We had a spectacular day at the Bahia. Our complimentary room was fabulous, and all the guests had a blast at the wedding. We had the ceremony in the gazebo which was beautiful (and as a plus, pretty quiet). We had the reception on the William D. Evans which was really special. Vida and the kitchen team made tasting for the wedding fun, and the day of the wedding I enjoyed my entree. The complimentary vendors they had (flowers and cake) also did a great job - will be posting reviews separately.

The Bahia was the PERFECT location for our wedding ceremony and reception. From the initial meeting, through the planning stages, and to the day-of, every single staff member, including especially our point of contact, Vida, was professional, warm, detail-oriented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The ceremony site (we picked the pond/garden/gazebo) was stunning and the reception hall overlooking the bay and palm trees was so magical, we barely needed any extra decor as the garden and views were beautiful already! We appreciated how, despite the ceremony being outdoors, it really did feel private and intimate, with the hedges providing a secluded space for us and our guests. The suite they provided us for the night before and the night of was so spacious and comfortable, and a great location for the ladies to get ready together the day of. Truly, it was just the most perfect day, and we had zero stress, thanks to knowing the team was so incredible. Thank you so much!

From the moment I called the Bahia and met with Laura I have been so happy with their service. Shortly after you iron out the details with Laura you meet with Vida, She is absolutely amazing as well. Almost every time I reached out with questions I received a same day response. (Even weekends) I was able to tour all of their venue options at the resort and we chose the Bahia Belle. It's a super cool three story boat that sails the bay during your wedding reception/ceremony. The staff seemlessly executed the reception. We had one small hiccup with the sound system that was immediately addressed and remedied. We were treated like the bride and groom from the moment we checked in hours early. They had our room ready within a half hour. While we waited we had some lunch at the on site restaurant that is delicious and somehow they knew we were the bride and groom and brought us a beautiful dessert on the house. The location is unmatched for the Mission beach area. The rooms on the private beach and the views are so romantic. It is very fairly priced as well. We had so many compliments from guests on the venue and how beautiful everything was. I would highly recommend the Bahia and Laura and Vida. Thank you for making our day so memorable and special.

I have several pages written of our experience (posted on other wedding sites for the full story), but I've condensed it for an overview as pros and cons:Pro:-Beautiful location. We had our ceremony on the beach and reception on the William D Evans boat and that was an incredibly unique experience-They offer a lot in their packages for a decent(ish) price-Luckily lots of positive feedback from our guests, even though the wedding party was stressed to the max because of the venue and staff Cons:-HORRIBLE customer service. From start to finish, it felt like a fight just to get information or even things that we agreed to originally. Any small request like having a signature cocktail at the wedding was immediately shot down. They were not accommodating at all without us putting up a fight or try to charge extra for it (see below).-Every little thing was extra. I get that most wedding venues do this, but there were things that felt like hidden fees. For example, we had the ceremony on the beach (which was already an extra cost) and were under the impression that the cocktail hour would be there as well. They tried to charge us extra for that. Also they tried to charge us for our dogs being there with us (even though it's a dog friendly resort and we told them the dogs would be there) and they even tried to charge us AFTER the wedding for our photographers having a drink at the bar - even though we had already paid for them in the guest count. -The bar tender at our reception was incredibly rude to the guests, and not particularly friendly with the bride and groom either. I don't know if she had a chip on her shoulder or what, but we paid a required 25% gratuity in advance that I'm sure she was included in, and I'm sure she would have gotten more cash tips if she had been friendlier throughout the night. She refused service to a guest who she thought was only a vendor, and actually refused to serve me - the bride - at the end of the night because she had started packing up. Not worth 25% in my opinion and not the kind of energy you want at your wedding. There's so much more that went on in my short few months of dealing with the Bahia, but in short, while it's a beautiful venue in a great location, I would have taken my wedding elsewhere. Just be prepared to fight for what really matters to you in your wedding. My biggest advice would be to hire an excellent wedding coordinator as they require you to hire one anyway - I highly recommend Giulia with GiuliaEvents.com - and don't expect them to make you feel special or excited that you decided to spend a lot of money by choosing this venue for your wedding.

The resort offers all inclusive packages. I can't believe how easy it was to plan my wedding with their destination wedding package. I live in Mississippi, so finding a venue that was able to coordinate with other vendors for me was amazing! The entire team was fantastic and the food was to die for!!!

After our first day of visiting venues in San Diego, my fiancé and I were about to give up on our dream beach wedding. The next day, we went to our last tour at the Bahia Resort and met Heather. She was so friendly, kind, and enthusiastic while she showed us the entire Resort property. The Bahia has its own private beach for ceremonies, a cool bohemian style property, and a vintage style paddle boat where you can hold your reception. Heather also explained that the Bahia has an out of town vendor package which was perfect for us as we were commuting from Los Angeles. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to cancel our plans. Heather and the other Bahia staff members stepped up and did the right thing for us and our families, which is a testament to their character and customer focused operation. Though we cannot say what the day of our celebration would have looked like, we can guarantee that the Bahia value their customers above all else.

Where to start about this venue literally went above and beyond for me and my now husband. To start we got married on the William d Evans which is this huge beautiful boat on their own private dock but they have several different venue Spaces all of them beautiful all of them with a view.Honest to god we wouldn’t have been able to have the wedding of our dreams if it wasn’t for Heather working with us and our budget, it was literally the best venue tour we took,we even ran into the hotel owner on our tour who was nothing less than polite and genuine,no doubt staff is a reflection of leadership. Looking at other venues was the most frustrating part of the entire planning process especially being a younger couple, and wanting to have a beautiful wedding that everyone can enjoy, but not having to sacrifice things like location or the amazing food, But most importantly I got to marry the man of my dreams locally. I was born and raised in San Diego and it was so important to me to not have to sacrifice such an important location to such an important day in my life.Bahia made the process stress free and literally checked all the boxes. The catering coordinator Antonio really cares and is the definition of what it means to be a San Deign, it’s not just work for him we truly felt the heart and the passion that he put into our day. Our wedding reception was on March 15 2020 so a couple of days ago,yes this was all accomplished by Antonio and Bahia while covid 19 pandemic is going on and not once did Antonio falter on me nor my now husband’s special day.The Bahia was so accommodating and willing to do whatever we felt was best given the circumstances, and I cannot stress this enough how I was in so much disbelief that Antonio and the staff and the hotel rallied virus or not they really did care and were there for us when we needed it most. Our guests are still talking about our wedding to this day we had an amazing time, it’s seriously could not have gone any better even I had my doubts given everything that was going on but Antonio and the hotel accomplished the impossible, from the bottom of my heart I could have never been happier getting married anywhere else but the Bahia. We will definitely be going back there every anniversary same bungalow, and I truly hope when I have kids they will get married at the Bahia because I will know for certain they will be in the best hands. For now I hands-down recommend the Bahia to everyone, your only regret will be that you didn’t go see them sooner!❤️🙌

