If you're looking for great Chinese seafood dishes for a big banquet, this is your space. We booked in advanced a few months and Randy, the manager helped us through the full process. We had a dance floor, 13 tables (10 seats per table) and wonderful food for all our guests to enjoy. Jasmine met our expectations and then some. As the bride, I had selfish allergy, but the peking duck and steak cubes I had, was amazing. From the amount of guests we had and the feedback we got, everyone LOVED the food. We hope more people give Jasmine a try as their wedding venue. My husband and his family even came back for dinner the next. day and enjoyed the meal immensely.

Had my 60 person wedding here the other day, doing my best to write a thorough review. TL;DR: A great all-inclusive venue at an affordable price, if you aren't too hung up on the details. Small snags: We had requested our audio guestbook be put out at the cocktail hour, and we had brought some additional desserts of our own--both things were forgotten about until I pulled someone aside and reminded them. The requested gluten-free meal was given to the appropriate guest, then taken away(?), but given back again once we found our coordinator and let her know. The DJ (DJ BodyRawk) was ok; he took requests and shook the tip jar to play them, though I had already tipped him as part of the overall bill. I thought parking would be available, but we had to park in the available lot across the street, which we weren't told ahead of time. The venue can be a little hard to get a hold of; their automatic answering service is a bit weird and they don't leave messages when they call you back, but our coordinator Tanya was pretty good about calling/texting back. Keep in mind the bridal suite is very small (this was perfect for me). There was another event going on but it didn't affect my wedding in the slightest--people were very sweet and offered me congrats. The rehearsal was apparently self-guided; this was never communicated to us. These weren't huge issues for me, but if you're the type to NEED a totally perfect dream wedding, they are things to keep in mind. The Highlights: My guests LOVED the gorgeous fountain courtyard as well as the decor of the room, especially the light-up willow tree. 99% of our own decor (arch, pictures, Mr/Mrs signs, centerpieces, accent flower petals, party favors) were laid out as requested and looked lovely. As I said the food was excellent, they worked with me on gluten-free and vegan options at no extra charge (for under 5 people), the bartender truly had the patience of a saint and made fast, delicious drinks, and the photobooth from the venue was a HUGE hit and we have some really fun pictures. It was AWESOME having an all-inclusive venue, I had very little to worry or think about; they also have decor accents, lights, arches, and centerpieces available to rent if you'd like. And of course, the price was outstandingly affordable. The incredible price was the biggest draw for us and honestly it was worth it, I'd do it again. Overall, I'd recommend Encore for anyone who wants a great, fun wedding!

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.

Bramble Bay Venue exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding and then some! From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was something special. The views are absolutely breathtaking—being right on the water in Imperial Beach creates the most stunning backdrop for both the ceremony and photos. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. The staff was incredible throughout the entire process. They were always quick to respond, answered every question we had, and made planning feel so much less stressful. Everyone was genuinely kind, professional, and eager to help make our day perfect. One of the biggest surprises was how competitive the pricing was compared to other waterfront venues in San Diego. We felt like we received amazing value without having to compromise on quality or location. If you're looking for a beautiful wedding venue with spectacular views, outstanding customer service, and affordable pricing, I can't recommend Bramble Bay Venue enough. It was the perfect place to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Everyone was so accomodating helping us with things. The day of, I felt like a Queen!

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.

I don’t even know where to begin. Our wedding day was absolute perfection! The Wedgewood team made the planning process so easy and stress free. And when our wedding day came, everything was just perfect. Tabitha, our coordinator, was so amazing and helped our vision come to life, and made the day run smoothly and stress free. Our banquet captain Kelly, was so sweet and was on it our entire reception. I’m so sad our wedding day is over but so thankful to the entire Wedgewood team for creating such an unforgettable day. THANK YOU ALL! Love, Matt & Jess.

Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect. If you're envisioning a fairytale garden wedding like I was, choose this venue!

From the moment I met Marcela, the Handlery coordinator, I knew our experience would be memorable for all the right reasons. She was attentive and patient with all our questions and was quick to get back to our emails. The venue itself is lovely, especially the outdoor wedding gazebo. The reception area perfectly accommodated our guests and the staff were extremely attentive and professional. They worked well with all of our vendors and there were no complications at all. The extra perk of staying in a honeymoon suite as part of the package was a lovely surprise as well. Definitely give them a try.
