Malibu Farm may be the best new venue in San Diego! From the location to the farm to table restaurant we were blown away with the attention to detail. The staff was welcoming and was amazing to see the culinary experience behind the large glass windows. We are so excited for the ceremony space looking out at The Coronado Bridge. If you are a bride to be and looking for a dream wedding venue in San Diego, look no further.

Seriously the hottest up-and-coming venue in the entire Monterey Bay area - where the beautiful and unique grounds are only the surface! Every aspect of the venue has been carefully thought out to accommodate the wedding party, guests, and vendors perfectly. The tropical foliage of the ceremony lawn offered a stunning backdrop for our vows (plus the sweet scent that wafts from nearby strawberry fields). The reception area was the perfect size and layout for our guests to eat, drink, play games, and dance throughout the night - cozy but spacious at the same time. Brothers Ranch was so beautiful and so well designed that we really didn’t need many of our own decorations. Also a huge plus for us was having access to the space for the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday) so we had plenty of time for setup and we didn’t have to worry about cleanup at the end of our wedding night! But the true heart of this venue is Jessie and Jonathan Brothers. More gracious hosts than venue owners, they helped us every step of the way to have an amazing and stress-free wedding. They both went above and beyond running around the whole weekend handling all of the little details to provide a seamless experience for us and our guests, from giving golf cart rides between the reception and ceremony spaces to rolling out heaters after sundown. So a big thank you to Jessie and Jonathan and definitely book Brother Ranch - the best venue in all of Monterey Bay for an amazing, beautiful, stress-free, and super fun wedding!

We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

We truly cannot thank Canopy Grove by Wedgewood Weddings enough for all the care and support they gave us not just on our wedding day, but throughout the planning and in all the days leading up to the wedding! My husband and I were apart for 4 out of 6 months of the preparation, so the wedding planning was definitely not easy. The all-in package offered by Wedgewood was a such a big help for us as it minimized the stress of planning with all the inclusions and recommended vendors. The venue was so gorgeous and intimate, we immediately knew that this was the one for us. The whole team was also very helpful and accommodating since day one. We’re really lucky to have Canopy Grove as our venue, Wedgewood Weddings as our team, and Katey as our coordinator. They made our dream wedding possible so thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts!

CRC Ranch is a 70 acre equestrian ranch with two absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites on property. I “got hitched” at CRC this last weekend and it truly could not have been any more perfect. This was the last venue my now husband, family and I toured in our search for a wedding venue. I knew I wanted something a little more rustic but still elegant and that is exactly what the Ranch offers. There’s a stunning outdoor ceremony site with a beautiful stone walkway for the aisle, a wooden stage and arch. Then there’s a beautiful indoor air conditioned barn with the most beautiful grand entrance doors for the reception. Not to mention MULTIPLE beautiful airbnbs, and trailer/RV Spots to stay at over night. This was a “pro” we were not going to find anywhere else and really what held our interest in the Ranch since a lot of my family would be traveling from Los Angeles. We ended up booking 3/5 of the airbnbs and 5 RV spots for our wedding weekend. As for the staff at CRC, I could not be happier with the way our entire day turned out and truly it was all thanks to Tracey and staff. From the very beginning, Tracey has been nothing but professional, honest, and very understanding of what we wanted our special day to look like. Tracey and her staff continued to check in throughout our wedding planning process to see if we needed anything and to recommend vendors to make the day that much more special. Tracey was truly a phenomenal wedding coordinator. We started our ceremony a bit late due to other uncontrollable circumstances but Tracey made sure to do what was necessary to get us back on track. Everything turned out so beautifully and amazing. Our guests had such a great time and loved being able to explore the ranch and look at the horses during cocktail hour. We had so much positive feedback from our wedding party and our guests on how this was just a beautiful wedding and would be a weekend to remember. A huge thank you to Tracey, her staff, the owner Bob, and all the other vendors that made our wedding day quite literally the best day of our lives. We will definitely be back to the ranch to visit, maybe spend a weekend, and say hello to the staff. I highly recommend working with Tracey and booking CRC Ranch as your wedding venue if you want a beautiful rustic wedding!

Topo's Restaurant Bar & Banquet Facility was a great venue for our wedding celebration. The communication with the staff, particularly Jorge was generally good, but we did have to double check on a few things to ensure everything was just right. The space itself was intimate yet roomy, providing a nice atmosphere for our event. Jorge and the team made sure everything was nice and in order, contributing to us having an overall great time on our special day.

Everyone at Live Oak made it easy for us to achieve the wedding setup we envisioned. From showing us photos of the space with others' decor, to sending us links with suggestions, coming to the venue to help us plan at times that worked for us, working with us to create a checklist and timeline, and showing up early/ staying late to clean up, we felt that the people at Live Oak really wanted to help us achieve the wedding that worked for us. On the day of the wedding, it was nice to have the Cottage as a room to prep and primp, and I was able to see the arriving guests while staying unseen. We also stored flowers in the kitchen fridge, which helped keep them fresh. Overall, we were consulted as to our wishes prior to the event, then during the actual wedding, things that needed to be done "behind the scenes" were taken care of, which left us able to focus on our guests and each other.

We got married at Scribner Bend in June. This venue is gorgeous with tons of greenery and florals which cut down on decor costs for us. It is set up perfectly with a separate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception space. We knew immediately after touring that we would not find anything better! They provided a preferred vendor list which led me to an amazing photographer, florist and DJ who all added to the magic of the day. Paisanos catering was incredible as well.

