From our first inquiry, the team at San Clemente Shore by Wedgewood Weddings was incredibly thorough, informative and organized. Our coordinator, Noelle, was experienced and made sure our vision came to life in an elegant and fun way. Noelle and her team paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring my husband and I were taken care of all night - they even packed us a bag of food and cake to take home! We are so grateful to the San Clemente Shore team for making our special day even better than we imagined. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, experienced and organized group to work with. We are thrilled we chose this beautiful venue for our wedding.
