History
In the summer of 1986, John and Linda Zaruka purchased the lease of the Wedgewood Restaurant and Buenaventura Golf Course Pub & Grille in Ventura, California. In the early days John ran the banquet operations with Linda in charge of the sales and wedding coordination. In 2005 the Zarukas decided to expand their business and brought their all-inclusive, customizable Wedding packages first to North California and eventually across the nation. Wedgewood now operates over 30 wedding venues and hosts thousands of events a year. Galway Downs was added to Wedgewood Weddings in 2016.
