Where Our Dream Wedding Became Reality

Choosing Rancho Guejito was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, we felt taken care of, supported, and genuinely valued and that feeling never changed throughout the entire process.

Nicole Park, the venue manager, is truly something special. She brought a sense of calm, organization, and care that every bride hopes for. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Nicole and her team made it feel effortless. Every detail was handled with intention, and everything came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined.
We got married at their new terrace venue, and it honestly took our breath away. It felt intimate, peaceful, and so naturally beautiful like something out of a dream. Looking around and seeing all of our favorite people in such a stunning space is a moment we will never forget. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the venue was.

What stood out the most was how seamlessly everything flowed. The team worked so well with all of our vendors, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment of the best day of our lives.

If you’re considering Rancho Guejito, just know this you are not just booking a venue, you are choosing a team that truly cares about your experience and your memories.

We left that day feeling so full of love and gratitude, and we already look forward to coming back, sharing a glass of wine, and reliving such a meaningful place in our story 🤍

Truly the wedding of our dreams at RG!

Choosing Rancho Guejito as our wedding venue was the best decision we made throughout our wedding process. From start to finish, we had the most amazing experience and are so grateful we got to get married there!

The grounds are absolutely incredible and we loved that we had so many different options for cocktail hour, the ceremony and reception. Our friends are still talking about how beautiful the venue was!

In addition to the beauty of the venue, the staff is incredible. Nicole went above and beyond to make sure we had all of our questions answered and was so organized every step of the way. We had an amazing wine tasting with the sommelier, Adam who helped us pick all the wine for our wedding that our guests absolutely loved! When you book a wedding at RG, they require you to have a wedding planner and Nicole gave us some amazing recommendations. We ended up going with San Diego Event Planning and working with Ivonne who was incredible. We cannot recommend her enough!

When we started looking into venues, we decided we wanted to bring in our own vendors for food, dessert, etc. and loved that RG allows this. It really gave us an opportunity to make the wedding feel really true to us. Nicole was so helpful in helping us navigate vendors and RG provides a great list of their own recommendations. It was an awesome way to save $$$ and get food that our guests truly loved!

We cannot say enough good things about RG. It really was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so excited to continue popping in on the weekends for wine and ordering their beef boxes!

Amazing venue!

The venue is absolutely beautiful in pictures, and blew us away in person!

On top of that, Nicole is extremely responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding, and especially during the wedding weekend!

She even went out of her way to help me find my lost (later found broken) phone! haha

They are so easy to work with!

Best Venue Ever!!!

Where do we even begin! Choosing Rancho Guejito as our venue was truly the best decision we could have made. The property itself is absolutely stunning, but what really sets it apart is the incredible team behind it. Nicole, the venue manager, is beyond talented at what she does, and on top of that, she’s such a genuine, kind person that makes you feel like you’ve gained a friend through the process. From touring and booking, to wine tasting with Adam (their wine is incredible!), to the wedding day itself, everything was seamless. Nicole was always so responsive to my questions, and she made us feel supported every step of the way.
The venue itself is so thoughtfully designed, our hair and makeup team raved about the spacious, beautiful getting-ready suites and said the layout was absolutely perfect. On top of that, I can’t tell you how many of our vendors mentioned how much they love working with Rancho Guejito. Everything about the venue is vendor-friendly, which made the day run so smoothly. Our friends and family were blown away by the beauty of the space and how flawlessly everything came together.
We owe so much of our dream wedding to Rancho Guejito, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’d pick this venue over and over again if we could!
(We’d attach more photos if we could but we don’t have our full gallery back yet & are just so eager to tell everyone how amazing this place is!!❤️)

Rancho Guejito is the perfect spot for your dream wedding

Have you ever toured a venue in the dark, in the middle of a storm? That’s how I first saw Rancho Guejito—and even under those circumstances, I knew it was the one. I toured around 20 venues across four cities, and nothing came close to Rancho.

The Grove, where we held our ceremony, is truly breathtaking—photos can’t do it justice. Standing in my wedding gown, surrounded by avocado trees and mountain views, I had the showstopper moment I’d always dreamed of. Afterward, the lawn near the bar created the perfect laid-back space for our guests to enjoy drinks and food, while the East Vineyard reception site—tucked among trees and vines and lit with twinkle lights—set the most magical scene for dancing the night away.

