    Amazing wedding venue!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at the Heights Golf Club March, 2023. The venue was recommended to us by our wedding coordinators. We toured the venue with the Heights venue coordinator, Kristen. She was so helpful in answering all of our questions. We knew right away this was the venue for us. In comparison to other venues we had looked at , the Heights was affordable , it was beautiful, and encompassed everything we were looking for in a wedding venue. They even allowed us to bring our 2 dogs on site to be a part of our ceremony which was really important to us. From start to finish, Kristen was very easy to work, was very responsive in answering all our questions, and helped to bring our wedding day vision to life! The day of our wedding , we couldn't have asked for anything more from a wedding venue than what we got. The day was perfect, everyone loved the venue , and it was truly a pleasure to work with Kristen and the rest of our venue team. If we had to do it all over again, we would book with Kristen and the Heights 100x over. We would highly recommend them to any couple getting married in San Diego County.

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    Alicia!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your amazing experience with us. We are absolutely thrilled that you and Kyle had a wonderful wedding.

We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to the rest of our venue team. Your feedback will serve as a great motivation for them to continue delivering outstanding experiences to our future clients.

    We're also thrilled that we could accommodate your furry family members and make them a part of your ceremony. We understand how important it is to include all loved ones on such a momentous occasion.

    Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation. We truly appreciate your trust in us and would be honored to host any future events for you and your loved ones.

    Superb from beginning to End

    Everything about the Heights and their staff was EXCELLENT. It was the perfect venue and setting for our daughter's wedding. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection even though we had 110 guests. The Food and Beverage manager, Private Event Manager, Sommelier, Chef and Banquet Team bent over backwards, to ensure our guests were over-the-moon accommodated and happy. Our every request was handled with professionalism, courtesy and a sincere desire to ensure the day was magical.
    I wish I had another daughter, so we could;d book another wedding there!~

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    Thank you Mama Mac! I can't say enough kind things about you and your family! It was truly a joy to plan the Wedding with you both! Thank you for trusting us and allowing us to be a party of your daughter's big day!

    Beautiful venue, easy to work with, incredibly kind

    Kristen Dawson at the Heights helped make mine and my husband’s wedding so beautiful and special.

    Kristen met with us multiple times to go over the timing of the wedding, helped us pick out the food, tables, chairs, and even showed us samples of the table clothes, napkins, and place settings. She was so professional, had great suggestions, and was easy to work with.

    The ceremony was planned to be outside but right before I was to walk down the aisle it started to pour down rain. The ceremony was moved inside and honestly it was better than I could imagine. It was so intimate, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The food was delicious, I had multiple people come up and tell me how good it was.

    One of the most special things Kristen did was plan and provide a hair and makeup artist and a photographer to retake my wedding photos. My original photographer (who is NOT affiliated with the Heights) didn’t show up to the wedding after I met with her multiple times and paid her.

    Kristen reached out to me and my mom shortly after the wedding and said she would provide a photographer and hair/makeup artist so my husband and I could retake our photos. My mom and I cried when she offered this. It was so incredibly thoughtful. Kristen planned the entire photography situation. I didn’t do anything other than show up. I didn’t have to pay anything. I still can’t believe the level of kindness and thoughtfulness Kristen showed us by doing this.

    The photos turned out stunning, the wedding was beautiful, I can’t recommend Kristen and The Heights more.

    Thank you Kristen for making our wedding so special. We loved working with you!!!

    Wonderful Venue and Outstanding Staff

    My then Fiance, now Wife, selected The Heights Golf Club in Rancho Bernardo as her top pick for a wedding venue that met our budget needs, and was also an elegant location with outdoor ceremony area, and patio cocktail reception area, as well as beautiful banquet room with enough space for our 90'ish guests, a band, and a dance floor. The venue is simply beautiful, with outstanding views from all of those locations. I agreed with her pick as soon as we visited, and the event coordinator, Kristen Dawson, was extremely nice, helpful, and very skilled at helping us to decide upon and refine our plans. The food was very good at our tasting, and our steak and chicken entrees were perfectly cooked. At the wedding, and afterwards, our guests and we included raved about the quality of the food when served to 90ish guests and came out fresh, hot and delicious. The ceremony site is Beautiful, with fantastic views of manicured nature, and our photos afterwards by the pond and waterfall came out fantastic! We and our guests were very well taken care of by the Wonderful staff in both food, and beverages. We had plenty of room for our fantastic dance band, Toga Party Band, and our MC and lead singer Larry Cecio worked easily with The Height's Banquet Captain to coordinate our evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our wedding at the Beautiful Heights Golf Club, and we're sure you'll have the same experience here for your event! Thanks again to The Heights Golf Club and all of their Great Staff!

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    Dan & Leslie! You are so welcome! This was such a wonderful day. Our team couldn't stop talking about what a great couple you both were! We nicknamed you Happy Dan!! Congrats to you both and thank you for trusting us to host your special day!

