The hotel is beautiful, the food is great, and Tisha is awesome. She’s super helpful and has made everything very easy. If you can afford I would 100% recommend.

Where do we begin. Our wedding at La Valencia was INCREDIBLE. Tisha and her team went above and beyond to make our entire weekend more magical than we could imagine. Tisha responded to urgent emails after hours and on weekends and always made us feel taken care of. Check in was a breeze for us and our guests staying at the hotel. We felt like VIP guests at the hotel all weekend and will definitely be going back every year to celebrate!

So while I ultimately didn’t choose this venue, I will say that I did sign a contract with them and was originally supposed to get married here. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to change venues and la Valencia was so kind to us in having to change. I wish I was able to have gotten married here.

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to share my great experience working with Tisha at La Valencia. While La V ultimately did not work out as my venue (which was no fault of the hotel), my fiance and I were very impressed with Tisha's responsiveness, professionalism, patience, and accommodations while we grappled with our decision for almost a month. If you're looking for a coastal venue that is historic, intimate, and full of charm with excellent customer service, I highly recommend checking out this one.

This place is ridiculous to begin with but I cannot even begin to say how great our wedding was at La Valencia. Highly recommend this venue for anyone's special day. The complimentary room and get ready rooms were perfect. The ceremony and reception locations blew everyone away. The food was amazing at the tasting and surpassed expectations at the ceremony. Lastly, special thanks to Tisha and Bobby, not only for their work on our wedding but for doing right by us.

We worked with Tisha a La Valencia to bring a bride's wedding vision to life. Tisha was beyond amazing to work with. The hotel was undergoing some updates during the year that we assisted our bride in planning her wedding and Tisha went above and beyond to ensure the wedding not only met, but exceeded the bride and groom's vision. Throughout the weekend, the hotel's service was impeccable - they were attentive to the bride and groom's needs. Thank you Tisha for such a great experience!

My wife and I had the privilege of being married at the La Valencia Hotel on November 21, 2018. This venue for our marriage was perfect! The hotel is beautiful with gorgeous views of the picturesque La Jolla Cove as well as plush landscaping everywhere. The food was outstanding from the freshly prepared green salad to the flavorful carne asada and delicious churros. All the staff from the valet attendants to the bartender (no one ever waited for a drink) treated us like VIP’s and were polished and professional but most importantly very friendly and helpful! All of our guests were “ooohing and ahhhing” nonstop from the moment they entered the hotel lobby, throughout the ceremony in the Jardin and the cocktail hour and reception in the Veranda Ballroom. Our wedding coordinator Cathy handled everything perfectly, paying attention to every little detail and saw to it that our ceremony and reception were flawless. Our wedding was completely stress free because of ... Read moreher and we could not thank her more! La Valencia was the perfect place for our very special day and I see us celebrating many more milestones here!

I had my wedding reception on the Med Patio at La Valencia and it was beautiful! Tisha was so helpful and patient as I planned my reception, and the event was perfect! I highly recommend booking an event and/or staying at La Valencia Hotel.

We chose La Valencia for our wedding venue and it was the best decision we have ever made! When we visited La V for the first time for a tour, we were blown away and instantly knew it was where we wanted to be married! There are no words to describe the unique beauty of this little gem in La Jolla. La V provided the mediterranean charm we were looking for and was the perfect setting for an even more perfect day. Its unique architecture, spanish tile elements, and ocean backdrop made for some great photos. The views were unmatched, the food was delicious, and the service was great. Not only were the views from the garden absolutely spectacular, the ballroom opened conveniently on to the terrace, also with beautiful views, allowing for a perfect indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Cathy at La V was also a joy to work with. All of our guests were incredibly impressed and told us how beautiful our wedding was. We could not have been happier with our choice. Thank you for everything, La V!

OMG, where to start. Well, I guess with the man who made our dream wedding come true and was the easiest person in the world to work with, Bobby Fader. From the moment we met Bobby, we knew we were going to be in great hands. His professionalism, upbeat persona, and ability to make any crowd grin from ear to ear is uncanny. Besides the amazing professionalism across the entire team at La Valencia, the location is absolutely breathtaking. Iconic La Jolla palm trees resting in the backdrop with sweeping views of the Pacific set the perfect view for your wedding. Our guests will not stop raving about how our wedding was one of the most beautiful and memorable weddings of a lifetime, and we're confident one of the biggest reasons is because of the amazing hospitality, service, and gorgeous setting that La Valencia provides. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and La V is a place we will always cherish in our hearts!

Bobby was the best part of La V. So helpful and fun. We miss emailing him ! Prompt, inventive, kind and professional. A+

Beautiful hotel. Would NOT recommend this hotel for a wedding unless you do not mind being over promised, underdelivered, then overcharged. The finance department proceeded to charge my credit card without authorization. There are a lot of beautiful hotels in San Diego, I would recommend finding one that handles themselves more professionally and ethically.

La Valencia ruined my Wedding Day. It seemed like a good idea because they do a lot of weddings and how can you go wrong with that view, but BRIDES BEWARE, this was the worst choice I've ever made. There are so many things I could tell you but I'll keep it simple and say there was NO WATER or AC at my wedding. On an 80 degree day, even though we PAID for water (right?) it was the great drought of La V. Guests could not get a drink of water anywhere, especially from the bartenders who gladly charged them $5 for a can of pop when they asked for water. Needless to say our bar tab hit our maximum unexpectedly quick. It all seemed like a scam to keep the room so hot and not have water. We also paid significantly more to have food stations but alas, it was a buffet. Wish we wouldn't paid the buffet price. The food was not only done wrong, it wasn't what we had in our tasting. Again it seemed like a scam. It was cold and scarce. Having paid the extra money and having sent Bobb... Read morey exact photos of what I had in mind made it sting that much more. Since we had expected a food station, we put in our timeline our estimate for dinner but that was blown out of the water when people stood in line for an HOUR. That threw the rest of our wedding timeline so off that we had to skip many events. Even if we stayed longer, many people left due to the heat and thirst. So many other things which I'm happy to tell you if you'd like, but just to name a few: Children were given champagne mixed up with adults given apple juice the bartender refused to hand my mother a can of $5 soda at 8:30 saying they were "about to close up" even though we had paid them (27% gratuity might I add) until 9:30. They lost my bridesmaid's dress at the front desk. Bobby, the wedding planner wasn't even there. Literally did not come to the wedding. DO NOT HAVE YOUR EVENT HERE.

Bobby was incredible to work with. It made the entire process very smooth. It was an incredible celebration and I couldn't have imagined it anywhere else. It was gorgeous.
