Breathtaking Oceanside Wedding Venue

Weddings

Aug 25

Botanica is a breathtaking Oceanside wedding venue. It features all the lush plant life that makes this part of California so beautiful. Lynn and Zack’s ethereal wedding photos show just how dreamy this venue is.

An Oceanside Wedding Venue

Botanica is perfectly named because it really is all about the vibrant plant life. Palm trees, flowers, and birds of paradise line the wide paths. The ceremony location even features a small waterfall and pond. You get to say your vows in your own slice of paradise. Botanica doesn’t need much decor, but it can handle dramatic installations. Bright florals like Lynn’s bridal bouquet are right at home here.

This Oceanside wedding venue has a capacity for up to 200 guests. There’s plenty of space to explore the grounds during cocktail hour and make the most of the stunning backdrops for photos. Botanica’s rental fee runs between $14,000 and $34,000 depending on the season, day of the week, and package. It includes conveniences such as two on-site getting ready suites, in-house catering, and customizable decor.

Botanica is easy to find. It’s 45 minutes north of San Diego on the coast along I-5. This Oceanside wedding venue is located on the edge of town. Even though it’s close to plenty of hotels and entertainment, it feels like another world.

Celebrating Lynn and Zack at Botanica

I absolutely loved working with Lynn and Zack to document their stunning wedding. Here are some kind words Lynn shared about their experience: "Chelsea was so easy to work with and just so lovely to have as a part of our wedding weekend! We have beautiful photos that we will cherish forever; I only wish we had unlimited time with her that day!!"
