The wedding reception was beautiful. I loved roaming through the castle walls peaking into different rooms. This location has a very unique setup for the wedding party. It was pretty awesome inside of the castle and outside. It was nice having something to do while we waited for festivities to begin.

After a phone conversation and a resolution for my sister (not me or my shoes though) i can appreciate how they handled the situation and can honestly say they made things right for my sister. Which is what matters most since it was her day. I'm still knocking down stars since there was no resolution for my $100 shoes and i don't appreciate how unprofessionaly the situation was handled at first. I swear this place pays review places to take down posts. I've reviewed them a few times now on different platforms and they keep flagging it for removal. I will repost as many times as I have to to warn others so this review is based from a guest point of view. I see other reviews that allow that so I'll speak based on my experience the day of only and this shouldn't be a "violation of rules" as they're claiming to the websites. Very disappointed in this place. The bridal suite was extremely hot and only had a portable AC that wasn't even turned on when we got there! So we were sweating the entire time we got ready in the room. The bartender was super rude to anyone of color and flat out refused to serve some of them. He made inappropriate remarks to me personally about "how much I was drinking" by the third time I went to get a drink and had such an attitude. I'm glad to hear he got fired from the bride and groom. Also, I believe the staff stole my $100 pair of shoes and almost stole a pair of my Dad's Ray Ban sunglasses but he caught it on time. I, along with many guests, left our stuff at our tables after dinner to witness the cake cutting and the staff moved our personal things and placed them in a pile at another table closer to the building. How rude is it to touch people's personal items?! That's the reason for the shoes going missing so it's on them. They say they don't have them in their lost and found. So where'd they go?? I do not recommend coming here at all.

Mt Woodson was such a lovely place to get married. The staff was amazing and ensured everything went perfectly the day of. Kelsey and Peyton were very easy to reach during the planning process as well. The tasting event offered to try the food was also so fun and the food was delicious! Our guest even said our wedding was the nicest one they've ever been to. Thank you for making our day so special Mt Woodson team!

Getting married at Mt. Woodson Castle was the right choice for us. It was beautiful and so nice to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and indoor/outdoor space all in one place. I can't imagine having done our wedding without a day of coordinator and everyone we were put into contact with was helpful and professional. Of course, when you look back on an event like this, there will be things you wish you could do differently. But I'm happy to say that our wedding day went very smoothly and the only things I would change have to do with our other vendors or with myself and my family! My husband and I are already planning on having our ten-year anniversary celebration at Mt. Woodson. We loved it so much we want to do it again!

We loved our wedding here! Back in 2019 we planned our wedding for January 2021. Then the pandemic hit and we postponed it by one year. It was super easy and quick. Leading up to the wedding Peyton, & Brooke were super helpful. They answered the questions we had, and put up with a lot of last minute changes that came about from the omicron surge (lots of last minute cancellations due to the surge). the dress rehearsal was quick and easy too. Then the long awaited big day! We've been waiting for this day for 2 years! the entire day went so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything. Peyton set up all the decor beautifully, and we loved seeing our guest book laid out. The reception went smoothly and all the guests commented on how beautiful it was. It really was! We loved the gorgeous trees and mountains! The only slightly less positive thing is that I thought the food could've been better. Couldn't recommend more how great it was to have a wedding here!

I had been waiting to photograph a wedding there, and it finally happened last week! I had "Google scouted" the castle, but the venue and spaces were even more beautiful in person, almost magical, especially after dusk. The castle is huge and full of photographic gems, which made for the perfect setting for my client's wedding day. Aside from the aesthetics, I appreciated the onsite parking, prompt service, and helpful staff. The contracted coordination and catering company (Personal Touch Dining) takes pride in what they do and delivers exceptional service. I will be recommending this venue to future clients who may be looking for an enchanted oak forest and gorgeous architecture for their wedding backdrops. Thank you, Dani, for being such a genuinely caring and skilled coordinator!

