Wedgewood themselves did a wonderful job. They took care of essentially everything for us. There are some things to consider when booking. They DO NOT allow you onto the grounds before 9 am on the day of your wedding. This was an issue for the bride when figuring out where to get ready with hair and makeup. We needed to get ready beginning at 8:00 AM and this was a difficult fix for us as we had planned the whole timeline being able to get ready in the beautiful bridal suite. We didn't get to utilize that space hardly at all as a consequence. With that said, the reception and ceremony spaces were gorgeous and our guests had a wonderful time. We were so happy with the rest of the planning process, minus one of their vendors. I would HIGHLY suggest this to anyone getting married. It was such an easy process! Just make sure to keep in mind your timeline well ahead of time! Seems small, but was the hardest part of our logistics was not being able to use the bridal suite as we had hoped.

The team at Carlsbad Windmill is top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs! As a wedding guest last December, I had an incredible time! First off, the ceremony hall is like stepping into a cathedral of light and space. High ceilings? Check. Skylights? Double check. And there's a window wall on your right, so we all caught a mesmerizing silhouette of the bride before her grand entrance: incredible. We headed out to the patio for photos, drinks, a delicious cheese platter, and supersized Jenga, then made our way up to the great hall. The theme was gorgeous with colorful tropical flowers, blue glassware, exposed rafters, and beautiful modern bubble chandeliers. And get this—they had a phone service that turned your well-wishes into an vinyl LP. The dessert bar and drink selection were top-notch and we all loved the buffet. The DJ was fabulous: we danced and danced ... Then 10 steps and we were tucked up in the Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel. We had a great time and highly recommend Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood Weddings.

The beauty of Occasions at Laguna Village will create lifetime memories of your special day in the most romantic location on the Pacific Coast.

Where to start! We got married at Occasions on November 4, 2023. Even before we put the deposit down, we were met with professionalism and confidence putting me and my now husband at ease. Dayna is excellent at her job and made the planning process very smooth and easy. Going into the wedding weekend, I felt calm and relaxed knowing that the day would go off without a hitch and I was right! Her team did an amazing job coordinating between all the vendors so I just had to show up and get married. The catering manager Andrew was so easy to work with when figuring out the signature drinks for the bar, as well as helping us make sure the food matching the vibe we wanted for our wedding. DJ Todd from Epic 1 entertainment kept the party going with our dancefloor being packed all night, as well as some fun extras. I would highly recommend Occasions for any of your wedding or event needs. I am so thankful to them for making our special day easy, seamless and one to remember.

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.

I would get married here every day! We don't live too far away so we love driving by and reminiscing about the best day of our lives. They were very communicative and super easy to plan with. Considering this is in La Jolla, the price was also very affordable and they had a great list of vendors that they recommend. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day and very happy with the venue. We had the ceremony in the garden area, cocktail hour outside on the patio, and the reception indoors. It was early April so we were happy to have both options inside or outside, with last minute changes if necessary, as we weren't sure if it was going to be raining.

If you are looking for the BEST venue and catering company for your wedding, this is the place. From the moment we toured The Cuvier Club, we knew that this was different than the rest. Our venue manager Anders Cueva was the most personal, warm and thoughtful person from the start of our process to the very end. She guided us through any question or uncertainty that we had about our wedding, allowing us to build the perfect wedding we envisioned. The wedding coordinator provided to us by the company was Federico Tomas, a person who excels at being the absolute best at this job. Federico remained in constant communication with us during our planning process, offering us the best ideas and collaboration for our big day. On our wedding day, he was an amazing source of support that was never too far away, making sure we were having the best time. On top of these two incredible workers, was our event captain David and his amazing team of servers during our wedding night. All of our guests raved about the beyond friendly servers and how smooth their process of getting food and drinks to everyone was. There was not a single hiccup or delay during the event. With all this wonderful service, the food served was out of this world.

Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa

5.0

Coronado, CA
  • Up to 400 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Imagine saying "I do" at your Coronado Island wedding while feeling a warm evening breeze fresh off the San Diego Bay at sunset. Our hotel makes every effort to make Coronado Island wedding planning successful, magical, and exceptional.

I got married at the Coronado Island Marriott in April 2023. It was the most magical weekend of my life! It was an Indian wedding - 300 guests and had events both Friday and Saturday (3 events total), all held at the Coronado Island Marriott. The views from the wedding site are stunning - you get the water and downtown skyline as your backdrop, and people were stunned. One of our events (Sangeet - Friday night) was at the hotel's Skyline Terrace, and the sunset hitting downtown and the lights in the night were breathtaking. You also get a view of the Coronado bridge. Everywhere you go, there are views. Our guests were raving all weekend about the accommodations. The hotel boasts the biggest hotel rooms in San Diego, and they did not disappoint. They were extremely clean and modern. The biggest bonus was the hotel wasn't huge to where people felt overwhelmed walking from one side to another. It was intimate while still being spacious, and you got the vibe it was my wedding wherever you went in the hotel. The hotel is super close to the ferry to downtown, so when people had free time, some of them would go downtown for food or site-seeing, and come back. It was super easy. The hotel has a spa as well (my husband and I got a couples massage the day after the wedding), which is so tidy and relaxing as well. There's a park nearby, and flamingos on site which I know a lot of the kids loved watching. The Coronado Beach is a 10 min drive (which is where we got some of our wedding pictures done), and a few people spend time there. The hotel also has a wonderful/spacious pool area, which a lot of my friends used. There are also a lot of restaurants walking distance from the hotel, which was nice since each of the families had welcome dinners at separate places - guests didn't have to worry about ubering or walking far distances. There's something for everyone to do/see during down time at or near the hotel. The hotel at the restaurant is called Albaca, and served up some delicious food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all great), and cocktails. My husband loved Albaca's spicy margarita so much when we visited one time, that he decided to make it his signature drink! I know a lot of guests spent time there hanging out. I have to give a shoutout to Kheshini over at the Marriott (Director of Event Planning) who was with us every step of the way - from site tours, to signing, to helping us plan the event, to being there when it all came together. Even if we visited the Marriott unannounced and we let her know we were in town, she'd go out of our way to say hi. She is so friendly, and just the person you'd want helping run your event. She worked with us to try to get everything we wanted, and to make sure that we were happy (ex. I wanted a very specific watermelon vodka for my signature drink, and Kheshini made sure that they were able to find it and order it in time). She was also extremely patient with the questions that came from our parents (which was a lot!). If you're considering booking the Coronado Island Marriott as a wedding venue, I 10/10 would recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed, and I felt like a princess the entire weekend. Everyone there is extremely polite and accommodating, and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and happy on the most important weekend of my life thus far.
