My husband and I can't say enough great things about Cuvier! This venue is so beautiful and is conveniently located near the wedding bowl. This venue was ideal for us as most guests were coming from the east coast and is less than a 30 minute drive from the airport. The reception hall is beautifully decorated for every event, so you don't need to worry about excessive rentals. The florist, baker, and DJ included in the premier package were all spectacular, and our guests raved about the bartender! Wedgewood's packages are super customizable and are a GREAT value for all you get at Cuvier. They even threw in a few free enhancements along the way, and you don't even need a final guest count until 10 days out. The planning team is amazing and is super attentive and responsive. About a month after booking, we discovered we would be expecting and the team was so accommodating, even offering to shift our date as far as 10 months out. We ended up following through with our original date, and the team made sure that I still got the full experience with N/A signature drinks and cider. We loved our day of coordinators Bri and Amanda who made sure everything went smoothly! Choosing Cuvier was easily the best decision of our wedding planning experience!

We loved having our wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club. The venue was very prompt and easy to communicate with during the planning process, which helped make things stress-free. The space itself is clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained - perfect for both our ceremony and reception. A highlight was using their grand piano on stage during our mother daughter dance. It was a special moment. They also made the rental process smooth by offering most items directly through their preferred vendor. Overall, fantastic service and great value for a San Diego wedding venue. The stunning architecture and coastal views provided a perfect backdrop for our big day.

I cannot stop raving about this venue and the whole event planning team. We had such an amazing experience having out wedding at the Horton Grand Hotel, it makes me want to do it all over again. The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day. Plan your wedding today at the Horton Grand Hotel, you definitely won't regret it!!

This venue was one of TWO venues that fiancee and I even considered. Not only are they an affordable event space, their staff is just absolutely incredible. They space itself is PERFECT for those who want a lower light, romantic setting with a rustic feel. Wine barrels galore! And the open floor plan really helps with making the space your own for a little bit. It was really easy to map out everything you needed for the day. The BEST part was this venue has indoor/outdoor space. Perfect for those who want to stay warm, while also perfect for those who needed to get some fresh air. This is a major selling point if you plan on getting married in SD since this venue is close to the water. Personable hosts, very professional. They offered glasses of wine to us every time we did a site visit. Extremely communicative and flexible to work with your schedule if need be. Marlene was our wedding coordinator and she really did everything she could to make our day so special. She knows what it's like when they say, "Treat your guests like family"... She made you feel right at home! She will do everything within her power to make you feel at ease. There was not one time I felt concerned. Our bartender, Bryan, was the SWEETEST! He would make your drink and just talk with you like he knew you already. Our guests absolutely loved him. Even if you're not planning a wedding, I would recommend this spot to friends and family for other types of events, for sure. Such a classy establishment with the FRIENDLIEST people.

We hosted our daughter’s wedding last weekend. The venue is literally the perfect setting for a wedding and we received exuberant praise all evening for how beautifully magical everything was. I believe that our event was their largest to date (240), which meant that we had to split the ceremony and reception between the lower and upper gardens. Initially, we were concerned about having to make our guests trek from bottom to the top gardens (or take the provided shuttle), but this provided the guests with a charming walk through the gardens to gain an added element of beauty to the night. Marina, the event lead, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Having a different starting location from the ending can be tricky (especially with a lesser know entry way), but the detailed instructions and maps that Marina provided proved to be extremely helpful in guiding everyone.

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 your face. Everything we needed or wanted was handled for us.

We loved having our wedding reception at the museum! It was a unique venue, bright, and spacious. It’s an experience we (and our guests) still talk about almost 6 years later. It was a stress free wedding as Jenny (venue coordinator) was so easy to work with and very helpful in coordinating with all of our vendors and day of wedding coordinator. The museum has an approved list of vendors, and made suggestions that made the night even more special (like keeping the dinosaur skeleton out during the reception!) The cocktail hour was held on the second level, and the guests were able to walk through the exhibits. The reception was on the first level which was spacious.

Kheshini at the Coronado Marriott was an exceptional partner in helping us create the wedding of our dreams. She was so organized, professional, and empathetic throughout our entire 1 year planning timeline and it always felt like she was "on my team." We worked with numerous vendors and event professionals throughout wedding planning, and Kheshini was always one of our favorites. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are so appreciative for all of her help. The venue is beautiful. Other than the steak being overcooked & the salad being incorrect, our wedding at the Marriott was wonderful.

From the moment we booked Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery for our wedding, Alan and Mari provided detailed and timely communication every step of the way. Their gorgeous venue with lush live plants and moody lighting created the perfect moody October atmosphere for our special day. The outdoor patio was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the amazing cocktails and drinks they served were a huge hit with our guests. Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.
