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.

We used Embolden for our welcome event before our wedding since we had a lot of folks traveling in from out of town. The beer was delicious and the space was perfect! We rented the indoor space as well as the patio, and it was perfect for around 100 people. The folks working the event were helpful and knowledgeable about their craft beer, and were very thoughtful and gave us a few vouchers for free drinks. I removed one star only because about an hour and a half before the event ended, people started to wander into our space. There was one sign indicating it was a private event, so it's not really on the venue, but it was just weird that people were coming in who weren't a part of the event! Additionally, I recommend going in person if you have any questions or emailing because the phone was hard to reach their team, but they are busy making delicious beer! Overall, a great experience and would recommend if you need a landing spot for your welcome event or any other kind of event!

I hosted my birthday in the back seating area of Cork and Stem and it was everything I wanted and more! Jenna was extremely helpful with walking me through a food and drink menu that fit my needs. The charcuterie board that they put together was PHENOMENAL! Not only did Jenna go above and beyond to make my birthday feel special but the staff also shared her work ethic and compassion and made it one of the best birthdays ever! I got so many compliments about how cute and chic everything was but the trick was I didn't decorate at all. They were impressed with the natural aesthetic of Cork and Stem! The flower bar is a perfect backdrop for photos. I will definitely be hosting more special occasions here!

We loved having our wedding reception at the museum! It was a unique venue, bright, and spacious. It’s an experience we (and our guests) still talk about almost 6 years later. It was a stress free wedding as Jenny (venue coordinator) was so easy to work with and very helpful in coordinating with all of our vendors and day of wedding coordinator. The museum has an approved list of vendors, and made suggestions that made the night even more special (like keeping the dinosaur skeleton out during the reception!) The cocktail hour was held on the second level, and the guests were able to walk through the exhibits. The reception was on the first level which was spacious.

Milagro Winery

Ramona, CA
  • Up to 200 guests

Whether you are hosting an intimate wedding or a grand event for two hundred guests, Milagro is the perfect outdoor venue in San Diego. Set amidst the rolling landscape of the Ramona Valley, Milagro provides an intimate and naturally beautiful outdoor setting for your wedding or private event. With exclusive and unique spaces, such as a granite Wine Cave, Old Crush House, and private stone patio, plus sweeping views of magnificent vineyards and meadows, Milagro provides a spectacular backdrop for your special event!

We got married at Milagro back in 2017 after I stumbled across their photo on Pinterest. Originally when I saw the picture of the beautiful Villa like structure I thought it couldn’t be in California and when I saw that it was and was only an hour or so from us I knew I wanted our wedding there. It gets even better, this amazing place is a winery! Double score! We schedule a walk through and wine tasting and booked the venue maybe 30 minutes after we were done. Melissa was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was so responsive and helpful that it was such a breeze when it came time to the big day! If you want to get married at a beautiful winery with delicious wine, Milagro is your venue! I can’t wait to go back and visit the tasting room soon!

Flora 

5.0

San Diego, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

An event at Flora presents itself polished and turnkey with features like wainscot walls, custom doors, and bespoke furnishings. Visualize lofted ceilings, a 70-foot long living wall, two 12-foot custom skylights, hanging garden chandeliers, and over 130 plants. The amenities give the venue a life of its own with a state of the art sound system, wooden house tables, chairs, movable partitions, and built-in color LED lighting. To top it off, Flora blends an entirely renovated interior with original, exposed wood beams from its initial construction in 1922 as a tribute to our past. We invite you to walk the botanically-lined path of Flora’s entrance and into a space unlike that of any San Diego event venue before it - we have made a statement; make yours at Flora.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Lush gardens
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Historic touches

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • No all-inclusive dining options
Choosing Flora as our venue was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially had viewed other downtown San Diego locations and just happened to find them and get them on the schedule, and it was absolutely the right decision. Full disclosure up front, they do have a relatively strict contract regarding the rules and regulations of the venue. With that being said, their team was incredibly open and responsive in having conversations about the contract, and personalized it when we identified some very specific circumstances as it related to us. Due to a smaller guest count we were owed money after the wedding, and we received the check in the mail, along with the security deposit, two days after the event had taken place which was a great weight off our shoulders. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The live foliage indoors with the skylights immediately sold us as soon as we entered the building. The floor layout is perfect for small to mid-sized guest counts, with ours seating 80 people perfectly. With the gorgeous tables, chairs, and other décor housed on-site it makes planning rentals and decorations that much easier not needing to deal with outside vendors. The staff could not have been more professional if we had asked. Katherine, Jameson, Erin, and the rest of their team were consistently responsive in the planning and execution of the wedding, constantly providing feedback and information when it was required. We had a handful of elderly/handicapped guests, and Jameson personally went to each and every one of them throughout the night to ensure that if there was anything they needed it would be taken care of. Especially on the day-of the wedding, Jameson was absolutely exceptional along with the bar staff in ensuring that transitions went smoothly and the guests had a great experience. He was always available for a phone call or email, and worked with us directly in problem solving and brainstorming ideas to make our day as special as possible. There have been countless guests who have given us feedback on how great the bar service was, which we could not have been happier with. All-in-all, Flora was an incredible venue to host our special day. We cannot give their team and the location better recommendations for couples looking to have a downtown San Diego wedding.

The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day.

