Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Perched on the shores of Lake San Marcos, this fabulous destination resort offers a picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby San Diego. The guest rooms are plush and modern, but you'll be tempted to stay outside—rent a kayak or charter a sail, enjoy 18 holes of golf or a round of pickleball, or sip cocktails with your loved ones on a waterfront deck.
- A gentle breeze off the water accompanies your lakeside ceremony, while the sun-kissed coastal foothills rise beyond. For a truly unique option, say "I do" on the intimate private Island, where you and your guests will be surrounded on all sides by the shimmering lake.
- Al fresco receptions are lovely on the Lakeside Lawn, a verdant expanse studded by palms and lit by glowing bistro lights. The light-flooded Pavillion offers the perfect balance between indoors and out, with vaulted ceilings, enormous windows, and a coastal-inspired white wood design. All-inclusive packages are the icing on the cake, allowing you to relax and enjoy the celebration.
