I got married at the Coronado Island Marriott in April 2023. It was the most magical weekend of my life! It was an Indian wedding - 300 guests and had events both Friday and Saturday (3 events total), all held at the Coronado Island Marriott. The views from the wedding site are stunning - you get the water and downtown skyline as your backdrop, and people were stunned. One of our events (Sangeet - Friday night) was at the hotel's Skyline Terrace, and the sunset hitting downtown and the lights in the night were breathtaking. You also get a view of the Coronado bridge. Everywhere you go, there are views. Our guests were raving all weekend about the accommodations. The hotel boasts the biggest hotel rooms in San Diego, and they did not disappoint. They were extremely clean and modern. The biggest bonus was the hotel wasn't huge to where people felt overwhelmed walking from one side to another. It was intimate while still being spacious, and you got the vibe it was my wedding wherever you went in the hotel. The hotel is super close to the ferry to downtown, so when people had free time, some of them would go downtown for food or site-seeing, and come back. It was super easy. The hotel has a spa as well (my husband and I got a couples massage the day after the wedding), which is so tidy and relaxing as well. There's a park nearby, and flamingos on site which I know a lot of the kids loved watching. The Coronado Beach is a 10 min drive (which is where we got some of our wedding pictures done), and a few people spend time there. The hotel also has a wonderful/spacious pool area, which a lot of my friends used. There are also a lot of restaurants walking distance from the hotel, which was nice since each of the families had welcome dinners at separate places - guests didn't have to worry about ubering or walking far distances. There's something for everyone to do/see during down time at or near the hotel. The hotel at the restaurant is called Albaca, and served up some delicious food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all great), and cocktails. My husband loved Albaca's spicy margarita so much when we visited one time, that he decided to make it his signature drink! I know a lot of guests spent time there hanging out. I have to give a shoutout to Kheshini over at the Marriott (Director of Event Planning) who was with us every step of the way - from site tours, to signing, to helping us plan the event, to being there when it all came together. Even if we visited the Marriott unannounced and we let her know we were in town, she'd go out of our way to say hi. She is so friendly, and just the person you'd want helping run your event. She worked with us to try to get everything we wanted, and to make sure that we were happy (ex. I wanted a very specific watermelon vodka for my signature drink, and Kheshini made sure that they were able to find it and order it in time). She was also extremely patient with the questions that came from our parents (which was a lot!). If you're considering booking the Coronado Island Marriott as a wedding venue, I 10/10 would recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed, and I felt like a princess the entire weekend. Everyone there is extremely polite and accommodating, and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and happy on the most important weekend of my life thus far.

We absolutely loved working with the team at the Lane and the venue is incredible. Our vision was to have a modern, glam downtown wedding and our venue was exactly that. We especially loved how customizable the venue is and were able to consider several different layout options. Their required and recommended vendor list is top notch and made it easy to make decisions. There are limited options for taking photos, but the skyline backdrop was so unique and stunning. It was also great to have several hotel options within walking distance.

Kona Kai Resort - The Perfect Wedding Venue!** We recently held our wedding at the Kona Kai Resort, and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. From the planning stages to the big day, the team at Kona Kai went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. Brenna was a standout throughout the entire process. She was incredibly accommodating and provided honest, thoughtful guidance to help us make the best decisions. The tasting portion was a personal highlight—getting to sample the amazing menu options and work directly with the kitchen staff, who went out of their way to answer all of our questions and provide expert recommendations, ensured our wedding meal was nothing short of perfect. On the day of the event, the entire staff at Kona Kai exceeded our expectations. Brenna was on hand to make sure every detail and logistical aspect was squared away, and the rest of the staff—bartenders, waiters, and everyone else involved—were prompt, professional, and friendly. Their seamless coordination allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. Kona Kai is not just a beautiful venue; it’s a place that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We would 10/10 recommend it to anyone looking to host a wedding or large event. Thank you, Kona Kai, for helping create memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

I had my wedding at Tower Beach Club on July 3rd. What a great space! It was literally the right size, space, location, you name it! For our wedding of 75 guests. We did have a wedding planner that helped with everything but Tower Beach Club was very easy to work with throughout the whole process. I would recommend this space in a heartbeat for an affordable venue, it comes with some items already which is really great to be cost effective. It has a beautiful view of the bay, free parking - all around 10/10!