Date of event: November 9, 2018 It was my closest friend's wedding, and yours truly was part of the festivities as an usher/escort to the mother of the bride. The location they had chosen was Mt. Woodson Castle all the way up in Ramona. Who knew that San Diego actually had a castle (even though it's a bit out of the way, and it shares space with a golf course)? The venue is gorgeous - the ceremony was held outdoors, and the weather was perfect for all parties involved. Although Mt. Woodson Castle is up in the mountains, the views are beautiful. The interior is vast, with the various rooms (especially the bridal and groom suites) being quite airy and having a rustic feel to the place. The main room itself is quite spacious, even if they had to clear a few of the tables - including the wedding party's - to open up the dance floor. (Speaking of, I kinda considered requesting the DJ to play "The Rains of Castamere," only to find out that not too many of the guests were avid fans of Game of Thrones...) The staff are very professional and kept things moving along as the festivities commenced. Pretty impressive, especially since the wedding ended at 9pm, and everything was packed up and put away an hour later. While parking isn't as close as I would've liked, it was pretty easy getting in and out of the lot. Give this place a chance if you're planning a smaller wedding and want a classy intimate venue to hold it in. And one more thing - congratulations & best wishes to my friends K & J (who know I'm a Yelp Elite and would be reviewing the place, but didn't want me broadcasting who they are just yet)!

This venue is absolutely stunning. Because it's so beautiful we honestly didn't think we could afford it. After our initial meeting with Taylor, we immediately booked it!! It exceeded our expectations and was all within budget. Taylor is so patient, answered ALL my questions and made my dream wedding come true. I'm beyond grateful to have had our wedding at Mt. Woodson. They will not disappoint.

Mt Woodson was the first venue we looked at and we instantly knew it was the venue for us! We loved how unique it was and the history of the building. The pictures online don't do the history justice! We especillay loved the hand painted astrology room. All of the ceremony & reception spaces were amazing but we fell in love with the oak trees and the lower lawn for the reception. Another great part about the venue is how inclusive it is. The coordinators were so helpful in finding vendors for the things we wanted (marquee letters, specific arch, etc). The coordinators were very commmunicative leading up to the day and were happy to help answer all our questions! The provided lists of suggested vendors and that helped us so much since we aren't from the area! They also offer a lot of items from "Amys Closet" which has table numbers, card boxes etc. It was great to have access to these for our day. The day went pretty smoothly and we feel so thankful we found Mt Woodson as our wedding venue. All of our guests really loved it as well, we are not local to San Diego so it was a bit of a drive for some guests, but they all said it was very worth it and loved it as much as we did! I am so glad we got married at Mt Woodson and will have this special memory at this venue for the rest of our lives! I would definitely reccomend this for couples looking for a unique, affordable, all inclusive venue option!

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Knowlton, November 2016! Mt. Woodson Castle was such an incredible venue for my dear friend Michelle's wedding. When it was first announced that it would be held outdoors at a castle near San Diego, my initial thoughts were... "what castle?!" Fortunately, this venue exceeded all expectations as a ceremony guest, so I could only imagine what it was like for the newlyweds when everything was perfect, seamless, and beautiful that day. The castle is extraordinary with ample spaces for dining, mingling, and experiencing an important day in the lives of someone close to my heart. It truly felt like a fairytale wedding with all the nerdy Star Wars and Harry Potter music chosen by the bride and groom. For the ladies wearing heels, be careful and avoid some of the rocks as you make your way up and down from the outdoor dance floor to the restrooms! Guests were welcome to explore the interior of the castle as well which made it even more magical. If you are considering booking a venue for you or a friend's wedding, let the reviews and photos speak for themselves.

This venue is beautiful, all the guests loved the area and history of the castle. The food was phenomenal, everyone was so impressed and couldn't stop raving about it afterwards. Taylor and Dani are fantastic, leading up to the day and the day of they were happy to help with anything and answered all our questions. We felt safe and comfortable with their COVID precautions and had no guests sick afterwards. I would happily recommend this venue to anyone looking for something inclusive and beautiful!

See all

Check out their calendar for event details, but they do have a lot of events for kids as well as some street faire type events. I ama not certain if they always have live music, but the times that we have been here, they have had great live music playing. They have a great selection of wines (the sweet ones for me and the not sweet ones for my wife) as well as delightful Sangria's and wind slushies. The food was actually really good here too! They have Cheeseburgers, Bratwurst, Hotdog, veggie burgers, nachos, Bavarian pretzels, charcuterie box, churros. They also had sliders when we were there, and we opted to share sliders, charcuterie box and a Bavarian pretzel. The pretzel was massive and delicious, 100% would order again. The sliders were cooked perfectly and are made from beef raised on the property where they maintain a herd of over 2000 cows! You can also purchase a Box of their 100% grass fed on open pastures beef to take home for your freezer and cook at your leisure. This is an amazing place, always a lot of fun!

