Reddit Reviews

August 2025 review: Make sure you understand what counts towards the minimum spend.

“I’m a Wedgewood bride and have had a good experience with them so far (though ended up at a different location for budget). One thing to check if you haven’t already is the minimums at GGC. For some of the dates we were looking at for GGC, we found that we’d come in under the minimum even with the elite package. The contract/brochures they provide aren’t super clear on what counts towards the minimum so I’d just double check that!” u/roleypoleypoler - Reddit, August 2025

February 2025 review: Cost effective wedding venue with delicious food, but outdoor ceremony was too cold in April.

“My partner and I did photography/videography at GGC for our friend's wedding so we got the unique opportunity to be guests and vendors- I want to say there were 100-120 folks in main ballroom space you mentioned. I think there was plenty of space for dinner and dancing, another one of the adjoining spaces was where the buffet was. They had their ceremony on-site up the hill outside the chapel and also went through the on-site services for dinner which was delicious. I don't know the exact specifics but I want to say it was pretty cost-effective to use everything that was bundled in.... I don't know if you said what time of year you were planning on getting married but her wedding was late April and ended up being foggy from sun-up to sundown with 0 Golden Gate views and a freezing ceremony.” u/baconbitzforever - Reddit, February 2025

May 2023 review: Great option for someone who wants all-inclusive, low-stress planning

“Our experience with Wedgewood was great. The benefit of having multiple venue coordinators on staff is that they are super responsive via email, the process is well developed in terms of the initial planning call, check point call, and final planning call, and the flexibility to add /subtract things from the package throughout the process was super simple. For us, we wanted to do minimal vendor sourcing, wanted a beautiful space that could accommodate 180-200, and didn't want to do much DIY so Wedgewood fit the bill.” u/Ambitious_Lie_2843 - Reddit, May 2023

Pros:

  • Great for couples who don't want to do DIY
  • Access to preferred vendors that are used to operating in the Golden Gate Club
  • Included wedding planning and coordination support. However, note that you likely will work with multiple coordinators over your wedding planning process (I.e., the wedding planner you use during planning may not be on-site for your wedding day).

Cons:

  • "Service charge" does not include gratuity / tips!
  • No individual tastings - couples must sign up for group tasting slots, which doesn't include all food options.
  • Multiple reviews suggest that a day-of coordinator is still needed to help manage your personal details and external non-Wedgewood Weddings vendors, even though Wedgewood Weddings provide planning and day-of support for their included services.
