Super special venue in a great location
We have so many good things to say about the Ole Firehouse, we’re not sure where to start. In a gorgeous location with mountain and lake views, the Ole Firehouse is just a short drive from Julian. The venue has a HUGE amount of space inside and out—in addition to the main indoor-outdoor area, there’s a getting-ready room upstairs, a fully functional kitchen for any catering needs, plenty of parking, and a beautiful outdoor deck. The staff is easy to work with and very relaxed, which was such a pleasant change from other venues that insist on monitoring your every move. Getting to access the venue for three days for set-up and tear-down was also a game-changer. And finally, all of these amenities—including tables and chairs—came at a seriously amazing price. Bottom line: if you want a stress-free, beautiful space to host a wedding or a reception, book the Ole Firehouse ASAP! We feel so fortunate that we were able to celebrate our special day in this one-of-a-kind venue.
Million Dollar Venue View
Do NOT sleep on this beautiful venue! The space is perfect for indoor, outdoor, and deck option. We used all areas and had the most amazing views on every side! Not only is it an amazing venue, with flexibility in vendors, time, etc but a friendly team! Oh and a full kitchen, storage, and bridal suite with AC!
Response from vendor•Oct 1, 2024Thank you, Linda! We're so happy that we could partner with you on making your special day a beautiful, lasting memory!Wedding at The Ole Firehouse & Lake Cuyamaca
From the beginning, we instantly fell in love with the venue and location. As we drove up to the venue for the tour, we began envisioning our wedding and knew this is where we wanted to get married. Lake Cuyamaca has a special place in our hearts and we were so excited to be able to share it’s beauty with our guest. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the lake! Additionally, the weekend of our wedding, we stayed at the Lakeview cabins at Lake Cuyamaca. The stay was very pleasant and convenient. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains was breathtaking. The staff was very helpful and responsive! As the months turned into weeks, they were checking in with us to make sure we had all things accounted for. It’s only 3 months out from our wedding and we’re already hosting another event!
Response from vendor•Oct 1, 2024Thank you, Gomez family! A true testament of your love for the venue was the fact that you came back to celebrate a family member's 50th birthday! What fun! Thank you :)
