Forever and Always Farm

I happened upon Forever and Always Farm while searching for a location with animals near San Diego. Everything from the location, to the grounds, to the staff was nothing less than perfect. The farm was warm, inviting, and cozy, and well-maintained. Roses are planted everywhere and the lavender was beautiful. The dinner and serving areas were beautiful and the wedding arch allowed for an amazing view of the hills in the distance and valley below. The Alpacas were out of a dream and 6 new baby lambs had just been born. The staff was so accommodating that it really felt like I was a warm and welcomed guest. I used the location for a family Photography Session and I can’t say enough great things. I will be back and I hope it will be sooner rather than later.

Writing a review on a venue is something I never think to do because I just officiate the weddings. I have never officiated at Forever and Always Farm until yesterday, 9/9/18. Yes, the grounds are beyond beautiful. This place is the literal definition of rustic elegance. The farm is immaculate and clean. When I arrived I was greeted by Sue, the coordinator and needless to say I was blown away by her perfect mix of friendliness and professionalism. When she realized I was the offiicant, she immediately showed me around--something that almost never happens with a coordinator. They usually just point and tell you where to go. I know she had to have been busy, so the fact that she did this with me speaks volumes. I couldn't help but take notice of how much this lady truly enjoyed what she does I did not have the pleasure of meeting Pam, but the bride and groom raved and raved about how wonderful she is----which I don't doubt. Every employee I encountered was friendly and engaging. It's true what they say. It starts from the top. I'm sure the entire evening for the happy couple was more than memorable. When I got home from the wedding, the first thing I said to my wife was, "I think I've found the place"----- for my daughter's wedding. ha ha ha. Pictures are wonderful but this place must be experienced in person.

So much to say about this amazing place. My wife and I were less than 60 days before our wedding day before deciding that we had to change our venue due to issues with the owners of a property originally booked. Our DJ, Jacob from Universal Weddings called Pam and told her we needed a venue and she by the grace of God had the day we needed open. I spoke to Pam and the next day we drove out to view the property and WOW! When I say it was to good to be true, I mean it. The grounds were perfect, Pam and Susie are amazing and the whole design was more than what we were hoping for.

We went from stressful wedding planning to wedding excitement the moment we drove on to her driveway. The whole place is full of flowers, in fact when we arrived Pam was walking around pruning the 1,000s of flowers in the front. There truly is not enough words to express how amazing Pam is, her passion, planning and vision is clear in every detail on the property.

We worked with Susie as our wedding coordinator. This lady is an Angel, she was so excited and knowledgeable about day of events and really was the perfect person to make the day go on with out any issues. Its been about 2 weeks since our wedding and I still have friends and family tell me how that was the best wedding they ever been too. Thank you Pam, Sam, Susie and team you guys and your venue will always have a special place in our hearts.

As far as the venue,

Forever & Always Farm is gorgeous! There are MANY photo opportuninties throughout the venue. The garden and layout at this farm is amazing, but the tranquility you experience while being here is even better! In my honest opinion, pictures don’t do this place justice. You miss the details Pam has incorporated throughout her venue. Pam also has a groom room and bridal suite. These rooms are convenient, yet BEAUTIFUL!! Running into Forever and Always farm was no accident, it was an answered prayer. Thank you Pam and her team for welcoming us with open arms!! I can’t wait to receive our video and photos to relive this beautiful memory.

Here are a few guest highlights:

-Guests LOVED the alpacas that came out to greet them during cocktail hour.

-Guests said food was AMAZING!!

Per a handful of guests: “This was the best wedding I’ve ever been to, thank you!”

I hope this review was helpful!