Tal vez nuestro evento fue algo fuera de lo común, a diferencia de los eventos de boda que se organizan aquí, nosotros contratamos el granero para el 25 de Diciembre para celebrar los 15 años de mi hija , sabemos que son días festivos donde la gente está con su familia , más sin embargo recibimos todo su apoyo para que el evento se hiciera realidad en este día tan especial , puedo decirles que fue una experiencia maravillosa, fue en evento de ensueño y de igual manera nos hospedamos en la casa, donde realmente nos sentimos como en nuestro hogar , sinceramente todas las instalaciones estuvieron limpias en todo momento, Gary estuvo al pendiente de si necesitábamos algo y al igual si la empresa que contratamos para la planeación necesitaban apoyo. Quiero animar a todos los papás que deseen hacerle su quinceañera a su hija, que consideren contratar los servicios de Suisun Valley Inn, ya que harán que su hija viva una experiencia única y de ensueño, no se arrepentirán. Sr Gary agradezco todas sus atenciones y muy pronto estaremos trabajando con usted para los 15 años de mi otra hija… Bendiciones

Let me just start by saying what an amazing day and venue Hawk Ranch is for a wedding. When we were looking for venues, I didn’t want anything over the top — I just wanted something beautiful, natural, and stress-free. The moment we drove through the gates of Hawk Ranch, it felt magical. Then we met Crystal… and don’t even get me started on her! She was beyond amazing from the very beginning. She walked us through the property, explained exactly how the day would flow, and truly made us feel like we were in good hands. We planned our wedding for two years, and Crystal stayed in touch the entire time — checking in, keeping us calm, and making sure every little detail was handled. She coordinated with vendors, managed head counts (which I changed about four times after the due date!), and kept everything running smoothly so we didn’t have to stress. Seeing the venue transform from a blank slate into my dream wedding was unbelievable. The ceremony site was everything I imagined and more, and the reception and cocktail areas were laid out perfectly. Once the sun went down, the twinkle lights made the night absolutely magical. The Hawk Ranch staff, catering team, security, and bar were all incredible. Even when our dogs needed water during the ceremony, someone found a way to make it work using a tray — that’s the kind of care and attention they give. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was — many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. If I could give Hawk Ranch 10 stars, I absolutely would. This place and the people behind it made our day perfect in every way.

To begin describing the experience we had at Del Oro Valley is difficult to do! Because it was SO amazing. We had our wedding venue cancel on us 6 months before our wedding and it was an emotionally deflating experience. However we didn’t realize at the time it was a gift that landed us at the most magical venue full of people more aligned with everything we love and stand for. Del Oro valley saved our wedding and provided us with more than we could have ever asked for. They went above and beyond to provide us with a peak experience I’m certain we couldn’t have achieved elsewhere. They helped us produce a talent show at, provided camp counselors for games and community activation, provided a place with incredible sound for us to dance all night, catered delicious food for 110 people, and gave us lasting memories. This venue has it all. Gorgeous mountain outlooks at the amphitheater for our ceremony and a candlelit patio dinner. An A-frame cabin decked out with lights and an excellent sound system for dancing. There’s a huge pool at main camp near lodging for folks to relax at during the day, and lodging onsite for all your people to stay and connect over the weekend. Couldn’t recommend this venue more. Thank you Del Oro Valley for sharing one of the most memorable weekends with us!

Our wedding exceeded every expectation we had, and so much of that was thanks to Kimwood Ranch! The beauty of the property is unmatched with everything you need on site - enough space for getting ready between the two houses, a variety of locations for photos, we loved having space for some guests to camp, and so much more. Our dance floor in the barn was packed till the very end! There was so much flexibility working with the whole Kimwood team - they were all kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. All of our vendors loved the location and enjoyed working with them too. Natalie as our coordinator went above and beyond, providing insight and guidance on the aspects I felt unsure of or wasn’t even thinking about. She truly made our wedding as smooth as possible and such a memorable day. I can’t say enough good things about her and the experience I got to have as a bride because of her. I’m tearing up writing this because she made such an impact! We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Kimwood!

Rachel and the Lone Wulff Ranch were an absolute dream for our wedding day. We were specifically looking for a venue where we weren't locked into catering contracts and could have food that fit us best and we quickly found The Lone Wulff Ranch. Immediately upon pulling onto the property for a tour I was pretty confident we were going to book. It has the perfect rustic ranch feel with so many options for your day. The oak tree is magical, the goats add such a fun touch, noodle and the rest of the characters on the ranch just added even more to the experience. In planning the big day Rachel was extremely prompt and professional. She has seen A LOT and she knows what to prepare you for. Her vendor list is top tier, but she lets you book outside of her list if you want which is nice if you want the flexibility. The staff on site during the wedding is amazing. Everyone is all in on you having a magical day and it really shows. The only issue (that I know of, at least) on our wedding day was that the bathroom generator ran out of gas, but Rachel was immediately on it and refilled it in a matter of minutes. This venue has SO MUCH to offer. If it fits your vision, book it. There is so much customization on this property, they have a prop den if you want to keep it easy. We got so many compliments on the venue and how balanced it is for guests. It gives you separate ceremony and reception space all on one property allowing for a seamless experience for everyone. The barn critters were such a fun addition for us, but Rachel also was extremely mindful that they were part of our vision for the day. I will always sing the praises of Rachel and this venue, absolutely would recommend.

After searching high and low, my husband and I decided on the Ranch at Stoney Creek. From the moment we stepped on the property, the beauty took our breaths away. From the pond at the entrance to the barn and grass area, to the upper area in the trees and grape vines where we had our ceremony. Michelle and Leon have the perfect property for that rustic/country wedding feel. One of the highlights I felt that made a difference was the fact that there are rooms on the property for the bridal party to stay at. Since we lived in Utah and all our friends are still in California, it was a great bonding experience to spend the weekend with them. All in all, they do a great job to keep the weekend running smooth. I would highly recommend this venue!
