About This Vendor
A Tropical Landmark Steeped in Local Heritage
Bali Hai Restaurant is a unique wedding venue located in San Diego, CA. This destination has a rich history that is peppered with the romance of mystery and Hollywood. To this day, the establishment remains one of the largest original tiki temples in the world. The restaurant opened in 1954, but its history began even earlier. To understand restaurateur Tom Hamās accomplishment at Bali Hai Restaurant, the past must be delved into, focusing on about 20 years prior. It was in the year 1935 that a movie titled āThe Bountyā was filmed on Catalina Island. This film starred actor Clark Gable, who played a man named Fletcher Christian. A Tahitian village was erected on the island, creating the set for the cinematic tale. To support the crew as filming took place, a bar was built below Gableās sleeping quarters. This bar was fondly referred to as Christianās Hut, named after his character. The bar was subsequently relocated to Newport Beach after shooting, inspiring franchises to spring up in various locations. The last surviving of these was San Diegoās. Tom Ham saw an opportunity in the bankrupted building, bringing it back to glory and renaming it Bali Hai. In addition to this endeavor, he also opened a functioning lighthouse, thus creating lasting landmarks in the San Diego region. With elements from the roots of the establishment, including a goofy and lovingly conserved tiki-head, the Bali Hai Restaurant was refurbished in 2010. This helped to bolster the locationās success in the modern era, influencing the Ham familyās growing record of Mai Tais sold. This island environment is an enchanting wedding location with a picturesque backdrop. Couples and their guests will be able to enjoy scenic views of San Diego Bay and the downtown city skyline. Events large and small can find an ideal spot on the island, and there are plenty of versatile event spaces to choose from. A private event team is on-hand to assist a betrothed coupleās every need. This team is prepared to provide their expertise in event planning in order to make a wedding celebration one to remember. They are skilled in offering both solutions and guidance throughout the entire process, making events run smoothly with practical finesse. Should couples have questions about spaces or services, they are encouraged to reach out to Bali Hai Restaurant to have a chat about their wedding possibilities.

Pros: This was a great place to have a wedding! We chose the outdoor area. The service was really great and communication. The view is unbeatable! Everyone loved the drinks.Cons: I would give the food a 3.5/5. I wish the decor/furniture was more modern. It would have been nice to dock our sailboat overnight at their dock but it was not allowed.

We canāt thank enough everyone at Bali Hai, especially Brittany and Jenny, who made all of our wedding dreams come true! From the first meeting to the wedding day and even after then weāre very responsive, upfront, helpful and so kind! I am a native San Diegan and having been going to Shelter Island and Bali Hai since I was little and always knew I wanted my wedding there! You cannot beat the view, scene, and atmosphere. Even when we had rain for the ceremony the whole Bali Hai staff were soo quick and professional you never even know it was supposed to be outside! Actually being inside was better and it made for the most amazing after rain photos! They also worked very well and and efficiently with our other vendors, and it was very helpful that they had a list of vendors they had used before that we could go over, and we ended up using for our floral and dessert vendors. We also liked how the pricing was split into 3 payments spread apart, which helped a lot with budgeting. The food was delicious! When we had our tasting everything was soo good it was hard to narrow down! Having the famous Bali Hai Mai Tai at cocktail hour was a necessity and a hit! Highly highly recommend! Thank you again Bali Hai! šŗ šš¤

Wow, words canāt even describe how amazing our experience was with Bali Hai and their staff. Everything was absolute perfection. There is no doubt we picked the right location for our wedding ceremony and reception. The views, the tropical ambience, the service, and the communication were the best. They definitely know how to do weddings and they are damn good at it. Brittany, Jenny, and Ashley were so accommodating throughout the entire process and answered all of the million questions that we had. Itās always tough to have a wedding at a destination that you donāt live in, but they made it so easy and seamless.The ceremony and reception itself was nothing but beautiful and we canāt thank them enough for executing it so perfectly. Everything flowed so well and you can tell that their extensive experience shined. All of the staff were so attentive, from the staff captain to the bartenders to security, and it made our night so special. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their time and could not stop complimenting how beautiful Bali Hai was and how they truly felt that they were in a tropical paradise. From the view of the water to the bonfire pit outside, everything was amazing.

