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.

Contact Emily and her team now because the perfect spot to say I Do is right here. We looked at 4 maybe 5 local san diego venues and all of them were missing one must need list item on our wish list. We wanted an all included, open bar with beer/wine/and liquor, and for the space to feel intimate. We found all these checklist items with The Slate Barn & Gardens. 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!

Perfect location near grocery stores, pharmacy and the mall. You can have a small or large event here. They include chairs and tables and a moveable bar. There is a kitchen and plenty of place for at least 150 people. You can have a DJ, a Photo Booth and all kinds of extras for an extra charge. I didn't take pics inside because they were getting ready for an event and I didn't want the little one in the pic. There was also a kids room separate from the main room. Nice place. The lady who showed me around was very nice. Have people decorate well and the place can be magical. It's definitely a contender.

The Woodshed ended up being an awesome space for it and we couldn't recommend it enough. First off, Anndrea was a pleasure to work with. She toured the venue with us, answering all of our questions the day of and afterwards. She was quick to respond and very friendly throughout the entire time. Shoutout to Tiffany as well, who was able to help us out on the day of the event, and helped to bar tend. The venue itself is also such a fun space, with fun accents, such as the live plant wall and the fun tap handles. We created a Spotify playlist that we were able to play using the venue speakers, and we even used the projector screen that they had to play our Nintendo Switch games during the welcome party. Street parking was plentiful and our guests ended up loving the venue as well. We would highly recommend the Woodshed for anyone looking for a fun space to host a gathering or party!

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.

I recently attended a dinner here. I was always curious what the shadow Ridge golf club looked like…read moreinside and it was what I expected. It's kind of an older building that they've revamped a little but it's nice for a neighborhood club. Dinner was started with dinner rolls that were warm and tasty and served with soft butter. Next, we were served a salad, which was good, but mine didn't have enough dressing whilst the person next to me had a lot of dressing. Next, I the filet had ordered the fillet mignon. It came with mashed potatoes and veggies. The fillet was cooked well (perfectly medium rare) with an accompanying sauce that complimented it. The veggies were quite crunchy, but I like my veggies that way, and the mashed potatoes tasted very buttery, which I also like. My one drawback was the strawberry cheesecake. It had a freezer burn taste to it. Otherwise, everything was delicious and the space is quite nice. The service quick and efficient. I would definitely return again if I knew someone who was a member.
