We just had our wedding reception on 8/22/2026 at the Seaside Room with 180 guests. Our planner/day-of coordinator was Yvonne Elguira and she was absolutely amazing and brilliant with handling our event! She perfectly executed my wife's vision for the reception! Additionally, she was great with making herself available to meet and discuss our event and making adjustments to the floor plan and providing recommendations when applicable. 

The hall was beautifully decorated and the staff were excellent with both food preparation and bar service. Highly recommend Yvonne and Ranch Events for all your special event needs!

We had our wedding August 1st, 2026 at the Seaside room in Marina Village for 220 guests. Ranch Events did a phenomenal job in providing us and our guests an unforgettable wedding reception. The setup and full-service catering was excellent. The food and wedding cake was delicious. Bernardo, our event planner was easy to work with and very knowledgeable. He set up a food tasting and multiple in-person meetings to discuss the event details. Bernardo went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went just as planned. We will definitely be recommending Ranch Events to our friends and families!

STOP LOOKING; Ranch Events is AMAZING!

If you are planning a quinceañera, wedding, or any special celebration, do yourself a favor and talk to Ranch Events! 

Planning a quinceañera can be incredibly stressful, but from the very first day, they made us feel like we were in the best hands.

Our event designer, Bernardo, was truly AMAZING! He was patient, professional, kind, and full of creative ideas. He never made us feel rushed or like we were asking for too much. We had multiple meetings, phone calls, and text messages throughout the planning process, and Bernardo was always there to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and help us bring our vision to life.

One of our favorite parts of the planning process was the food tasting! We wanted a delicious Mexican-inspired menu that would feel special and authentic to our family, and the tasting was such a wonderful experience. We were able to choose the colors and customize the food and details of our event, while Ranch Events handled all the work behind the scenes. That made such a huge difference!

Then came the BIG DAY and WOW! 

Bernardo made sure our room was beautifully set up and that everything was ready for our arrival. The entire event was so smooth, organized, and seamless. We were able to stop worrying about the little things and simply enjoy watching our daughter celebrate this incredibly special milestone.

A HUGE shoutout to Sal (Salvador), the captain! He was absolutely amazing, attentive, professional, and constantly making sure everything was running perfectly. You could tell he genuinely cared about making our event special.

And Alma, our bartender, deserves a special mention too! She was SO sweet, friendly, and knew her drinks!  She took great care of everyone and was such a wonderful part of our celebration.

At the end of the night, we walked away feeling so grateful. 

Our daughter's quinceañera was beautiful, joyful, and everything we dreamed it would be and more!

Ranch Events, Bernardo, Sal, Alma, and the entire team: THANK YOU!  You helped us create memories that our family will cherish forever.

If you're overwhelmed with planning your event and don't know where to start, START HERE. 

Ranch Events made the entire experience feel easy, personal, and truly special.

5 stars doesn't feel like enough, I don't have any picture of the event. I will upload them once the photographer is ready.

I highly recommend Ranch Events catering. We hired them to cater my niece's HS grad party, and they did not disappoint!! Julie Castro was our event coordinator, and she is a true professional who knows her stuff. She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. 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.

We used Ranch Events for our 40th Company Anniversary, and they did a great job. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and professional. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests really enjoyed it. I have been working with Bernardo Valdez! He has been amazing! We'd definitely use them again and again!

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, my partner 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 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!

Ranch Events is second to none. They made planning my daughter’s quinceañera a breeze. While there were some unexpected hiccups(no fault on Ranch) my event coordinator helped me navigate it with ease; she even found another location at the same price in the event we needed to pivot, fortunately we did not have to.

My event coordinator, Megan, was so friendly and a pleasure to work with. She made my daughter’s dreams come true on our modest budget. You can tell her work is her passion!

And the food!!! We have all been to large catered events were the food was cafeteria quality, this is not the case with Ranch! We had an incredible tasting experience and were so looking forward to the food! We had “fiesta colors” for our appetizer portion and their “taco bar” for dinner- it was delicious! Everyone kept raving about how good the food was. We lived off the leftovers for a week with pleasure!

The staff at the event was top notch and professional. They accommodated our changes during the event with no issue and did everything with a smile!

10/10 recommend Ranch Events for your next event!

We had the most fabulous experience with Ramon and Ranch Events. We hosted a celebration for 330 people and the catering was amazing. Ramon was so easy to work with. The tasting was delightful and we got to hand pick our entire menu. He coordinated rentals, bartender, and even an espresso coffee cart that was such a hit.
We will gladly have Ramon and his team host another event for us. Thanks again!!

I would give 10 stars if I could. This company has some of the best people I have worked with in events. I have been planning 1-2 large scale 300 - 400 person luncheons/dinners/galas for schools and  service organizations for over 15 years in San Diego, and I have never worked with such an incredible event team before. Bernardo, Sid, Sal and their entire event day staff were incredibly warm, accomodating, and thoughtful from our first visit to take down. They treated us like family and thought of this event of 350 people ranging from 18 yo to 70 yos as if it was their own personal event and the most important one of the year. They repeatedly reached out when they thought of things they thought would make the experience for each guest more enjoyable and easier for us. They worked within our budget, were patient and reasonable as we navigated coordinating between 3 groups co-hosting this multigenerational event to celebrate our Founder's Day. Bernardo was very responsive and remained our point of contact from the day we walked in throughout the planning, set up and event day. He was so sincere in wanting us to have a fabulous event and followed up on every detail.  And the FOOD!! Banquet food for 300+ guests is usually mediocre at best, but the chefs at Ranch Events make EVERYTHING delicious!! Even the vegetarian entree was mouth watering and extraordinary! Everyone raved about the quality and flavor of their meals and the variety of melt in your mouth desserts. And they were just wowed by the gorgeous waterfront setting of the venue (Seaside Room, Marina Village), with free and upfront parking. Truly a hidden gem in every way. I look forward to partnering together with this company for years to come. It would be hard to go anywhere else after working with Bernardo and his team.

They catered our wedding for 50 people, and the reviews from all the guests were raves.  Professional prompt service.  Very helpful for our guests.  The food was exquisitely prepared and served.  We had provided to go boxes, and the majority of our guests took some home with them - not leaving us too much but we did get to enjoy it again!
Bernardo is so easy to work with and made excellent suggestions along the way.
One of the guests was a professional wedding photographer for over 30 years, and he said this was one of the best wedding meals he's ever had.  
Thank you so much, Bernardo, for helping to make our wedding so special.

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.

*I wish I took photos of the main course food, but see attached for the dessert station.

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!

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!
