Forever Grateful - 10/10 - Perfection
If you're looking for the most unique and photogenic venue, look no further. If you are looking for the best caterer in San Diego, you've found them. Personal Touch Dining and Leo Carrillo Ranch are truly the perfect match. The packages they offer make wedding planning so easy and so much fun. The food.. can we talk about the food?? Everyone LOVED all of the food from the chef's market table, to the tray passed hors d'oeuvres, to the seated salad, entrees, churro station, donuts, and cake! We are total foodies and we knew the food would be so important to us, Personal Touch Dining blew us away with all of their amazing options to choose from.
The Leo Carrillo and Personal Touch Dining team are truly the best. They treat you like family, care about every detail, and go above and beyond to make sure all your dreams come true. Special thank you to Samantha, throughout the year of planning she answered all of my questions and gave great ideas and input! She showed up on the big day just to make sure everything went smoothly, which I was so appreciative of. Our day of coordinator, Josie, was so kind to our huge bridal party and had us on schedule throughout the day. Our chefs, Caden and Ryan perfected every meal that went out. Our bartenders, Daniel and Jesse made our drinks perfectly and the guests loved it! And all the staff and servers working that night.. the whole team killed it and we will be forever grateful.
I can not recommend this venue and the team that manages it enough. It truly was the most beautiful, magical, perfect day. Leo Carrillo Ranch is a whimsical dream and Personal Touch Dining elevated it to a whole other level.If you're looking for the most unique and photogenic venue, look no further.

Highly recommend
We were exceedingly happy with this venue and their team for our fall 2024 wedding. The team was helpful in guiding us through the planning process, keeping us on track with menu, details and logistics. Hannah was very responsive and communicative leading up to the wedding, which helped alleviate stress. Kylie, our day-of coordinator was amazing and everything went perfectly.

Loved our venue
If you are looking for a one-stop shop, Leo Carrillo is the place for you. They did so much (catering, rentals, staff, etc). and took away a lot of the stress that can come with wedding planning. The staff was incredible and the venue itself is so pretty you barely need decor. I have no negative things to say about this place.If you are looking for a one-stop shop, Leo Carrillo is the place for you.

Dream venue!!
Having our wedding at Leo Carrillo was an absolute dream. Everything about our wedding day was so perfect. I can't get over how stress free the whole experience was because personal touch dining and Leo Carrillo take care of everything. Our day of coordinator Kylee was so amazing. I felt so at ease and relaxed knowing we had her. She made sure everything ran smoothly, answered all of our questions and made sure we felt prepared going into our big day. From the moment we reached out the venue and first spoke with Samantha we knew we needed to have our wedding at the ranch. We have received so many compliments about the food, drinks, and staff. Everything about our wedding day was perfect. Look no further, because this place truly is special!Having our wedding at Leo Carrillo was an absolute dream.

The hunt is over !
Leo Carrillo was my dream wedding venue! Not only is the location beautiful all on its own, the staff was amazing! Samantha helped us plan a perfect day with ease and was so easy to communicate with. We did the tacos and churros and our guests are still raving about it! Day of, Derek stepped up and coordinated the day and I think it was such a gift! His personality matched perfectly with our group and he was able to run things so well while still making us all laugh and feel comfortable!

Stunning Historic Southern California Venue
Leo Carrillo Ranch was our absolute dream venue for our wedding reception following our church ceremony. We knew immediately when we stepped on the grounds for the initial tour that this was our place! The historic charm, stunning scenery, and ambiance of the venue totally won us over. The grounds are so beautiful and lush that we did not need to provide much in the way of decor. The gorgeousness of this property speaks for itself! Our guests took advantage of the many photo ops on this beautiful property, from the bougainvillea archway, to the poolside cabana, to the peacock sightings! We loved dining and dancing outdoors under the beautiful trees and twinkle lights, and had perfect weather for our July wedding. Samantha was such a pleasure to work with, and made our experience so pleasant through her responsive communication, organization and attention to detail, and friendly, warm demeanor. Hannah, our event producer, and Kylee, our day-of venue coordinator were also wonderful! We had an absolute blast at our food tasting event several months before our big day, and were blown away by how incredible the food was! We also received so many rave reviews from our guests about the food at our reception. The Personal Touch Dining team made the whole planning process so simple and effortless for us with their all-inclusive package, which covered just about every detail. This was such a dream for me, a bride who really did not know much about the event planning world prior to getting engaged. Our night was unforgettable and we highly recommend this special venue!Leo Carrillo Ranch was our absolute dream venue for our wedding reception following our church ceremony.