Jenna and Monique were great to work with; Monique helped us with getting everything set early on and Jenna was the best and helped to make the process seamless for us! We had lots of questions and needed guidance along the way while planning, and both Jenna and Monique were great with everything. They were both professional, answered all of our questions promptly, and kept us calm throughout the process, which culminated with our wedding day going off without a hitch! The venue itself is beautiful. We had our ceremony in the pond area which was secluded, private and beautiful and our reception in the ballroom, which was gorgeous with stunning views of the Bay. Even the rescue seals in the front of the hotel were a hit with the guests. If you are looking for a wedding venue with beautiful, serene views and fabulous service throughout the whole process, we highly recommend the Bahia!

To this day, we are still talking about how perfect the wedding was! We are still receiving compliments on every detail of the wedding and venue itself. We had the pleasure of working with Jenna Nickl and Monique Milan. I still remember the day Monique gave us the tour of the venue, and we were sold! I cannot thank Jenna enough for her quick responses to my big and small requests throughout the planning process. I will, especially, never forget her helping to bustle my dress on top of the William D. Evans boat while experiencing a beautiful sunset! We were also very lucky to work with one of their planner/coordinator vendors, Blissful Weddings & Co., as well as their florist, Artistic Flowers. The entire team gave their best efforts and paid close attention to all of our detailed requests which was more than we could ask for. If you want an unforgettable experience, the Bahia is the venue for you!

Kelsey was amazing and helped with every little thing. She even came by during the reception to see if there was anything that we needed. We don't live in San Diego, so through the commotion we lost the flower girl basket and Kelsey was able to get us one to use!! She really helped make the whole event stress free!! For anyone unsure of where to have the reception, on the beach is absolutely gorgeous. Our reception was originally in the ventana Room but then Kelsey suggested That we move to the shellroom and I could not be happier with that period the wall overlooking the Bay is lined with windows so we could see the boats all night. It was just absolutely beautiful!

I had my wedding at the Bahia; our ceremony was in the garden/pond area and our reception was held on the William D. Evans boat. This was a gorgeous venue and such a unique wedding experience for our guests. Monique and Jenna were incredibly organized with keeping track of my selections, coordinating vendors, and communicating with me. On the day of, Jose was extremely helpful with making sure dinner service ran smoothly and making sure my husband and I had what we needed. Our bartender Sam was a guest favorite, very friendly and charismatic, he kept our glasses full all night.I highly recommend the bay-front bungalows, they are more expensive but it was so nice to have a patio and quick access to the beach, a beautiful and convenient room to get ready in.The Tangier bar in the resort was our meeting spot for our walk-throughs and planning appointments, the drinks and bartenders are absolutely amazing. Highly recommend if you're considering a San Diego wedding.

Our experience for our wedding at the Bahia Resort hotel can be summed up in one word...PERFECTION! From the moment we met with Heather Dobler we knew this was going to be a once in a lifetime experience. And, WOW, was it ever. We got married on the beach and had our reception in their great Del Mar Room. The vendor choices that Jenna Nickl worked with us on were outstanding and the entire staff at the Bahia, from check in, bar, restaurant and Cheryl Smith, our amazing wedding captain, were so great that they were almost like a member of our wedding party...and, in this group, that is a great thing. I cannot thank them all enough nor can I ever support and recommend this place and this group more!!!! Thank you and BIG HUGS from us both.

We had such a great wedding at Bahia. We had our ceremony on the bay and then the reception on the William D. Evans boat. This combination offered a unique experience for our guests and everyone had a blast. Our main point of contact at the resort was Jenna and she was awesome. She made the whole process stress and worry free. Plus, she was friendly, communicative and great to work with. I would recommend Bahia to anyone wanting to get married near the water in San Diego, it's absolutely beautiful.

We decided to get married at the Bahia when visiting from the UK in June 2016, with our actual wedding taking place on October 25th 2018. We have worked with a few different people at the Bahia and Kelsey Sellars has by far been the best. Kelsey is very professional and organised, she made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Anything that we worried about Kelsey sorted out and put our minds at ease. She has a great memory and good eye for weddings and detail. We did not have a wedding coordinator because it was a very small wedding, however Kelsey stepped in to help with the organisation which was such a big help for us. The bahia is a beautiful place to get married and I recommend this to anyone reading this review. We chose the del Mar room and a beach ceremony and it was perfect and magical, everything we could ever have dreamed of. Thank you to everyone at the Bahia for their help. Rhiannon and Adam x

Where do we even start! One of the best decisions we ever made was to have our wedding and reception at the Bahia Resort Hotel. Holly, Dedra, Cheryl and the entire Catering/Events team made our wedding the wedding of our dreams! They took away all of the stress of planning a wedding, and made it fun and memorable. They made themselves available whenever we needed them, and always had answers to all of our questions. They were so easy to communicate all of our wants and needs, and just made the whole process stress free. Our wedding was an absolute dream!! Our ceremony was in the gazebo/garden area and our reception was on board the William D. Evans. It was incredibly unique and beautiful. Even our photographers kept saying, “this is a photographer’s heaven!”We had guests coming from all over the world. We wanted a place where everyone could stay, meet, hang out and get to know each other. The Bahia made all of those dreams come true. The entire resort staff went out of their way to be as accommodating as possible to all of our guests. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about the resort, the staff, and just the overall beauty of our wedding. We will definitely be spending our one-year anniversary at the Bahia. We also know of other wedding guests that our also already planning their return!