Thank you SO much to the amazing Bali Hai staff who worked our wedding. We had the most amazing night and everything was perfect. We got so much great feedback from our guests about how great the food and drinks were, how fun the bartenders were, and how smoothly everything went all night. I would like to personally thank whoever worked their absolute magic on my cake. The company I ordered my cake from originally actually lost it and never delivered it, meaning I ended up handing three small, smushed grocery store cakes to the Bali Hai staff. I just said \"is there anything you can do with this?\" and they whisked the cakes away, returning with the most beautiful cake. I can't even believe it was the same cake, I am so grateful you completely saved the day. Thank you again for everything!!

My husband and I got married at the Bali Hai on November 6th. We had a wonderful experience there and have absolutely no bad things to say. Jenny and all the Bali Hai staff members were responsive, accommodating, courteous, and professional. Despite changing regulations due to COVID, I maintained communication with Jenny for about a year during the planning process. As the wedding date approached, we smoothly transitioned to fine-tuning details and creating a wonderful event. All of our guests raved about the food and cocktails- everything was an absolute success! Thank you so much to Jenny and her staff for a wonderful evening filled with new memories.

I'm am so happy Bali Hai had openings on my wedding day (10.23.21). They were very reasonably priced for the San Diego area, the people I worked with were incredibly nice and professional, and the venue itself is breathtaking and picture-perfect. Working with Jenny was amazing -- she kept me super well-informed during the planning process, and was a dream to work with. She worked with us so we got the biggest 'bang for our buck' food/beverage-wise, and everyone was incredibly happy with the food and drinks! I seriously have zero cons about this place -- if you're looking for value, professionalism, gorgeous views, and amazing food, Bali Hai is your spot!

We booked the Bali Hai for our wedding reception. The main coordinator Jenny made the planning portions so simple. She was extremely responsive over email. We loved that the Bali Hai provided the linens, tables / chairs, and food / drinks for the event all together. We ended up in the Hawaiian Village area outside & it was a simply gorgeous experience. Everything was prepared for our arrival at 3pm - tables, place settings, bar. Jenny stopped by several times to ensure we had everything that we needed. The wait staff were SO kind - they made sure our sweetheart table (for the bride/groom) was fully stocked with water, food, drinks & checked in on us multiple times. The bartender Mia was excellent and accommodated our guests various custom drink orders throughout the night. Our guest said the reception was a 12 on a scale of 0-10 (10 being amazing). If we ever have an important event to celebrate again as a family, we'd definitely return to the Bali Hai!

My husband I were married at the Bali Hai a few weeks ago and it could not have been a more perfect and fun day! We worked with Jenny Benitez who was just so amazing, patient, and as informative as possible during the pandemic and times of uncertainty. We are so grateful to her for her part in making our day so special. The venue itself was also amazing! It is a gorgeous location and the views are unbeatable! It was so great to have the ceremony and reception just steps apart and beyond convenient to have the Bali Hai team set up all the tables, chairs, and linens for both events. The food and drinks were incredible and we are truly grateful for such a memorable day! If you live in San Diego and are looking for a \"destination wedding\" feel - the Bali Hai is the place to go!

