    When I was there, some chickens and  a soon to be mama white peacock let me feed them. Which reminds me I should go back to visit soon

    My experience at Garden of Light was fabulous! I met Sheila who was lovely and gracious. The process of transforming the property into a venue for healing and joyful events is an ongoing daunting task for her and she is succeeding! Sheila walked us around and told us about the past history of the place (I found fascinating) and shared her vision for the future-- and I wish her well! With the great potential snd all its got going I hope that this beautiful garden space becomes a destination event center for SD inland north county.

    Took a tour of this venue for our future wedding to see if this was the one. Alas, no, too many…read morepractical issues, but we liked the property, it would cater to some exclusive groups, just misses some marks with us as the space and layout is an issue. But here's my notes on the property: overnight accommodations, great place, only issue would be parking. For 3 days and 2 nights you rent the guest cottage as well as the ballroom/main kitchen and terrace areas of the main house for about $8,500 for all the events. The only thing they would like is to not use both locations for any particular one event. But you can have the rehearsal at either, the wedding/cocktails (pretty much anywhere food or beverage is served) at one or the other, the ceremony at one and Sunday brunch at either. More than likely, it works the best with the cottages being the place for a rehearsal dinner, maybe ceremony, the main house for ceremony and reception, and guest cottages for Sunday brunch. They are flexible on outside vendors, but do have a preferred list. Outside vendors must be insured and licensed. This place reminds me of much of Montecito except Bonsall is re-surging from strictly old rural areas to newer neighborhoods so there are still pockets of rural/horse farms in between nice properties. The view is country hillsides. The roads as of 2012 were undergoing construction. Would have to check back and see what progress has been made to make the trip there more beautiful and to see what Saturday afternoon, Friday evening, Saturday night and Sunday morning traffic would be like. May cost about $2000 to solve the parking issue. Not sure what the costs are going to be for on site transport. Overall the customer service was good, but it definitely seemed for a property that wants to do weddings on an exclusive basis there is way too much DIY costs here to accommodate it. It's just a great house on a tree filled property that originally wasn't meant for events. The layout alone provides conflicts and at first they seemed flexible but as I asked further questions about working around the issues there seemed to be less flexibility. Couple that with the owners living on site and you essentially borrowing their space, it just feels awkward and less exclusive to me. The lose a star for that, but other than is a great property. If you aim low, have a small guest list, your guests won't mind a shuttle or carpooling, can do without a valet, do not mind sharing a property with someone, do not need to accommodate disabilities/elderly much or require more than 2-4 peoples worth of overnight accommodation, you should be fine.

From the very first point of contact with 1024 when getting a quote to literally the seconds before my bouquet toss when Trey found my flowers and handed them to me himself, the folks at 1024 were professional, responsive (even responding late on a Saturday night in the lead up to the big day!), highly organized and energetic. You can tell they care, and they are committed to being the very best. I even found out from my wedding venue that Trey scoped out the scene the day before! And, most importantly, the actual music itself was amazing - guests never left the dance floor and there was never a lull in the music or atmosphere, and never a bad pick. Trey was able to read the crowd and keep the party going. I actually had guests approach me in the days after the wedding asking for 1024's contact info for their own events, so be expecting an email! Plus, the price was completely on par with other DJs in the area (and I got a lot of quotes). Don't underestimate the importance of music at your wedding. Hire these guys and you'll be so happy you did. Thank you, Trey and 1024!