Hi Melina! We’re so honored that Leo Carrillo Ranch could be part of your dream wedding reception! From the moment you stepped onto the grounds, it sounds like our beautiful venue really spoke to you, and we love that the charm and scenery were everything you hoped for. It’s great to hear your guests enjoyed all the unique photo spots—especially those iconic peacock sightings!

Most Memorable Day
Leo Carrillo Ranch with Personal Touch Dining exceeded our expectations. Our initial guest list for our wedding celebration was 250 guests. Our sales manager, Samantha, did an excellent job at handling all our questions, requests, and providing clear expectations with a guest list that large. The convenience of a one-stop shop and working with a well established company like Personal Touch Dining made the process of shopping for vendors incredibly smooth. Along with our sales manger was the wonderful team for the event producer, Hannah, and our day of coordinator, Stephanie. Our guests enjoyed all the food—so much so, that I hear guests still talking about it and it's been almost 6 months. The team brought together an already beautiful area and turned it into a unique and wonderful venue. From beginning to end, everything was stress-free, and we got to enjoy our wedding. At my wedding I wanted to drink, dance, and eat cake with the people I love, and Personal Touch Dining made sure I did just that. I can't recommend them enough.Leo Carrillo Ranch with Personal Touch Dining exceeded our expectations. Our initial guest list for our wedding celebration was 250 guests.

Wedding Of Our Dreams
Leo Carrillo Ranch was the wedding venue of our dreams. Samantha C. our wedding coordinator was so lovely to work with through out the whole year and a half process of us planning our wedding. She was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Personal Touch Dinning was the caterer and the food was superb and beyond our expectations. Our guests gave the greatest compliments on our food and that was the most important aspect to us when planning our wedding. Our day of wedding coordinator Sam was amazing as well, she really helped organize our whole day and made everything run so smoothly.

The most dreamy wedding day at Leo Carrillo!
Leo Carrillo Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding day. If you are looking for natural, California-beauty, this is the venue for you! The grounds are absolutely stunning - from the blooming landscaping to the historic buildings, there are so many different photo op nooks that our guests loved exploring! The "flow" from ceremony under the pepper tree to the reception area down underneath the market lights was perfection. Our guests raved about the bar staff and loved having yard games (provided by the venue) at the cocktail hour. But the real winner of the evening was the food! We have received countless compliments about the catering provided by Personal Touch Dining. We had the mac and cheese, the strawberry arugula salad, and the tri-tip carving station all of which were phenomenal! From our first tour to the day of, Samantha and Hannah with Personal Touch Dining (the caterer and venue coordinator) were wonderful. They answered all of my (many) questions quickly and had wonderful suggestions when I was stuck during the planning process. Our day of coordinator, Jessica, was also fantastic! She ensured everything ran smoothly the day of, set up all of our decor, and juggled all of the things that I am sure was transpiring in the background! As far as I am aware, everything went off without a hitch! I cannot recommend this venue and the Personal Touch Dining team enough, you will have the most magical day if you decide to book with them!Leo Carrillo Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding day.

Plumb Wedding on 5/10/2024
Having our wedding at Leo Carrillo (on May 10th, 2024) was magical.... and a big portion has to do with the staff. Since our initial inquiry of the venue, they have been so courteous, professional, and quick to answer any questions.
What's amazing about this venue / company is that it is full one stop shop. Everything from venue cost, catering, insurance, security... is all included. The only thing we had to book was our photographer, DJ, and florist (which they already have a list for these preferred vendors).
They have a lot of wedding packages that you can curate to make it your day!
Usually they say 3 things go wrong, but our day was flawless due the experience and professional of the staff.
One thing that we really enjoyed was when Leo Carrillo hosted us (and about 60 other couples) in San Diego where we could try most of the various appetizers, dinners, late night snack, and dessert options... even their specialty cocktails, wine, and beer. We got to talk to other engaged couples for wedding ideas and getting all your questions asked by the staff.
We have only heard amazing feedback on how beautiful the venue was (even had some peacocks cruising through) and how tasty our food was (get the tri tip!).
Extra cheers to Samantha to making it an amazing day.