I was hoping BH would follow up after our wedding & I could express these concerns privately, but a week later & nothing, which demonstrates my concerns. Our original venue cancelled our wedding & Bali Hai opened up. We booked immediately & began quickly planning. Planning was smooth & their coordinator is very nice and accommodating. We had our walk through & tasting. Everything was great & we were so excited.Flash forward to wedding day. We get BH & there is absolutely no signage/directional or staff member to guide guests. Everyone was just standing around lost & no one came up to the group. Finally, my mom asked a server. To get to our area, they had us walking through a dining room full of patrons & the attitude of the staff was that we were interrupting their dinner service not welcoming a wedding.We had the Hawaiian Village outside booked for our reception. They have these gates to signify/separate your space, which is great. However, they had outside dining tables SO CLOSE to the gates that we didn't even feel comfortable leaving our card box out. There was ample space for them to at least leave a gap of four tables worth of space to make it obvious that this was an event. Instead, it was again awkward walking through diners. It really felt like we were just another dinner reservation to them. The only people that offered me & my husband ācongratulationsā when walking through were the patrons, not the staff.My bridesmaids helped my coordinator with last minute touches prior to guest arrival. The bartenders apparently thought the event started at 5:30pm (not 5) & were rushing to set up the bar. One of the bartenders pushes his fruit caddy and knocks over our custom bar sign, cracking it. A similar situation happened later in the evening when one of our toasting flutes went missing from our sweetheart table. Thinking it must have been bussed, my coordinator went to ask the staff. Their response was āoh, it broke.ā So obviously it was broken when clearing the table at some point but they werenāt even going to say anything.The food at the tasting was great. We even upgraded to a ribeye. We had roasted potatoes and Asian stir fry veggies as the sides. I was shocked when the entrees were served & there were literally 4-5 little pieces of potatoes & even less veggies. All just slopped on the plate with the meat. If this is how it was served to us ā the bride & groom- I can only imagine what our guests received. The ribeye was good but many complained the sea bass was tasteless, when it was so good at the tasting ā¹. The cake was next, provided by us, but cut & served by BH. We got served ours first & I thought everything was great until later when guests started asking me when the cake would be served. Surprised I went around asking & it seems several tables were not offered cake, which made sense when I was given back 2 whole cakes. The night ended & I was immediately given the check. This isnāt the end of the world but it did solidify the feeling that our wedding was nothing more than another dinner to them considering they had my credit card on file authorized & everything but the night of bar bill was paid. The Bali Hai is a great location with hotels nearby & a great tropical feel which is why I still give it 3 stars. Unfortunately, I think collecting money is more important to them than making your event memorable. You canāt get your wedding day back ā what you remember is how you were treated & how you felt.

When my husband & I were able to visit to see the venue & do our menu tasting we found that the photos truly donāt do Bali Hai justice. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Jenny is an amazing coordinator who made the whole process seamless - we had no stress throughout the planning process or on our wedding day. My MIL has severe food restrictions, and Jenny worked with us & the chef to craft a meal specifically for her, that she loved.

After calling around, interviewing and visiting 10 different venues, Bali Hai stood out above the rest for both affordability and for the unbelievable venue site right on the water over looking San Diego bay. After deciding on Bali Hai and locking in a early 2020 wedding date we have had nothing short of a perfect experience with both Jenny and Kendall. They are easy to talk to and very attentive to our request, not to mention the food is amazing.

They were extremely responsive which we appreciated. The venue is absolutely stunning, the views of downtown are an amazing backdrop for a wedding. The food and drinks were outstanding. They offer a variety of different packages and we were able to find one perfect for us. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is considering.

The best decision we could have made for our wedding was hiring the Bali Hai as our reception venue. From the staff, to the food, to the beautiful views, everything about the Bali Hai was perfect. Jenny and Kendyll were so prompt to respond to any and all questions I had regarding the venue, and were very flexible with some rescheduling due to my husband's deployment, and a death in the family. I come from a large Italian family, so we've been to our share of weddings, and everyone in my family is saying this is by far the best wedding they'd ever been to. The food was fantastic, and you just can't beat those views. Do yourself a favor, and book the Bali Hai for your wedding!

The venue was awesome. The back drop of the San Diego skyline as well as the bay made a beautiful place for pictures. Jenny and kendyl were amazing working with us while we were in a different state. Their hard work and dedication made our special day amazing. The food was great. It was especially awesome for the owner to great us and made sure everything was inline and if that there was anything we needed just let him know. It was awesome that they had security ensuring no one would interrupt our outdoor wedding. We highly recommend the Bali Hai to anyone that is looking for an amazing venue, awesome staff and the best two ladies ensuring that your day goes off without a problem!!!!

