Southern California Wedding Location

AnnR · 12-19-2006, 02:24 PM

I am posting this info. here because there's no other forum for CA weddings! When Paul and I were still trying to decide on a location, this is one we seriously considered. It's in San Diego, CA, and it's beautiful! We just decided we wanted to get married in Mexico instead.

I spoke with the wedding coordinator here, and she was very nice. She gave me these 2 packets, which are for 2006, but should give a good idea of what they offer.

I went to College in San Diego and this is one of the most beautiful spots in San Diego, its on Coronado Island and the weather is great year round.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about this resort! And the WC told me there are plenty of less expensive alternatives around for those that were on a budget.

Tammy (host) - should we start a S. Cal thread?

I can HIGHLY recommend Estancia in La Jolla. It's a newer hotel (2-3 years old) with spacious rooms and very pretty grounds. Luxury Hotels San Diego California | Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa | California Day Spa Resorts

I live in SD and we hosted New Years there last year for 25 people. Note, this is not on the beach, but it is a beautiful hotel and the grounds just feel awesome.

I like the Del - we've had a few corporate parties there.It's great for a very formal, large wedding (it's huge). The rooms are older so it's not luxurious feeling, but the grounds are absolutely gorgeous.

If anyone decides to have a wedding in SD - I can help with photographers and I can comment on food, hotel quality, whether a hotel is set up for a wedding, and overall ambiance. I don't know of any coordinators here though. Also, I scouted for our wedding and have attended many weddings over the years, so I know of some other areas (like on the various beaches) where you could consider having your ceremony.