My husband and I had a wonderful wedding. Dedra was great with communication throughout the planning and prepping of our wedding. She answered all my question and was pretty quick to respond. She made the day of run smoothly and be perfect! We booked a room for the groom and groomsmen the day before our wedding. The day of our wedding they were rushed out of there at checkout time before they were even ready. If they stayed we would have been charged again. That was a huge inconvenience for them. We spent a lot of money with this venue and you’d think they would accommodate the groom. So if you choose to book a separate room for the night before your wedding make sure you ask for a late check out or book it for 2 nights. All our guest loved the food and raves about it. We also wanted to have open bar without breaking the bank and Dedra was able to help us out with a spilt bar that worked out pretty well. The bahia works with a few vendors, If you choose to go with flowers and use the florist that is contracted with them be sure to send them pictures of exactly what you want and go over all the flowers you’d like. I sent a couple pictures of colors and styles of what I wanted and went over different flowers I wanted in the bouquets, Boutonnieres and corsages. The day of our wedding when I saw all the flowers it was nothing that I had asked for. Overall we had a wonderful day and beautiful wedding! I would recommend this venue! You can’t beat the views and location!

We chose the Bahia Mission Ballroom for our Wedding Reception and we were EXTREMELY GLAD we did.From the beginning, Taylor Smith and Holly Nelson were VERY helpful in being very clear on the packages they offer and how they can help us make everything work. We booked the venue a little over a year in advance and from that point all the way to the day of our wedding Holly was extremely helpful, accessible and responsive. She was also very patient as there were moments we were not sure on a decision and needed more time and she was glad to give us that time and make it work.The wedding packages at the Bahia are amazing! Considering what is included (open-bars/3 course meal (yes dessert that is separate from the cake) and the space to name a few) the prices were EXTREMELY reasonable and was the reason we chose them. My then fiancee (now wife) LOVED the ballroom because of the beautiful chandeliers and space and after looking at many other venues beforehand (over 10) we knew this was our choice and we dont regret anything about it.On the day of the wedding, Cheryl Smith and crew were amazing. Getting the food and drinks served not only to us at our sweetheart table but also to our guests was excellent. Our guests mentioned how during the cocktail hour the trays being passed were ALWAYS available. We've been to weddings where the appetizers go missing and servers could not be found but that was not the case here.In regards to the ballroom again, our guests loved it and we were amazed at how beautiful it looked. It definitely hit on the 'elegant' look my wife wanted and we heard many comments that said the same thing. The Bahia is an amazing resort as well.. we were given a room because of booking our reception there and you cannot beat being in San Diego in December and by the beach. All the rooms have a great view or private access to a beach so staying here is definitely something we would like to do again in the future.All in all, when it comes to weddings, I know first-hand of the 'stress' and 'concerns' that arise but when it comes to a venue and working with catering, the Bahia put all that to rest. They are easy to work with, have very competitive packages and have an AMAZING venue. They made our wedding a huge success and we are glad we chose them. So if you need a place for your wedding that can have touches of elegance and an easy team to work with, go with Taylor/Holly/Cheryl at the Bahia.. they'll make it unforgettable.

I recently got married (11.12.17) at the Bahia in the Del Mar room, it was a small (40 guests), Sunday morning brunch wedding. We initially were working with Taylor Smith to book our reception and although that was roughly a year ago, he was so very helpful, kind and pleasant to work with. Brunch weddings aren't a common thing, so for any question that he couldn't answer right away, he would get back to us in a very timely fashion. Once we officially booked the Del Mar room, we were forwarded on to Holly Nelson, who was our contact from that point forward and there with us on our big day! No matter what Holly had on her plate, she always remained friendly, professional and responsive. I had a hiccup with an unresponsive day of coordinator at the halfway mark to the big day and Holly jumped in so fast to ensure we were taken care of and suggested a different coordinator that she absolutely knew we would be happy with. That suggested coordinator (Courtney with Breezy Day Weddings) plus Holly made our big day super stress free and amazing! The two of them worked well together and had great communication with each other, and us. I really appreciated both of their abilities to be friendly with a sense of humor and professional all at once. It took away any \"stuffy\" feelings while planning an event. On the wedding day itself (our ceremony was elsewhere), Holly was 100% there for my Husband and I, making sure we were happy and not \"without\" anything. She made sure we were not hungry and that we always had our drink of choice available to us. There was a moment that Holly noticed that I was visibly uncomfortable and also helpless (Lol...) off to the side of the gathering because there were layers of my dress that were bunching and I couldn't reach them, or find them so she came up to me and helped me adjust the layers of my dress so that they were all laying properly. Seems like such a little thing, but it was HUGE to me, especially because I didn't have a bridal party or anyone specific to look out for me in that way. She was amazing! As part of our reservation, a room was included for the night of our wedding. When we arrived into our bay front room, there was champagne, grapes, chocolate covered strawberries and cards from the staff congratulating us. It was unexpected and super nice. We were able to sit back on the patio lounge chairs facing the water while recapping our day and starting our new life together. Thank you to everyone at the Bahia, you were all so helpful, polite and friendly!

Guests were taking pictures of their plates, the arrangements were fantastic. (even the next day's brunch at the cafe was delightful)THE PACKAGES: Totally affordable and worth it. I only had to deal with 4 other vendors, and I found them when the Bahia hosted an engagement party- fun, easy, and the vendors were incredible too!THE HOTEL: The front lobby and hotel faculty were so lovely accommodating- they gave us a Honeymoon card and even made a couple slices of our wedding cake magically appear in our room that night!

We had a great consultation with Taylor Smith who helped with tons of great options, he showed us the grounds and where our events could take place and really just made things simple from the start. It is truly a beautiful hotel.The food was amazing, the ballroom was spectacular, and the attention to detail was incredible. We loved working with Jayna Prest and Holly Nelson, our Catering Service Manager. They made sure that not only our needs were met as newlyweds but that our friends and family had the time of their lives.We cannot thank them enough for hosting our special day!

