Welcome. The Portofino Inn, as it was originally named, was opened in 1962 by racecar enthusiast Mary Davis.

The Cannonball Run, a car race from New York to Los Angeles turned feature film, was first run in 1971 with The Portofino Inn as the final destination.

** you cannot edit your vendor Zola review and this is an edit to give our initial review 5 FIVE STARS** When we were looking for where to host our wedding reception an intimate unique setting that would be a great time with full open bar and great food was what we were looking for about 200. Staff was excellent day of. Food was wonderful guests said. Venue was beautiful for photos and weather behaved in January so we got to watch the sunset. Everything was amazing w Portofino. Price was excellent for what we got and in SoCal on the water venue “boutique hotel.” My only critique is doing room blocks and anything to do with their computer system accounting takes a second and is a little out dated takes two days or so- but I like to get things done or get emails asap so that’s just me. Other than that wonderful place will be going back to stay at hotel! Amazing reception! Exactly what we were looking for! Rain is also exceptionally friendly, patient and communicative so ask for him !

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t know exactly where to start, but Cuvier Club was absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end in making sure our day was special, and they succeeded in that a million times. My husband and I began our search in 2023 to find a wedding venue that was not only nice and beautiful, but also warm and welcoming as an lGbt couple. We toured a few of the other Wedgewood owned venues that were more local to us in Los Angeles, each with their pros and cons, but before deciding on one of those, we decided to humor ourselves and take the 3 hour trip down to La Jolla to tour the Cuvier Club, and I am SO glad that we did. The Cuvier Club is absolutely beautiful. From the plant life, to the magical interior and the absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites, we knew immediately that this was the venue for us. Our first impression of the Cuvier Club was made so incredibly special by Anders. She was so incredibly informative, and we instantly felt a connection and knew that we were in good hands with her. She showed us around the venue, the various ceremony sites, and told us so much about the local area for places to take our wedding photos, where to have rehearsal dinners, and things to do for fun. The entire team - Anders, Lauren, Mandi, and later Janae and Selina - were absolutely wonderful. They always had smiles on their faces, helping to make our wedding day the best it could be. Like any event, nobody is perfect and there were some small hiccups along the way, but nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing that made a huge problem that couldn’t have been corrected with ease. On our wedding day, because we resonated with Ander so well, we requested her to be our day-of coordinator because we had so much confidence in her, as a fellow member of the lgbt family, to make our day the best it could be and we could tell deep down in her heart that she truly cared about us and wanted our day to be perfect, and it was. In addition to Anders, on our wedding day, Federico was our banquet captain with Sofia as our head server, and they were on it. They made sure we were taken care of at every moment, and I couldn’t commend them any more than I already do. 10’s, 10’s, 10’s across the board! From the DJ, to the officiant, to the planning team, to the management, you were all so fantastic and perfect, and I truly could not thank you enough, especially as a same-sex couple, for making our day as amazing as it could be. It’s not often that gay couples find a match, and even less often that they get married due to bigotry and hatred still shared by so many people, but you will find NONE of that here. They didn’t even slightly treat us any differently, and again, I cannot thank Anders enough for making us feel so welcome in the establishment. I would recommend this venue so highly to anybody, but I recommend it SO SO SO SO SO SO highly to anyone who may be a same-sex couple looking to find a venue that will accept them without hesitation.

La Jolla Woman's Club 

5.0

La Jolla, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

La Jolla Woman’s Club is located in the heart of La Jolla Village, one block from the ocean. With its exquisite private gardens, historic Irving Gill building and ocean view, the club is a magical setting for any special occasion. The club hosts private events such as weddings, non-profit fundraisers, receptions, lectures, dinners, holiday parties, celebrations of life, retreats and educational meetings.

My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!

I loved working with Robin at the Sonesta Hotel. She was an excellent event manager who cared for all our needs and was very accommodating. I had one problem that had nothing to do with Robin or the Sonesta: Someone on the wedding coordinator's staff stole my wallet during the event. We hired Koral, the wedding coordinator, which was our responsibility. Overall, it was a beautiful venue with excellent hotel staff. I would recommend the Sonesta 100%.

Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa 

5.0

Coronado, CA
  • Up to 400 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Imagine saying "I do" at your Coronado Island wedding while feeling a warm evening breeze fresh off the San Diego Bay at sunset. Our hotel makes every effort to make Coronado Island wedding planning successful, magical, and exceptional.

I got married at the Coronado Island Marriott in April 2023. It was the most magical weekend of my life! It was an Indian wedding - 300 guests and had events both Friday and Saturday (3 events total), all held at the Coronado Island Marriott. The views from the wedding site are stunning - you get the water and downtown skyline as your backdrop, and people were stunned. One of our events (Sangeet - Friday night) was at the hotel's Skyline Terrace, and the sunset hitting downtown and the lights in the night were breathtaking. You also get a view of the Coronado bridge. Everywhere you go, there are views. Our guests were raving all weekend about the accommodations. The hotel boasts the biggest hotel rooms in San Diego, and they did not disappoint. They were extremely clean and modern. The biggest bonus was the hotel wasn't huge to where people felt overwhelmed walking from one side to another. It was intimate while still being spacious, and you got the vibe it was my wedding wherever you went in the hotel. The hotel is super close to the ferry to downtown, so when people had free time, some of them would go downtown for food or site-seeing, and come back. It was super easy. The hotel has a spa as well (my husband and I got a couples massage the day after the wedding), which is so tidy and relaxing as well. There's a park nearby, and flamingos on site which I know a lot of the kids loved watching. The Coronado Beach is a 10 min drive (which is where we got some of our wedding pictures done), and a few people spend time there. The hotel also has a wonderful/spacious pool area, which a lot of my friends used. There are also a lot of restaurants walking distance from the hotel, which was nice since each of the families had welcome dinners at separate places - guests didn't have to worry about ubering or walking far distances. There's something for everyone to do/see during down time at or near the hotel. The hotel at the restaurant is called Albaca, and served up some delicious food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all great), and cocktails. My husband loved Albaca's spicy margarita so much when we visited one time, that he decided to make it his signature drink! I know a lot of guests spent time there hanging out. I have to give a shoutout to Kheshini over at the Marriott (Director of Event Planning) who was with us every step of the way - from site tours, to signing, to helping us plan the event, to being there when it all came together. Even if we visited the Marriott unannounced and we let her know we were in town, she'd go out of our way to say hi. She is so friendly, and just the person you'd want helping run your event. She worked with us to try to get everything we wanted, and to make sure that we were happy (ex. I wanted a very specific watermelon vodka for my signature drink, and Kheshini made sure that they were able to find it and order it in time). She was also extremely patient with the questions that came from our parents (which was a lot!). If you're considering booking the Coronado Island Marriott as a wedding venue, I 10/10 would recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed, and I felt like a princess the entire weekend. Everyone there is extremely polite and accommodating, and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and happy on the most important weekend of my life thus far.

Bella Luna is the perfect venue that kept our party moving throughout San Diego Bay with a great sound system, lights on the boat, and watching the city skyline light up the night!
