    Perfect venue- beautiful views

    Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center is the best kept secret and absolute jewel of a location for an event. I had my wedding here and you have access to the whole building, terrace, movie theater and amphitheater. It was a JOY working with Janet (operations manager). Perfect venue for amazing views and unique setting great for nature lovers. Maybe the best part is that what you pay to rent the facility goes to the MTRP Foundation to support the park- it's like making a donation! We loved that so much. Thank you for a beautiful venue for our wedding- it was a SUPERB experience from start to finish!

    We were thrilled to host our wedding ceremony and reception at Mission Trails Regional Park with the help of their wonderful Foundation staff. When our original venue unexpectedly canceled, the team at MTRP Foundation jumped in to rescue our date just 6 weeks out. Their communication was clear, helpful and personable every step of the way as we re-planned everything. The park offers stunning views and a gorgeous, natural blank slate for hosting events. We worked closely with the staff on logistics like optimal speaker and processional setup to take advantage of the beautiful landscapes surrounding us. Our guests raved about the views and scenery. We highly recommend Mission Trails for couples seeking a picturesque, affordable and accommodating outdoor venue in San Diego.
