    Ready for our reunion
    Susan S.

    This past Saturday I held my 35 year high school reunion in the Crystal Ridge Room of The Centre. To say that it was a success would be a huge understatement. It was perfect. I had rave reviews from my classmates on everything from the view, to the food, to the service at the bar. We were all treated exceptionally well, and I am thrilled with my decision to use the Crystal Ridge Room for our event. I want to be sure to acknowledge Krista and Kayli, the event planning staff that assisted me with all of the planning and decision making. Their expertise, suggestions, and follow-though was both appreciated and comforting. They were both very professional, pleasant, and easy to work with. They gave excellent advice on food suggestions and recommendations of how much to order for my group to be sure I wasn't short on anything. They were accommodating when it came time to set up, and we quick with answers when I had questions. I also want to acknowledge the staff that took care of our group so well on the evening of the event. Our Captain, Max, was fantastic, as well as his staff of Adam and Edgar. They kept the food coming, kept the tables clean of used dishes and bottles, etc, and kept the guests happy. Sean and Raymond behind the bar were equally wonderful, and were quick with the drinks, personable and all-around fun. It simply couldn't have been a better experience and I am deeply appreciative to everyone involved who helped to make this special event go off without a hitch. I will highly recommend The Centre to anyone looking for a special event venue.

    See all

I stayed in the cozy Sparrow cottage, which was well-decorated and had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and dishes for two. I loved the rocking chair on the patio for coffee and reading. The pool is cute and relaxing, though unheated, but the hot tub is warm. There's a serene stream with frogs croaking at night, and the property is secluded, with a few nearby wineries to explore. This retreat is ideal for couples or a small group of friends. Cons: The hot water is only lukewarm. The bed had some dirt/sand. My TV didn't work, and the bonfire is only available until 4 pm. The animal sanctuary ($7) requires a reservation, but the front desk told me to just show up. When I did, the staff said same-day reservations weren't allowed--and she was a bit cranky--so I couldn't visit. However, it's small enough to view from outside the fence. TL;DR: This ranch is feels safe, peaceful and promising. Once the restaurant opens and cleaning standards improve, it will be a perfect nature escape.

    We stayed at Bandy Canyon Ranch back in October to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. I sat…read moreon this review for far too long because it honestly just made me so incredibly angry and I didn't want to relive the experience. I've also seen how the manager responds to other negative reviews and didn't feel like dealing with the attacks. I had been following Bandy Canyon on Instagram and the experience they promote online nowhere meets the reality. We chose to stay at the Eagle cabin because it had more space for our 2 kids and dog and the other rooms available were much smaller in comparison. The cabin didn't look upgraded online but for $910 for 2 nights, I assumed it had to be nicer than the photos looked. It was actually much, much worse. The website touts upgraded and renovated rooms but the Eagle cabin had clearly not been updated maybe since it had been built. I cannot begin to explain how depressing the cabin felt walking in at night. Floor to ceiling brown shiny walls illuminated by harsh white lightbulbs, no art or decor on the walls, tacky fake plant from the 90s covered in dust, yellow stained and ripped curtains. The floor was ripped and worn. It felt like a prison. The TV was missing the remote so we couldn't even turn on the TV for some added ambiance. It was dead silent. We spent hours turning the place upside down trying to find a remote, my husband was hyperventilating from how suffocating and tacky the room felt with no escape. We almost left as soon as we arrived. I called the front desk over the course of several hours. The front desk couldn't get us a remote that worked and tried calling her manager but couldn't figure out what to do. We hadn't eaten dinner so my husband reluctantly grilled us some food on the sad bbq outside our room in almost complete darkness. It was intended to be a special celebration of our 10-year wedding anniversary and it ended up being a weekend from hell. Did I mention they prohibit you from bringing your own wine? Because they sell wine on site as part of their "winery." However I was told they only had rose when I asked for a red. What is this, a college dorm? I'm going to get in trouble for bringing my own wine to celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary? Didn't find this out until we were packing our bags for the trip and my husband was looking at their website. I somehow managed to convince my husband to stay the night versus driving home immediately. I really wanted to salvage our milestone anniversary trip! I tried using the shower and the pipes screeched loudly, sounding like someone was screaming in your ear the whole time. I sent video to the front desk. The noise was so unbearable that we couldn't even use the shower. The sound echoed through the entire house, making it impossible to ignore. These elements greatly diminished the comfort and ambiance we had anticipated. Furthermore, a major reason for choosing the ranch was the promise of a pool for our toddler to enjoy, especially as it's promoted across the ranch's Instagram. To our dismay, the pool was not heated and was too cold to use, which was very disappointing. Adding to this inconvenience, the pool bar was closed, further limiting our recreational options.    All the ranch workers we interacted with were supportive and apologetic, agreeing that the Eagle cabin was outdated and unfit for guests. They acknowledged that it should not have been rented out in its current condition. They promised us the manager would make it right. I was told she's get in touch with me after the weekend. It took me messaging them for about a solid month for the manager to finally call me, which by that point I had zero interest in talking to her. We paid good money to stay here and it was a complete waste. For 2 nights we spent almost 1k ($910 to be exact). You'd think for that kind of money we'd get a much nicer experience!

