Our Most Picturesque First Look Locations | Unique San Diego Event Venues

 

Our Ranch is overflowing with unique and gorgeous locations that are perfect for must-have moments!

 

Tucked away between the Hacienda Courtyard and the Washhouse Patio, where we have our ceremonies, there’s a quiet garden featuring charming original architecture and an array of natural beauty.

Perfect for photographers to grab multiple angles and quick-action approach shots, this secret location is ideal for the couple who want as much detail of this must-have moment recorded.

Just through the gate seen in the pictures before, classic desert foliage unique to our Ranch’s rustic vibe frames the front of our stunning Hacienda.

Through the front entry to the Hacienda, the courtyard hosts a spectacular stone arch draped in vibrant burgundy bougainvillea.

A perfect spot for those with lots of pinks and warm tones to their overall event motif!

Crazy for more wild desert beauty? On the way to the historic Caretaker’s Cottage, check out the enormous Blue Agave plants on the right!

These plants create the most stunning boho backdrop for a First Look.

It’s nearly impossible to miss our lovely restored Stables.

This space has two sides that are shaded and have lots of space for photographers to find those dramatic angles.

On the Stable’s side closest to the visitor’s Center, this intimate hall is striking and perfect for an artsy couple with a love of bright colors and a right eye for contrast!

(We like to imagine you could almost pass this off as a private villa on the cliffs of Greece.)

There are countless locations around the Ranch for your perfect First Look!

No matter where you turn, gorgeous rustic architecture, natural wild desert beauty, and opportunities for must-have moments are all around!

 

 

The Stables are Dressed to Impress and Ready to Party!! | Leo Carrillo Ranch Weddings

 

We got together with some of our favorite preferred vendors

and asked them to unleash some of their most exciting ideas on our brand new venue!

This indoor/outdoor Leo Carrillo Event Venue is going to be utilized during our slow season from about the middle of November to the middle of March.

It offers an enclosed space perfect for the changeable Carlsbad Winter weather.

The indoor space is highly versatile and can be flipped throughout the event for whatever we need

from ceremony to dining, and finally to dancing.

Vintage barn windows can be opened to view the main floor, where the ceremony and dining area will be, from above.

Guests will enter the main floor either through the front door below and to the right of the Bridal Suite or through the broad corral side entrance.

Wheelchair access is on the opposite end, closest to the top of where the aisle would be.

The room is bright, airy, and rustic with original exposed stone and brick, beautiful wooden beams, and crisp white walls.

It has so much of the historic character that we love here at the Ranch with just a touch of modernity to make it feel fresh and clean.

It’s cheerful, welcoming, and most importantly a blank canvas just waiting to be filled by an artistic

dream-event manifestation.

One of our preferred vendors, Simply Adina Floral Design, used all the open space available to create this majestic bo-ho flower arch.
