About this venue

Since 1913, the Grande Colonial has been the legendary standard for unforgettable weddings in La Jolla. From the grandest of celebrations to “minimonies”, micro-weddings and destination elopements, generations of families have chosen to share their special day with us. These warm remembrances for past celebrations create a rich sense of anticipation for those celebrations still to come. Perfectly located steps from the ocean, the Grande Colonial is within walking distance of popular La Jolla wedding ceremony sites including La Jolla Cove, Ellen Browning Scripps Park and The Wedding Bowl—some of the most enchanting wedding spots in all of Southern California. The Grande Colonial’s commanding views of the California coastline and elegant ocean-view wedding facilities beckon brides seeking the intimacy and personalized service of a boutique hotel. Choose from a variety of indoor and outdoor venues , as well as catering options from NINE-TEN, our Michelin “Plate Distinction” restaurant.
