“My husband and I are local to San Diego and toured around 15–20 venues before finding Wedgewood Weddings at The Headquarters. We immediately booked a tour and completely fell in love. From the pre-coordination to seeing everything come together on our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Our coordination team — Emma, Nat, and Petr — spent hours with us leading up to the wedding, making sure we understood our options and helping us incorporate the personal touches that mattered most. Our day-of coordinator, Jasmine, was amazing! Although we hadn’t had our previous planning meetings with her, she came into our rehearsal knowing exactly what was on our list and executed everything exactly as we had planned. We never felt like we needed to explain or worry about anything. The handoff to our banquet captain, Brynne, was equally seamless. She made sure our late-night ramen bar came to life and, at the end of the night, led her team in helping our family pack everything up. Our DJ, Mik from DJ Maestro, was even better than we imagined. Multiple guests told us it was one of the best wedding DJ experiences they’d ever had, and the dance floor was incredible all night! We also used Moments in Bloom and True Photography, two of Wedgewood’s partnered vendors. Our bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arch were exactly what we envisioned, and our photo/video team made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The venue itself was beautiful, and our guests could not stop talking about how unique it was — especially the downstairs bar! We had around 150 guests and never once felt like the space was cramped or crowded. There was plenty of room to move around, dance, and enjoy the night, so it can absolutely handle a larger crowd. The food was great, and the service was incredibly smooth. Even with friends who know how to enjoy a good open bar, there was never a line! The location was another huge plus. We debated having an outdoor ceremony because outdoor photos were really important to us, but we ended up loving the indoor ceremony space. Our photo team walked with us down to the water afterward, so we still got the sunset photos we had dreamed of. We also booked our hotel block at the Hyatt, and our guests loved how close and convenient everything was. If you are looking for a venue and team that will be there for you throughout the entire planning process and make sure your wedding day comes together exactly as you envisioned, look no further than The Headquarters. My husband went on two deployments while we were wedding planning, so I knew from the beginning that I wanted a venue with a team that would provide a lot of support throughout the process. We truly could not have asked for a better group of people to work with. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Wedgewood Weddings at The Headquarters. They supported us from the beginning of planning through the very end of our wedding night, and we would choose them all over again.”