Leo Carrillo Wedding
Our wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch was literally simply MAGICAL. The PersonalTouch Dining staff is incredible. From the very start of the site visit inquiry all the way through to the grand exit on our wedding day, every single detail was covered by the team with attention and care. Emails and texts were responded to immediately. Samantha and our day of coordinator, Josie, were just phenomenal. True professionals and made my husband, me and our guests feel at ease and no worries at all. Two weeks afterwards, our guests are still raving about the venue and the food. Side note: the only complaint we had from a friend was he wished the short rib wasn't so good and that he didn't get another helping because he was so happily full that he couldn't dance as much as he wanted to. If that's the only con to the night, I'll take it! Thank you so much PersonalTouch team, you ladies are top notch!
All our gratitude,
Alisa & MarioOur wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch was literally simply MAGICAL. The PersonalTouch Dining staff is incredible. From the very start of the site visit inquiry all the way through to the grand exit on our wedding day, every single detail was covered by the team with attention and care. Emails and texts were responded to immediately. Samantha and our day of coordinator, Josie, were just phenomenal. True professionals and made my husband, me and our guests feel at ease and no worries at all. Two weeks afterwards, our guests are still raving about the venue and the food. Side note: the only complaint we had from a friend was he wished the short rib wasn't so good and that he didn't get another helping because he was so happily full that he couldn't dance as much as he wanted to. If that's the only con to the night, I'll take it! Thank you so much PersonalTouch team, you ladies are top notch!
All our gratitude,

Absolutely In Love With Our Wedding Venue!
We had the most amazing experience having our wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch! We looked at 8+ wedding venues around the San Diego area and we fell in love with Leo Carrillo Ranch as soon as we set foot on the property. As the majority of our wedding guests would be visiting from the east coast, our goal was to have a wedding that felt very “southern California” and reflect the beauty of the area - and Leo Carrillo could not have been more perfect! The natural beauty of this venue is truly out of this world. We absolutely loved the look of the historic hacienda and the plants and cacti around the property make it so special! And the peacocks are so unique and fun! Besides how much we loved the venue, working with the Leo Carrillo / Personal Touch Dining staff was absolutely incredible. We originally booked our contract with a staff member that was no longer with the company as we got closer to the wedding date, and we were a bit nervous when there was the transition to the new employees as we had not met them yet. But Samantha and Vicki absolutely blew us away! They were both absolute joys to work with and they were so insanely great at communicating with us throughout the entire process. As I was a very anxious bride, they dealt with my many (MANY!) questions and always responded with such kindness and reassurance. Due to their communication, the wedding planning process felt so much easier. The entire team was so accommodating and even made edits to the food menu when requested and helped recommend how many ingredients we would need for our custom signature cocktail recipe. All of our guests gave such great feedback about the food and drinks!!! We really just felt like we were in such good hands and we were so well taken care of throughout the process. And now for our day-of-coordinator - we met Sam the day before the wedding at our rehearsal and we were absolutely blown away! She was incredibly kind, comforting, and knowledgeable and she really helped put me at ease when I was so nervous. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond and we were treated like royalty - she always made sure we had fresh drinks in our hand and she had dinner plates made up for us! She also kept us on track with the schedule and she even did things that we were not expecting at all, like helping with the decor and centerpieces. She was such a dream to work with and I felt so grateful for her the entire day! These pictures don’t do the venue enough justice but just go visit and see for yourself if you are looking for a wedding venue! We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Leo Carrillo Ranch and Personal Touch Dining - thank you SO much Sam, Samantha, and Vicki, we are forever grateful!We had the most amazing experience having our wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch!