My parents were married on the Bahia Bell 30 years ago so I always knew I wanted to have my wedding at the Bahia Resort as well! We were married on the sand at the resort and had the reception on the William D. Evans, and it was everything I ever dreamed of. The staff was so accommodating and so flexiable and understanding. They helped me make my dreams and vision a reality and I honestly had the best experience. I HIGHLY recommend looking into this Venue. I got so many compliments and the picture opratunities at the resort are amazing! My photographer was in heaven and my photos turned out amazing!!! When working with someone at the resort, I recommend asking for Kelsey Sellers. I ended up working for (4) different people and Kelsey bar far was the most helpful! Plus she is so organized and on top of everything, it made the planning process so much easier!

Most beautiful and elegant place to have a wedding, we got married by the beach and had our reception in the ballroom and everything was so perfect. Food was great, staff was awesome to work with, prices were reasonable would definitely recommend Bahia over the rest.

What would I have done without bahia and their amazing friendly staff. I just spent 4 nights here with now my husband chris. Everything was perfect to the rooms, property, venue, staff, and food. They all really went out of their ways to make our day special as well as our guest. Thanks to holly who really was the one and only. She always respinded to my 50 emails I have sent over the past year about our wedding. We are from san jose so do not hesitate if your thinking of a destination wedding Holly got you covered. All of their refered vendors were top of the line and really enjoyed them all. Thank you for making bahia our special spot now.

If I could give the Bahia 10 stars I would. I can't say enough of the catering team and the rest of the hotel for their one of a kind service and the experience they gave us for the week of our wedding. Let me start off by saying that Holly Nelson is an angel on this earth and was there for us from day one up until we walked back into our room at the end of the wedding and were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne. She is thoughtful, sincere, gives genuine advice, listens, and is so quick to respond. She helped us the day before during rehearsal and made everyone feel comfortable about the timeline and where they needed to be. And day of she was there helping me fix my dress (boob tape ladies, don't forget it like I did) and even hold my dress as I walked around the property for pictures and to meet my dad to walk down the aisle. Holly, you truly made our experience so easy, memorable, and fun.. I will forever be grateful for you. You are amazing at what you do. Taylor Smith was our initial contact at the Bahia while we were deciding where we wanted our wedding to be held. He was never pushy, answered any and all questions we had, was very sincere and kind during our whole experience. Jorge MacĂas was our banquet captain day of and he made everything run so smoothly! Everyone loved the food (we did chicken and veggie option), the appetizers were delicious, no one was ever waiting around for drinks, and his crew members and staff were genuinely awesome. *** The Bahia is the perfect place to have your wedding- it takes away the stress of catering, decisions about flowers, the cake, and all the help in between from all of the amazing staff members. We had our ceremony on the beach (so beautiful) and our reception on the William D Evans Sternwheeler. Everyone had so much fun, and although I know people may have just been saying it- I truly believe people when they said that was the best wedding they had ever been to.Thank you Bahia

Waking up to a downpour on the morning of June 10, amazingly, I did not fall apart! My first thought was, “The Bahia has this covered…it is going to be okay!” Based on nine months of working with the Bahia, I had complete peace of mind. And it was truly a beautiful, fairy tale wedding! Our guests raved about the elegance of the venue, the outstanding food, and the exceptional service. The rain did stop, and the ceremony was in the beautiful, tropical Gazebo Garden, and the first dance and the reception were under the gorgeous stained-glass dome ceiling on the magical paddlewheel boat, the William D. Evans The WDE is a spectacular venue….the sun was out while we were cruising Mission Bay, and it was absolutely gorgeous. In addition to the beauty of the venue, what makes the Bahia so special is the staff, whose customer service was excellent from start to finish. Taylor Smith was great in helping us secure our contract. Holly Nelson, our Catering Services Manager, was truly extraordinary! Holly truly epitomizes customer service at its finest. To Holly, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us make so many good decisions about how everything would look and how the day would go…I was only sad that it had to end, and could not stop smiling thinking back on every moment.” Holly is AWESOME! She made everything work! In fact, the overall attitude of the staff at the Bahia is that they are there to make everything work for you. Outstanding staff include: Taylor Smith and Holly Nelson (of course); our Banquet Captain Jeff Radovan; Kelsey Sellars (in the Catering Services office) who was amazing and “talked me off the ledge” one day when I was having a meltdown; Jonathan , Holly and the rest of the crew in the Reservations Office (I am sure I talked to all of them!) who handled SO many special requests with that “Bahia Can-Do” attitude; Kelly (one of the servers at the “Engagement Party” and our reception) is awesome; and the Front Desk Managers and staff, and the Concierge staff, who met our (and our numerous guests) every need. And to ALL of the staff at the Bahia….you are an incredible group! It truly shows that you put customer service as your top priority!Last but certainly not least, the Bahia Wedding Package is an incredible value. They really worked with us to stay within our budget and that was appreciated more than words can express. If you want your wedding day to be filled with romance, beauty, great food, and once-in-a-lifetime memories, you should strongly consider the Bahia!

We planned our small, family-only wedding at the Bahia. We live in Arizona and found the resort online after looking at several others in the area. Taylor Smith returned my call and provided excellent information regarding pricing and what the resort offers for weddings. He put us in touch with Holly Nelson and away we went with planning! We had 30 people come in from all over the country. Everyone had a great stay and the staff was more than accommodating to our family, they even upgraded a couple of the rooms at check in. My husband and I stayed 4 nights in the honeymoon suite and it was amazing!!! The staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the whole stay. Mission Beach is a short walk from the resort and everyone loved walking down to the beach to see the ocean. On our wedding day, Jorge Macias made sure our event went off without a hitch!!! His staff was amazing the whole night, we were very pleased! Our day of wedding coordinator Courtney with Breezy Day Weddings was the best in the business!Overall, I can't recommend this resort enough. Our wedding was perfect and our family was happy...can't ask for much more!

