The Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens are truly beautiful. It really is paradise tucked away in Fallbrook. What a spectacular hideaway. Lauren and Ryan picked one of the most beautiful properties in North County to host their big day. We always love to shoot our couples at this amazing spot! So many hidden gems throughout the property to photograph. Lauren and Ryan had the most beautiful ceremony and reception at the Grand Tradition- Arbor Terrace. We can’t say enough about these two and their wonderful and kind friends and family. We loved every minute with this location and thoughtful couple! Everyday is wonderful with days like this one!!

We loved working at Grand Tradition!! Here is what another bride thought!!

“I honestly don’t know where to begin. I have so many nice things to say about the estate and the staff! I had my eye on this venue for my wedding for over 5 years. I’ve watched it change slightly, improve with each renovation, and the prices increase (LOL).

When it was time to finally book the venue, I promised my parents that I would look at other places because of the cost of GT. Granted, I have expensive taste and there were only 2 other venues that SLIGHTLY compared to GT’s beauty, and they weren’t that much cheaper. I figured GT is worth every extra penny than the other venues and, after my parent’s acceptance, booked GT 14 months in advance! My first coordinator was Amanda who was very friendly and energetic. She learned about my wedding quickly although it’s not typical to meet them so soon. About half-way in they changed my coordinator from Amanda to Alyssa. I was very skeptical since I had built a friendship with Amanda and requested to have a manager on the sidelines while I transitioned to Alyssa (which they accommodated) SHE. WAS. AMAZING! (Carrie – you’re amazing too!) I felt as if I was her only bride – she remembered not only wedding details but personal details about myself that I had mentioned. She knew my wedding details as if they were her own and always greeted me with a smile. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic! Every meeting with her was like meeting with a friend- she made me feel welcome and at home. She helped me fight for a few very unique requests that, without her persistence, I’m sure would have been declined by management.

I’ve worked with a few coordinators at friend’s weddings at other venues and I can honestly say she’s the best I’ve met and I’m extremely thankful for her. The rest of the staff was always very welcoming, complimentary, and treated me like a Queen. I had a couple hiccups along the way for things that were out of my control (remodeling 3 months before my wedding? EEEK) but every issue they resolved with flying colors, quickly, and with a smile (even though I was definitely a bridezilla). If booking this venue for it’s looks isn’t enough, then book them based on the staff.

You’re in EXCELLENT hands and they will make sure that no matter what, no matter how crazy the request, they will make your dream wedding a reality. The upkeep of the venue is outstanding. You’ll never see a dead flower or a dry spot in the grass (and I’ve visited GT for every season). Grand Tradition is by far the most beautiful venue for a wedding and what I like to call “the happiest place on earth”.
