    We were fortunate to have our wedding planned through Ranch Events at the Mission Bay Sunset Room. Julie Castro was our coordinator and she was amazing! She made the whole planning effort so easy and she was very thorough. Her talents and expertise really began to shine the as we entered the week of the wedding. She made everything come together so well, coordinating with the vendors, making sure we are happy with the food, the layouts, and the overall plan. On the day of, my now wife and I were so amazed by the event put together by Julie. We had so much fun and did not have to worry about anything except enjoying our event with our family and friends. Also, the food was amazing. We had filet mignon, salmon, and tuscan chicken with the duchess potatoes and squash boat. Was very delicious. We added late night sliders, and we also had a grazing table with ceviche added and the guests were really happy with it. Our event was ~120 individuals and we are happy with the decision we made to go with Ranch Events and Julie. I cannot say enough about how great they are and how amazing the event turned out!

    I can't speak highly enough about Ranch Events. My husband and I got married over a year ago, and our loved ones still comment on how beautiful our wedding was. Megan was absolutely excellent. She was thoughtful, responsive, kind, and professional! We planned our wedding in just four months, and Megan truly helped lighten any worries we may have had. It was incredibly helpful to have a wedding venue that provided the tables, chairs, flatware, lighting, and, to top it off, delicious dinner options! We received so many compliments on our wedding food, it was amazing. We had so much fun working with the team at Ranch Events and highly recommend them for any special occasion. You will not be disappointed! We love them so much. Thank you again, Ranch Events!

    Bernardo is the kind of wedding venue manager you dream of but rarely find. He exceeded our expectations tenfold and made our wedding day flawless. Guests raved about how smooth everything was, and my family was so impressed with his kindness and professionalism. He managed every detail with such ease and care, leaving us free to just enjoy the celebration. I honestly cannot imagine a better partner for such an important day. If you want a wedding that feels effortless and magical, this is the place--and Bernardo is the reason why.

    The serves were incredibly kind. They gave us 3 ice cold water bottles because it was so hot out. Their pricing is UNBEATABLE and their food is so flavorful and delicious. I cannot stress enough just how welcoming and kind these staff were to us. I would recommend Ranch Events to everyone 100x over. Bless you all thank you.

    We cannot say enough about the quality of catering and customer service by Ranch Events for our wedding. Megan was our main point of contact and was nothing but savvy and open-minded to our food & bev ideas, creatively bringing them to life in a functional and beautiful manner. We are the third couple in our family to utilize RE for rehearsal dinners & weddings, and year over year they always do an amazing job. For our rehearsal dinner, we had buffet island style food that RE set up at our parents backyard that was a nice casual yet perfectly celebratory dinner style to kick off the weekend. At our wedding, we had a plated & served dinner service that was more upscale (where the waiters bring the food to each person at their tables) and everyone said their service was very detail oriented. We ordered a custom wedding cake from RE as well as a 4' x 2' berry pastry dessert that they didn't hesitate to tackle making for us - it was stunning, photo attached! We a full bar (well numerous bars!) where we ourselves bought & provided all of the booze + mixers, etc. and they served. They absolutely crushed the assignment in all aspects of the weekend and brought our custom, unique visions to life in a seamless, beautiful manner. All of our guests raved that it was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the bartending was exceptional. It meant so much to us to work with a catering company that had many great offerings established but also was excited to think outside the box and make custom items for us. We even provided beef from the ranch where we got married at for them to cook with for appetizers to literally make the meal farm to table. So special. THANK YOU RANCH EVENTS - WE LOVE YOU!

