We couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! Lindy is honestly a superhero - she…read moretook us under her wing from day one and helped us every single step of the way, never once putting any pressure on and always being on hand at any time for any questions or sudden bridal stresses! She keeps a cool head and always has a huge smile on her face, I felt as if I'd known her for years after the very first meeting! She helped every step of the way, from planning, to suggesting vendors like the DJ and officiant, to helping with set-up and adding her own little touches to the tables. On the day, Lindy helped calm me down when I was nervous, kept everyone in touch among the two parties when we were getting ready, but while she worked she stayed so under the radar, quietly and almost unseen just cleaning up and making sure everything was running smoothly; I cannot sing Lindy's praises enough! The venue itself is sublime - rustic, beautiful, intimate but open and with plenty of space for any party. We had around 50 guests which is way below capacity but the way Lindy and her team arranged the tables made it feel just right. For a fairly cold evening (January wedding), the fire pit and the two heaters they provided were most welcome! We even had a most welcome and blessed visit from site cat Ninja who was a big hit! Everything was just utterly perfect, all our guests said this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue, you will not find a more perfect place than Quail Haven. Thank you so much for everything Lindy!

It felt intimate but spacious, with lots of options on where to hang out during the event. This place is a gem - so many people kept asking, "How did you find this place?!" We're so glad we did! We went with the barbecue dinner buffet option and folks were raving about it. There was more than enough to go around with lots of people getting seconds. We also opted for the flatbread pizza option during cocktail hour and did NOT regret it. The venue is already so gorgeous with all the lush greenery and flowers. We added lots of our own touches like Mexican flags, cacti on tables, table runners, etc. It was so much fun to be able to dress up the venue to reflect our personalities. Emily has the venue running like a well oiled machine. She's super easy to work with and patient. I'm so, so glad we found Slate Barn and Gardens for our wedding.

Our day was beyond beautiful we want to relive it! Ok some details for you brides to be and grooms to be: Emily and her team are so accommodating from start to finish. She handles everything from table set up and venue prep to the center pieces. They have a great selection of candle holders, decor items and linen colors for everyones style. There is a brides suite on the grounds, sorry guys you'll have to chill somewhere else. Its cozy and fit all 9 of us girls in it! THE FOOD. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was. We were so happy with all the different menu options, we were able to accommodate all different types of diets in one swoop. Emily plans all of the venue side of the day, all you bring in your drinks, a DJ and florals. We had the best vendors make our day come to life. We can not thank the crew enough for making our experience a stress free and amazing experience. THANK YOU!

If I could give this wedding venue zero stars, I would…read more As the groom, I was involved in every part of planning our wedding at The Havens, and there are things about this experience that still genuinely bother me. First, what wedding venue asks for a deposit before giving you a contract? We had to put our money down before we could even read the terms because, at the time, we simply didn't know any better. When my now-wife later asked what would happen if we decided not to sign, we were told we would not get our money back. That is an incredibly unfair position to put a couple in, especially when you are planning one of the biggest and most expensive days of your life. The rental situation is where things really started to feel wrong. During our tour, we were given the impression that the ballroom could comfortably accommodate 300 guests. After signing, we were told that our 200 guests would actually be "too tight" with their chairs and that we would need narrower chairs through their rental process. We were told they handled rentals because they wanted to help us get the best prices. We trusted that. Instead, we were given rental prices significantly higher than what we were finding elsewhere, with charges presented as things like "delivery and tax." When we asked if The Havens took a cut of the rentals, they said no. We then asked for the actual rental company invoices, and they refused to provide them. If you aren't taking a cut, why hide the invoice? After we cancelled, we pushed for an honest answer and they finally admitted that they do take a cut, something that was never disclosed in our contract. And on top of that, they wanted to charge us nearly two thousand dollars to store their own chairs! At that point, it was hard not to feel like we had been maneuvered into a system that financially benefited The Havens while we were left paying the price. When we raised our concerns, they took no accountability. They were also incredibly unprofessional with our wedding planner, who was simply trying to advocate for us. The hardest part was watching what all of this did to my wife. There were too many nights filled with stress, frustration, and tears over something that should have been one of the happiest times of our lives. I watched her excitement about being a bride turn into anxiety about dealing with The Havens. I ultimately knew this was not what I wanted for our wedding, and it certainly was not what I wanted for my bride. Walking away was the best decision we made for our wedding, but I cannot reconcile the emotional and financial toll this experience put us through. I am a business owner myself, and I cannot imagine treating a customer this way. When someone brings a legitimate concern to me, I work to make it right. I have refunded customers plenty of times because doing the right thing matters more than keeping the money. I genuinely do not understand how The Havens can continue defending what happened instead of taking accountability and making things right. I sincerely hope The Havens takes a moment to reflect on what this experience has put my wife, myself, and our families through and chooses to do the right thing by finally giving us the resolution and closure we deserve.

