The Vistonian was a lovely venue! We loved all of the greenery and natural light inside the venue. It was spacious and allowed for plenty of room for our guests. The bridal suite was also spacious with lots of mirrors and outlets. We used the venue for both ceremony and reception. It was an easy transition going from one to the next. We worked with Shelly, the venue coordinator, and she was fabulous! Great communication from when we toured, booked, and up to our big day. The value for what we got was amazing as well! We did their all inclusive package and were happy with the price for all that we got: tables & chairs, bridal suite, catering, open bar, and DJ. Honestly, so great if you're on a budget or have a bigger budget and want to spend more on something like decor or florals. Highly recommend!!

Picking a wedding venue is now easy task and I'm so grateful to have found and chosen Shadowridge. Codie & Morgan were my coordinators, and they helped me so much with the process of planning, choosing the details, timeline, and day of coordination. Codie was absolute perfection, she is so sweet and kind, she handled the day of coordination amazingly, she was there for me whenever I needed her, and she knew exactly what to do even when I had no idea! The reception hall was GORGEOUS, I loved how everything was set up, she did everything and more to help ease the stress of my wedding day! I couldn't have done this without her, Codie, I'll forever be grateful for all of your help and pure kindness. The food service was also great, we received many compliments on the cocktail hour foods and dinner service! All of the staff there were incredibly kind and nice, the bartenders, staff, chefs, bus boys, everyone was amazing. Our DJ Arnie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, he is recommended by Codie and works frequently with Shadowridge and I'm so thankful we booked him. I definitely recommend having your wedding here, they did an exceptional job and Codie was perfection. Thank you!!!

We had our wedding welcome party at Pure Project in Vista and seriously couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. Have been a long time fan of the brewery and also a favorite of some of our friends. The staff was awesome—super helpful and made the whole planning process really easy. The space is gorgeous, with tons of natural light and plants everywhere, so it felt super cozy and inviting. The beer (obviously) was amazing, and they even let us bring our own wine for a small corkage fee, which was perfect for our wine-loving family. It was the perfect place to kick off our wedding weekend. Highly recommend!

The property is beautifully secluded, and every bit of landscaping feels thoughtfully designed with so much love and intention. The owner of Victoria Ranch also provided her company’s catering, and the food ended up being one of the standout highlights of our day. We received so many compliments on the dinner, the atmosphere, and especially the incredible staff. Victoria Ranch is truly a hidden gem, filled with charming original details from over 100 years ago that make it all the more unique.