I spent the entire day at Rancho, and the bridal suite was spacious enough for 10 of us to get ready comfortably. It also served as a great spot for family to gather for pre-ceremony photos. Nicole was amazing—she coordinated everything with our planner, Lindsay, and chauffeured us around the property with such care. The entire experience felt smooth, supported, and effortless. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how stunning the venue was.

Two of my favorite vendors—our planner, Lindsay Dean, and our photographer, Kay Luna Pix—came directly from Rancho’s recommended vendor list. We couldn’t have pulled off our day without them, and I’m so grateful Rancho connected us early in the process.

We also loved the DIY flexibility of the venue. We were able to bring in Tandoori Group to cater an unforgettable meal, and by supplying our own beer and liquor, we cut our alcohol costs to less than half of what other venues quoted.

And I can’t leave out our wine tasting with Adam—it was such a fun and memorable part of the planning process. He guided us through the tasting, offered great advice, and helped us select wines that our guests raved about. We even brought home a few extra bottles to enjoy after the wedding!
Rancho Guejito was everything we hoped for in a venue and more. If you’re looking for a place that’s naturally stunning, customizable, and run by a genuinely wonderful team, I can’t recommend it enough.

Perfect Venue!

Where do we even begin to express how much we loved our wedding at Rancho Guejito! From our initial tour, we knew it was the venue for us.

The staff is incredible. Nicole and Anna were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire planning process. We could tell how much they care about all of their couples! Adam also led us through our wine tasting, and we had the best experience! He was so knowledgeable and the wine is fantastic!

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. From the ceremony area to the cocktail hour to the reception, our guests could not believe the views and scenery. We loved getting to go up to the Eagles Nest to take photos as well - it’s such a special experience and led to some of our favorite photos.

We also loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors to make the day as personal to us as possible. So many of our vendors also commented on how much they love weddings at Rancho!

Truly, Rancho was hands down the best decision we could have made for our wedding venue. It helped to shape the most amazing day of our lives. It’s a day that all of our friends and family are still talking about. We cannot recommend them enough! And we cannot wait to continue to visit as part of their wine club :)

We had our dream wedding at the most beautiful venue thanks to the amazing team at Rancho Guejito.

There was so much that was included in the price of the venue it made wedding planning so much less stressful, they had wonderful recommendations for vendors and they were extremely helpful and welcoming to the other vendors that we booked that were unfamiliar with the venue. They made sure that our day was as memorable and special as possible and helped make everything flow with ease. The locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all surrounded by beautiful mountain views and had the potential to make it your own.
Nicole was amazing to work with, she was so knowledgeable about the flow of the day, she answered all our questions and she was extremely dedicated to making sure we were taken care of.
Their wine selection is incredible and the wine tasting experience was truly special and one of our favorite parts of wedding planning!
Our wedding was beautiful, relaxing and was the perfect day thanks to Rancho Guejito, and I highly recommend every couple book this venue!

Stunning Outdoor Venue

Rancho Guejito and Nicole's team made for the BEST DAY! They recommended vendors, the entire staff is so friendly, and the wedding wine tasting process was so fun. . Parking is easy, the drive isn't too bad, and the property is stunning, with multiple options and flexibility. We are so lucky to have found this place through a friend who had attended a wedding at the same location. We look forward to coming back for weekend events and hopefully another friend's wedding. Thank you!

October 2024 Wedding

We had such an amazing experience having our wedding at Rancho Guejito Vineyard! Nicole was extremely attentive and very responsive with any questions we had. The winery is absolutely gorgeous and has so many locations for beautiful and varied photos. The space is large enough to fit a lot of people, but can still feel very intimate with a smaller guest count. We loved having the choice to book whatever vendors we wanted and wound up using quite a few from their preferred vendor list and had great experiences across the board! I would highly recommend Rancho Guejito for your wedding - I also love that since we live in the area we can visit on weekends and get great use of our wine club membership.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
