Villa San Giovese - Jamul, California

Emma Carlborg

I had my wedding here and it was absolutely perfect! The experience from start to finish was magical- it’s the perfect San Diego wedding venue. Sweeping views, stunning Italian architecture, beautiful bridal suite- it had it all. Saved a bunch on decor since the venue didn’t need dressing up at all. They even partner with their neighbors airbnb so my family had a place to stay RIGHT next to the venue. Would recommend!! 10/10

I had the absolute pleasure of planning the very 1st wedding at Villa San Giovese with Emma & Josh. I cannot say enough about this stunning venue! Nestled in Jamul, with breathtaking views of the preserve, this place is truly a hidden gem.

The staff at Villa San Giovese are not only professional but also incredibly fun to work with. We had an unforgettable experience, and Emma was the definition of a next-level, stunning bride! Her jaw-dropping surprise performance for Josh left us all completely amazed. Emma, you’re a truly talented artist!

This venue is absolutely perfect for San Diego weddings and I can’t wait to return with another couple. Bruno, the co-owner, is fantastic—his warm personality and passion for the venue make every visit a delight. Wishing you all the best for the new wedding season. Keep those good vibes going—it’s a blessing to celebrate love in such a beautiful space!

The landscaping is meticulously maintained, with lush citrus and pomegranate trees that provide a beautiful backdrop for photos.

I recently had the joy of helping my friend find the perfect wedding venue, and let me tell you, we struck gold with Villa San Giovese Estate & Vineyard! Nestled in the picturesque Jamul area, and a stones throw from the San Diego International Airport, this stunning 3.5-acre estate feels like a hidden gem straight out of a storybook.

As soon as we arrived, we were absolutely enchanted by the property’s beauty. The gardens are a floral paradise, bursting with fragrant roses, delicate lavender, and lush fruit trees. It’s the kind of place that takes your breath away and makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. I could easily picture my friend walking down the aisle beneath the charming Italian alter, with the sun setting behind her and the breathtaking views of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge as a backdrop. It was pure magic!

What truly sets Villa San Giovese apart is the incredible warmth and responsiveness of the owners. From our very first contact, they welcomed us with open arms, eager to help make my friend’s wedding dreams come to life. Their genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences is palpable, and they answered every question with enthusiasm and care. Their extensive wedding packages, which include complimentary décor, setup, and breakdown, made the planning process feel effortless and enjoyable—such a blessing for any couple!

One of the highlights for us was the luxurious on-site accommodations. The estate features a beautiful 5-bedroom home with a sparkling pool, just steps away from the main venue. It’s the perfect retreat for family and friends to unwind, ensuring everyone can be part of the celebration. And with a recently renovated Italian kitchen and a private changing room for the couple, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance the experience.

If you’re helping a friend search for a wedding venue, I can’t recommend Villa San Giovese Estate & Vineyard highly enough. It’s a breathtaking destination where dreams come true, and I just know my friend will have the wedding of her dreams there—filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories!
