We had our Wedding this year.

We had our Wedding this year. We had our ceremony and reception at the Seaside Room. The patio was perfect for the ceremony and our day of coordinator Ramon Salido made sure our Wedding went smooth without any issues! The food and desserts were amazing, all my guests loved it! Not to mention my three tired cakes with different flavors are so delicious. The service and food are highly recommended at the venue.

Our Beautiful Marina Wedding


My wife and I were very fortunate to get the seaside room for our wedding in June. During our whole planning process Bernardo was amazing. The amount of care, detail, and communication on his end helped us tremendously during that stressful and busy time of our lives. The day of our wedding was perfect. The staff at the reception were professional and on top of things. Bernardo was really good at meeting our needs regarding how we wanted our reception to be. If you ever want to do an event through ranch events, we highly recommend doing it through Bernardo. Our wedding reception was a very special day, and we are grateful for the experience

Our Beautiful Marina Wedding

My husband and I had our wedding this past June at the Seaside Room in Marina Village, hosted by Ranch Events — and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! There are so many great things to say about them.
To start, their wedding packages are very competitively priced, and their venues are absolutely beautiful. Having attended many weddings ourselves, we can honestly say ours was the first where we truly enjoyed the food! Initially, we were a bit hesitant about using Ranch Events for catering, but after our tasting, we were completely convinced — the food was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about both the meal and the ambiance.
Megan, our wedding coordinator, was fabulous. She was incredibly attentive, transparent, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire planning process. From our first meeting, it felt like we had known her for years — such a reassuring feeling during what can be an overwhelming time.
Thanks to Megan and the entire Ranch Events team, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Ranch Events to anyone planning their wedding. You won’t need to look anywhere else!

Great wedding

My son's wedding reception was everything I could have imagined, and more! Bernardo made sure everything was
perfect and went off without a hitch! The room set up was stunning and functional and the food was absolutely
amazing!! So many people came to us and told us this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to!

Great experience!

We cannot say enough about the quality of catering and customer service by Ranch Events for our wedding. Megan was
our main point of contact and was nothing but savvy and open-minded to our food & Bev ideas, creatively bringing them
to life in a functional and beautiful manner. We are the third couple in our family to utilize RE for rehearsal dinners &
weddings, and year over year they always do an amazing job. For our rehearsal dinner, we had buffet island style food
that RE set up at our parents backyard that was a nice casual yet perfectly celebratory dinner style to kick off the
weekend.

At our wedding, we had a plated & served dinner service that was more upscale (where the waiters bring the food to
each person at their tables) and everyone said their service was very detail oriented. We ordered a custom wedding
cake from RE as well as a 4' x 2' berry pastry dessert that they didn't hesitate to tackle making for us - it was stunning,
photo attached! We had a full bar (well numerous bars!) where we ourselves bought & provided all the booze + mixers,
etc. and they served. They absolutely crushed the assignment in all aspects of the weekend and brought our custom,
unique visions to life in a seamless, beautiful manner.

All of our guests raved that it was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the bartending was exceptional. It
meant so much to us to work with a catering company that had many great offerings established but also was excited to
think outside the box and make custom items for us. We even provided beef from the ranch where we got married for
them to cook with for appetizers to literally make the meal from farm to table. So special.

THANK YOU RANCH EVENTS - WE LOVE YOU!

Daughter's Wedding Reception 6-1-2024

What an amazing experience. The venue was beautiful and Megan was absolutely wonderful to work with and so very helpful. The food and cake were so amazing that our guests are still talking about it. The day of the wedding Sal and his team where right on point. Everything was ready for the guests when we arrived. They also were right there when we had a question or needed something. Would definately recommend Rand Events and their staff.

Amazing Caterer for Weddings!

We are beyond pleased with the superb catering of Ranch Events for our wedding at El Cortez’s Don Room! Ramon was so wonderful, helpful, and professional throughout the whole planning process. First, they brought us in for a food tasting, where they provided generous (full) portions of all food per our selected menu (normal, Mexican or Tuscany food menus)—they even provided us a slice of cake for over 9 cake flavors and let us take home all leftovers! The food tasting for our wedding menu that was provided was honestly the first “fun” moment of our stressful wedding planning process and I enjoyed it so much. For the food itself, it was so delicious and flavorful! I was cautious at first about what to expect for food quality and my expectations were far exceeded. Their amazing champagne amaretto cake is a must try for your own taste wedding cake!! The staff is so wonderful and helpful, and our main point of contact, Ramon, was a great coordinator and scheduled meetings for choosing the table linens and finalizing the wedding timeline, which I appreciated because it made me feel more calm about getting everything in place for our wedding. During the actual event, the Ranch Events staff were so professional, friendly and efficient, and all our guests told us how much they loved the food! I highly recommend Ranch Events for your future wedding!

Couldn't be happier with Ranch!

Bernardo and Ranch Catering were beyond incredible to work with throughout our wedding planning process! We originally were going to only use Ranch for their catering services but due to covid and restrictions at our original venue, we ultimately switched our reception to the Ranch Seaside Room in Mission Bay. Being a covid bride moving forward with our original date, I couldn’t help but be sad that we wouldn’t be able to use our original venue and that we would have to cut our guest list, but in the end, our wedding was infinitely more beautiful, fun, and perfect than we had every imagined it could be, all thanks to Bernardo and the Ranch team!

Bernardo worked with us through every step of planning our wedding from pre-covid planning through making the event as safe as possible for our guests. Not only was the food DELICIOUS (as we knew it would be from all of our taste testings!), but the Seaside Room and patio were beyond GORGEOUS and so well done by Ranch. My husband and I to this day are still in awe of how everything came together under Bernardo’s direction and guidance.

Bernardo was at our reception from start to finish making sure my now husband and I were happy with how everything turned out and not hungry! After months of stressful planning, it could not have come together better. It’s been just about two months since our wedding and we still have friends and family telling us how wonderful our wedding was and how it was the highlight of the year.

I rarely write reviews but I am so impressed by Bernardo and Ranch that I had to! I HIGHLY recommend them for any future bride looking for a great team, delicious food, and gorgeous bay front venue at an affordable price!

Amazing value and service from a local, family-owned business

We had a fantastic experience working with Ranch Events to cater our wedding! We have had nothing but fantastic service from this local, family-owned business.

Ramon made the entire process seamless, and was responsive, professional, and an overall delight to work with. We ended up coming in for two tastings, both completely complimentary, and everything was cooked in-house and delicious! We had such a good experience working with Ramon, that we decided to expand our order to include furniture rentals for both our ceremony and reception. We also decided to go with Ranch Events in-house florist, Natalie, and had such a wonderful experience working with Natalie and were blown away by her arrangements and floral choices.

Unfortunately due to the county-wide lockdown for COVID-19 two weeks before our wedding, we had to completely cancel all of our plans last minute. The team at Ranch Events were completely open in communication and empathetic in a time that must have been so difficult for their business, and kept our deposit available to be used on an event at a future date (which was fine with us!).

We have nothing but positive things to say about Natalie, Ramon, and the entire Ranch Events team, and look forward to working with them again in the future to cater many celebrations to come. We've also recommended them to multiple friends since then, because you simply cannot beat the quality and value of their services.

Yvonne was wonderful and really helped us design our wedding reception and was very attentive down to the last detail. Of course, she was even present during the reception to make sure that everything went perfect and that we were happy. All of our guests had a wonderful time and we couldn’t have been happier. During the planning process, she had many recommendations and worked with us to keep things within our budget. Thank you Yvonne! I would highly recommend Yvonne and Ranch Events!