    If You Care About Your Wedding Day, I Recommend Looking Elsewhere…read more I don't write negative reviews lightly, but if sharing our experience helps another couple avoid what we went through, it's worth it. We hired this company over two years before our wedding and worked directly with DJ Mike the entire time. During those two years, we met with him, planned our reception, discussed every detail of our timeline, and were repeatedly assured that he would be our DJ and MC. He emphasized that, as our MC, his job was to keep the reception running smoothly so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. The company had us use their planning app, where I spent countless hours entering every detail of our reception--from announcements and pronunciations to specific songs timed down to the exact second they were supposed to play. I trusted that all of that planning would ensure our wedding ran seamlessly. Then, about a week before our wedding, Mike essentially stopped communicating with us. It wasn't until our hired coordinator contacted the owner just two days before the wedding that we learned Mike would no longer be our DJ. We were never proactively informed. My husband eventually received a message from Mike stating that he had been reassigned to a corporate event. After two years of building a relationship and planning our wedding with him, we were simply replaced at the last minute. We were assured Javier would take over and that he was "great." Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Nearly every major musical moment during our reception was wrong. My husband's processional song was incorrect. Our first dance was incorrect. My father-daughter dance was incorrect. The mother-son dance was incorrect. We had to stop our own wedding reception multiple times to correct the DJ. Think about that for a moment. A bride and groom should never have to interrupt their own wedding to fix mistakes that should have been prevented through preparation. The most frustrating part is that every one of these songs had already been entered into the company's planning app months in advance. Instead of using the detailed timeline we spent two years creating, Javier appeared to be working from a handwritten sheet of paper covered in scribbled notes. It left us asking one simple question: What was the purpose of the planning app if none of the information was actually being used? The mistakes didn't stop with the music. Despite confirming pronunciations with both us and our coordinator, names were still announced incorrectly. What makes this especially heartbreaking is that my husband's parents both have Alzheimer's dementia. This was likely one of the last major family celebrations they'll remember. Moments that should have been joyful and unforgettable were interrupted by confusion, corrections, and preventable mistakes. Those memories cannot be recreated. After the wedding, we contacted the owner, Monique, hoping for accountability and, at the very least, some empathy. Instead, we received what felt like a dismissive response. We were told she had conducted a "review" which concluded everything went well minus two songs. Our experience as the bride and groom was effectively minimized. We were also told that our coordinator wasn't present for the entire reception--as though that somehow explained what happened. Yet we specifically hired a DJ who assured us he would also serve as the MC and keep the reception on track. That responsibility didn't disappear because our coordinator stepped away. Mistakes can happen. What defines a business is how it responds when they do. Unfortunately, what disappointed us most wasn't just the last-minute DJ change or the repeated mistakes throughout our reception. It was the complete lack of ownership afterward. We were left feeling unheard, dismissed, and blamed for problems that should never have occurred. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You don't get a second chance at your first dance, your parents' dances, or the memories made that night.

Kimberly took the time to sit down with us and our wedding planners to ensure her vision matched not only what we had pictured for our wedding day but also what our planner was putting together. She brings a relevant style that doesn't surrender classical beauty for current fads. Her ability to provide florals for an immense variety of locations and needs is a testament to her skill and eye for design. Not only did she handle classic bouquets, center pieces, and boutonnieres, she also created beautiful flower boxes and a wonderful floral piece for the wood house we were married under. We highly recommend Kimberly for any wedding (or other event!) in Southern California.

    I will not write a novel ranting and raving about how wonderful Kimberly is, even though I want to…read more I was married at Green Gables 10/09/15. She is absolutely amazing at being a wedding florist. Also, she's super sweet and easy to talk to. I told her the style I liked and she did the rest. Our wedding was beautiful. Much to my surprise she is very competitively priced without having to negotiate. I spoke with many florists trying to find the right one within our budget. I found Kimberly and thanked the other florists I spoke to for their time. They would email me back saying they could give me a lower price. Ok, why didn't you give me that price to begin with? Anyway, Kimberly is such a gem. She gave me a good price from the beginning, and I think that says a lot about her character. Check her out on Instagram. She has beautiful pictures of her work.

    These are probably the best courts to play at in North county San Diego…read more This place offers luxury courts with general admission pricing. I have played here a few times and each time the experience has gotten better and better. Everything from the lights, The court surface, and the viewing deck are top notch. You can tell that no detail has been spared in making these courts. The lights have a fast refresh rate, and basically make it as bright as day when you are playing at night. The court area is very large, and honestly it used to be a little annoying to chase down all the balls, but the owner recently set up little blockers which have cut down the ball chasing time immensely. The owner is a super cool guy and a veteran. So he is very military friendly. He's also a Selkirk rep, so hit him up for everything selkirk There's also adequate parking and I have seen up to 20 cars parked in the dirt lot next to the courts no problem. I've heard the owner is in the process of putting in an additional court, and when that happens I can't think of a better place to hold an 8 person round robin or mini tournament! Rates go for $20 an hour for court rentals and $40 an hour for private drilling/lessons. Hard to beat that!

Jimmy is always around to make sure things go smoothly & he's a terrific instructor if you need a drill partner. The seating area/deck is tastefully decorated and is in the perfect spot to observe play on the court. The Bill also offers a cold plunge which is invigorating & perfect for sport recovery. I cannot say enough about this little slice of paradise that Jimmy has created in Fallbrook. We hope to spend many more days at The Bill improving our pickleball game & cold plunging! 5 STARS all the way!
