San Diego County Swiss Club

worst service ever. dan and larry are nothing but a bunch of last minute slackers. it takes calling the police in front of them to get your money back. we had to demand our money back even though they didnt meet any of the deadlines and they definetly dont return ur calls or even answer the phone at all that way they can con u out of the deposit aince they dont meet their deadlines just so you know call the cops if you want yohr deposit back thats the only way to get it back when they fall short bunch of bitches

Well first of all I really didn’t want to rate this place that low but after what happened I have no choice. We really got a great deal but boy did we pay for it in the end. I guess we were misquoted and because of that the bar was short staffed and the same folks who served us were the same folks who had to bus our tables. We sat there for almost an hour with our dirty plates in front of us. Yes the hall was beautiful, they were kind enough to include the centerpieces and vases for the candy bar. I know that when we were signing the contract I told him no worries you are going to be taken care of cause the bar would be used and it would be beneficial to have a cash bar verses including beer and wine for us. We were very disappointed with the overall service.

Wow Wow Wow Wow !!! Blame it on post-​wedding high but did Swiss Park deliver !!! Larry and the staff were nothing short of accommodating and super-​helpful and just all-​around professionally fabulous. Our wedding went off 1000% perfectly, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the awesome DJ’s, to the food! I am a very-​detailed planner that can go cray with spreadsheets and timelines, and the Swiss Park staff, especially Larry, was super-​patient with me, answered absolutely all my questions, and went above and beyond! My husband and I are SO happy we did our wedding there, and would 2000% recommend anyone to do their weddings/​events/​parties at Swiss Park !!!

This park has club events AND it’s open to the public to rent as a party hall.
I really love the events here. I’ve been coming since I was a a baby. They’re all Swiss cultural events that are open to the public, not just to members. There is Swiss Independence Day on August 1^st, the Christmas party, and lots of fondue picnics. If you’ve never been to an event here, you should go to the Schwingfest. It’s a Swiss-​style wrestling competition that’s held every June. There are games for kids and adults and really inexpensive bratwurst meals. There are even games where you can win wine or good Swiss cheeses. The beer and wine is really affordable too. Ask for «spaten» at the bar, it’s a good imported beer that they sometimes have.
My family also booked a party here last year. The new management is great! We decided to have the park cater instead of an outside company and I’m glad we did because the food was really great! I loved their red pepper soup, the pasta, and the Mexican food.

Hey Dan O., I’m really glad to hear that you guys took over because those other guys were horrible and it sucked to cancel a b-​day party 1 week before the actual party. If u did have a file it would have been under Kimberly and the party was for Jacob.. Thanks Alot

We had our wedding there recently and the service was actually pretty good. They were very accommodating. When we looked at the reviews, we were very concerned but they advertised themselves as under new management. In the end, everything turned out great. We had lots of fun.

We recently had a wedding here, i would not recommend for a wedding! the grounds were full of dog doo! the room was over priced. and the food was like school cafeteria, no presentation just rolled out on undecorated carts. the carpet was filthy. the flowers however were fantastic! I as a food and beverage coordinator would not suggest this place for a wedding .Very unprofessional! Martha was very unprofessional to deal with. we had a prepaid bar and they supplied us with 1 bartender for 125 guests ppl were in line forever. dishes were not removed from the table in a timely manner and only 1 person was doing this. not sure who he was as he was not dress for the occasion, dressed in jeans and t shirt!

When searching for a venue for our wedding, I suddenly remembered something like a «Swiss Park» from my Middle School «8^th grade graduation party». My husband and I asked around and one of our friends remembered the place! the San Diego County Swiss Club.
It’s quite a large place, able to accommodate weddings with 400 guests, so it was more than enough for our small wedding of about 80. Marlene and her fluffy white dog were very friendly, helping us plan out the least expensive option for renting the venue. For us, since we were asking for 6 hours and the use of the grounds and the dining hall, and we wanted outside catering, this ran to about $ 5k. She even waived the kitchen fee for us.
On the other hand, there’s Martha. While I’m sure she’s a nice enough lady, she was kind of standoffish and made us feel sort of uneasy at times. She was the one to call us about financial «miscalculations» and that just made her feel like the «muscle» to a mob boss :(My family (during rehearsal and setup the day of) described her as sort of rushed and rude, and I can’t help but sympathize with their feelings. She does seem like she’s on top of things though and gets the job done (Whatever her job may be… I’m still not clear on what she does aside from «help» Marlene…)
Another snag in the wedding set up was the bar. We had thought we could put down a few hundred dollars to cover the bar for our guests, but the minimum payment was $ 500! That’s 100 drinks for 80 guests! 2/​3rds of them of them being underaged or non-​drinkers! I wish they could’ve worked something out for smaller crowds. It felt tacky to have a cash bar…
Overall, I think this is a great place for weddings or events. It makes for great photo ops outdoors, and indoors as well once decorated. Plus, it’s nice on your wallet. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and loved ones. Now, here’s hoping we get our deposit back soon!
