Historic Rancho Santa Fe

Your wedding at The Secret Garden will be the destination event of the year. San Diego has over 70 mile of glorious coastline and Rancho Santa Fe is just five miles from the nearest beach. You and your guests are spoilt for choice when
it comes to activities with anything from action-packed surf lessons to romantic sunset hot air balloon trips. Visit famous La Jolla Cove or take in the old age glamor of Coronado Island. Closer to home you have Del Mar Racetrack where
the turf meets the surf.

Notable Rancho Santa Fe residents include Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (who planted 1000’s of Valencia orange trees at the couple’s Rancho Zorro property), Bing Crosby, Howard Hughes, Sean White and Bill Gates, all of whom fell
in love with this countryside retreat. A wedding at this exclusive Rancho Santa Fe’s venue is the epitome of laid back glamour that will enchant any guest.
