Venues & Event Spaces in San Marcos, CA

“We had our wedding at Twin Oaks in July 2023 and it was absolutely amazing and beautiful. The day was orchestrated perfectly and everything went so smoothly with the help of our wonderful planner Natalia. While I wouldn’t say that Trademark helps too much in the overall planning process, I do think they help tremendously in coordinating with vendors, putting together the wedding day timeline, and sorting out the design details. It is very nice and convenient to have the venue, catering, and rentals all in one with Trademark. The Twin Oaks venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and has the magical garden vibe that I was looking for. It fit our 110 guests well. The day was so perfect and we have so many amazing memories from our time there!”

“Unexpectedly one of the most charming stays we had in socal. Since my parents were celebrating their anniversary, we were met w the most beautiful and thoughtful welcome swans and gift basket (with snacks instead of wine since we let them know we don't drink alcohol). It was one of my parents' favorite stays and truly made them feel cared about. The staff was absolutely warm and caring and we really enjoyed our stay. An added plus was the cute and friendly robot that brought us toiletries that we forgot. Breakfast was hot and fairly good as well. Rooms were very clean.Loved our stay and would definitely recommend”

“My son and his bride recently had their wedding ceremony and reception at Green Gables. The venue is beautiful and event was perfect! April, our event coordinator, along with the bridal assistant for the day kept everything running smoothly and took care of the bride and groom. The food was great! The bride and groom attended a tasting with a small group of other couples and chose the menu. Our guests commented that they loved the cocktail hour appetizers and the Parmesan chicken for dinner especially. The venue was also able to accommodate vegan and gluten free guests. The beautiful grounds, buildings, furniture, windows and lighting made for a memorable day and beautiful photos. We did not upgrade the table settings offered by the venue. Beautiful florals with candlelight added the perfect sparkle on the tables. Some things we added that made everything the venue offered even better: large 5 gallon beverage dispensers for signature drinks at the bar (look on Amazon); a 5' long LED light with the bride and groom's names (Etsy) which April kindly hung on the green wall behind the sweetheart table; the florist (Breesa with Blooms) made a beautiful moveable arch with flowers that was used for the ceremony and then moved to flanked by the light behind the sweetheart table and it was gorgeous in both settings; charcuterie boards (made by Ilona at Bits & Bites) for the Gentlemen's Speakeasy and the Bridal Salon for "lunch" as the bridal party was getting ready prior to the ceremony; and last but not least, a coffee cart (Good Coffee Co. -- can't say enough good things about them!) for a variety of delicious coffee and espresso, caffeine and decaf drinks for following dinner through the end of the reception. I'd also like to highly recommend Dylan with Dancing DJ Productions (from the list of DJs provided by Trademark Venues). He was great and danced throughout the evening! And if you're thinking you want to elevate your own dancing for the bride and groom's first dance and their dances with their parents, I highly recommend you touch base with Dancing DJ Productions -- Kelsey is amazing!Wouldn't change a thing!”

“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.”

“Very clean, smells great! I was worried with all the hyper, sweaty kids it would feel stuffy and musty. The staff is very attentive to safety and professional. My son had a great time attending his friend's party there on a Friday night. I may have to do his party there as well, the staff helped everything run so smoothly.”

“I love this place there are so many regulars and I have made many friends that are so very pleasant. We usually sit in the bar area since the new place has so much more space. Every thing on the menu I get has been tasteful no complains there. The waitresses and bartenders are very friendly. Can't ask enough. Ran into Nick the owner many times and always gives me the time of day. Our to go place for sure.”

“Had a great experience here last night. Fun music, nice lanes and stiff drinks. We were just engaged at our previous stop and my future wife let the bartender know, and he stepped his game up for us as well as another staff member. Thanks for making our special night a little better.”

“It was so nice! Definitely get a room with a balcony with a view of the lake! It looked so beautiful. Loved walking around the lake and hearing the swans honking in the morning. Great if you bring your dog too. Just be careful with little dogs because there is a coyote hanging out in this vicinity and it will hide out in the shrubbery and snatch your dog up while you're walking (someone warned my friend). We saw it by the lake one of the days. The pedal boat was very fun! It costs extra but was worth it. A couple of the other options are free with your stay, but we didn't try them. The lake was so peaceful! The little coffee shop was also nice. They also have coffee makers in the rooms. This place is a hidden gem. Took stars off for the room downstairs with no balcony. It had no window you can open and smelled very stale and bad. Get a balcony room if you want fresh air. lol My phone internet using data was also really slow here for some reason, but they did have great WiFi you can use during your stay.Rooms: Get the balcony room for much-needed fresh air and a beautiful view of the lake.Also some random details - the bathrooms have no fans and the bathroom door is a sliding door that doesn't close fully (leaves a tiny space), the room lighting is pretty dim, and no microwaves although there is a fridge. The showers are large and nice and the beds are comfy.Food & drinks: They have a little coffee shop with fresh-made coffee and tea and some snacks, clothing, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles.Noteworthy details: All the employees I encountered were really nice.”

“I really enjoyed everything except that quite a few outlets in the suite didn't work. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were clean. The exercise room was nice. The breakfast was adequate and had real bacon. The staff was friendly and always had a greeting when I walked past.Rooms: Neat, clean, well organized, but at least 5 outlets didn't work.”

“First of all I’m a sea food lover and decided to give this place a shot. I ordered mix aguachiles and oysters and loved them!! My wife ordered mixed camaron and octopus a la diabla and it was also delicious. Definitely coming back!!”
