    Our setup inside the barn - almost everything provided by The Slate Barn!

    We were looking for a beautiful, private, and affordable wedding venue, which seemed impossible to find. After hours of stressful online searching and a bunch of disappointing visits to other venues, I finally found The Slate Barn. After meeting with Emily for a tour of the venue and to discuss details, we knew we'd found the perfect place. The garden lawn for the ceremony and the poolside patio are beautifully maintained and colorful. The reception barn has such a romantic/rustic vibe with market lights strung from the ceilings, candles everywhere and the cool metal walls. They have a lot of great decorations on hand available for your use, as well as all the tables/chairs/linens, and even a couple lawn games which were a huge hit during cocktail hour. They even handle the catering! It made things SO much easier to have all of this taken care of for us. The food is cooked up onsite and is AMAZING. We had guests telling it was the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding. The staff (catering, bartender, day-of coordinator) were completely on top of everything, so we were able to just enjoy the day knowing our guests were taken care of. Working with Emily made it possible for us to have exactly the wedding we wanted while staying within our reasonable budget and with as little stress as possible. Thanks so much for taking care of us!

    This venue had everything we wanted! Emily answered all our questions on time and was really really helpful. She gave recommendations and shes also a florist and our flowers were wonderful! Unless you wanted specific decor, all the decorations were also included. The food was delicious and was enough for everybody. There was also a bridal suite available for the bridal or the groom party. Even though there was no parking on site, shuttle was available for pick up and drop off. Emily and her team gave us the dream wedding weve always wanted and everything was EXACTLY the way she had promised! Thank you for an unforgettable day!

    The cheeses they served during the cocktail hour were tasty, especially the crumbly cheese.

    Celebrating our daughter's 18th Birthday/Debut at the Vistonian Venue in Vista, CA was the best…read moredecision we made during the entire event planning process -- and it almost didn't happen. Initially, we were scheduled to hold her special day at a venue aboard Camp Pendleton, however, with the current state of... everything... we made the decision to start looking elsewhere for a venue out in town. My daughter and I were vendors at an event a couple weeks prior and fell in love with the look and feel of the Vistonian. Once we realized that having the her party on base was no longer an option, the first place we looked was this downtown Vista gem. The location was major. Moving it off base, alleviated the stress of having to worry about guests not being able to attend due to security restrictions, there was ample parking, the venue was partially decorated in the style that we were hoping to capture, we were able to bring in our own catering, vendors were able to access and move about the venue with ease, and working with Shelly Firth made for a stress-free, accommodating, professional experience. The Vistonian Venue offers a rustic, refined, Boho, modern, minimalistic aesthetic that fit perfectly with our rustic tropical Philippines Filipina vision we had for the party. The luscious greens throughout the venue helped to minimize the amount of greenery we had to bring in to curate the vibe. The open, high ceilings with exposed beams and tasteful touches of modern wood elements also added to the ambiance we were hoping to achieve. As our coordinator, Shelly was amazing. She worked with my desired layout so that the day of the event we walked in and start setting up without hang-ups. It made it a lot easier for everyone involved in set-up on our side. During the event, the restrooms stayed clean, the trash levels were maintained, and as the go-to gal, even I was able to relax, visit with guests, and enjoy the special evening. When I share with others about the Vistonian Venue, the first thing I say is that it was truly serendipitous. It played out exactly as it should have. For it to work out the way that it did, made it better than I could have possibly imagined. Reflecting on the night, the first adjective that comes to mind is FUN. Everyone had fun, especially the birthday girl.

Upon arrival we were greeted, given a succulent and tickets. The Dickinson Family atrium is a fabulous space with hanging plants and so many examples of indoor/rainforest plants. We walked the entire grounds!! My fitness tracker said it took me two hours to walk two miles- I kept stopping to take pictures and read the plant placards. We walked around though many different gardens. From the rainforest of Africa and past the waterfall to the desert area with native plants. There was an example of a Native American village complete with hut and grinding stone. We hiked up to the look out point where you can see the Pacific Ocean. There is a children's garden, playhouse, and a sandbox with toys. There are walking trails through out and many benches. I highly recommend bringing water, a hat, sunscreen and snacks. There is a small gift shop with a small selection of snacks. They have a large selection of plants to purchase!!

The women at the front desk kept asking millions questions and expressing unreasonably doubts. Ny kids and I felt like being on lie detector.Very humiliating feeling. After finally being admitted, we left shortly. Our experience were ruined.It was no place for enjoyment. Very bitter,sad feeling... I didn't know people can be so mean at botanical gardens. This woman should work somewhere else,like border patrol or security check point. It would be better for everyone. Never come back to this place.