What made our experience most memorable was everyone we worked with at the Bahia – from Kaylana (Sales Manager) who we worked with to set up the event, to Jayna (Catering Manager) who helped us plan everything from our meal selections to the last dance; to Cheryl (Banquet Captain) who ensured our dinner reception ran seamlessly as well as Alyssa who helped coordinate our rehearsal dinner! The staff during the reception were so nice and helpful and the attention to detail was immaculate – even the bartender knew our drink order as soon we walked up to the bar! A special thanks to Jayna for being there every step of the way, making sure every detail was covered! I so recommend the Bahia for a wedding or any event! We stayed the whole weekend and can’t wait to go back to do a staycation soon!!

Thank you to the Bahia Resort Hotel for making our reception a dream come true. My new husband and I could not be more thrilled with how beautiful it turned out. The staff was absolutely magnificent. They catered to every need and request of a few changes. Holy Nelson was our rock throughout the entire process of planning our reception. We couldn't have done this without her. I am so glad we decided to go with this hotel for our wedding reception venue. My father even commented that ours was the best he'd ever been to. We used the marine room that held 13 people very comfortably. I'm so happy we decided to go with a small reception. There was no chaos, it went all so smoothly. And the suggestion for a dance floor to be brought in was brilliant. Other wise I would never have had my first dance with my husband and the father daughter dance that brought tears to everyone's eyes. It was an experience that will be in our hearts forever and we are very grateful for everything your team has done.

We decided to hold our wedding at the Bahia Hotel in San Diego because we wanted to get married on the beach, with the sand between our toes, and wanted a reasonable price. The Bahia gave us a great price for the beach wedding package and so we reserved our date. All along the way, the event coordinator staff that we worked with most at the Bahia (Macarena Carballo, Jayna Prest, Holly Nelson) were phenomenal. The food tasting was great, all the planning communication prior to the event itself was amazing and prompt. They had multiple vendors already a part of the package and so communication with the extra vendors was made easier for me. It was truly the full package and I had minimal work to do outside the DIY stuff that I personally wanted to do. The day of the wedding could not have gone better. I had so many people come up and tell me how beautiful the venue was, the great accommodations, the fantastic food at the reception... The set up of the ceremony site and reception hall were done exactly how we wanted everything and we could not have asked for a better day. I happily recommend them to everyone thinking of having a fantastic wedding in a beautiful San Diego Resort!

While I did not get married at the Bahia, they did provide our wedding room block and we took our first look, family, and bridal party pictures in the garden. I truly want to recognize the Bahia for their excellent service, quality, flexibility, and kindness. First of all, we nearly doubled the number of rooms in our assigned block and the Bahia continued to extend the discounted room rate even though they didn't have to do so. Second, all our guests LOVED the hotel!! Everyone was extremely pleased with the service and we heard no complaints. The hotel even sent champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to our room which were waiting for us after the wedding!! We had planned to take first look, bridal party, and family photos in the tropical garden at the Bahia before we headed to the ceremony but two days before the wedding we were worried about rain and our photographer was concerned about being able to take photos if it was drizzling. I was starting to worry and get a little upset since I didn't want all those photos to be squeezed into our hotel room so I walked over to the catering department and knocked on the door of two women having a meeting (I feel so so bad for forgetting their names!!). I was going to ask if there was any way we could do photos in the Bahia ballroom in case it rained and started to cry a little...I really didn't think I was that upset but it just all came out at once. The two women we SO KIND AND UNDERSTANDING. They got me tissues and listened to me blubber a little before telling me not to worry and ensured that it if rained we would be able to take photos in the ballroom (even though we weren't having our wedding at the Bahia or paying to use the ballroom). Their kindness came at the perfect time and truly exemplified the qualities of the Bahia staff. I would also like to thank the front desk staff who ensured we had parking for all our cars and the restaurant staff which managed our rotating cast of family each morning.

We started off working with Taylor Smith (Sales Manager) and he was quick to respond to all of my emails and very helpful with all of my question leading up to booking our wedding date. The wedding package included catering, cake, and part of the flowers which was very helpful because half the battle can be finding vendors for everything. Jayna Prest (Catering Manager) took over and checked in with us regularly to finalize every little detail of the wedding and ensure that my husband and I would have a perfect wedding day. Jeff Radovan (Banquet Captain) was so helpful on the day of and was standing by to give my new husband and me a glass of champagne to cheers to the occasion.

Jeff Radovan (Banquet Captain) was so helpful on the day of and was standing by to give my new husband and me a glass of champagne to cheers to the occasion. I wish I could relive the day over and over because everything was perfect. I wouldn’t have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else.

I just attended my brother-in-laws wedding at the Bahia and boy was I impressed. Well done to Kaylana and her team at the Bahia. Everything was done just right and it seemed that from the moment we checked in the staff wanted to make sure we had an exceptional stay. The ceremony was beautifully set in this lush garden with cute little ducks ponds (that my daughter and son just loved), next we headed out near the water for cocktails before we were ushered inside for the reception. Again the staff was amazing and the food was great too. We capped the night off with a trip on the Bahia Belle and it was just the perfect way to celebrate the happy couple. Bravo to the Bahia and Kaylana for their great work.

They were patient, understanding, and addressed every concern I had and answered it within hours of me asking. We had complicated centerpieces with live fish (yes, live fish) and they went out of their way to let us store them in a side room the day before. It made the day of so much easier and stress free! They also have great vendor referrals that also went above and beyond for our wedding. I highly recommend The Bahia for every wedding or event. With stunning views and many choices, you can turn it into everything you've ever imagined!

The Director of Catering, Macarena, the Director of Sales, Melissa and the Catering Service Manager, Holly welcomed my husband and I personally with excitement and joy to help serve and prepare for our special wedding day. Our guest received discounted wedding rates and everyone had lovely rooms near the bay. They made the meal planning and ballroom set-up very easy and organized. My father past away the night before my wedding day and Holly personally took care of my family and made sure if we needed any assistance she was made available. We cannot thank her enough for her kindness and compassion and we just simply adore her. I loved working with Holly as we planned the entirety of the wedding and ever vendor the Bahia recommended was excellent! I loved our cake and floral arrangements. Our wedding suite was beautiful and right on the bay. All the rooms are spacious and the bay beach wedding for the ceremony during sunset made the perfect wedding. I loved our Mission Ballroom and we even had a late night taco bar. We will definitely be returning every year to celebrate our anniversary and thank the wonderful Bahia for their service and dedicated hard work. I highly recommend looking at the Bahia for a wedding venue for all the newly engaged! You sure will get a dream wedding!

