A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This dynamic urban retreat in the heart of San Diego's vibrant Gaslamp Quarter is fully outfitted with 21 unique indoor & outdoor event venues, topnotch tech and AV capabilities, and a stellar in-house team to bring your celebration to life. Fully customizable packages ensure a smooth planning process, plus the ability to take advantage of unique perks, like a custom Gobo projection of your wedding logo on the nearby buildings!
  • The expansive Garden Terrace seems to float amid the sparkling cityscape, with ample room for both a ceremony under the pergola and an al fresco reception beneath the glowing bistro lights and Tivoli lanterns. Alternately, bring the party inside the adjacent San Diego Ballroom, a sleek, sophisticated space accessed through a row of large doors which can be left open for a breezy flow in and out.
  • Ascend the grand staircase from the light-flooded lobby to the California Ballroom, which boasts an adjoining foyer perfect for welcoming guests, or mingle with loved ones over cocktails on the pool deck. The Harbor Room is a wonderful option for intimate celebrations, boasting a stylish, contemporary vibe and a long, curved terrace that offers sweeping views of the surrounding skyline and harbor beyond.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter or do we have to use yours?

Add a room rental of $350–$2,000 and a $1,500 ceremony fee if you marry on site. Menu prices don't include the 27% service charge or sales tax, so build those in from the start.
