Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This quintessential San Diego retreat is pure Paradise. Tucked in Mission Bay in the heart of San Diego, the island setting makes it feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Set amid lush gardens, tranquil lagoons, and endless options for recreation, you'll find everything you need for a destination wedding: plush, bungalow-style guest rooms, an award-winning spa, and an in-house events team to help you bring your dreams to life.
  • When it comes to beautiful beachfront settings, you can't top an island... and this 44-acre tropical oasis has no shortage of stunning options. Say "I do" on the Island Point Lawn, perched on an emerald peninsula surrounded by sandy beaches and soaring palms, in Pine Hill's hidden garden bounded by sparkling lagoons and floating pagodas, or on Paradise Terrace, with the softly flowing waterfall as your soundtrack.
  • Receptions in the elegant ballrooms take advantage of the dreamy panoramas and spectacular sunsets. Start with cocktails on a waterfront deck before celebrating in the light-flooded Sunset Ballroom, where high ceilings, mother-of-pearl chandeliers, and a fresh, coastal-inspired palette enhance the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Or, opt for the Old World-style Mission Bay Ballroom—once the stars emerge, sneak out to the patio to steal a kiss before the firelit lagoon.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Paradise Point Resort & Spa, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Paradise Point Resort & Spa on Mission Bay offers all-inclusive wedding packages that cover three tray-passed hors d'oeuvres, a plated or buffet dinner, a 1-hour hosted bar during cocktail hour, wine service with dinner, a sparkling wine or cider toast, and a wedding cake or dessert bar. You'll also get floor-length linens with matching napkins, upgraded chairs for indoor receptions, a wedding tasting for up to 4 guests and a complimentary suite on your wedding night. Separately, plan for a rental fee, a ceremony fee and a 27% service charge. The events team can help you decide which upgrades are worth it.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, both happen on the resort's island in Mission Bay. At Paradise Point Resort & Spa, you can marry on Island Point Lawn, a palm-lined peninsula (up to 100), at Pine Hill among lagoons and floating pagodas (up to 175), or on the Sunset Terrace above the shore (up to 300). Receptions can move to the Sunset Ballroom (up to 400 with its waterfront deck), Paradise Terrace (up to 400) with its waterfall, the Mission Bay Ballroom (up to 160) beside a firelit lagoon, or smaller rooms like the Dockside Room (up to 100). There's a fit for nearly any guest count.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Paradise Point Resort & Spa or do we have to use yours?

Food and drinks at Paradise Point Resort & Spa come from the resort's in-house catering team, so plan on using them for your menu and bar. For beauty, The Spa at Paradise Point can handle hair and makeup for you and your wedding party, and you can get ready together in the outdoor spa courtyard with champagne. Ask the events team about their policy for outside photographers, florists and entertainment before you sign.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, and is there a minimum?

At Paradise Point Resort & Spa in San Diego, packages start at $195 per person for weddings of 50 or more guests. On top of that, the rental fee runs $1,500–$4,000 and the ceremony fee runs $4,000–$6,000, depending on the spaces you choose, plus a 27% service charge. Your guest count drives most of the total since the package is priced per person, and your choice of ceremony and reception spaces moves the fees. Ask the events team for a quote with your date and guest count so you can see the full picture.

Where would our out-of-town guests stay near Paradise Point Resort & Spa, and can you help with a room block?

Your guests can stay right on the island at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, in bungalow-style rooms spread across 44 acres of gardens and lagoons, and your package includes a complimentary suite for the two of you on the wedding night. Overnight doorstep parking is $49 per night, check-in is at 4pm and check-out is at 11am. The resort is pet-friendly with no weight or breed limits ($150 cleaning fee per stay), so four-legged guests can come along too. Beyond the wedding, the resort hosts rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches and bachelorette parties, plus beach bonfires and sunset cruises. Ask the events team about setting up a room block when you book.

What makes Paradise Point Resort & Spa different from the other venues near it?

It handles big weddings, with Paradise Terrace and the Sunset Ballroom each holding up to 400 for a reception, and its all-inclusive packages keep planning simple. The resort is also set up for Indian weddings, including a groom's arrival by boat at the private marina and a custom-built entertainment stage at the reception. It's a destination-style weekend without leaving San Diego.