    Stress Free Day, Amaze Guests Quality w/Food & Service

    I can't say enough about how this venue made my days so special. First, let me say the price was way better than other similar places, believe me, I checked them all. Their packages give you a variety of options to work for your size and budget. They eliminated the stress by providing the best service to my guests through each and every staff member. My guests consistently complimented the quality of the food and the service provided by the staff. Our dinner selections for a large group were cooked to perfection (tasted high-end restaurant, not a large banquet), I thought I was the only one that felt treated like royalty.
    I used all of their vendors and they all provided excellent communication. Tim (the DJ ) is excellent and helped make suggestions on how to make the day flow. He has a great selection of music personally selected after talking with us. He is amazing and always kept the dance floor fun and full. I could go on and on but let me not forget the bakery we got through the venue "Eccentric International". Amazing! We had a wedding cake as well as cupcakes and a dessert table. They were so good, my guests were taking them by the plateful. If you want your day to go smoothly, I can promise you will not be disappointed by putting your special day in the hands of The Heights. I wish I could do this day again because their great service actually allowed me to just enjoy the day...

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Tania & Ignacio! It was OUR pleasure to host your special day! It's couples like you that remind us why we love what we do! The Heights appreciates you!

    We had an amazing experience at Bernardo heights. All of the staff was so kind especially Ms Kristen, the event director she is so approachable, professional and she is very considerate even if we had our last minute changes prior to our wedding, she was still able to manage it. Thank you so much. -Henry & Mary Ann

    Memorable wedding

    The only reason why we picked this place was because of their venue director Kristen! She was extremely help and detailed from the very beginning, all the way to the day of the wedding! She made sure that are needs were met with the venue. With all her assistance we were able to have the most memorable experience and wedding. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about their amazing time they had, and the great food and drinks that the venue provided! The steak and salmon are a must! Thank you again Kristen for all you help!

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    It was absolutely our pleasure!! You could feel the love and energy all throughout your event! You two are meant to be! The calmest bride & groom I've worked with. Congrats!!

    Most beautiful place to celebrate wedding in San Diego

    It was a such a great experience working with BHCC , Kristen was so accommodating and caring about our wedding plan ! We took beautiful photos by the lawn, waterfall and golf fields.
    It was overall good all the way from planning to the last song of our wedding.
    BHCC team are professional, respectful and friendly to everyone. All the instructions, terms and conditions clearly communicated with us and there was no surprises later. They are fully equipped with all party stuff and works very well with any rental requests.

    Easy choice! The staff is so accommodating and the venue is beautiful

    Kristen, the event coordinator is one of the best we've ever worked with. She's genuine and hard working, super professional but very approachable and down to earth. Her character is reflected in her staff. Everyone was on top of it and friendly. There are many options for your ceremony and reception in terms of indoor, outdoor or both. They had wonderful recommendations in their package for bakeries and florists. There are multiple food and beverage packages and the pricing is very reasonable. Did I mention the food is fantastic! Our guests are still talking about how great it was to get a perfectly cooked, hot steak at a wedding! Our D.J. was part of our package and was also great to work with. So helpful and intuitive, he truly kept the party going. The wedding parties were able to get ready in the spacious locker rooms with plenty of privacy, full length mirrors and music. The heights is a beautiful venue with so many wonderful photo options. We're so glad we chose the Heights to tie the knot :) Really!

    Phenomenal experience!!

    My husband and I were really lucky to have found Bernardo Heights Country Club- it was everything I wanted in a venue; natural surrounding beauty with lots of greenery, beautiful and elegant reception area, and low cost compared to everywhere else! Big shout out to Kristen Dawson the Private Event Director as she made the whole process very understandable and walked us through every aspect of the wedding (perfect for people who have never gone through the process before like us!). The entire wedding happened perfectly and I was just so pleased with everything, a truly wonderful experience and it really goes to the Bernardo Heights and it’s staff and Kristen. Totally recommend 1000%!!

    Great Venue!

    We had our wedding in June of 2021. Our experience with Bernardo Height Country Club was amazing! The staff was very accommodating and flexible and answered our questions in a timely manner. We really appreciated the top level of service on the big day and how gracious each staff was with all our guests. Our guests are still saying to this day how amazing the food was from the hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour to the reception dinner. *chef’s kiss* Thank you Bernardo Heights for making our special day better than expected.

