Recommendations

Beautiful location for our marriage celebration! — An Eventective User from San Diego, CA
My husband and I got married in our backyard with two witnesses and an officiant in 2020 due to the pandemic. On our one year anniversary we had a marriage celebration at the Water Conservation Garden, which included a reception and a ceremony reenactment. They were able to accommodate a Taco food truck as our food service, and had no problem with my brewing industry brother providing beer for the event from his brewery. The venue itself is spacious and gorgeous. Attendees loved being able to walk the gardens during the event. Would recommend the Water Conservation Garden to anyone. Great experience!
