Venues & Event Spaces in San Marcos, CA

“My husband and I are so grateful for our day-of coordinator, Marissa, and the whole Trademark team for all the work they did on our wedding. Everyone made us feel so at ease, solving problems left and right and never stressing us with too many details.

The venue itself was beautiful, and the team was so willing to work with us to accommodate our requests and answer our questions. Our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to the Trademark team's experience and professionalism. Weddings are hard enough to plan, so it was reassuring to have a venue who knew what they were doing. It was such a plus that we could rent decor/furniture/etc. directly from their design catalogue. The venue helped set all of our decorations up and pack things away at the end of the night.

Marissa and the whole bridal team were my heroes for hyping me up before my walk down the aisle, for bringing us food and drinks in a private corner, and especially for every moment that they made a decision on my behalf when it was clear that I mentally, physically, and spiritually could not answer even the simplest question anymore.

Back when I was researching venues, I saw that some of the reviews spoke negatively about the parking, bathrooms, food, and responsiveness, so the next few paragraphs are for my fellow anxious planners:

So parking was a little confusing/concerning to some of our guests, but in the end my husband and I warned our bridal party about it and they (and Marissa et. al, those heroes) helped everyone get to where they needed to be. There is a short but winding walk up to the venue from the parking area, but there is also a closer ADA/VIP parking area that is directly on the venue. We had several elderly/unwell guests, guests with small children, and guests with physical disabilities all make it to the ceremony space without an issues.

Bathrooms were clean and easy to find, and the staff was great about tidying up any incidents right away. At least as far as my husband and I know, bathrooms were not an issue.

What I remember of the food was really delicious- the hor d'oeuvres in particular were amazing. We were so worried about not having enough food that we added an extra entree to our family style options, and while that probably wasn't necessary lol many of our guests appreciated the extra variety. We weren't actually hungry enough to eat much of the rest of the offerings, but we heard mostly good things from our guests. A few guests told us that the beef was a bit dry/overcooked, but that might have been our fault for requesting the accompanying sauce to be put on the side.

For responsiveness, honestly we did usually get an out-of-office automatic response whenever we reached out, but I can't say it ever became a problem.

Overall, I found the Trademark Venus team to be friendly, reliable, transparent, communicative, extremely organized, detail oriented, and experienced. The beauty of the actual Green Gables venue speaks for itself.”

“I recently attended a wedding at Twin Oaks House and had a really lovely experience. The venue itself is beautiful, peaceful, green, and full of charm. It made for a great setting, especially during the ceremony and cocktail hour.

Everything seemed well-organized, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the evening. You could tell a lot of thought had gone into the planning and execution.

Overall, it was a great spot for a wedding and my friends and I had a wonderful time. It was charming, relaxed, and memorable without feeling overdone. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a venue with character and a natural feel.”

“Third time using this space for a meeting. Our group was in the Redel Room this time. They make the experience so simple it's wonderful. Various size rooms are available whereby you can show up and in no time at all be meeting and conducting business. Highly recommend.”

“(Translated by Google) I went to a wedding in this place and I loved it because it is a very comfortable, beautiful and intimate place.It was a great experience full of love and joy for the newlyweds.I definitely recommend this place for an event like this.(Original)Fuí a una boda en este lugar y me encantó porque es un lugar muy cómodo, bonito e íntimo.Fue una gran experiencia llena de amor y alegría por los recién casados.Sin dudas recomiendo este lugar para realizar un evento así”

“A great place to just let the kids get their energy out.

With different packages available it is an inexpensive option compared to a gym or sport.

Lots of open space and a few arcade games available for free use.

Grip socks available for purchase to help keep the little ones safe from slipping and falling.

Snacks and drinks available for purchase that are reasonably priced too. Ice cream, nachos, pretzels, pizzas and Icees...

If you don't want to go to the movies, beach or park- consider dropping in here for an hour or two to escape the summer heat.

Be back soon.”

“This was my third stay at this hotel. I will probably book again because of proximity to relatives in San Diego. However, especially in the summer, this hotel seems to be the choice for many youth sports teams in San Diego for tournaments. Not saying it's good or bad, it just is so know that going in. For that reason I have to remember to request a room not anywhere near the pool. It was very loud and crowded with teenagers at night even after 10PM. My wife and I would've enjoyed a late evening swim, but didn't bother because of this. So call to see what events are being held and get a room far from the pool.”

“It is a lovely place and perfect for us to have a staycation. The place is lovely and even though it its located in the middle of the city it feels like your in a mountain resort. The only thing I didn't like was that the check-in is so late at 4pm and checkout at 11 am I feel like hotels are squeeszing the time you have at the hotel.”

“Ton of fun! Great for parties. Our department has a holiday party there every year and we love it. The food is delicious and the bowling is a blast! They also have a mini arcade with fun games. Definitely recommend if you're into bowling.”

“We did a last minute family trip to Legoland and came across this hotel! The breakfast was ok not the best but decent. Our room was beautiful with a fireplace and city view also very clean but the guest service was what was best of all. Alex Le made us feel so welcomed and was so kind and friendly. For him alone I would recommend you stop by and say hello i guarantee he would treat you like family. Thank you Alex Le for your kindness, patience and hospitality. By the way your favorite room is now one of ours… Thank you again….”