If you visit during the fall, the décor is beautiful with lots of seasonal touches and plenty of photo opportunities to get you in the autumn spirit. The winery is easy to find right off the main road and has gorgeous views overlooking a large grassy lawn. There are so many seating options to choose from: a cool indoor space, a covered outdoor patio with tables that are great for groups, and my personal favorite -- the Adirondack‑style chairs scattered across the lawn with little side tables positioned perfectly to take in the view. They also have a restaurant on site that opens at noon and host trivia nights, which sounds like a fun excuse to come back. As a dog lover, I especially appreciated how dog‑friendly they are. They even have a resident winery dog named Pinot! I didn't get to meet him during my visit, but he apparently has his own little play area inside, which is adorable. The wine was good. I opted for a glass, which was a little on the pricier side, but overall I thought it was worth the visit for the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting, and welcoming vibe. A great spot to spend an afternoon with friends, family, or your pup.

We worked closely with Nicole Park throughout the entire planning process and cannot thank her enough. Her flexibility with communication, accommodations, and attention to detail made everything feel seamless. She genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for our actual wedding day, and it showed in every way. Nicole and the entire Rancho Guejito team are exceptional at what they do. Everyone is incredibly friendly, professional, and solution-oriented, with an impressive network of resources and vendor connections. From start to finish, it truly felt like the team had our backs on all fronts. Their level of care, organization, and professionalism made the planning process feel far less stressful. The property itself is absolutely stunning -- vast greenery, rolling vineyards, citrus trees, and the most incredible natural scenery. It even smells amazing on site! We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples to host our wedding at the new venue location after originally booking the former space, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The new venue is breathtaking and perfectly complemented our moody, romantic wedding vision. The new getting-ready suites are beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces so close together was a huge plus for our guests. Even months later, our guests still talk about how magical the Rancho Guejito property is. Between the lush landscape, expansive views, and countless photo locations across the property, it truly feels like an exclusive and intimate experience for you and your partner.

We also loved that the space really provided a blank canvas and we had so much freedom to do whatever we wanted with the space. We brought in live music, churros, our own alcohol, our own caterer, and our own rentals so our vision was really able to come to life!! At first I was nervous about the 10pm cutoff but most outdoor venues in San Diego also comply with this rule and after actually going through a wedding as the bride I was exhausted by 10pm lol! The office manager was very easy to work with throughout the entire process. The vendor recommendations were awesome as well as I found a lot of great people that helped bring the party to life. My wedding had a total of 240 people which made me nervous but we fit comfortably in the space and there was room for more. Overall great experience and great views!

I'm glad this place gives me the space to do that. I want to go back to try different dishes and wines, browse the shops, and save room for dessert! Perhaps I will come on a Friday since they have a farmer's market that day from 9am-1 pm! I had a date night and went on a Saturday, 2 hours before closing. We ordered Calabrese Pizza, Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza, Parmesan Fries, and Rigatoni & Vodka Sauce Pasta. My goodness, everything was GOOD! The Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza was my favorite, pure perfection of flavors. I know there's always a debate with pineapple on pizza but this apple and gorgonzola makes sense, I don't think anyone would ever question it. The parmesan fries was so yummy as well, you get a HEFTY amount. We actually didn't finish a good amount and took this home along with a few slices of pizza. Pasta was delicious as well, there was leftover pasta sauce that we just scooped up with the crust of the pizza. The ambience - amazing and beautiful. It is pretty spread out. I've only been here a couple times but I was able to find a table both times aside from the good amount of people the times I've came. We sat inside the tasting room and the food came out promptly. I do love that on hot days they will turn their misters on, great touch Way to keep us cool! We decided to do the Traditional Wine Tasting where you get six 1.5 oz pours of your choice for $32. Also, you can get free chocolate to pair with your wine at the dessert shop. Delicious, everything I ordered was what I needed. Everyone here just seems incredibly nice. From the people who took your order at the Kitchen, food runners, pourers, even the lady at the dessert shop (even though we didn't get any dessert lol) was friendly. We wanted to get dessert, but we had 15 minutes left till closing, however she didn't rush us out the outside area. I saw that there was a sugar free pistachio gelato flavor. I love that, seems like it was a hit because it was nearly all out! Next time I do go, I definitely want to try that and their cannolis!!! I love Cannolis. Anyways, back to the wine tasting, I believe her name is Cecilia (?), She was great. Great service along with the other pourer at the counter. I did not catch her name but she has blonde short hair and was very nice and friendly as well! Overall, 10/10, & I will be back very soon.
