    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.

    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%

    Rancho Bernardo Inn's reply:

    Thank you, Carla! It was such a pleasure working with you on your special day. We look forward to having you back!

    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!!!

    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.

    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 :)

    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 chose the RB Inn because of the beautiful venue choices. Our son & daughter-in-law's wedding was small, but we were treated as though it were the biggest event of the season. Our venue coordinator, Carly Henkel was absolutely wonderful. Everyone we encountered throughout the process was extremely professional, pleasant and helpful. We found the Inn personnel very flexible with our requests and felt they genuinely wanted to make the wedding a very special day. Kudos all around to everyone from the valet parking staff to the food service staff, the bartender, and the folks at Inn Florals who provided the arch for the ceremony. I don't see how it could have gone more smoothly.

    Rancho Bernardo Inn was the perfect place to have my daughter's Alice in Wonderland wedding. The hedged garden with all of the blooming white roses and the hanging lanterns was absolutely incredible. Carly, our wedding coordinator from Rancho Bernardo Inn, was so easy to work with. She always responded quickly with all of my questions and concerns. She worked hard to make everything work out just right for Courtney's special day. Thank you so much Rancho Bernardo Inn for giving my precious daughter the wedding day of her dreams.

    Everything about the RBI exudes understated elegance, superb quality, and top notch service. You get 5 star treatment from beginning to end. The Event Coordinators know their job inside & out & are invaluable resources. Jackie Young & Rina Giglio made sure our wedding was carried out to perfection.

    When my husband proposed, the only place I dreamed of getting married was at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. We didn't even consider any other venues.
    We had a true "fairy tale" wedding.

    Thank you RBI ! K+M

    The Rancho Bernardo Inn was a wonderful place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. We were so pleased with the staff and the venue is absolutely beautiful. We had our reception in the Bernardo Ballroom, a really neat room with a rustic, romantic feel. If you are looking for a venue in San Diego, you really need to check out the RB Inn. Gloria Thorpe was our wedding coordinator and she did such an amazing job. Rick Mellon was our banquet manager and he also did an amazing job, we didn't have to worry about a thing throughout the whole reception and everything looked so great! I am so impressed with everything that took place for our wedding, I would not have changed a thing. LOVE THE RB INN!! We plan to go back and visit often to get dinners just so we can try and re-live it all.

    Driving to the RB Inn can be discriminating. It is in the midst of a suburban quaint old neighborhood. Upon getting to the RB Inn, it is very rustic yet whimsical. I knew that I had to have my wedding here, especially at the Aragon Ballroom! It is gorgeous and well worth your money. Not only did we reserve for the entire ballroom for our 300 guests, we also had the whole foyer and outside patio with the lush garden full of white roses. Our guests were amazed and astounded at the beauty. I'm not going to lie, it was expensive; It was about 60% of our wedding budget... But they take care of you, particularly our catering manager, Gloria Thorpe. We owe her an arm and a leg for taking such good care of us. Additionally, people are still taking about how great the food was - we opted for the buffet choice because of our finicky eaters and we had the salmon, chicken, and a carving station of tenderloin. It also featured 4 other salads and soup. Yummy! Last minute we x'ed our original cake design and took a chance on having their pastry chef who recently started doing wedding cakes and it was fabulous! Everyone was asking where we ordered our cake from. We also rented out 3 golf carts to transport our guests from the parking lot to the Aragon ballroom and the staff was very professional and our guests loved it. There are so many wonderful elements that the RB Inn has to offer. We received a free suite the night of our wedding which I have to admit was a bit of a disappointment considering how much we invested and it ended up not even being a suite. But overall we love the RB Inn. We also had a complimentary brunch at El Bizcocho which is one of the best breakfast buffets I have had in San Diego. This place is a hidden gem. And I loved every aspect particularly customer service! I left my makeup bag the night of the wedding at the ballroom which had my cell phone, eye glasses, jewelry, perfume, etc. and fortunately a staff member turned it in and they held onto it for over a week while I was on my honeymoon. Every time we come in, we are greeted warmly. Great for adults and kids alike. The pool has some cute cabanas. The golf course looks fun, if I played golf. And this resort takes you away from the feel of being in suburban Rancho Bernardo!

    I couldn't say enough about Heather Blythe and all her help as a wedding coordinator there at the RB Inn. She was very organized and professional and really helped to make sure that our day went smooth. I definitely recommend this venue for weddings. The food we had was beyond what we could have imagined, not to mention the great views!

    Beautiful hotel

    My wife and I chose this hotel for our wedding weekend. We spent two nights in one of the Estate Suites and could not have been happier with our choice. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept. We arrived early (around 12:30 pm) but our suite was already ready for us when we decided to check in. The suite itself was massive and gorgeous. Everything from the bed to the bathroom was super clean and tidy. The Estate Suite has an adjoining living room with a couch and separate TV in case you plan to have some guests over—it was excessive for our needs but oh well, it was still nice to have! Overall, really happy with the service and experience here. It's pricey, but we'd gladly stay here again.

    We also had our rehearsal dinner in the hotel restaurant, Avant, and were blown away by the friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend giving it a try if you stay here.

    Lastly, they pump a perfume into the lobby that smells SO GOOD. Such a small detail, but it made entering and exiting the hotel a really pleasant experience.

    RBI is a lovely resort. We had our wedding on the Aragon Lawn and reception in the Aragon Ballroom. This area is new and beautiful. Since we had our wedding on a Sunday, they were quite flexible with the prices. The customer service during the rehearsal dinner and on the big day were exceptional.
