Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Perched at the edge of the cerulean Pacific just across the bay from San Diego's sparking skyline, this historic venue and restaurant boasts some of the very best views in town. It's also got some of the very best food: the master culinary team will work closely with you to craft a custom menu to match your budget and tastes, with a focus on fresh, creative seafood dishes.
- The waterfront ceremony site is highlighted by a dramatic sculptural "arch," designed and crafted by local artist Christoper Puzio. This unique piece frames your vows perfectly against the dramatic sea-and-city backdrop, embracing the showstopping vistas while ensuring you're always center stage.
- Expansive windows in the California and Harbor Rooms frame unforgettable panoramas of the Bay and the sprawling cityscape. Adjacent private patios, perched above the turquoise water, offer a lovely spot for your guests to enjoy a cool breeze (and a cool beverage).