    Great venue

    The venue in May turned out to be wonderful, we gapped some nasty weather. The celebration area was beautifully laid out. Quality of the Heights equipment was good. The staff that worked the event, and food service were all wonderful. We brought in some of our own vendors over the Heights list because the quality of the relationship & communication with them. I would absolutely recommend The Heights as a venue, but say hire your own Wedding Coordinator. I’m a professional event planner, and getting some basic information & access to promised software was painful. We ended up stepping mostly out of the process, and having our coordinator deal with the venue because of frustration. 8.5/10

    The Heights Golf Club's reply:

    Hi Taylor & Melissa!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and for considering The Heights as a venue for your wedding. We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience overall and that the celebration area was beautifully laid out. We're also glad that the staff and food service exceeded your expectations.
    We appreciate your perspective as a professional event planner, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced in accessing the promised software.

    During the time of your wedding, our club was in the process of transitioning to an upgraded diagram system/platform. This transition resulted in a temporary gap in creating diagrams, which may have caused delays and frustrations. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and your coordinator.

    We constantly strive to improve our services, and your feedback will certainly help us address the areas where we fell short. We value your input and will take it into consideration to enhance our communication processes and ensure a more seamless experience for future clients.

    Once again, thank you for choosing The Heights as your wedding venue and for sharing your valuable insights. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for future events.

    Thank you,
    Kristen Dawson - Event Sales Director

    BHCC is a great value!

    BHCC was a great venue for our intimate wedding. My husband and I chose this place because we got a lot of bang for our buck compared to the other vendors we looked at in the area.

    Danielle was so sweet and responded to every last little question I could have ever asked with so much professionalism and patience. She accommodated us with a few rental items (free of charge) and altered our package price since we opted out of a few options. She did a fabulous job coordinating with outside vendors to make sure that our day went smoothly. She handled special requests with our bar package, food items, outside vendor requests, and more.

    The food was amazing for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Fernando knows what he's doing in the kitchen! We did the ruby buffet package with steak and salmon and got so much positive feedback from our guests.

    The only reason why we are giving four-stars is due to a few reasons: 1) The coordination was not given a priority during the day of our rehearsal. Our rehearsal was supposed to start at 5 pm the night before our wedding and we could not find Danielle. My MOH had to go hunt her down and she was in a meeting with other clients. Not a huge deal, but it was unnecessary stress that could have been avoided. 2) Additionally, we asked that the flowers from the arch be moved to the sweetheart table during the wedding reception. Our photographer ended up doing this task instead because Danielle put the step-stool out, but did not follow-through. Again, not a huge deal, but I felt bad for my photographer.

    Obviously, those are small issues compared to the grand scheme. I do not want to focus on the negatives because ultimately, we had a lovely wedding and we really do appreciate all of the help that we got from BHCC in pulling it off. Definitely would recommend! The staff is professional, the chef knows what he's doing, and Danielle is a pro.

    Highs and very low lows

    My now husband and I were married at this event space March 2019. We decided that the Diamond package was the best bang for our buck with a possibility of 130 guests as it included a nice cocktail hour, the most food options, the cake, and premium linens. Our experience with the club had its highs and lows. The best way to describe our experience is with a pros and cons list:

    Pros-

    -As the bride, the day of our wedding was just beautiful. All landscaping looks amazing in our photos!

    -Everyone enjoyed the food! From the appetizers at the cocktail hour to the main dish. We offered steak, salmon, or risotto for the main dish. The food was served hot and as far as I knew everyone got what they had asked for. My gluten free guests even loved their salmon. One said she could have drank the sauce that came on the side! (Thank you Chef Fernando!)

    -Our signature cocktails were delicious (and potent)!

    -we were permitted to be in the locker room from 9AM until our event was over which was a huge plus! All hair and makeup was done at the venue.

    -waitstaff was very pleasant!

    Cons (without going into too much detail)-

    -In the process of our 10+ month journey with BHCC we quickly learned to document everything and keep record of all conversations. We were told that the dumpster area would be covered and even offered to buy something to cover it ourselves on multiple occasions. Thank fully we did because what was provided was shorter than me and went about half way across the dumpster area.

    -the bar ran out of beer by the last hour of the evening

    -Accounting: we were lucky enough that my parents paid for the down payment. In order for us to pay the rest we asked to make monthly payments. Therefore there were a few cards on file however, we specified in each email to our coordinator which card to charge and the amount. There were at least 5 major accounting errors to which the reply was, “well we don’t usually do monthly payments” or “sorry, the accounting system is old”. The biggest mistake made was that we were due a LARGE credit once all was completed and we did not receive the credit until 3 weeks later and several emails. So unnecessary.

    -wedding coordination: A wedding coordinator was included when choosing the venue. Unfortunately, we were left feeling that this is not the correct position for BHCCs current event coordinator. Though mostly polite, she was passive aggressive with any criticism, sometimes condescending in detailed discussions with my husband and mother, and did not seem to handle pressure well.

    Unfortunately, I cannot fully recommend BHCC for your event! My recommendation to them is to hold on tight to their Chef, landscaper, and waitstaff. I also recommend that if there is even a shadow of a doubt that something can be done for an event they should be more straightforward and say, no, instead of making promises they can’t keep.