We visited midday on a Saturday and there were lots of people there, but it didn't feel crowded. There were many spaces to gather: the patio by the wine bar, a grassy area next to the bar, an air-conditioned room with a couple seating areas, and a massive front lawn with picnic tables and bounce houses. The setting was enhanced by the music from the guitarist. These grounds deserves 5+ stars! The kids in our group (ages 8-13) had fun going on the hayrides, exploring the estate, and playing on the bounce houses. Glad to see that one of the bounce houses was only for kids ages 4 and under. They also offer craft activities on Sundays. We adults enjoyed the music, ambience, and wine tasting, especially since the kids were occupied with activities. The winery served several types of wine and sangria. The adults in our group rated the wines 3 stars- not amazing but not bad either. They served burgers, sliders, hot dogs, bratwurst, and nachos with ground beef, all sourced from cattle raised on their ranch. The kids and adults gave the food 4 stars. Overall, Rancho Guejito Vineyards is a fantastic place to visit! We will definitely be coming back and we'll be bringing more family friends with us.

The place was pretty well occupied when we arrived as they had live music coming on at 2:30. The music was awesome and we pretty much sipped on mimosas the whole time.

My husband and I toured SO many venues -- to…read morethe point where I was ready to give up and just do a destination wedding because nothing felt right. But the moment we stepped onto the grounds at Ethereal Gardens, everything changed. We instantly knew this was it. The venue is unbelievably beautiful, and the second we saw the Woodland Grotto, we were sold. It's magical in a way photos can't even capture. What makes this venue even more perfect is how convenient it is. Everything is in one place -- ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception -- which made the entire day flow seamlessly. Our guests didn't have to drive anywhere or worry about logistics. They could just relax and enjoy the celebration, and that meant so much to us. After booking, we were assigned our wedding coordinator, and my husband and I hit the jackpot with Stephanie. She matched our energy from the very beginning and completely understood our vision. She made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress‑free -- something I didn't think was possible. On the day of the wedding, she ensured every detail was perfect... and it truly was. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through this experience. Not only was Stephanie incredible, but every single person we encountered from the Trademark team was amazing. The staff on the wedding day were so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we -- and our guests -- were having the best time. Their warmth and professionalism made the day feel even more special. We're honestly so sad our wedding day is over, but we are forever grateful to Ethereal Gardens, the entire Trademark team, and especially our girl Stephanie. They helped us create a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you're considering this venue... book it. You will not regret it.

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how intentionally the space is designed. It was a rainy November day and the gardens felt lush and intimate without being crowded, and every corner offers beautiful, natural backdrops that photograph effortlessly. Even though it was raining the greenery and gray sky created the softest light that felt romantic and dreamy. What really stood out to me was how smoothly the day flowed. The layout of the venue makes transitions--from getting ready, to ceremony, to cocktail hour and reception--feel seamless, which is a huge gift for both couples and vendors. The team at Ethereal Gardens was wonderful to work with. They were organized, calm, and clearly experienced, which made it easy for me to focus on capturing genuine moments rather than navigating logistics (This is HUGE for a photographer). Not all venues experiences are created equal and this team stood out. They were ready with umbrellas and fresh drinks for the Bride and Groom at every moment. As someone who photographs weddings regularly, I can confidently say this is a venue that supports both the couple's experience AND the creative process. I am honored to get to photograph another wedding here in May and HIGHLY recommend Ethereal Gardens to couples looking for a naturally beautiful, well-run venue in North County San Diego.
