Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Experience the enchantment of a private island getaway at this award-winning venue and restaurant, which sits on the tip of Shelter Island in the San Diego bay. With a rich history that dates back to the 1950s, this iconic spot is one of the few remaining mid-century Tiki establishments in the country... with contemporary updates that showcase the location's unbeatable bay and city views while preserving the magic of this past.
- Take advantage of the area's exquisite climate in the Hawaiian Village, a unique outdoor pavilion located directly on the water. Another fabulous option is the South Pacific room, a circular space lined with crystal-clear bay windows for unobstructed vistas of the sparkling bay, harbor, and city skyline. Your guests will also love the Tapa-designed built-in bar, where they can easily refresh their mai-tais between spins on the dance floor.
- The delicious Polynesian-meets-Californian cuisine is a highlight of celebrations here, with flexible options that range from elegant plated service to festive luau buffets. Pre-wedding tastings with the Executive Chef give you the opportunity to fully customize your menu to match your desires (and budget!). Stress-free packages also include the services of the talented events team, who will handle every detail.
