Beautiful COVID wedding

I was able to have a small, beautiful outdoor wedding during all of the craziness at this beautiful location, along with a free nights stay. I would recommend 100%

The most romantic spot in San Diego

I'm the owner of Tayler Ashley Photography and I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding here. What a wonderful spot to get married! Gorgeous scenery, tons of options for ceremony and reception locations. Even though it's a popular hotel, the wedding felt so private and intimate.

Amazing!

Words cannot describe how much we LOVE the RBI and couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding!! We had the BEST experience working with Fran and Adrian. They were incredible throughout the entire process and we absolutely LOVED getting married on the Aragon Lawn and dancing the night away in the Aragon Ballroom! The minute I stepped onto the Aragon Lawn, I knew that was where I wanted to stand under the chuppah and marry my best friend. From start to finish, Adrian was my rock and so incredible to work with. She was there by my side morning, noon and night and truly helped make my dream wedding come true. Fran was amazing setting everything up for us and Adrian helped finalize our plans for our perfect wedding day. Even when it came to our tasting, they let me customize the menu due to our dietary restrictions and it was delicious! All of our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the ceremony and reception were. The RBI was 100% the most incredible, reliable, attentive, and support venue to work with. The venue it self, staff, food and entire ambiance was truly amazing and we highly recommend using the RBI as your wedding venue!!!

Absolutely amazing venue!

Getting married at the RBI was an absolute dream. Growing up in the area it meant so much to me to get married at this stunning venue. The locations are all gorgeous and there are countless areas for spectacular photos (especially during sunset). We were married at the North Lawn/Bernardo Ballroom area, and the flow of the evening could not have been more perfect! Special shout out to Adrian Dean for her help and attention to detail to make it our dream day :)

Best venue and best team

We had a small, intimate wedding for less than 30 people at RBI. The venue itself is very beautiful and relaxing and has many gorgeous lawns to meet different wedding needs. The RBI team, Adrian, Fran, Gina, and all other staffs, were perfect as well. They were very professional and always responded to our emails/phone calls promptly. All of our guests were impressed by the venue and Thank you RBI for making our wedding perfect!

Wedding September 2019 Aragon

I had my wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn at the Aragon Lawn and Aragon ballroom. When I first saw it, I fell in love with the venue and signed right away. They have the most gorgeous lawn and I felt like I didn't really need to do much for it to look nice. I am so happy I hired them. They were very accommodating to my needs and made sure my needs were met. They are very professional and makes sure everything is going the way I want it. Thank you RBI for an unforgettable experience!

Most Amazing Wedding Venue!

I got married at the Rancho Bernardo Inn and it was the perfect day! The venue itself is simply beautiful, and the service and staff are wonderful. What I loved about getting married at the RB Inn was that my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all in the same area, which meant no transportation needed! Another plus was being able to keep the party going in the bar after the reception. We loved having a built-in after party that, again, didn’t require transportation. Special thanks to Adrian, our catering services manager, for answering questions in a timely manner and making the day about US. She checked in with us during dinner and made us feel like we were in great hands.

Above and Beyond

Rancho Bernardo Inn will go above and beyond to make your dream day happen. Catering Sales Manager, Courtney Ikeda offered a world-class first impression. We looked at several locations up and down California, no one offered the attention to detail and personalization that Courtney did. We selected Rancho Bernardo Inn for our wedding site, not only because of the beautiful landscape, but because she set such a high standard for service. Fast-forward several months and 1000s of emails, the wedding weekend was successful due to the efforts of the property staff. Our Catering Services Manager, Adrian Dean, did everything in her power to make sure we had dinner outside on a rainy Memorial Day Weekend. RB Inn utilized a space on property that had never been used in this capacity and it was perfect. Thank you so much, Adrian! The team at RB Inn will go above and beyond to accommodate requests. A very special shout out to the banquet housemen who stayed calm through many location changes. The valet and bell staff were always eager to assist. The banquet team was exceptional, especially our captain and bartender. Thank you to RB Inn’s General Manager for allowing us to do something unique and truly memorable. You all played a part in our unforgettable wedding weekend.

Incredible Venue for a wedding reception! From our initial contact with Fran Brunn-Anderson who booked our event to the outstanding customer service provided by Louise Lambert, our catering manager the care, attention to detail, professionalism and awesome customer service extended to us by the entire staff was exceptional and exceeded our expectations!
The food was outstanding and our guests commented on how delicious the meal was.
The resort hotel rooms are luxurious and well appointed and our out of town guests were very pleased with the accommodations. We held our wedding reception in the Bernardo Room and it was the perfect size to comfortably seat 175 guests, bridal party, band etc...
The resort is beautiful and well maintained and has a spa, golf course and two restaurants.
Because of the outstanding customer, attention to detail, excellent oversight and management by the entire staff, we completely enjoyed this special celebration with our family, friends and guests. The best decision we made was to select the Rancho Bernardo Inn as the venue for our wedding reception. Highly recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
