Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Toes-in-the-sand celebrations don't get more romantic than those at this luxurious resort, where you can say "I do" as Mission Bay's tranquil waters lap at the shore and sailboats glide by gracefully in the distance. The setting (and the resort's luxe amenities, like enticing pools and an on-site spa) make this a perfect choice for a wedding weekend.
- In the exquisite Garden by the Bay, towering palm trees form a natural wedding arch for a romantic, South Seas-inspired vibe. Exchange vows beneath the softly swaying fronds surrounded by lush tropical gardens, all with an unobstructed view of the ocean. You can continue the fête al fresco—the sunsets aren't to be missed.
- Dine and dance the night away on the Bayside Terrace, with its cascading waterfall and striking 60-year-old ficus tree. Or, opt for one of the hotel's chic ballrooms, each of which offers a host of fine features, from dazzling Italian glass chandeliers to French doors that open to views of the pool and bay.
