Best Place and Best Day
•Verified review
•Laura I.•Jun 29, 2024
I got married here at the beginning of June and it was the best day of my life and Forgotten Barrel definitely made it an amazing day. When I first came here to tour the place, Alyssa made me feel like a bride and not just another person looking for a venue. She was easy to work with and definitely was one of the many selling points of picking this venue for our wedding. The day itself was flawless and all our guests had a great time here. We also came at a perfect time of the year because all the flowers were blooming and the place looked extra beautiful. I definitely recommend this place you won't regret it!
THE BEST!

Mikayla and I can not recommend Forgotten Barrel Winery enough for a wedding venue. The process leading up to our wedding was stress free due to the professionalism and diligence of Alyssa who is the venue manager. All of our questions were answered in a timely manner, and the communication between vendors was very reassuring. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch! The entire venue from the getting ready area for both the bride and groom to the reception area and everywhere else in between was beautiful which made for stunning photos all throughout the day. Our guests loved everything about the venue and gave us nothing but positive feed back. My wife and I decided to have an all vegan menu for our wedding and Chef Joann knocked the food out of the ball park! Most of guests weren't vegan but they all raved about the food. Forgotten Barrel is truly THE hidden gem in San Diego for a wedding venue. If you are looking to have an unforgettable wedding; you absolutely MUST check out Forgotten Barrel!!
Fantastic!

We had an amazing experience working with Forgotten Barrel! They were super helpful & communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process. We were planning from afar, so it was super great to already have the DJ, caterer, drinks, and dessert already booked through the venue. Alyssa was great to work with to answer questions and to be a resource to find other vendors in the area. I used their "recommended vendors" list to book our photographer which was also amazing! The food caterer that they use was soooo good, all of our guests raved about the food!
