Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This stylish hotel on Harbor Island offers a bayside retreat with truly first class amenities. The backdrop for your celebration is guaranteed to wow, thanks to unmatched panoramic views of the harbor and San Diego Bay alongside a dazzling display of glittering city lights.
- The Garden Terrace is the venue's premiere venue for celebrations, a private green oasis lined with lush tropical greenery, columned plantings, and soaring palms and tucked alongside an outdoor bar, pool, and spa (we're already dreaming of a poolside cocktail hour!). Other al fresco options are equally lovely, including the Lanai Lawn, the Harbor Vista Lawn, and Eventide Gardens, where you'll gather beneath pretty shade trees with sweeping vistas of the marina and bay.
- Mingle in the glow of the setting sun during an al fresco cocktail hour, where you'll join your guests to enjoy delicious chef-crafted bites. The food here is topnotch, with diverse dining options and personalized menus prepared a team of culinary experts to fit your vision and taste.