Bali Hai is simply the best! We got married 2 weeks ago, and every time we've chatted with any of our guests, they rave about what a great venue Bali Hai was - the food (tri-tip and salmon were AMAZING), the drinks (we recommend the punch bowls!), the view, it all makes for a great party! Working with the Jenny and Kendyll was a breeze and they took care of everything for us. We used the Hawaiian Pavillon for our reception and loved being outside. Our guests liked the fire pit right outside and being able to walk along the water if they needed a breather from all the dancing. Definitely check them out, I couldn't be happier with how our big day went.

Bali Hai has a completely professional and efficient staff that made the wedding day run very smoothly! The food was great and the flow of the evening was top-notch. The Hawaiian Village was a perfect indoor-outdoor venue for dinner, and we used the South Pacific room and patio for cocktails and after-dinner cake and dancing space. Banquet staffers Jenny and Kendyll were sensitive to costs, made helpful suggestions, and clearly care about making Bali Hai events special. They worked with us on bringing in our own wine, and even unloaded and chilled it for us.Beautiful venue, amazing views, great staff, great food, great service! We are fans for life of Bali Hai, and will come back whenever we visit San Diego.

We had our wedding here this May and it was great! The event coordinators at the Bali Hai were super easy to work with and accommodating to our requests. We really wanted to have our wedding our the bay for the scenery and because we have done a lot of sailing together there. What sealed the deal for me was the Bali Hai has their own dock and I was able to arrive and depart by boat. The day of the wedding, I took my Best Man and brothers sailing, tied up and then got ready for the ceremony. My bride got ready in a room they have upstairs for that purpose. Most of our out of town guests stayed at the Bay Club hotel nearby and were able to walk to the venue. Shelter Island has other Hotel options and for those on a budget there would be other options nearby. For those that drove, there is plenty of free parking. The view of San Diego from the Bali Hai at night is outstanding. We chose to have a buffet and was little a concerned about how the quality of the food would be when it was served, but it did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations. I didn't hear one negative comment about any of the food from our guests and feel they all had a great time! We have no regrets choosing the Bali Hai and would highly recommend it.

We have high standards for food as do our family members and they executed the meal in mass quantity well! We also had pie for our dessert and Bali Hai was accomodating enough to hold them in their fridge/oven during our ceremony/reception. Their event coordinating staff is highly organized, very responsive and detail-oriented. Plenty of great views and I highly recommend the Hawaiian Village for an open, yet covered, space :)

It was purely an accident that we found the Bali Hai restaurant for our wedding. But, oh my goodness, did we ever find a treasure!? The experience and the setting could take your breath away! It was the perfect venue for our wedding and the 75 guests who came from all over the country and California. Having lived in Hawaii, we felt that we were able to treat our guests to a special Aloha spirit and hospitality! Regardless of what you choose for dinner (the choices were all excellent!), you definitely have to try the coconut shrimp as an appetizer! We can't say enough positive things about the help provided by Jenny and Kendyl from the beginning of our planning to the very last song on our special night. We loved having our ceremony right on the harbor with the sunlight shining on San Diego in the background. When the sun went down, the lights of San Diego \"wowed\" our guests. Without a doubt, the Bali Hai helped our dream wedding to come true.

My husband and I chose Bali Hai because they gave us the option of renting out both inside and outside venues, so we essentially rented the entire downstairs for our guests. Everything went smoothly from our ceremony, to our cocktail hour, to our reception. We had dinner outside and then moved drinks and desserts (with the Photo Booth) inside. The fire pit was an amazing addition. Most of our guests were from out of town. So they were able to escape the East Coast glum and enjoy the San Diego skyline and the amazing food and drinks. The Mai Tai was a hit (as was the consumption bar we chose to do). I wish I could do it all over again.

