As a San Diego native, I believe San Diego County one of the most beautiful and diverse places in America. It's home to both beautiful beaches and mountains.  Downtown San Diego has its own urban beat that comes alive every day.

Every year, San Diego hosts over 14,000 weddings!  You can find wedding venues in San Diego to host elopements or small weddings to wedding venues that produce elaborate and grand affairs to everything in between.  Truly, there is an ideal wedding venue for everyone! With that being said, finding the right venue takes time and with so many choices it can get overwhelming.
