COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Malibu Farm San Diego, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

At Malibu Farm San Diego in Seaport Village, your food and craft beverages come straight from the restaurant's own kitchen and bar, and groups of 15 or more order from a fixed menu so the day runs smoothly. You're welcome to bring your own table decorations, as long as they leave with you. On top of food and drinks, plan for a private-room rental fee of $1,500–$2,500 depending on the day and space, a 20% service charge and a 10% coordination fee. Bringing your own dessert adds $5 per person, and corkage is $25.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Malibu Farm San Diego, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, both the Pond Room and the Marina Room at Malibu Farm San Diego work for ceremonies and receptions, so everyone stays put. The Pond Room sits downstairs with a duck pond on one side and North Embarcadero views on the other, while the Marina Room is a larger indoor space with a ground-level patio, made for wedding receptions and bigger gatherings.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Malibu Farm San Diego or do we have to use yours?

Food and drinks at Malibu Farm San Diego come from the restaurant itself, and groups of 15 or more order from a fixed menu. You do have some flexibility: you can bring your own dessert for $5 per person, bring your own bottle for a $25 corkage fee, and bring your own table decorations, as long as they're removed when your event ends.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Malibu Farm San Diego, and is there a minimum?

At Malibu Farm San Diego in Seaport Village, a private-room rental runs $1,500–$2,500, depending on the day of the week and which space you reserve. Your food and drinks come from a fixed menu for groups of 15 or more, and kids under 12 are half price. Every event adds a 20% service charge and a 10% coordination fee, so build those in from the start. The guaranteed guest count works like a minimum: you'll confirm your final number in writing at least seven days out, and if fewer guests come, you still pay for the guaranteed count. Extras like outside dessert ($5 per person) and corkage ($25) are easy to plan for, too.

What makes Malibu Farm San Diego different from the other venues near it?

Your guests can stroll the Seaport Village waterfront before or after the celebration, and the food and craft beverages come from the restaurant's own kitchen and bar, so there's one less vendor to line up.