The outdoor wedding venue at Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch in Carlsbad, CA, was absolutely stunning!
Wedding date: Sunday, July 2, 2023 (2 PM-8PM)
Mary and I waited over 10 years to get married and we wanted our wedding day to be very special and unforgettable. Our expectations were exceeded!!!
The outdoor wedding venue at Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch in Carlsbad, CA, was absolutely stunning! The all-in-one venue was unique in that the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in different locations at the ranch, which made it unique – all outdoor and naturally beautiful with plenty of shade!
This venue was managed by Personal Touch Dining, Inc., of San Diego, CA. EVERYTHING was perfect! The food was amazing and plentiful, the middle-tier bar package we selected did not disappoint, and the wedding cake made by the bakery included in the package was special. Additionally, we selected the DJ and florist from their preferred vendors list and we couldn’t be happier with their services!
We looked at 13 venues in various locations and chose Leo Carrillo Ranch due to the location (destination wedding for many of our Northern California guests), beautiful outdoor setting in a rustic ranch setting that is well maintained (peacocks on the grounds a nice plus), convenient all-in-one package offered by Personal Touch Dining, and surprisingly lower cost than other venues.
All of our 125 guests had a blast including the children under 10 years of age! The venue had a grass area next to the bar with games for our guests to play and socialize... good times.
Special recognition and thanks to the following individuals who made our wedding very special and that I highly recommend for their expertise, professionalism, and superior customer service:
• Samantha Contreras – Personal Touch Dining, Sales Manager & Initial/Primary Contact (San Diego)
• Samantha “Sam” Lopez – Personal Touch Dining, Day-of-Venue Coordinator (San Diego)
• Manny De Leon – Sound Illusion, DJ/Owner (San Diego)
• Michael Asmar – Joie de Vivre Photographie, Owner/Photographer (Santa Clarita/Valencia)
• Lauren Sandoval & Amber Mila de la Roca – Flour Power Cakery, Wedding Coordination Team (El Cajon)
• Rose – Tessfresh and Tessilk Flowers, Wedding Coordinator/Office Manager (San Diego)
• Others – Personal Touch Dining, Recognition to all the individuals who were responsible for the venue setup, tending bar, buffet station, and waiting our tables…I’m sorry I didn’t catch your names, but you were as important as the others on this list
Thank you, all, for making our wedding a perfect day filled with unforgettable moments! We truly appreciate you!!!
Cheers,
Gabe & Mary

Wedding of our dreams!
Leo Carrillo really went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams! We only toured this venue (we had 3 locations on our minds) and knew the second we saw it that it was the spot for our big day! It is BEYOND beautiful (the roaming peacocks are a pretty cool perk and a crowd pleaser)!
The process was so easy from start to finish. Wedding planning can be EXTREMELY stressful, but Leo Carrillo made it such a relaxing and fun experience! They were on top of communicating, and answering my many questions throughout the planning process. Everyone that we worked with was so sweet and receptive!
Fast forward to our wedding day...it was an absolute DREAM! The setting was gorgeous and our day of coordinator Stephanie was the BEST! Everything went off without a hitch, and Stephanie was to thank for that! We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue, food (Taco Bar Package - many guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had), and service that Leo Carrillo/ Personal Touch Dining provided!
I would recommend this location to any and all brides who want a relaxing planning process and a magical wedding day!
Thanks again for making it a day we will NEVER forget!Leo Carrillo really went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams!

There are no words (but actually words below)
A truly magical and special place! My husband and I got married here this year and had a smaller wedding with around 65 people, mostly from out of town and abroad. We wanted to have our wedding somewhere we could visit again on anniversaries and that truly captured southern California history and vibes. With the old Spanish-style hacienda and absolutely gorgeous landscaping, we couldn't have found a more intimate and inspiring venue (and a big plus is you don't have to spend much on flowers or decorations because the venue itself is so beautiful!). Beyond the venue, the Personal Touch Dining staff were excellent. We wanted something all-inclusive so we didn't have to stress too much and could just enjoy the day and let me tell you, they went above and beyond in so many ways. Such kind and helpful people, you'd think we were the only people getting married there. They kept us on track with planning and were so supportive leading up to the event. The tasting event was so fun (although I wish they had more vegetarian options to try) and the rehearsal was lighthearted and got me really excited for the wedding! Those last few weeks before a wedding can be an overload of last-minute logistic planning and decoration organizing (I leave things to the last minute), but the rehearsal put it all into perspective and grounded us in the real reason we were doing all this....to have a sacred marriage ceremony and a bitchin' party with all our loved ones! AND THEN THE DAY OF! WOW. I was speechless. The care and attention the day-of coordinator, Stephanie, put into setting up our decorations, keeping the schedule going, and just bringing good vibes and fun to every interaction. We could not have been more lucky and blessed. I was a pretty nervous bride who struggles being the center of attention, but Stephanie kept us grounded with her smile and encouragement. It made me so happy to see all the day-of staff having fun too! Overall, I cannot express how grateful we are to Personal Touch Dining for our experience. Most of our guests said it was the most incredible wedding they'd been to and my husband and I will cherish the day forever, so thank you.A truly magical and special place!

