Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Tucked among the rolling hills of San Diego’s North County, this 265-acre Forbes-recommended resort is made for dreamy destination weddings. Whether your guests are coming from across the country or just a few minutes away, they'll feel whisked away to another world: one with a championship golf course, award-winning spa, plush guest rooms, and unmatched culinary experiences.
- Say "I do" in the lush gardens, surrounded by seasonal white roses, Italian cypress and olive trees, and charming European fountains, then transition into the elegant Bernardo Ballroom where floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the manicured grounds. With the feel of a secluded Mediterranean estate, you can't beat golden hour dinners in the more intimate Santiago Courtyard, followed by dancing in the Santiago Ballroom.
- South Asian weddings are an especially seamless fit, with a flexible cultural catering policy, an experienced staff, and a range of spaces for every gathering—from your Baraat along the tree-lined path to the Aragon Lawn to your grand 500-guest reception in the stately Aragon Ballroom, which boasts honey-toned walls, a high ceiling, and gorgeous pendant chandeliers.