From wedding planning with Taylor Smith and Holly Nelson to the incredible service from banquet manager Jose Robles and bartender Gerald and team, we were not disappointed.I often hear people say that something went wrong with their weddings, however Kyle and I can say without a doubt that the Bahia and their incredible staff made our wedding weekend beyond perfect (as we look back we cannot find anything that went wrong or was out of place). I never would have imagined that planning a wedding out of state would go so smoothly but it did and the staff at the Bahia made our dream wedding a reality.I cannot thank Holly and Taylor enough for the tireless hours they put into making our wedding perfect. Kyle and I could not imagine working with anyone else. Holly is one of a kind and really puts her heart and soul into the events she coordinates. As one of the catering managers Holly ensured that we were not only happy with our food, decor, and venue, she wanted to make sure we loved it. We used the Bahia for all of our events that weekend, from the Bachelor and Bachelorette parities (they have an incredible pool and Jacuzzi on premise), rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception were all held there. Throughout the weekend we heard our guests say that our wedding what one of the best weddings that they had ever been to, it was no doubt thanks to the effort from the Bahia staff and of course the breathtakingly beautiful property. I also want to mention that the food we had at the Bahia throughout the weekend was by far some of the best food I have ever had, not to mention the best wedding food I have ever had. The chicken with pesto sauce was incredible and their mashed potatoes were perfection, our guests could not get enough. I also want to mention that the staff sent incredible chocolates and treats to our room on the day of our wedding, it was so thoughtful and such a treat to receive. I would recommend this place again and again. Thank you Holly, Taylor, Jose, Gerald, and Maria for everything you did to make our wedding so wonderful.

Empty promises! I just got married here a couple weeks ago.. When we first signed the contract it sounded so awesome. They told us that during cocktail hour they would save us some appetizers on a plate and have them waiting for us after our grand entrance. That didn't happen. They told us that the special vegan meals I had asked for would be delivered to the tables and names I had given them that didn't happen. I had to have the groom go hunt down the chef and ask where they were , they said in the back and the people were supposed to ask for them. Since when? I gave the name and table numbers for a reason!! They don't have signs out for the weddings going on, so a lot of our guest ended up going to other weddings. The day of wedding planner they make you purchase was late on the rehearsal night, also the day of picking up my stuff. She was no where to be found when I needed her, no where to be found when the ceremony ended and guests didn't know where to go from there. She was rushing my photographer via text when we were trying to do our couple pics and of course when we went up to the area that she needed us, she once again was no where to be found. Also just a heads up, we put money on the bar so when the free hours ran out the guest wouldn't have to pay. The tax the money you give them, and take 23% tip out immediately. So if you gave 1k towards the bar, what your really spending is $730. I thought that was un-fair but what can you do when they have you by the balls huh! I guess the only good things about this resort were, the honey moon suite and view, and the awesome spots for picture taking! Parking for the guests though is rough so make sure they get there early!

Overall I was thrilled with the Bahia's location, picturesque venue, and their food was impressively delicious. \r\rI would absolutely recommend this venue to future brides, but I would note a few points of caution:\r\r- Our suite wasn't ready for us when we arrived, and though the staff quickly fixed the issue, we were put in a suite that was the furthest possible room from the wedding location. Be sure to specify which room you want, if you can!\r\r- They hold multiple weddings/events per day, and there was a reception in the ballroom adjoining ours at the same time. It wouldn't have been an issue if both parties were eating dinner or dancing at the same time, but since ours was a later reception, our toasts were interrupted by the other party's loud music. You could avoid this same scenario by working with the in-house staff to coordinate your timeline with the timelines of any other events that are occurring on your same date. \r\rOverall, I found their staff to be wildly accommodating and flexible, and we were able to have a wedding that was truly personalized and unique. Their food was truly top-notch, and their bar menu is extensive as well. \r

You could avoid this same scenario by working with the in-house staff to coordinate your timeline with the timelines of any other events that are occurring on your same date. \r\rOverall, I found their staff to be wildly accommodating and flexible, and we were able to have a wedding that was truly personalized and unique. Their food was truly top-notch, and their bar menu is extensive as well. \r

I just had my wedding at the Bahia on 9/21/13. The venue was amazing! We got married on the beach and had our reception in the mission ballroom. It is one of the few places in San Diego that you can get married on the actual sand through a resort. In fact, it was the only we found in the mission bay/shelter island area that could hold approx 180 people. The Hilton in Mission Bay allows you to get married on the beach, but because the boardwalk area and beach are public areas they can't really make the area decently private and anyone can walk on the boardwalk area while you are getting married. At the Bahia people roaming around is limited to guests and I didn't see any really hanging out during our wedding. I highly recommend the Bahia for a beach ceremony. Most other places you can get married on the grass of the bay, but not the sand. \r\rAlso the mission ballroom is gorgeous and has an amazing view of the bay. The floor length windows truly let you and your guests enjoy it! The chandeliers are also gorgeous! The columns allow for great up lighting! I highly recommend up lighting! Also the area is pretty private ... You have an elevator going up directly to the ballroom and your own bathrooms for the floor and only you can access them (minus anyone that randomly wonders up to your floor, however it's kind of obvious if they do). There are parts a-d and we rented a-c as that fit our guest count of 180.\r\rThe packages at the venue are super inclusive, which we loved!! They were inclusive, but allowed for a lot of personalization and a lot of choices. It was perfect because we had a lot of choices to make, but I was not overwhelmed because the package came with certain things and it was a matter of choosing the color or between a few types or a few different vendors. There were several things you could upgrade to and the fees were not significant. Based on the 8 venues we looked at, the Bahia included more in their package by far than other venues that we looked at. \r\rBeth Hunt is an amazing Catering Sales Manager! We loved working with her. She is easy going and super responsive and extremely helpful!! We also appreciate all the hard work of Cheryl (Banquet Captain), Event Elements (anything and everything for the tables at the reception), Edelweiss Bakery and all of the wait staff as they made our wedding amazing as well. They were all wonderful! The food was really good!! It also came with a raspberry ice cream desert that everyone loved. We got lots of compliments on the dinner, desert & appetizers. \r\rBeth also left chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in our room for after the wedding! So sweet! We also had a suite for 2 nights included in our package! It was perfect!!!\r\rI highly recommend the Bahia. There are so many perfect photo locations. For us the Bahia was perfect ... Very reasonable price (for San Diego) and one of the few places you can get married on the beach that is pretty private. Also the staff is easy to work with and very accommodating and helpful! \r\rThe bar at the Bahia is a great place to gather.

