My husband and I had our wedding at Willow Creek Ranch, and we were totally impressed with our…read moreexperience here and working with Bethany. There are simply not enough amazing things we could say about working with Bethany. Bethany had great communication and since the beginning she had quick responses to our questions which made planning our wedding very efficient. She has a lot of experience in the wedding industry and would ask us questions about things we didn't even consider. She was EXTREMELY accommodating - my husband and I are both healthcare workers who occasionally work Saturdays with changing schedules throughout the week - this never was an issue when it came to planning our wedding. The location is extremely beautiful from the daytime to sunset and even to night time with all the lights and chandeliers. There are honestly SO many locations to take beautiful photos in and this was a big factor as we wanted a variety of places for backdrop - there's a lavender field, a bridge overlooking a small pond area, and a place with a sing - this is not including the picturesque house covered in vines and the ceremony site. Additionally, all the decor in the photos below were included (even the furniture, florals, and table settings). We chose the package that included florals and Bethany (who is also a florist) went ABOVE and BEYOND with the floral arrangements and bouquets, literally making my Pinterest autumn wedding dreams come true. The day of the wedding went as smoothly as weddings can possibly go and despite it being the craziest day, it was also one of the best days of our lives. We really owe it all to Bethany and cannot rave enough about her and her team. We've heard from many of our friends who got married about something they didn't like about their wedding planning process, but honestly, working with Bethany was completely smooth, stress-free, and an efficient yet detailed process. If you are thinking about having a wedding at Willow Creek Ranch, I 1000% would recommend it. (All photos in this review are from our wonderful wedding photographer Carmelisse Photography!)

The volleyball court was unusable, the ping pong table had to be propped up with chairs so it would work. The worst thing though was the dirt. It is not kept clean at all, there is dirt and grime all over the place and the bathrooms and showers are absolutely disgusting. When I asked about emptying the garbage and cleaning up the mess on a Monday they said they don't work on the weekends! How can you run an establishment like this and not work on the weekend.

The lady was nice and I understand this was all coming down from the owner and out of her control, but not knowing if more drastic changes were in store is too nerve wrecking to deal with when trying to plan a wedding. This was also the most expensive place we had looked at after the price increase, even cliff side beach venues in Half Moon Bay and Napa wine country historic parks are drastically cheaper.

For years I've been wanting to try this place. After an outing in the Desert with my sister-in-law, we decided to try this restaurant it would be both our first time. My sister-in-law and I walked into the restaurant and found the place to be very busy as you would expect at dinner time. The crowd was mostly elderly, could be regulars. For appetizers, we ordered the potato skins. For our meals, I ordered the special of the day, Seabass with pilaf, and vegetables. My sister-in-law ordered the soft crab cake. And before our appetizer and meals arrived we were served a basket of rolls which looked like regular rolls, but when you bit into them, they were warm and very tasty. Both of our meals were very good. Sadly we had no room for dessert. Where our table was situated, we could see pretty much the entire restaurant. The only thing that was not visible was the sitting bar but everywhere you sat, you would be looking out a window. It is all around the windows. One of the window area they had hummingbird feeders hanging, and you could see the hummingbirds haven't their dinner as well. Service was very friendly. I would love to come back and try some other items on their menu..

Sitting at the bar feels oddly enclosed and lifeless. Even with open windows, the atmosphere comes across as closed off and quiet in an uncomfortable way, more empty banquet hall than inviting restaurant. Each time, the place felt dead. Service at the bar was also lacking. The bartender was frequently away talking with servers, leaving us waiting a long time for drinks despite how slow the restaurant was. The food was equally underwhelming. The sides that are often praised, including the twice-baked potato, tasted like frozen, reheated items rather than something freshly made. The meat itself was mediocre and forgettable, with nothing that stood out. We really wanted to like this place and gave it multiple chances, but after three visits, we're genuinely confused by the hype.

With a father of the groom who worked in flowers his whole life, Kimberly and The Dainty Lion had a…read morehigh bar to contend with. She cleared it with ease, and affordability. Kimberly took the time to sit down with us and our wedding planners to ensure her vision matched not only what we had pictured for our wedding day but also what our planner was putting together. She brings a relevant style that doesn't surrender classical beauty for current fads. Her ability to provide florals for an immense variety of locations and needs is a testament to her skill and eye for design. Not only did she handle classic bouquets, center pieces, and boutonnieres, she also created beautiful flower boxes and a wonderful floral piece for the wood house we were married under. We highly recommend Kimberly for any wedding (or other event!) in Southern California.

I knew I had to work with Kimberly when I came across her work; her unique and non-traditional take on wedding florals perfectly fit the modern and bold look I was after. In addition, 5 minutes into meeting her, I immediately fell in love with her super warm personality, huge smile and her clear ability to take my vision and bring it to life with her choice in flowers, colors and styling. This was especially important since florals were one of our top priorities for our Garden wedding. Kimberly first created our engagement photo bouquet prior to our wedding (breathtaking), and then on the day of, she delivered ridiculously amazing family-style table centerpieces, our bride and groom chair decor, and our impeccably styled chuppah, which my husband and I were married under. And the bridal bouquet -- I still have no words. It was more incredible than anything I had dreamed of!! Needless to say, the florals completely stole the show all night, and they were talked about weeks after our wedding. She went above and beyond with every single piece of her work. We could not have been happier and more in awe with it all!! Kimberly is passionate about working closely with her clients and building the relationship to deliver florals that feel so personal and fitting. She is also all about working collaboratively with the vendor team to really achieve that beautifully styled wedding with attention to every single detail. We HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and The Dainty Lion Floral Co. for the couple that is looking for florals that stand out from the rest with a bold and a non-traditional /fresh flare, and well as a creative and kind soul that places her heart and passion into everything she touches.

From the very beginning, both Robyn and Sarah made us feel completely supported and genuinely cared for. The wedding coordinating team at Ivory + Stone are truly incredible at what they do -- professional, understanding, calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and somehow always one step ahead of everything. When I say that Ivory + Stone Event Co. made our wedding vision come to life, that would be an understatement. They not only executed the wedding planning process perfectly, but helped make our wedding one of the most memorable days of our lives. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but our Lead Wedding Planner, Sarah, made the entire experience feel so seamless! Sarah not only made sure that every detail reflected our vision perfectly, but her ability to keep everything running smoothly gave us so much peace of mind throughout the process. She is not only an amazing wedding planner, but was an incredible support and friend to us along the way! On the wedding day itself, Sarah and the Ivory + Stone team absolutely went above and beyond. Every detail was flawless, the timeline ran perfectly, and we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our day because we knew we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly because of the relationship we built with Ivory + Stone, and the love we felt from Sarah throughout the entire day! Finding a wedding planning team that you trust can feel overwhelming at the beginning, but I promise that choosing Ivory + Stone to plan your special day will be one of the best decisions you make.

As someone that interviewed many planners in the San Diego area, they were a clear winner by a milestone. Their attention to detail and ability to bring your crazy vision to life is astounding and everything came out better than we ever could have dreamed. Sarah, our lead planner, was simply put, phenomenal. Her ability to anticipate your needs and thoughts was incredibly helpful, not to mention, just one of the loveliest, most genuine, and meticulously organized people you will ever meet. We are actually devastated our wedding is over and we don't have constant communication with her ha! If you have a vision, but need help executing, or don't know what pieces of the puzzle you're missing, Ivory & Stone is who you NEED to hire for your event!!! Cannot recommend their entire team enough, including Gaby for any and all styling :)

She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.
