River Garden Wedding & Event Venue

River Garden Wedding & Event Venue is an outdoor garden located in Vista, CA that was built in 2019 meant to serve the community by hosting weddings and other community events. Owners Matt and Amy began their journey by imagining a space where the community could gather.  Read Matt and Amy's Venue story here. The venue space was carefully designed to fit couples need with a beautiful blank space so that they could create their own wedding dreams. 

River Garden features 36,000 sq feet of beautiful space with a glass conservatory and amazing water features.  At River Garden the covered lawns and 3 gate access points allow couples to design a ceremony space that is unique to their style.  Allowing the wedding processional to have a direct walkway to the altar. One of the processional access points guides you across a beautiful cascading water feature where you can walk across the bridge to access the ceremony location.

The ceremony site is filled with beautiful lush gardens, mature trees, water features & river rock walls that makes the perfect natural background for your wedding photos.   The wedding venue can accommodate 350 guests with parking to hold 200 vehicles with extra street parking if needed. The venue is child friendly and ADA accessible allowing comfort for all of your guests.   The wedding space rental includes 12 hours of venue access with your choice of reclaimed wood farm tables and chairs.  This allows your wedding to have plenty of set up and tear down as well as a space to drop off decor the day before if needed.  

Cocktail Hour at River Garden is made easy with 2 beautiful mobile wood bars that come included in your wedding package.  The venue also includes 6 reclaimed wood cocktail tables, 8 umbrellas & 8 heaters for your guest to drink and mingle comfortably in the venue space.  The market lights, water features and accent lighting throughout the venue allow for a seamless natural decor look that will tie in the entire space with little to no added decor needed. 

The reception space under the conservatory is where the magic happens as the space transforms from day to night with the amazing waterfall focal point lining the entire back of the reception space.  As the couple is now married the guests will make their way into the reception space to celebrate and grab a seat at any of the wood farm tables & chairs. The venue also includes the sweat heart farm table for the couple sit while they entertain their guests.  With a state of the art speaker ceiling with over 500 speakers guests can enjoy amazing sound systems that stays within the walls of the venue but provides sound clarity & impact like no other venue in San Diego.
