We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day! From start to finish, everything about The Old Rancho exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, making us feel supported every step of the way. The space was so beautiful and every corner felt magical and made for unforgettable photos. Our guests were equally impressed and kept commenting on how beautiful and welcoming the venue was. We can't recommend The Old Rancho enough to anyone looking for a dreamy, seamless wedding experience!

I truly cannot express how beautiful our wedding turned out at the old rancho! We live up the street from this venue and have been dreaming of seeing everything come to life for close to a year now! When I walked out of the dressing room I was in absolute awe of how whimsical and beautiful this venue turned out to be. From the food to the service to the amazing coordinators who made this day possible I could not be happier with our venue choice! Thank you Paige and Ashley for all your hard work! I can’t wait to recommend your venue to our friends getting married in the future :)

I could not recommend The Old Rancho and Personal Touch Dining enough! I had my wedding here in June 2026 with about 120 guests and everything went perfectly without any hiccups. We were looking for a venue that felt like an elevated backyard wedding, and this perfectly fit the bill.

The flow of the event space from where the ceremony is held, to the cocktail hour, to the reception to the dance floor felt like everywhere had a specific place and purpose, but allowed for guests to still have places to talk outside of just sitting at the if they didn't want to be on the dance floor. It still felt like everyone was in the mix of the night, even if they were playing some provided games like corn hole, or sitting above the reception area and viewing everyone else from above. We got so many compliments of the space as well as the food!

Personal Touch dining is included in the venue fee, which was such a relief because they had the best food options and amazing staff! I didn't have to worry about anything involving catering because everything was handled for us. Side note, we randomly got so many compliments about the garlic mashed potatoes and the mini churros in chocolate, LOL.

We got so lucky with Ashely W. as our event coordinator throughout the process and the day of. She was so calm cool and collected the entire day, kept us on track with our agenda, all with the smile on her face.

10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a seamless, beautiful elevated backyard wedding vibe!

I had the absolute BEST experience having my wedding at The Old Rancho. It was an absolutely stunning venue and works so well for the flow of the event.

On the day of the wedding, our day of coordinator Jessica made everything absolutely seamless. I had zero stress the day of the wedding because The Old Rancho staff was so incredible and made sure everything went smoothly. We also got SO many compliments on the food - it was all amazing. I would highly highly recommend The Old Rancho for a wedding! Such a great value for what you get.

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Old Rancho in Carlsbad, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more! From the moment we toured the venue, we fell in love with its charming ambiance and lush greenery—so much so that we barely needed to add extra flowers. It was the perfect backdrop for our intimate gathering of close family and friends.

A special thank you to the venue sales manager, Ashley, who also served as our day-of coordinator. She was absolutely amazing and thought of our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Her attention to detail and genuine care made our day run smoothly and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment.

We went with Stations for food and there were many delicious options to choose from that everyone found something they loved. Our guests are still raving about the bartenders, who not only made fantastic drinks but also kept everyone entertained with their humor and warmth.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxed, and welcoming place to get married, The Old Rancho is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for the wonderful memories made here and highly recommend it to anyone planning a special event!

My husband and I only toured two wedding venues, and the first one was The Old Rancho. Honestly, we didn’t even need to see the second one - we just felt like it was too good to be true to fall in love with the first place we saw!
I highly recommend having your wedding at The Old Rancho. It’s as close to a full-service venue as you can get, which takes so much of the stress out of wedding planning. The pricing is also very reasonable. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is incredibly attentive, and the food was delicious (we went with the taco bar - though I barely ate because I was too busy having fun!).
Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting everything about the day. This place is truly a hidden gem.

My husband and I were so happy with everything PTD did. We were married at The Old Rancho in Carlsbad (a property they manage) and from the initial start they were easy to work with, the food and service were amazing, and Kaitlyn out Day of Coordinator was incredible. I can't thank them enough