My only wish is that they stayed open past 7pm in the summer so you can stay for the sunset. I went on Sunday though, so maybe on Fri/Sat they are open later.

There are two parking lots that we saw, one closer to the bottom which was gravel but would require a walk up two flights of stairs, or there's a lot closer to the tasting room (paved) but is more limited. We were able to snag a spot up at the top luckily. They have a two sample limit & then you can buy drinks by the bottle or glass. The day we went they were having a 25% off bottle sale. There was only one employee we saw during the entirety of our visit but he was super friendly. We ordered a bottle, the charcuterie platter and a pizza. The charcuterie board is refrigerated and they provide a bag of crackers as well. We went with the veggie pizza & it took maybe 20 minutes to come out and was absolutely delicious. The grounds themselves are absolutely gorgeous. There are 3 covered areas to sit at up top with plenty of seating. Down the first flight of stairs has a fish pond and some beautiful areas to walk around. I'm not sure if that area was where they do weddings as there was also a spot across the way with a dais, but we didn't make it over there. The wine was delicious! We tried two of the whites and the sweet rosé. I'm not normally a rosé fan, but it was my favorite wine I had there. Overall we had a really relaxing time with beautiful views. I highly recommend checking out Sunshine Mountain Vineyard.

The venue itself was beautiful and many of our friends told us during the night that they would have gotten married here if they had known about it for their weddings. Every member of the staff was so helpful and two steps ahead of every single one of our needs for the day before we even knew we needed them.

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.

The property is absolutely stunning, with well maintained grounds, ample parking, a spacious, air conditioned bridal suite with mirrored walls, clothes racks, and an ironing board. The suite even has its own bathroom. The venue has a decent sized dance floor along with enough room inside to seat close to 200 guests. The bathrooms were clean and had multiple stalls to accommodate the ladies. There is also a huge kitchen with a walk in frig that is available for use as part of your rental. We had approximately 250+ guests attend our event and there was plenty of space in the back lawn area for over flow seating. We used the outdoor patio area to set up 4 buffet lines of food. 2 lines for our catered meal, 1 line for kids meal, and 1 line for our cultural foods. The patio area also had ample room for us to place our photo booth there. The back grass and patio area looks spectacular at night with the market lights to add to the festive ambiance. The grounds were large enough to house an adult sized jumper that helped to keep our younger guests entertained. The grass area still had plenty of available space for a corn hole spot, our marquee letter signs and our taco guy we hired to end our night's festivities. Shannon is the property manager, and she is a true gem. She worked tirelessly with us to help obtain all our vendor COIs and was extremely kind to allow us to come the day before our party to drop off our drinks and many party supplies. Anything we needed, Shannon was there to help resolve. She is friendly and professional, with a sense of humor to boot. We received sooo many compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the venue was. Of course, anyone who dealt with Shannon adored her and her down to earth vibe! We loved that we could bring our own food to the venue without being tied to a set list of food vendors. The bar area was also spacious and the bartender kept the libations flowing all night long. The Optimist Club has 3 belly tables with linens that came with rental of the venue. These worked out fabulously for our guests wanting to hang out by the bar and smoking area. We highly recommend the Vista Optimist Club for your next large family gathering. Our sincere thanks to Shannon for helping to make our party a huge success!
