Leo Carrillo really went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams! We only toured this venue (we had 3 locations on our minds) and knew the second we saw it that it was the spot for our big day! It is BEYOND beautiful (the roaming peacocks are a pretty cool perk and a crowd pleaser)!

The process was so easy from start to finish. Wedding planning can be EXTREMELY stressful, but Leo Carrillo made it such a relaxing and fun experience! They were on top of communicating, and answering my many questions throughout the planning process. Everyone that we worked with was so sweet and receptive!

Fast forward to our wedding day...it was an absolute DREAM! The setting was gorgeous and our day of coordinator Stephanie was the BEST! Everything went off without a hitch, and Stephanie was to thank for that! We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue, food (Taco Bar Package - many guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had), and service that Leo Carrillo/ Personal Touch Dining provided!

I would recommend this location to any and all brides who want a relaxing planning process and a magical wedding day!

Thanks again for making it a day we will NEVER forget!

Our wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch was literally simply MAGICAL. The PersonalTouch Dining staff is incredible. From the very start of the site visit inquiry all the way through to the grand exit on our wedding day, every single detail was covered by the team with attention and care. Emails and texts were responded to immediately. Samantha and our day of coordinator, Josie, were just phenomenal. True professionals and made my husband, me and our guests feel at ease and no worries at all. Two weeks afterwards, our guests are still raving about the venue and the food. Side note: the only complaint we had from a friend was he wished the short rib wasn't so good and that he didn't get another helping because he was so happily full that he couldn't dance as much as he wanted to. If that's the only con to the night, I'll take it! Thank you so much PersonalTouch team, you ladies are top notch!

All our gratitude,
Alisa & Mario

We had the most amazing experience having our wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch! We looked at 8+ wedding venues around the San Diego area and we fell in love with Leo Carrillo Ranch as soon as we set foot on the property. As the majority of our wedding guests would be visiting from the east coast, our goal was to have a wedding that felt very “southern California” and reflect the beauty of the area - and Leo Carrillo could not have been more perfect! The natural beauty of this venue is truly out of this world. We absolutely loved the look of the historic hacienda and the plants and cacti around the property make it so special! And the peacocks are so unique and fun! Besides how much we loved the venue, working with the Leo Carrillo / Personal Touch Dining staff was absolutely incredible. We originally booked our contract with a staff member that was no longer with the company as we got closer to the wedding date, and we were a bit nervous when there was the transition to the new employees as we had not met them yet. But Samantha and Vicki absolutely blew us away! They were both absolute joys to work with and they were so insanely great at communicating with us throughout the entire process. As I was a very anxious bride, they dealt with my many (MANY!) questions and always responded with such kindness and reassurance. Due to their communication, the wedding planning process felt so much easier. The entire team was so accommodating and even made edits to the food menu when requested and helped recommend how many ingredients we would need for our custom signature cocktail recipe. All of our guests gave such great feedback about the food and drinks!!! We really just felt like we were in such good hands and we were so well taken care of throughout the process. And now for our day-of-coordinator - we met Sam the day before the wedding at our rehearsal and we were absolutely blown away! She was incredibly kind, comforting, and knowledgeable and she really helped put me at ease when I was so nervous. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond and we were treated like royalty - she always made sure we had fresh drinks in our hand and she had dinner plates made up for us! She also kept us on track with the schedule and she even did things that we were not expecting at all, like helping with the decor and centerpieces. She was such a dream to work with and I felt so grateful for her the entire day! These pictures don’t do the venue enough justice but just go visit and see for yourself if you are looking for a wedding venue! We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Leo Carrillo Ranch and Personal Touch Dining - thank you SO much Sam, Samantha, and Vicki, we are forever grateful!