    Company Holiday Party Review: 1/17/2026 I am always so proud and pleased with the services provided by Ranch Events. The catering team was so friendly, professional, and helpful, and of course, the food was so delicious and enjoyed by all at our annual holiday company party! I used Ranch Events for both my wedding and referred them to my company for our holiday party and both experiences were wonderful and full of tasty food (had the Italian menu for wedding and the Christmas menu for holiday party). And their wedding cake is the best!! Huge shoutout to Ramon for making this as stress-free and seamless as a process as possible! He and his team always do everything to take care of the client and ensure the event goes smoothly. My Wedding - Caterers Review: 11/18/2023 We are beyond pleased with the superb catering of Ranch Events for our wedding at El Cortez's Don Room! Ramon was so wonderful, helpful, and professional throughout the whole planning process. First, they brought us in for a food tasting, where they provided generous (full) portions of all food per our selected menu (normal, Mexican or Tuscany food menus)--they even provided us a slice of cake for over 9 cake flavors and let us take home all leftovers! The food tasting for our wedding menu that was provided was honestly the first "fun" moment of our stressful wedding planning process and I enjoyed it so much. For the food itself, it was so delicious and flavorful! I was cautious at first about what to expect for food quality and my expectations were far exceeded. Their amazing champagne amaretto cake is a must try for your own taste wedding cake!! The staff is so wonderful and helpful, and our main point of contact, Ramon, was a great coordinator and scheduled meetings for choosing the table linens and finalizing the wedding timeline, which I appreciated because it made me feel more calm about getting everything in place for our wedding. During the actual event, the Ranch Events staff were so professional, friendly and efficient, and all our guests told us how much they loved the food! I highly recommend Ranch Events for your future wedding!

    My son's wedding reception was everything I could have imagined, and more! Bernardo made sure everything was perfect and went off without a hitch! The room set up was stunning and functional and the food was absolutely amazing!! So many people came to us and told us this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to!

    Ranch Events is an amazing and sweet company! Bernardo is always so warm and welcoming to us. Our wedding was 3 years ago but they still offer a free topper cake for our anniversary every year! (We added raspberries in the picture) The cake was so so soooo delicious and fragrant, everyone at the party couldn't say enough good things! Thank you all again :)

    Omar was the BEST bartender we've ever had! He worked our Orangetheory Fitness event and absolutely crushed it. From start to finish, he brought the energy, the fun, and the perfect vibe. He was so kind, personable, and made everyone feel taken care of plus, his drinks were next level. The whole crowd loved him! If you ever get the chance to have Omar at your event, do it. 100/10 total legend #OrangetheoryApproved

    I had my 80th birthday celebration at Marina Village, Seaside Room, late January 2025 with one hundred guests. Bernardo Valdez, with Ranch Events, was my coordinator. Bernardo did a FABULOUS job from the beginning to the end. He had no problem with talking with either me or my niece regarding the party whenever we called. In fact, at the end of the party we discussed how we became family and would miss the phone conversations. Bernardo had so many great ideas and went far beyond the call of duty, exceeding our expectations. He played a significant role in the tremendous success of my milestone celebration. Please consider Bernardo Valdez with Rancg Events for your next event. We chose Ranch Events to cater for the party which turned out to be a great choice because the food was delicious. The waitstaff were excellent as well. My family and I give Bernardo and Ranch Events a hundred stars instead of the customary highest rating of five stars.

    Just told them that I wanted something white and simple and they gave me this beautiful cake.

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. If you are looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish, we cannot recommend Ivory + Stone enough. Robyn, Sarah, and the entire Ivory + Stone team are all absolute gems, and we are so beyond grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding unforgettable!

We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but she was such a help from the moment we hired her. She took a huge burden off our shoulders, and was a great resource from the beginning giving us tools, recommendations, a timeline, and answering any questions we had during the planning process. As we got closer to our wedding date, she did a fantastic job coordinating between our venue, all of our vendors, and us. She did a great job working with us and with other vendors to keep us on budget and helped us pull off some DIY tasks. On the day of the wedding, she handled everything perfectly, managing the set up, tear down, timeline, coordination between vendors, and kept everything on schedule, so that we could focus on enjoying our big day and being present. We would highly recommend Bliss Events, especially Paige, to anyone looking for a month-of coordinator that can help you plan your own wedding, and take everything off your hands for the actual day.

She was very accessible and we knew we could count on her to respond quickly even if our question was not urgent.

