Our Dream Wedding
•Verified review
•Kaho and B.•Mar 10, 2024
My wife and I were scouting the Thursday Club for a potential wedding venue, and as soon as we pulled up we knew it was perfect. Upon walking in and meeting Chris, our feelings were only affirmed even further. The warm hospitality you are greeted with can only be matched by the truly breathtaking views and location of the venue. We can honestly say there is not one thing we wish was different when looking back at our special day. The entire process, from scouting 9 months in advance, communication throughout, the rehearsal, and then the actual day of the event, everything was perfect. We even had the additional challenge of planning our entire event from the opposite side of the country, but Chris was so responsive and accommodating, it was seamless. We could not possibly recommend the Thursday Club any more, if you are looking for a magical venue with a wonderful host and some outstanding vendor recommendations, your search is over.
The PERFECT Wedding Venue!!

I have had the pleasure of working at the Thursday Club many times. It is an amazing place to get married at! The location is ideal as the Thursday club is nestled perfectly between Point Loma and Ocean Beach. It has everything you need for the perfect wedding. The views of the ocean are fantastic! There are so many places you can take photos. The ceremony space is cozy and intimate but can also accommodate all of your guests. The reception space is flexible and can meet what ever design ideas you have! If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue book the Thursday Club!

I got married on October 14, 2023 and I would 100% recommend The Thursday Club. The venue is beautiful, Chris (manager) is so easy to work with, and the place has so much room for your guests to enjoy your big day! Chris has great wedding vendor recommendations, it was easy to communicate with him, the venue was always sparkling clean and the gardens are gorgeous. Save yourself some time and just book your big day at The Thursday Club, you will not regret it!
BEST Venue in San Diego!!!

I am a wedding coordinator in San Diego and I am not ashamed to say that The Thursday Club is my favorite venue!!! A short drive from downtown San Diego & the airport, nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Point Loma, The Thursday Club is a prefect spot for your wedding ceremony & reception! The historic building is pristine with original chandeliers and tradition Spanish architecture. The garden and outdoor spaces are beautifully maintained with blooming flowers, mature trees, succulents and a working fountain - countless stunning spots for amazing wedding photos! Plus it is a convenient drive to Sunset Cliffs for photos on the Cliffs. Two spacious terraces off the main clubhouse have outstanding views of Ocean Beach & the Pacific - you and your guests have a front row seat of the most stellar sunsets! The private garden is the perfect spot for your ceremony, white padded chairs are included in your rental that are set atop the spacious stone patio. Your rental also includes numerous folding tables and a second set of white padded chairs for reception. A working fireplace in the Sun Room and comfortable living room with large windows is a lovely space for guests to visit and relax. The getting ready room has a private entrance and restroom - it is the perfect space for weddings parties to get dressed and prep for ceremony. Newley added Spanish tiles on the main staircase is super cool also! Guests are always mesmerized by the stunning views captivate by the venue’s rich history. The venue has 12 diverse catering companies to choose from to cater your event, something for everyone! Chris Erickson, the onsite manager is SO helpful and easy to work with! He is kind, easy going and cares so much about the property, always working on projects to keep the venue shining. He truly cares about the clients happiness. I am not lying when I say that The Thursday Club is my favorite venue to work with and one of my very favorite spaces to be, my second home : ) Thank you Chris and The Thursday Club for opening your doors for happy celebrations! If you are searching for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, ocean views, and San Diego historic charm, The Thursday Club is the perfect choice!

The Thursday Club can recommend several great coordinators that work here a lot and can make your day THE BEST!

Guests can walk around to enjoy the Garden with food and drink during the entire reception, but no bar or food tables set up in the Garden.
