The Old Rancho

The Old Rancho is a wedding and special event venue on a historic property built in the 1840s, known for its country-like ranch yard setting. The website describes it as the oldest privately owned home in San Diego's North County. Weddings include catering by Personal Touch Dining, which is part of the venue fee.

Tours are by appointment only and walk-ins are not accepted. The property is in Carlsbad, a few minutes from the freeway, downtown and the beach, and the venue offers a day-of coordinator as part of its wedding service. Couples request details and check availability through the venue's website.