This venue was one of TWO venues that fiancee and I even considered. Not only are they an affordable event space, their staff is just absolutely incredible. They space itself is PERFECT for those who want a lower light, romantic setting with a rustic feel. Wine barrels galore! And the open floor plan really helps with making the space your own for a little bit. It was really easy to map out everything you needed for the day. The BEST part was this venue has indoor/outdoor space. Perfect for those who want to stay warm, while also perfect for those who needed to get some fresh air. This is a major selling point if you plan on getting married in SD since this venue is close to the water. Personable hosts, very professional. They offered glasses of wine to us every time we did a site visit. Extremely communicative and flexible to work with your schedule if need be. Marlene was our wedding coordinator and she really did everything she could to make our day so special. She knows what it's like when they say, "Treat your guests like family"... She made you feel right at home! She will do everything within her power to make you feel at ease. There was not one time I felt concerned. Our bartender, Bryan, was the SWEETEST! He would make your drink and just talk with you like he knew you already. Our guests absolutely loved him. Even if you're not planning a wedding, I would recommend this spot to friends and family for other types of events, for sure. Such a classy establishment with the FRIENDLIEST people.

The Lane 

5.0

San Diego, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Situated on Lane Field, site of the original Padres stadium, The Lane offers 12,000 square feet of versatile indoor / outdoor event space. The layout creates an effortless flow between the gathering areas, culminating in a covered terrace with iconic views of the San Diego Bay. The elevated 3,500-square-foot terrace overlooks the waterfront and Lane Field Park. Enjoy music, lounges, bars, or appetizer stations in the San Diego sunshine before moving the party indoors. The terrace provides the ideal backdrop for cocktail hours, intimate ceremonies, sunset networking events, and more. The Lane also offers a furnished bridal suite, stylish restrooms, a large prep kitchen, and modern amenities. Book The Lane as a turn-key venue, or use the space as a creative palette to bring your vision to life.

After touring several venues, we ended up choosing the very first one we saw—The Lane—and it was absolutely the right call. The venue gave our wedding the exact look and feel we had hoped for: modern, clean, coastal, and elevated without ever feeling formal or stuffy. From the start, we were drawn to The Lane’s gorgeous indoor/outdoor layout, its location close to the airport (super convenient for guests!), extended rental hours (12p–12a), and the fact that tables and chairs were included in the price—all at a very reasonable rate. Another huge plus: its direct connection to multiple hotels, which made setting up room blocks a breeze and took transportation logistics off our plate entirely. That peace of mind was invaluable. Our ceremony took place on the balcony overlooking the water, which gave our guests such a quintessential San Diego experience. Cocktail hour followed at the opposite end of the balcony, keeping the ocean views going as the sun began to set. The reception had a beautiful indoor/outdoor experience—some guests danced the night away while others enjoyed chatting on the balcony. Watching the sunset light up the room during dinner was one of the most memorable moments of the night. With 150 guests, the space felt just right—roomy without feeling too big. The small bridal suite was also a great spot for our wedding party and family to gather before and after the ceremony, and we got some sweet photos in there too. Every step of the day ran smoothly. All of our vendors had no trouble working with The Lane’s team and layout—it was seamless from start to finish. We’re so grateful we found this gem of a venue. If you're looking for something that’s stylish yet relaxed, and offers a true San Diego experience, The Lane is it!

Bella Luna was a fantastic venue to host our pre-wedding party! John and I were married in Tuscany and many of our friends were unable to travel and attend our ceremony. We hosted a pre-wedding party on Bella Luna and invited all those who couldn't attend the wedding. All of our guests had an amazing time and are still talking about it. Bella Luna is the perfect venue that kept our party moving throughout San Diego Bay with a great sound system, lights on the boat, and watching the city skyline light up the night!

Lomas Santa Fe Country Club made the whole wedding planning experience easy so my now husband and I could focus on the day. From handling the amazing food to coordinating the table florals, the team at Lomas works really hard to give you a perfect day. Some highlights from ours: (1) The food. The chef is phenomenal and very flexible when it came to our diet restrictive guests. Everything we tried was amazing and I got rave reviews from my guests that there was more than enough delicious food throughout the event. Also, all the stars for our “getting ready” brunch spread with fun carved fruit included. (2) The staff. From Caryn and Chelsi to the whole bar/wait staff day off, everyone was so kind and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They really made our event feel even more special. Shout out to our waitress who ended up finding us before her shift was over to give big hugs and wish us well. (3) Location and facility. Both my husband and I are from San Diego and knew we wanted to be more central for our North County and Downtown friends and this was the perfect spot. Our golden hour pictures with the ocean in the background and shots in front of the iconic Lomas window were beautiful. Additionally, both getting ready spaces were private, large, and (for the bride) had a large area to do makeup and hair. The actual event space required very little decoration too since the ceremony space is on the golf course with the ocean in the distance and an arch is included in your package. Also, the reception space is just beautiful on its own with the huge fireplace, wood beam ceilings and chandeliers. Overall, my wedding planning experience was very seamless due in large part to the great group at Lomas.

The team at the California Center For The Arts, Escondido was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent - they always responded to my emails quickly and thoroughly answered any questions I had. They allowed me to set up my own decorations the day before, which was the best thing ever! If you don't have a wedding planner, they do offer a wedding coordinator which is a lot more affordable and super helpful the day of the wedding. The event space itself was perfect for our wedding, accommodating our 189 guests (rented 3 halls). The venue has 5 halls, so depending on your guest count, you can have a super large wedding or small. On the day of, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and all of our guests raved about the delicious food and beautiful reception setup. They have so many locations to take really nice pictures which allowed us to not travel to a different location to take pictures. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding day. Thank you, Meghan (event coordinator), for making our wedding day be amazing and stress free!
