My wife and I had the most amazing experience with Wedgewood weddings. Every person we worked with was phenomenal our wedding coordinator Sammy was amazing, along with everybody else and their staff. DJ G-Bass could not have been any better. The floral was beautiful, the cake was delicious and people are still talking about the food. The photographers and videographer did such a great job and I’m sure we will be using them again for other events. It was everything we could’ve ever wished for. We cannot think everybody involved enough. I will highly recommend every vendor we used, and Wedgewood weddings for anybody who asks.

A grand bridal parlor and vintage gentlemen’s speakeasy, outfitted with timeless, charming accents and furnishings, provide the perfect scenery for your preparations before reciting your vows in one of our three breathtaking ceremony spaces.

We had a great experience with Trademark at GG. It’s a semi all inclusive venue so they provided a planner (we had Courtney, she was great!) set up meetings throughout the planning process to go over timeline, details & food. The food was amazing as well! We did family style. The venue was stunning, especially at night. I highly recommend working with Trademark at any of their venues.

La Jolla Woman's Club

5.0

La Jolla, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

La Jolla Woman’s Club is located in the heart of La Jolla Village, one block from the ocean. With its exquisite private gardens, historic Irving Gill building and ocean view, the club is a magical setting for any special occasion. The club hosts private events such as weddings, non-profit fundraisers, receptions, lectures, dinners, holiday parties, celebrations of life, retreats and educational meetings.

My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!

My husband and I got married on July 15th and did the ceremony at the Wedding Bowl and the reception at the Cuvier Club. Both were outstanding! We worked with Federico as a wedding coordinator and he was great. Very friendly, responded to our emails quickly, attentive to detail, and professional. Not to mention, he was very generous and lent us his cake cutting set, met with us on his Friday night to accommodate our time difference (we live in Tokyo, Japan), and checked up on us throughout the night. We loved the all-inclusive package too! It made planning the wedding very easy and all of the vendors were great. The food was outstanding too. We recommend the ahi tuna appetizer and the short rib and sesame soy glazed salmon. Our vegetarian guests were very satisfied with their meals too. The Cuvier Club is a great venue too. It’s pretty inside and has plenty of room for dancing. Plus, our guests liked having the option to go out on the patio to cool off if they needed a break from dancing. Wonderful day! Couldn’t have asked for more.

The event staff at Shadowridge Golf Club went above and beyond to help me put my wedding day vision together. I had to postpone twice due to COVID and they were supportive every step of the way. They are professional, experts in this field and compassionate, which is exactly what I needed for the biggest day of my life. Everything from the ceremony site to the reception hall to the food & drinks and their vendor list is all top notch. I have received nothing but compliments from all who attended which is more than I could ask for. Weddings are hard but Codie Anderson, the Event Director, made it so easy. I highly recommend choosing this venue to host your big day. You will not be disappointed.

The Prado at Balboa Park is a National Historic Landmark which was originally built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. This two year festival was held in Balboa Park to promote San Diego and to celebrate the 1914 opening of the Panama Canal.

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 your face. Everything we needed or wanted was handled for us. We have an event company, so have many contacts in the industry, and we chose to have our big party at the Prado because we knew we would be taken care of. We were not let down!