Decadent ocean views, amazing food - and most importantly, one-stop-shop wedding accommodations truly make Bali Hai the BEST San Diego has to offer! My husband and I recently got married here and can not say enough wonder things about Jenny and the entire Bali Hai team! The gorgeous venue and legendary mai tai cocktails speak for themselves; but what really made the experience so great was the option to book an affordable, all-inclusive wedding that took the work out of planning. They did it all! The venue, food, drinks, flowers, decor, cake, photographers, DJ - EVERYTHING! Instead of searching all around town to book one vendor here, and one vendor there, Bali Hai brought them in for us at one flat rate. Oh, and p.s. these we're not just some middle of road vendors, we looked them up - and they all had 5 stars and delivered exactly what we wanted (i.e. Tess Flowers, MyDJs, V.G. Donuts, True Photography - all top notch)! All we had to do was send sample pics to Jenny and her team took care of the rest :). Thank you for making our day so special and magical Bali Hai!

First of all, Jenny and Kendyll at the Bali Hai were both excellent at communicating and accommodating to our requests. My fiancĆ© and I chose the highest buffet package which included plenty of options for the main course and sides. The package included three tray passed appetizers, wine at dinner, the champagne toast, and an hour hosted bar during the cocktail hour. We ultimately chose to have both the ceremony and reception at the venue to make the most of our money and most of all our time that day. This was a great decision as we never once felt rushed, and our guests didnāt have to travel in between two places. The venue is gorgeous, the food was good, the guests liked it and we did receive compliments, the drinks and banquet staff were awesome. The staff took care of my fiance and I in particular so well during the night of the event, we arrived to our table full of food just for us, and our glasses were full all night long.We honestly had THE best night of our lives, and we will never forget it. This is definitely due in part to the venue and the staff at the Bali Hai. BUT, I must say that there were some aspects of our experience that didnāt sit extremely well with me. The Bali Hai runs like a well-oiled machine when it comes to their events, but at some points it really felt like that; a machine with not a lot of human touch. From our first visit to the Bali Hai I knew that I loved it, but it was because I knew that it would meet all of our needs and be a great canvas for my vision for our wedding. But I never really felt like our wedding mattered a great deal to them, which a real bummer is considering how much money we were committing to give them. Now, I know that weddings are SUCH a business these days, but I really think it would do venues well to put in just the little extra effort. I had to reach out to inquire about our tasting, months after I had already put money down. And, I didnāt even hear a word from them as far as well wishes or checking in to make sure everything went well on our night after we left at midnight on the dot at the end of our wedding. With all of that being said, I would still highly recommend the Bali Hai for an event, but just something to know going into an event with such significance as a wedding.

My husband and I went to 17 different venues, and specifically chose the Bali Hai to the beautiful scenery, family atmosphere, warm welcome, delicious food, outstanding customer service, and high level of attention to details. The Bali Hai spent ample time with my husband and I to address all of our questions and special requests, and were so patient and compassionate. The entire staff at the Bali Hai was friendly, family oriented, had superb customer service, and went above and beyond to make our wedding day so beautiful and special. Kendyll was extremely helpful throughout our entire engagement, and always followed-up with our questions and requests. Kendyll always remained positive, helpful, took initiative at solving everything wedding related, and was always warm and friendly. Any wedding scenario that arose, Kendyll was able to solve swiftly and confidently, while always maintaining a focus on making our wedding day so special and full of love. It was evident that Kendyll has poured her heart and soul into the wedding industry and truly believes in her work. The Bali Hai communicated all details, addressed everything as promised and on time, and was also friendly, positive, and made a beautiful assembly for our wedding! All of our guests complimented how beautiful the scenery was, how delicious the food was, and how helpful and friendly the staff was! Both my husband and I highly recommend the Bali Hai for your wedding venue! All of our guests constantly communicated how perfect and beautiful our wedding was (and we had a large wedding party with a lot of special requests). The sunset on the harbor added a special touch with photos as well! Many thanks to Kendyll, Jenny, and the staff at the Bali Hai for all of their help, assistance, compassion, high attention to detail, and making such a beautiful day and night for us on the most important day of our lives!

