Environmentally friendly, sustainable, organic fruit orchards and gardens!

Dear Paradise Gardens

I have been a wedding coordinator for almost thirty-five years and visiting your venue was an absolute joy and a pleasant surprise.Amanda and Phillip’s wedding was not only beautiful, your attention to detail was heartwarming and gorgeous, but also they chose a venue that reflected their style. I loved the richness of its history with a natural environmental nod that paid homage to our precious earth. 

Many venues boast of “environmental friendly” however, Paradise Gardens lives the very essence of those words. It’s displayed in perfect harmony with organic fruit orchards and gardens, firmly packed decomposed granite walkways, natural rock planters, lush surroundings and the sweet melodious song of the many varieties of birds and wild life.

There are so many picturesque little vignettes that make for perfect photo opportunities for the Bride and Groom. The fruit orchards were a marvel. The diversity and display of flowers and succulents made me rethink my landscape! My most favorite part were the amazing varieties of vintage park benches that were available throughout the venue for a nice respite. They clearly showed the special effort that went into each of their care. They made me feel the love of this charming and unhurried space.

When you think nothing else will surprise you, the sun starts to set! The sun sets are breathtaking and an absolute wonder. From my perch on the wooden park bench, the fresh air seemed to glisten with the many hues of orange and pink as the sun made its way behind the mountains. It created a magnificent backdrop and enhanced the celebration and dancing. Everyone marveled at its beauty and witnessed the magic as darkness snuggled in.

We found out that the local Casinos were only a couple miles away from Paradise Gardens. The family enjoyed visiting them but they were far enough away to still feel private, secluded and peaceful. Since the venue was about an hour or so from our home, we took the opportunity to book a room so we could enjoy the area.

It was truly a delightful day and we were able to enjoy Amanda and Phillip’s wedding and family to the fullest. I wish you all the best and continued success!

Sincerely

Michelle Gregory

Paradise Gardens – Weddings & Event Venue

Paradise exists!

This is where the magic begins, and your heart is captured by the beauty of nature. I have never in my life experienced such love all around me. The colors of the fruits, oranges, pineapples, dragon fruits, avocados all entwined the to-be married couple with their blessings of beauty. My soul felt pure and free, with the wind softly caressing my skin, the glow of the sunset echoing upon the happy faces and music dancing in the air. Children running and dancing, family and friends enjoying the laughter of the day and reminiscing about the wedding. Under the palm trees, with a white huge feathery dream catcher hanging over the wedding couple, the dreams begin to unfold, and we are all breath taken by this magical ambiance called Paradise Gardens. 

I cannot think of a more beautiful place to experience love. I’m 63 and single, and I can’t wait to tie the knot with my soulmate at Paradise Gardens. Thank you to the owners and creators, Giuliana and Gil, who with their bare hands and love for mother earth, have brought their land to fulfill our senses ….and share the supreme elegance of nature. Thank you, Giuliana and Gil, for loving God’s creation.

The time we spent at Paradise Gardens is unforgettable! Nestled up in the mountains outside of San Diego, so secluded, peaceful and beautiful. We attended an outdoor wedding and sunset dinner reception, it was all breathtaking! This venue is a SOCAL hidden gem! 

This is by far the most beautiful wedding venue we have ever seen. From the rolling hills in the background to the hundreds of palm trees all around, this venue was jaw dropping and full of love, energy and great people. 

This venue was so beautiful from every angle - the nature there did the decorating! The greenery and the landscape were great for all ages - add a few personal touches and it really made this wedding effortlessly perfect! 

My son’s wedding took place in Paradise Gardens in Pauma Valley, San Diego county.
I couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful place for the event. Everyone had such a great time! We had a wonderful sunset at dinner time. The atmosphere was very romantic with family and friends enjoying every moment. Gill and Giuliana were caring and gracious hosts during the entire process.
I highly recommend this venue for big events.

We were guests at a wedding here, and the location is absolutely beautiful! The views are spectacular!
There are gorgeous palm trees, citrus, flowering plants, and other trees all over the property. A venue here is extremely peaceful, since it is in the middle of pure nature. Even though one can party away with music and fun too! We found it much nicer than a closed room in a hotel or other building.  So definitely a place to consider for anybody looking for a more beautiful natural setting!

I enjoyed the wedding here very much.  Very private, beautiful, and peaceful setting! A place to consider for many different kinds of venues, for anyone looking for beautiful nature!

We had a beautiful time at a wedding in Paradise Gardens. The gardens are lush and colorful. The experience we had there was delightful due to the organization, attention to detail, and care put into the event.

I attended a wedding at Paradise Gardens and the venue was enchanting.  We were surrounded by exotic flora, with banana trees as the background for the DJ and the dining area surrounded by beautiful flowers.The ceremony was in front of four palm trees while classic guitar music was being played.  Then, we danced on the dance floor into the wee hours. The hosts were very pleasant and accommodating.  I would highly recommend this venue for any celebration.

"Visiting Paradise Gardens was nothing short of amazing.  Every little detail was so well thought out from the flowers to the dance floor.  Not to mention the scenery was the most stunning Southern California backdrop for a party, everything you would want in a garden event.  I will definitely be revisiting!"

Amanda and Phil’s wedding was an absolute blast! The venue was super beautiful. The food was fantastic and the live performance was spectacular. I highly recommend this venue if you want a place that has beautiful scenic views of the mountains, electric atmosphere, and a moment that you will never forget! 

Giuliana is communicative and available but also not at all intrusive. She is truly sweet and a wonderful human. The place was exactly as advertised. If you're looking for a mansion at the Ritz, this isn't your place. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with yourself and nature, this is a gem!

