“ Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center is the best kept secret and absolute jewel of a location for an event. I had my wedding here and you have access to the whole building, terrace, movie theater and amphitheater. It was a JOY working with Janet (operations manager). Perfect venue for amazing views and unique setting great for nature lovers. Maybe the best part is that what you pay to rent the facility goes to the MTRP Foundation to support the park- it's like making a donation! We loved that so much. Thank you for a beautiful venue for our wedding- …”

“ My husband and I just got married last week at the Japanese Friendship Garden (JFG) in Balboa Park, and we are so happy we chose this venue! The garden is absolutely stunning, especially in June. We visited so many venues and the JFG just kept calling to us. We really wanted our wedding to be an experience for our guests. With its natural beauty, there was really no need for much in terms of decorations.
Marina, the venue coordinator, was a joy to work with--always prompt in answering my many questions and very upfront from the beginning about the venue's requirements, …”

“ We had our wedding anniversary at the Prado and it was the dream celebration I wished I'd had for our wedding! FIrst off, the options we were offered for food choices was over the top. Everyone was so accomodating helping us with things. The day of, I felt like a Queen! I never lifted a finger- the staff always made sure I had a drink in my hand, and each time I got up from my chair, I came back to a seat with fresh a fresh napkin. The wait staff is so professional- they are there but not in …”

“ Words truly can't describe how flipping fabulous the Natural History Museum is as a wedding venue. Nathalia and Ciara from the events team were absolute gems and helped bring our vision to life from start to finish. Guests could not stop raving about how cool and unique the space was, it felt like my husband and I in every way. We felt so lucky to celebrate in the heart of Balboa Park, with free parking (a miracle in San Diego), fossils during cocktail hour, and a stunning rooftop for our ceremony. The indoor setup meant we didn’t have to stress …”

“ We chose Building 177 for our wedding because we wanted a blank canvas that fit our minimal, modern aesthetic. I still remember the way my eyes lit up when we first saw it in person—my husband reminds me of it to this day. The venue itself is stunning, with gorgeous lighting and beautiful surrounding areas for photos, making it easy to bring our vision to life.
Now, onto the team. From the moment we toured to the very end of our event, everyone was incredibly helpful. Without a planner, I truly appreciated Dayna’s guidance—she made the planning process so much smoother …”

“ Julep was the perfect sized wedding venue for our guest of 150. We loved that the design of the space was so clean and spacious, it was the perfect blank canvas for our how we wanted to make the space., while still having a character of its own. We also loved that we could hold the ceremony and reception in the same area. We had a number of elderlies in both sides of our families so it was really important to us that they didn't need to be moved from one location to another, and make sure that the space …”

“ After touring several venues, we ended up choosing the very first one we saw—The Lane—and it was absolutely the right call. The venue gave our wedding the exact look and feel we had hoped for: modern, clean, coastal, and elevated without ever feeling formal or stuffy.
From the start, we were drawn to The Lane’s gorgeous indoor/outdoor layout, its location close to the airport (super convenient for guests!), extended rental hours (12p–12a), and the fact that tables and chairs were included in the price—all at a very reasonable rate. Another huge plus: its direct connection to multiple hotels, which made setting …”