It was evident that Kendyll has poured her heart and soul into the wedding industry and truly believes in her work. The Bali Hai communicated all details, addressed everything as promised and on time, and was also friendly, positive, and made a beautiful assembly for our wedding! All of our guests complimented how beautiful the scenery was, how delicious the food was, and how helpful and friendly the staff was! Both my husband and I highly recommend the Bali Hai for your wedding venue! All of our guests constantly communicated how perfect and beautiful our wedding was (and we had a large wedding party with a lot of special requests). The sunset on the harbor added a special touch with photos as well! Many thanks to Kendyll, Jenny, and the staff at the Bali Hai for all of their help, assistance, compassion, high attention to detail, and making such a beautiful day and night for us on the most important day of our lives!

My husband and I got married at Bali Hai in November 2017 and it was absolutely perfect! You truly canāt beat the views, and we got so many compliments on the food. We opted for a brunch daytime wedding, so the food was an eclectic mix of typical breakfast food and the more typical island/Polynesian food served at Bali Hai. I should also mention that we were trying to keep costs down while still having a fun, beautiful, enjoyable atmosphere for our guests, and the Bali Hai delivered 110%.Jenny and Kendyll were wonderful to work with and so helpful in answering all of our many questions. They were also very flexible with us in terms of setting up the rehearsal and accessing the space a bit early for set up. Itās an absolutely beautiful space, and if youāre considering it as a wedding venue I would highly recommend it.

Me and my wife Jessica held our wedding reception at Bali Hai August of 2017. As a long standing customer and having attended a reception in the past it was not hard to choose Bali Hai. The staff was highly accommodating and friendly and the food was delicious and something everyone loved and couldn't stop raving about. The entire ceremony was everything we had dreamed and concluded the best day of my life marrying my wife Jessica. We couldn't be more thankful for the entire Bali Hai staff and all they did for our dream wedding. The people, food, venue, location, and views make it a place you can book for any event with confidence as there will be no disappointment only smiles and good times. Thank you! - McCall Wollman

My husband and I have always loved the Bali Hai. The food is always delicious and the Mai Taiās are always on point. So, when we started looking at wedding venues, the Bali Hai was on our list. Now, we got married on 12/31/2017. The Bali Hai is more of a spring and summer venue but hey, we decided to check it out because the one thing my husband asked is that we be able to see water when we got married. Since I had the say in almost every other decision for the wedding, I could at least give him that. So we ended up meeting with Kendyll and she went over the wedding packages with us. Kendyll was super friendly and answered all of our questions. We went back a week later and gave our first deposit. In the months leading up to the wedding, Kendyll and Jenny were AMAZING! They were quick to respond to any emails I sent and flexible on dates we had to meet with them. One of my concerns for the night of the wedding was the weather and the possibility of rain. Jenny worked with us and said we could have our ceremony in the Hawaiian Village room since it was not booked and it is covered just in case it did rain. Thankfully it did not rain, and it was a beautiful clear night. They also arranged to have heaters placed so my guests were perfectly comfortable during the ceremony and they had an awesome view of the San Diego skyline. We had the reception immediately following the ceremony in the South Pacific Room. We chose the Kauai Buffet Package because it included everything we wanted. We had tray passed appetizers, a buffet style dinner, and a hosted bar. Everyone said the food was incredible! The staff did a great job helping with the set up and something really sweet was one of the servers pulled me and my husband aside and fixed a plate for us to make sure we ate. Since we had a NYE wedding, we definitely wanted to have the countdown during the party. So our wedding started later than most of the weddings they do. They worked with us and let the wedding go till 2am! I absolutely loved my wedding at the Bali Hai and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

