Stunning venue, true professionalism

We were sold on La Valencia because of the stunning property, but we were blown away by how wonderful of an experience it was to get married there. We've heard horror stories from friends about their venues, particularly during the pandemic. However, with Bobby and team, every meeting was filled with laughter and excitement, and the wedding day was perfection. The hotel's ocean views and historic building made our photos unreal, our guests haven't stopped talking about the food and service (six months later!) and we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else.

The "pink lady" will forever be special to us -- and think you should get married there too!

Amazing wedding at the La V

We had such an incredible wedding at the La Valencia! We can't recommend this venue enough. Working with Bobby and Rebecca was wonderful and they both made the process smooth and seamless. They were always quick to respond to my emails and calls and gave detailed answers about the questions I was asking.

Not only are the views and the setting gorgeous, our guests raved about the food and the hospitality of all of the staff members. We're already planning our anniversary trip back! I'd recommend the La Valencia to any couple planning their big day without hesitation - you won't regret it!

Ah-mazing!

The iconic location alone is enough to draw you in - right next to the ocean, in the heart of La Jolla with those stunning views and so much to do in the area. We had lots of friends & family coming in from afar, so having a place to stay with lots to do nearby was key for us. We fell in love at first sight on our tour with Bobby in 2021. He & Isabella have been nothing short of amazing all throughout the process! We had a family dinner the night before the big day at The Med, which was so convenient & the food was just perfect! One thing about weddings - the food is NEVER good, but all the food at La V was absolutely incredible - everyone raved about it! “The best steak I’ve ever had” was a common one, along with “That cauliflower steak was amazing!”. When we checked in, we had two proseco’s & some fruits with a handwritten card letting us know to reach out for anything we might need during our stay. After our ceremony, Bobby took us to the best spot for ocean wedding photos! At the end of our wedding night, we even had a bottle of champagne in our room with a congratulations box of Sugarfina candies nearby and another hand written card of congratulations. We enjoyed that bottle the following day by the pool with some friends. So on top of the amazing location, the convenience of having a wedding at a hotel, the beautiful views, incredible ceremony & reception, and delicious food & drinks, we were truly treated like royalty. There are just so many perks to having a wedding here - we can even come back to celebrate our anniversaries, and plan to do so!! We would play that whole weekend on repeat if we could!!
