We had the most beautiful wedding of all time at Rancho Guejito!! My husband and I had a long list of needs: outdoors, able to have a live band, large guest count, and gorgeous setting-- Rancho Guejito was the only venue that ticked all of those boxes and we are so lucky it did! Nicole and her team were amazing at helping our vision come to life, answering all of our many questions with patience and intelligence. We made use of the full property and were able to give our guests the most unique experience. Guests raved about the location, the wine, and everything that went with the experience. Thank you for helping us have the best wedding ever!

We are so happy we chose Rancho Guejito for our wedding venue! It was so fun to be able to customize our wedding exactly how we wanted (there was no required list of vendors we needed to use), and of course the venue itself is beautiful with the mountains and vineyards. The space was able to easily handle a 200+ person wedding while still making it feel intimate yet not overcrowded. Nicole, the venue manager, was so professional throughout the entire process and was quick to respond to emails. She made the whole process feel easy and we really enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend Rancho Guejito.

We were married at Rancho Guejito on 09/23/2023 and had the most amazing time; it was the perfect venue for our special day! It was the first venue we toured and we immediately fell in love with the property and the amazing views. Nicole was prompt with communication during our year of planning and kept us in the loop regarding venue details leading up to our big day - she's incredible! If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue with great views and a customizable layout, Rancho Guejito is the perfect choice!

Our Rancho Guejito wedding was absolutely the wedding of our dreams! Not only is the venue stunning (obviously), but we appreciated all the ways we could bring our own personality into the space. We cannot say enough good things about the team that works here! Nicole and her staff are amazing - they made us feel supported, loved, and so special from our first tour to now. I would give Rancho Guejito 10 stars if I could!

First of all, Nicole the wedding venue manager is the absolute best!!! She makes the wedding planning process so easy by offering a list of preferred vendors, answers all your questions and emails almost instantly, and makes you feel like you’re family. My husband and I fell in love with rancho guejito the second we pulled up in our car. We had seen this venue on countless “suggested” venues in San Diego, but had never been to the actual winery/location. You feel like you’re tucked away in the countryside with all of these beautiful views surrounding you. We loved being able to do our cocktail area in one area, and have our guests venture over to a different location on the site for the reception. I can’t even count how many guests commented on how beautiful the location was. We got married at the end of July when it was pretty hot and humid, but we were having so much fun it didn’t matter!! You HAVE to just go and visit to see for yourself how you feel being at this spot, and you’ll just *know* it’s the perfect place to celebrate your big day.♥️

Rancho Guejito was amazing!!! Not only is the venue beautiful and picturesque, but the staff is absolutely top notch. Nicole, the venue manager, is one of the most organized and helpful people I've ever met. She provided us with answers to all of our questions, recommendations on other vendors (all of whom we loved), and support throughout the entire planning process. Very happy to have had our reception here!

I had my dream wedding at Rancho Guejito! Nicole, the venue manager makes you feel so special and welcome throughout the months of planning. Their communication is fast and helpful. The venue is heaven on earth and I had the best day ever. It was nice to be able to bring in all of our own vendors and also chose from a top tier list provided by Nicole. They provide tables and chairs and can rent out many other things that you may need. The wine is top tier, there was no need to serve any other kind of alcohol. I love the view from the Ceremony lawn. And walking to the reception lawn is quick and gorgeous. You really feel like you get the destination wedding vibe without going too far. I am so sad that this day is over, I cannot wait to visit RG again!

Overall I would recommend this venue to anyone. It was one of the very few venues in San Diego, CA within our budget and we feel that we got our money's worth. My husband and I really enjoyed the outdoor venue and the scenery with the mountains and vineyards. We picked the hottest day of the year to get married it seemed like so try to stay aware from the summer/early fall months since there is limited shade. Unfortunately, since it was so hot outside even the bridal room was warm and at times my wedding party and myself were uncomfortable in the room getting ready for the ceremony. I do have to say the wine is very good though! We had a lovely wine tasting and selected wines to be available during the wedding and it was really nice to have that option. The communication between Nicole and myself was very good as well. I would have very specific questions/concerns and she would always get back to me quickly and I appreciated this a ton. The only downside to this venue was they did not have an ice machine so we were responsible for bringing ice for the entire guest list. Costco ended up being the best deal, however, supplying ice for your wedding is not something that is super fun to stress about close to your wedding day. My favorite things about this venue and our wedding was the natural scenery provided so much greenery and a beautiful backdrop that we did not need to spend extra money on decorations/flowers. We had very minimal flowers and decorations, but you could not notice the difference since the vineyard was so beautiful. Helped us save money too! If you are looking for a venue that won't break your bank account yet still have the photos and experience of your dreams you should book with Rancho Guejito!

From the start Nicole and her team were absolutely amazing, we originally lost our first venue just a few months before the wedding and luckily Rancho Guejito had availability for our specific date. It was great because we had already organised all of our own vendors and we needed to find a place where we could bring in everything we had organised and paid deposits for. The venue is amazing, the bridal suite where we got ready was beautiful with backlit mirrors, couches, and even a little kitchenette… There were multiple areas that we could choose to have the reception and the ceremony, which made it so much more special.One of my prerequisites was that the place look magical ie. Have a lot of fairy lights and Rancho Guejito surely does have that in all of the areas, even including the little archways walking from the ceremony/cocktail hour area to the reception area through the vineyard. Very magical.It was really great as well because we had a large number of guests, and therefore had to be able to have the space and enough tables and chairs to allow for comfort. Being that our wedding was in November, it was a little bit chilly, and thankfully they had a lot of heaters.Also, another amazing thing is that there are multiple areas where you can go and do first look and or private vows and get some really amazing photographs. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone that is considering using it.

If there is such a thing as a perfect day, it was our wedding day at this beautiful vineyard. <3 Jonathan, Melissa, and the rest of the team were more than accommodating--responding quickly to our questions as well as ensuring that our special day went smoothly. We always envisioned having an outdoor wedding and this venue had it all AND more! You are surrounded by gorgeous greenery and beautiful mountains. The north lawn was perfect for our ceremony and the south lawn was a dream for our reception of 141 guests. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking. So many amazing views that it would be impossible to take a \"bad\" photo anywhere!! More than anything, Jonathan and his team are some of the nicest people in the biz. It really meant a lot for us to be able to trust our vendors, and I can honestly say that we did wholeheartedly. Thank you Rancho Guejito for making our wedding a dream come true! <3

We heard about this place from a friend/ wedding coordinator. Being wine lovers who love exploring escondido wines we were super interested. My fiance called and spoke with Irena and made an appt for us to tour the place. After that phone call he had a great feeling about Rancho Guejito and knew it would be the one. So we went on a Sunday and Irena took us around and answered all of our questions. It was raining and foggy but the venue still looked gorgeous! We spent hours there tasting the wine and talking with the girls who work there. We felt that this venue had everything we had been searching for! It's a beautiful, green setting which is what I wanted and they are flexible with vendors so we can really customize our wedding exactly how we want. And the wine is pretty great too. We booked it that next week and are so excited to get into the next phase of planning! Thank you Irena and staff for helping us find our perfect place and I can't wait till March 2020!!!