Amazing venue!
We could not have asked for a better venue or services. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more. We didn't have a worry, concern or need to lift a finger as everything was done for us and very done well. We just had to enjoy the celebration and we did! The meal was one of the best I've ever had and our guests are STILL raving about it! Personal Touch Dining was extremely helpful with recommendations, communication once the contract was signed and the entire planning process. The only thing I will warn you about are the costs. They advertise the venue as being "all-inclusive" but please be aware that the term only includes the meal, service and venue. It does not include extra fees, gratuities, outside vendors or upgrades. That is ALL extra cost on top of the already pricy venue. If money is tight, I would not suggest this venue, but if you have money to spare and to go all out, then I HIGHLY recommend it. My groom and I were blindsided at the beginning not knowing that there was quite a lot of extra costs outside of what they were indicating as "all-inclusive." I'm just saying, be mindful and get all the information up front. Ask lots of questions because there are A LOT of hidden costs that you may not expect.We could not have asked for a better venue or services. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more.

Magical Wedding Day at Leo Carrillo Ranch
Leo Carrillo was the only venue we visited where we both immediately had “the feeling” it was the one. There was something so special about the classic California vibes nestled into the most quaint and beautiful beach town. The majority of our guests were attending from out of town, and we were so happy to be able to offer them the feeling of a true destination wedding right in Southern California. We loved that LCR offered a full service experience, including catering, bar services, day of coordination and most of the necessary decor in their base package. From the very beginning, communication was quick and easy, with prompt responses and thorough communication with all of our vendors. Samantha and her team put us at ease leading up to the wedding and most importantly, on the big day. They executed our vision well and were able to supplement our decor with many complimentary touches. While numerous upgrades are available, the space is so gorgeous on its own we didn’t even need them. Shoutout to our day of coordinators, Sam and Stephanie, who seamlessly corralled our large wedding party and kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed or taking us away from feeling present on our big day. We are still receiving compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of this venue, and will never forget the magic of Leo Carrillo Ranch!

Perfectioin!
Everything about this venue is AMAZING!! From the friendly and attentive staff to the venue itself we could not have asked for a better experience! My husband and I got married here in September 2022. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. The staff added all of our details exactly how we wanted them and we did not have to take part in any of the set-up, they did everything! Everyone talked about how our food was so good and the drinks were great too! Samantha Contrereas and Sam Lopez were over the top perfection! They were both so professional and lovely to work with! Thanks again ladies and to the wonderful staff who made our wedding the best ever!Everything about this venue is AMAZING!!

Smooth Sailing!
Working with Leo Carrillo Ranch and Personal Touch Dining was amazing! I wanted our wedding day to be easy and worry-free, and thanks to the team at LCR and PTD our venue and coordination was a breeze! We only had to get our decorations together. They were flexible with most vendors if you have someone you preferred to use, other were required (which was super helpful since we were at a total loss for a DJ)! Sam was amazing, she would swoop in to let us know what was next on the schedule without feeling like she was hovering or interrupting. I highly recommend going with this team for your wedding day. It took so much stress off our plate to not worry about so many small details.Working with Leo Carrillo Ranch and Personal Touch Dining was amazing!

Just Magical
Leo Carrillo is just the best. It’s such a charming venue -I love the Spanish vibes- and the outdoor location was ideal for what were were looking for.
We had the most magical wedding day. Sam and Vicki at Personal Touch were super helpful in general and worked with me to navigate some particulars around family dynamics which was so much appreciated. The food was excellent and we were complimented by even the pickiest of guests :) and to top it off there are peacocks that roam around to make it just the most beautiful place.Leo Carrillo is just the best.
