wayyy overdue!!! My little sister got married here this past February and I can't say enough great things about this venue and the staff. Kaitlin, her Day of Coordinator, was incredible from the very beginning and throughout the entire wedding process. Working in the event and wedding industry myself, I know it takes a lot of little details to pull off a wedding and in addition, being her older (and protective) sister, I really just wanted to make sure everything was covered and turned out the way they wanted it. My biggest fear was having to \"work\" on her wedding day and I thought it would be much harder to not be in control the day of their wedding to make sure everything went smoothly, BUT Kaitlin definitely put my mind at ease and made sure everything was covered - I had nothing to worry about and I am so grateful for her! Long story short - I was able to enjoy my sister's wedding day as her sister and not \"work\" - so THANK YOU Kaitlin and to your entire staff and team. You all made my sister and her husband's wedding day a dream come true and I can't thank you all enough! <3 Reviewed on 28-03-2018
Olivia Zurek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2017 My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Crossings and our guests can't stop raving about how wonderful it was. We had a fully outdoors ceremony and reception looking out over the Pacific Ocean and sunset. We worked with Kaitlin M. who went above and beyond to make our big day flawless. She was so helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and had every last detail locked in so we could relax and enjoy. I looked at just about every venue offering a fully outdoor ceremony and reception in the San Diego and North County area, visiting 12 separate venues and this was the clear winner. The grounds are so beautiful for photos and the celebration and there was more than enough room for all of our guests. The wedding packages are such a great value for your dollar and the food is just as good as ordering an individual meal from Canyons. Highly highly highly recommend this venue and staff.

Carolina Gottardi Gomes(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2017 I loved my wedding at The Crossings!!! Good things first: The venue is incredibly gorgeous and affordable. Food was great (we had option of salmon or steak). Service was very good. The ceremony and reception setting were beautiful. Wedding day coordinator was very helpful, Alex was very professional and trustworthy. I really liked her as our wedding planner. Downside: Hours d'ouvres for cocktail hour was not enough for everybody, even my husband and I did not get any food. We paid 23% service fee and bartenders still had 2 tip jars for my guests. We paid for premium bar, but we had guests complaining that a cheaper kind of scotch was being served at the end of the party. Scotch was served in a plastic glass, and I think it did not look classy, I wish I knew that before. Also, Alex was our coordinator, but when we tried to negotiate, she had to ask her boss, and would come back with a no answer most of the time. I don't know if this is a sales techniques, but I would prefer negotiating with her supervisor directly. These are minor things that did not ruin my wedding day. I loved it and everybody complimented us and said how beautiful everything was. Every body had fun. I recommend this venue. I also recommend Alex as a great wedding coordinator. She kept me informed of timing and everything else that was going on. I saw her working hard to make everything beautiful and organised during the big day!!!

She was fun to watch playing referee with the golfers who had to be stopped for pictures and not walk down the walkway and into the wedding itself. LOL.

The venue is warm, roomy and beautiful without being pretentious. But it's the people that sold us on The Crossings. The entire staff is exemplary. To a person, they couldn't have been friendlier and more professional. Kaitlin, our wedding coordinator, was AMAZING. She just made the whole process effortless. Whatever we dreamed of, she made happen. Brad, our go to bartender and server, was the best ever. Brent, the head chef, was outstanding. Anything we wanted, he gladly and expertly created.

Becca was our wedding coordinator, and she was extremely responsive. She has a calm and kind demeanor that made the whole planning process run smoothly. She never tried to up-sell anything and was very respectful of our budget. We went with their most affordable package and it was perfect for us. I love how everything was pretty much all inclusive, from set up/take down, the food, tables, etc. Everyone kept coming up to us and telling us how this was the best wedding ever, and I know it's because of how awesome The Crossings was.

The only many of guests complained was that the food didn't meet the expectation. Many guests said that the steak were rare. And everyone said that the bread was very hard to eat.

She was so accommodating and helpful with the whole planning process. Even when we found out there was a possibility for rain during the ceremony. She helped keep me calm and explained all my options. Everything worked out and it stopped raining just 1 hour before the ceremony began, which made the ocean view even more spectacular. Lindsey was also so helpful in allowing options for me to verify I got everything I wanted out of my wedding. For example, they even allowed me to extend the cocktail hour to an hour and a half so that I had enough time to head down to the beach for bridal party pictures, which is the one thing I really wanted. The day of the event, Lindsey dealt with everything and I didn't even know when 2 additional people showed up at last minute notice, she was able to fix the situation and everything went off smoothly.

Becca would always answer any question we had for her, and in a quick manner.

This allowed us to be a little more stress free the morning of our wedding. The service was excellent, both from what I witnessed as the bride, as well as what I have heard from guests. As soon as our ceremony had ended, everyone was instantly greeted with champagne/mimosas. From what I heard from guests, there were more than enough appetizers to go around at cocktail hour. The food that was included in our package was INCREDIBLE! Everyone was impressed by it's quality, temperature, and arrival time.