The hotel offers a private beach for lots of activities where brides can have their wedding and honeymoon in one. We couldn't have our reception on the beach as we previously wanted but Beth worked hard to compensate for us and we were able to have our reception on the beautiful William D. Evans steam ship which was gorgeous inside! My guests couldn't stop amazing at the beautiful architecture of the ship as well as the mural painted on the ceiling. We had an amazing reception that was topped off by next door's Sea World fireworks that made the evening all the more special. \r\rMy husband and I talked about returning to Bahia for our second honeymoon and we hope to spend more time enjoying the resort the second time around. I'm definitely looking forward to it!

I have to begin by stating the Bahia is a wonderful resort. To be able to have your wedding there is the \"best\" experience you will ever have. I had my wedding with 75 guests aboard the William J Evans paddle boat for a day wedding. We had the ceremony on the ship, cocktail hour with appetizers, lunch, wine and open bar. The package is pretty much all inclusive for a very reasonable price. After lunch we cruised in Mission Bay for 2 hours. There is room for a DJ for dancing also. What made this event so special was there was so much to do. You could sit upstairs outside, dance, socialize at the bar area or just sit at a table and relax on the other floors. Kadi Duff, Wedding Events Coordinator was seamless in her knowledge, calm, helpful and patient. She was there the day of the wedding and made sure everything was flawless. Macarena was always there when needed as well. I have had so many people comment to me that this was the best wedding they ever attended. I have to agree it was a lot of fun. If I had to do it over again, I would. I highly recommend having your wedding at the Bahia.

The Bahia was a fabulous place to hold my wedding! The view from the ballroom was incredible and the room required minimal decoration to make it look amazing (thus saving a lot of money). Their rates were the best out of ALL of the hotels in that area, and they offered the most bang for the buck! Two nights in the bridal suite, cake included, two hours of hosted bar, etc. Plus they were VERY flexible in accommodating my requests, which is hard to find in a hotel venue. My only negative is the catering manager (Lindsey) I worked with became hard to contact as my wedding date approached. She didn't correspond and follow up with me in a timely manner whatsoever. All in all everything was fabulous but I would have preferred her to be more consistent and \"on top of things\". That would have given me one less thing to think about as the big day approached!

My husband and I are both from the east coast, and therefore had mostly out of town guests at our wedding. We knew we wanted to find a place on the water in the centralized Mission Bay area so they could use our wedding as an excuse for a vacation. We loved Paradise Point Resort, but it was crazy expensive, and seemed that nothing was included in the package. Same goes for the Hyatt. It came down to the Dana, The Bahia, and The Catamaran. All reasonably priced for their amazing locations. Once we saw the Bahia Mission Bay Ballroom we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. Elegant floor to ceiling windows with views of the sunset on one side, and views of the fireworks on the other. Our only \"complaint\" was that they didn't have an outside area for cocktail hour. This was something that was very important to us as we wanted our guests to soak in the outdoor \"California feel. Our coordinator worked with us to overcome this shortfall, and jumped through hoops to have our cocktail hour approved to be on the Bahia Belle (of course for an extra charge, but well worth it). This was the highlight of our day...having all our guests on the top deck for a casual one hour chartered cocktail cruise around the bay. Then we filtered up to the Mission Bay Ballroom for serious partying and dancing. It was the perfect combination. Beth, and the rest of the crew did a spectacular job at ensuring everything was up to par with our expectations. We did add in the day of coordinator, which I would recommend, b/c she helped deal with a couple of issues I would have never wanted to throw at a family member to take care of. All in all a perfect day, and a spectacular time had by all. Numerous guests have told us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. You really can't go wrong, the package includes EVERYTHING except for your outside vendors. Made it very easy to plan, and even easier to relax and enjoy on the big day. Last note...the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and lush, and make for the most beautiful tropical pictures. I would recommend to anyone!

They had another event booked the weekend we had our wedding which was going to hinder our guests from staying at the Bahia and block the roads from guests arriving. If my father had not gotten involved with the police department and the city of San Diego, things would not have gone well. Let's just say they need to communicate better and they need to make their customer their priority..

The Girls in the sales office were very helpful and accomodatiing to out every need. If you decide to use the Bahia for your special day, please see Susan and lindsay in the Sales Office.. they made sure that my husband and I were happy with every detail of our wedding and that our every request was met!. The outside ceremony space as well as the ballroom over looking the water were absolutely beautiful. The Only things I would tell all brides and grooms about the Bahia is pay very close attention to the details of room reservations with the discount they offer to wedding guests. Since we fell on Spring Break, the same price was not honored the closer we go to the wedding for wedding guests b/c we did not do a room block, which they required a 2 night min. After the ceremony I would have liked to have more time at the actually ceremony site. There was another wedding booked right behind us, so we were ushered out of the area a lot quicker than we would have liked. With those two things being said, If we had to do it all over again, my husband and I would DEFINETELY get married at the Bahia Resort Hotel again!