 A super cute getaway on a fun little family-owned fruit farm. Giuliana and Gil were the kindest hosts and really made the place feel like a little home away from home. 

What an experience! The house is super cute and clean. The hostesses are super helpful and available any time you need them. The vibe around the property is incredible. Waking up with the birds singing at your door and the rabbits around the house and drinking your cup of coffee while looking at the mountains - is fantastic. You feel immersed in nature. Exactly what I was looking for. I definitely will go back soon. Thank you, Guiliana and Gil, for opening your property for a lovely experience.

Everything about this place is perfection!!! Do yourself a favor and book this place for a few nights! The hosts are hospitable and have perfect amenities for a nice stay! The tiny house is a dream. Their yard is a breath of fresh air. Definitely book this place!!!

This place was such a gem of a find, absolutely perfect for what I was wanting for and so much more! I stayed two delightful and restorative nights, with the plan to turn off my iPhone (well, mostly) and flip through two boxes of books I brought to inspire and game plan writing a book I've had in me for years but hadn't begun. Well ... it's begun! Much to the credit of this darling little tiny house. And particularly its front porch café (writing) table that also served as my front row seat to the skittering of ground squirrels and flitting of scrub jays among the orange, lemon, and loquat trees, laden with snacks ripe for the picking. Location is great, too. Though, by design, I mostly stayed on the property, I did make some jaunts to the Lazy H restaurant (salud, Enrique!), Jilberto's Taco Shop (the carnitas, wow!), and the Fox Raceway in Pala (brrrrap!). Palomar Observatory, a sidewinding drive up its namesake mountain, was still padlocked from Covid. So at night I sat out on that porch – admittedly with a few fingers of top-shelf rye whiskey, poured neat for warmth in the early Spring sweater weather – and stargazed that country-dark pin-pricked sky for hours. THANK YOU Giuliana and Gil for sharing this reenergizing little abode. I'll be back! And will bring family next time. For it turns out this trip was also reconnaissance. Mission accomplished.

This property is amazing. Both Gil and Giuliana make you feel right at home. Take a trip to the mountains to rest and relax.

Giuliana and Gil are absolutely amazing! They are such incredible hosts! They are so hospitable and so kind! And everything they represent are exactly the kind of people we need more of in this world. The tiny house and the entire property were superb! I really enjoyed my stay there and all the fruit trees!!! It was exactly what I needed to get away from the city. Seven stars!!! I will definitely keep coming back! I highly recommend!!

Words cannot describe the joy of my stay in paradise. The land is extraordinary, the smell of the blossoms on the trees was divine, the fun animals who wandered around, the birds, the epic sunsets and moonrises... what a great spot. You may want to pick up all the groceries and food you want, because you won't want to leave once you arrive. I was on a writing retreat, and the little porch was a perfect place to be immersed in nature and be in total creative flow. I got to listen to owls and coyotes one night as I was falling asleep. And I went on a fun hike close by, lots of options there. The tiny house has literally everything I could think of. Everything was easy to find and well laid out. You can keep the windows open for lots of fresh air or shut it down for heat. Even the bathhouse had everything I wanted. Gil was perfect to work with, very communicative and helpful. Many thanks for sharing such a beautiful spot with the world.

The tiny house was super cute, and surprisingly comfy to lounge in. But the best part was the ripe tangerines on the tree right in front of it. There's great hiking in the area, too. A+ would stay again if I'm back in the area!

This tiny house was amazing. Not only was the house itself super cool and well laid out, but the location is unbeatable. The fruit farm is so peaceful, and the fresh fruit was delicious. Also, the location was perfect, it’s located right in the mountains but just a short drive from the coast. Really has it all and the hosts were super nice and quick to respond! :)

We loved Giuliana's place. It's in a beautiful and quiet location surrounded by fruit trees. You can enjoy a relaxing morning and evening on the patio, there is a bbq grill, firepit and all the amenities you would need. Its 20 min drive to Palomar Mountain hiking trails, Julian's famous apple pie and so many local wineries. I would recommend this stay to anyone. Comfortable, cute place and Giuliana and Gil are an amazing host. You will be very glad you picked their place!

 The tiny house is lovely! A peaceful place out in nature, close to great hikes. Would come back! 

This was such a beautiful spot, while still being close enough to all the fun. Quiet, serene, with everything you'd need for a getaway. Would highly recommend!!

My daughter and I had such a unique amazing experience staying in Giuliana and Gil’s Tiny House on their fruit farm! The stunning view and warmest hospitality brought us the most enjoyable Memories! Giuliana is a beautiful artist and she decorated the house with a lot of her own designed ocean theme glass and other beautiful touching details that I love! Gil gave me the best massage and helped get rid of my leg pain. We had great conversation and felt like we knew each other before! We enjoyed all kinds of exotic seasonal fruit picked up right from the trees around house! Guava is our favorite! They surprised us with their handmade Guava Jam! It says a tiny house but we had everything we need! And they always asked us if we need anything more! We stayed two weeks here and every day feel so fresh! We got up in the morning and first thing we loved was to pick up Guava and eat by the tree! We had yoga in the sunset and watched stars every night right in front of the house! They even changed their own schedule for us because we liked to stay longer!!! We sincerely feel that the most important is that we gained our friendship with Giuliana and Gil! We are so lucky to meet such a kind, warm, helpful, lovely, beautiful couple!!! We love you Giuliana and Gil! We will come back soon and this will be our regular retreat place ever! See you soon! Much Love 💕 

Exactly what the description says, perfect tiny home in a beautiful area.