She is excellent with both phone and email communication and is certain to make sure she is working within your comfort zone. She has built quite a rapport with San Diego's top event planning and catering services, and she shares this high quality with her clients as needed. Her strategy, though intimidating at first, makes our reflection on this event a very positive one: "I am going to front-load a lot of this stuff far in advance," she opened up with. The tasks were daunting, but looking back, we would not have done it any other way. My wife and I were up to the challenge, and completing a lot of the planning about 6-7 months in advance not only relieved stress later down the line, but allowed for Victoria to really work her magic in ensuring that every detail of our events were flawless. Victoria was incredibly flexible. She helped us plan both a wedding ceremony in Hawaii and a reception event in San Diego. A lot of resources were needed to pull both events together, and Victoria made sure that things ran seamlessly, even combating a last-minute rain storm in Maui! Victoria works closely her fiancé Paul Barnett, who works as a photographer in the San Diego area. One review on this site felt that this was a conflict of interest, but nothing could be further from the truth. Paul is a wizard with the lens and when given the opportunity to work with the thorough planning of Victoria, magic happens. Their planning chemistry not only makes them more fun to work with, but also results in a unbelievable product. We cannot say enough about Victoria's abilities. Utilizing her talents to help plan our wedding was the best decision we made for our special day. THANK YOU, VICTORIA!!!

We hired her about a year out and she was extremely proactive in getting us timelines, checking off to-dos, answering questions, and assisting in coordinating all vendor meetings. She is super organized and has a tool for everything which was really nice. Being the perfectionist that I am I had to be involved in EVERY detail and Victoria embraced this and even helped calm my nerves and indecisiveness often. She has recommendations for days and will always listen to what you like and what you don't like. She has been in the business for a long time so knows pretty much everyone. She brings a team of about 4 people to the wedding and ensures that everything is running smoothly. She ran our rehearsal super quickly and efficiently and there were no hiccups during the ceremony. She really came to life in executing the vision of our wedding. We got married at Coasterra which is a a very modern, industrial vibe and I always wanted a soft romantic garden wedding. To say she married the two vibes well is an understatement. She BLEW US AWAY. When I turned the corner and and saw all the florals and the decor and the tiny touches that brought the space to life I could have cried. She really gave me the perfect wedding. We can't thank Victoria enough and you should definitely not hesitate to book her for your wedding because she is INCREDIBLE.

    Although it has been a year, my husband and I are still reminded of the disappointment, sadness and…read moreembarrassment that was caused on our wedding day due to our hiring of Yvonne as a "day of wedding coordinator". In the days following our wedding, we were informed by multiple attendees of her inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. Family and friends of ours could not believe that she was our "day of coordinator"! Many of our guests witnessed her lack of attention to the details that were important to my wedding day. From the moment our vendors arrived to set up the beach deck, to the actual wedding ceremony to the start of the reception.... Her duties were neglected....Rather than assist in making sure things went smoothly and as planned....she instead told my friends who arrived early to help out that details were NOT her responsibility, she indulged in alcohol, stood from a distance on the deck and just observed the ceremony, then went on to dance inappropriately, intimidate guests, and request songs she wanted to hear to the DJ at my reception. It was very obvious that she made her priority having fun while fully neglecting the actual duty for which she was hired! Yvonne and I met the week before my wedding and went through a binder with a list of expectations and obligations for which I paid her $350 to complete. She made no mention that she was going to be incapable of fulfilling those duties. I am still appalled that she did not hold up her end of the agreement. In addition, it took her over a month to return my day-of binder to me. She first said she mailed it, then after multiple emails, she finally said it was not mailed and that she would drop it off at my condo. I should not have had to spend so much time trying to get it back from her! Furthermore, it became an even wider eye-opener when we received our wedding video and pictures from the day. She is clearly visible in the background of the video and pictures standing off to the side with a drink in her hand, grinding on our guests, and appears completely intoxicated - not acting professional at all. A true embarrassment! When I found out that she had to be asked to leave the reception, I was in disbelief! In the time since I was married, I have had 4 friends also get engaged. When they inquired about hiring a wedding planner/coordinator, rather than be able to recommend her, I had to be honest and tell them NOT to hire her. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about the fact that I paid her $350! Don't try to get a refund from Yvonne directly, file a claim with the Better Business Bureau and then go through small claims court in San Diego. Contact the Small Claims Advisor at (858) 634-1777 to guide you through the process. This is a free service. When I went through Yvonne for a refund, she tried to make me sign what she called a "refund agreement" which is pretty much a gag order to prevent myself and anyone I know, and all my wedding guests from speaking about her and her service. It was a bogus document! Also, the file she sent me had someone else's name on it... Save your $$$ and hire someone else! Message me if you want any more details of information.