Not only do they have the only hotel ballroom that doesn't look like every other generic hotel ballroom you've ever seen, their package is amazing! They charge less per head than all the other hotels, and they include so much in their basic package that everyone else charges extra for! Dinner, hors d'oeuvres, 2 hours of hosted bar plus a wedding cake and chair covers with colored sashes. The ceremony package included flowers to decorate the gazebo and rose petals for the aisle. You also get a free suite for the night before your wedding and the night of. Susan, the catering manager was very accommodating and was quick to return calls. The only downfall is that the hotel rooms are pretty crappy. If you have picky out of town guests, you may wish to recommend that they stay somewhere else for the night.

I had my wedding reception at the Bahia Resort. I booked it only 10 weeks before my wedding because my previous venue canceled on me! Lindsay was great to work with and she gave us a discount on the late booking. Everything was so easy thanks to the Bahia. The resort is gorgeous and there are spectacular views everywhere. Prices are right too!

The Bahia is located right on Mission Bay. The Mission Ballroom is beautiful. There are windows wall to wall and the chandeliers are beautiful. The wedding staff is wonderful and on top of planning. I would recommend The Bahia to anyone looking for a romantic and gorgeous location for their wedding. Can't wait to have my wedding here in less than a month.

My wedding rehearsal was set to start just hours after the massive southern CA power outage began. Freaking out as I was, our Bahia coordinator was calm, professional, and managed to get us through our rehearsal, and then suggested we go take a look at how the reception room was coming together - which was a great idea in my opinion! The next morning, I woke up to a voice message from someone (can't remember who), assuring me they were already hard at work at preparing for our wedding which was set to take place that evening.\r\rA few things I remembered noting...\r1) The ducks. During the rehearsal, there were ducks in the pond behind the gazebo. I was assured there would be no ducks at my wedding, and there weren't.\r2) The food. We ended up having stations, and I had mentioned not wanting to try and carry what could be potentially messy and disastrous red sauces (enchiladas and a red sauce for pasta...) while wearing my wedding dress. Easy enough - one of the wait staff served my husband and I at our sweetheart table.\r3) The power outage. What bride wouldn't be freaking out the night before her wedding and the entire county is without power with no explanation? But, once the actual wedding happened, you would never have known. Everything came together flawlessly!

Our wedding at the Bahia Resort on July 17, 2011 was amazing! We couldn't be happier & all of our guests loved the location. Lindsay our catering manager was wonderful & so was our day coordinator Caitlin. Thanks ladies for being awesome. The food was delicious & would recommend this resort to any upcoming brides. The honeymoon suite was really nice, the patio leads you right onto the beach. Lots of great picture opportunities around the garden area.

It poured on the day of the wedding and the staff made a considerable effort to relocate our ceremony and cocktail hour indoors. The event ran smoothly and we couldn't have been happier!

Spectacular dinner on the sternwheeler boat. More affordable than expected. The catering staff and service was excellent. The coordinator was not prompt replying to my various questions throughout the planning process. She avoided answering some questions entirely or didn't know answers & would never call me back. It was frustrating. Especially the boat was not docked in time for the vendors to arrive on the boat to set up. Seems as if the overbooked the boat & my DJ couldn't set up his equipment until the last minute.

My wedding was a real dream come true. I attended a wedding at the Bahia prior to mine and I was immediately sold. Using candles and the beautiful chandeliers, the room is just stunning. My over-all experience with the Bahia was mostly positive, but I will point out the pitfalls so you are aware. \r\rI know I'm a type A personality, but responses to emails weren't exactly timely. I will say that they do try to be as accommodating as possible. At one point I had a guest list that was too large and they were very willing to help me work through that dilemma. Similar to my beef about the delayed emails, the Bahia coordinator I worked with didn't get me the room/table layout until the day before the wedding. This made it extremely difficult to print place cards etc. \r\rAt the wedding itself, there were two paid drink hours and although the times were designated in advance, our guest were still sitting at dinner when the bar apparently reopened, therefore the paid drink hour wasn't utilized by our guest. Of course in the moment, this wasn't something I realized and I wish their staff had notified me. We also paid for extra bottles of wine for each table, but weren't told that the bottles wouldn't be left on the table. If the servers didn't offer wine as frequently as our guest wanted it, who knows if the extra wine we purchased was even used. Oh and the reason we had to go with extra wine was because hosting just beer at the bar wasn't an option. Our only options were a cash bar, hosted bar or limited time hosting. I really wish a beer only hosting option were made available. \r\rThe Bahia was great about cleaning up each table as the evening went along. This included my candles that burnt out at different times of the night. It made it easier for clean up. They also did a great job of preparing the cake cutting and cleaning up of the cake. By the end of the night everything was nicely boxed and ready to go. I will caution you to not have your gift tables/other tables at the entryway. Some wedding crashers attempted to make off with our cake (which was on the table in the entry way), but my brother caught them in the elevator. The food itself was great and the service was wonderful. I had asked for a special wedding drink for our guest and didn't specify a drink beyond the color. They picked an awesome selection and my guest still rave about it! \r\rEven though a two-night stay at the resort comes with the wedding package, I wouldn't stay there on your wedding night. I'd save it for a different get-away weekend. The rooms are quite old and our suite was something straight out of a 60s or 70s era. Let's say it wasn't everything I dreamed of. One thing the Bahia did do right was leave us a surprise in our room. I won't spoil it for you, but I did want to say that the \"surprise\" was very thoughtful! \r\rReviewing the positives and negatives, I'd do it all over again making a few changes to avoid the pitfalls. I think it's a pretty good deal.

My husband and I are very satisfied with our wedding experience at The Bahia. We went to The Hyatt across the street and were not crazy about it plus it was very expensive. We decided to stop at The Bahia and not only did we LOVE the ceremony and reception sites, it was FAR more affordable! We decided almost immediately to have our wedding there. Our catering manager was Allison Miller who was absolutely amazing through the entire thing. She attended to all of our questions and concerns throughout the process with immediate attention. She was never anything but completely nice and reassuring. I cannot imagine how the wedding day would have gone with her as well as the coordinator Hannah. Both of them were there for us during all of the problems (not involving the hotel but the family, vendors etc). Allison and Hannah were my saving grace that day. \r\rThe ceremony and reception were beautiful, the food was wonderful and the cake was awesome. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful wedding it was. Thank you Bahia!