We were so grateful to have our wedding at Bali Hai! We really wanted to capture a tropical/Polynesian wedding vibe. My family is from Hawaii and I really wanted to create a tropical oasis here in San Diego. We looked at many venues and I was getting discouraged. Iāve been to Bali Hai many time before for Sunday Brunch and it never crossed my mind that Bali Hai did weddings. We got married at Bali Hai on Friday, September 8, 2017. We had the post spectacular sunset full of vibrant red, pink, and purple colors. Our DJ played Hawaiian Island and reggae music. And the swaying of the palm trees in the wind really enhanced our Island wedding vibe. It was magical! Our wedding ceremony was outside near the water. The ceremony area is surrounded my so much lush greenery. So many different types of palm trees, birds of paradise, and flowers. You can see the beautiful San Diego city skyline in the background. It looks so peaceful and romantic. We chose to have our receptions in the South Pacific Room. This space is awesome! Its is circular room with floor to ceiling windows, great views of the water/city sky line. This room has these wood posts that really capture a tiki-Polynesian feel, and also has its own restrooms so your guests do not have to go upstairs to the actual restaurant to use the restroom. This space also has a great sized bar and included two bar tenders (that all my guests kept busy) lol! I wanted to bring the outdoors in and we lined the tables with palm and monstera leaves, and orchids from Hawaii. It really enhanced the tropical vibe I was going for. It was simple and simply beautiful. We had about 140 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit, eat, and dance. Our guests really enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor space. So many of our guest said the space with picturesque and very romantic. We did luau buffet style for food. We wanted our guests to be able to pick whatever they wanted to eat and feel free to help themselves. Our buffet consisted of tray passed appetizers: coconut shrimp, peanut crusted chicken satays, and vegetable spring rolls. Our entree items were roasted tri tip, honey walnut shrimp, spicy miso glazed salmon, steamed rice, bacon-cheddar mashed potatoes, island style macaroni salad, island style potato salad, kale salad, bead and butter. The food was absolutely delicious, tasty, and our guests were so satisfied. The staff at Bali Hai are incredible! We had such an amazing experience! From our first visit meeting with Jenny and Kyndall to tour the venue to the day of our wedding with the set up and tear down and all the caters serving our guests. They were so kind and professional. I couldn't think of a more accommodating staff. They really handled all the little things so that we could enjoy this celebration with all our family and friends. Looking back, I couldn't be more thankful for how our wedding turned out and everyone at Bali Hai who helped make our special day one that weāll remember for a lifetime. I highly recommend Bali Hai for weddings, brunch, dinner, or any life celebrations! This place has it down! Thank you to everyone, especially those in the background who made our wedding day so special. Weāll definitely continue be regulars at Bali Haiā¦ this special place will forever remind us of our special day! Iāll share some pictures too :)

My husband and I got married at the Bali Hai back in September 2017 and it was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend the Bali Hai as a wedding venue for anyone. I did a lot of online research prior and we narrowed it down to 4 venues to see in person and as soon as we met Kendall and saw the space we knew the Bali Hai was the perfect spot for us!We had our ceremony on the patio area which was perfect! I loved that they provided almost everything you needed including, arch choice, runner, chairs, etc. We then had our reception immediately following at in the Hawaiian Village. It was perfect for us as we were looking for an out door venue that was water front, but early September can be really hit or miss with how hot it was so we loved that it was covered with fans for our guests. We chose the Kauai Luau Buffet Package as it was the most reasonably priced and it included everything we were looking for. The tray passed apps were amazing, we picked the coconut shrimp, spring rolls and bacon wrapped scallops. People raved about them! We also loved that the buffet included multiple salads, main dishes and a carving station. We had several people say it was the best wedding food they had ever had. It was fun food and delicious! We also hosted an open bar, and this is one thing that really sets the Bali Hai apart from other venues, they really let you customize it and work with you. We did 5 hours open bar but because wine was served at dinner closed the bar for an hour at dinner which helped save us a lot of money! They also include one hour in the package price so really we just paid for 4 additional hours per person, it was one of the most affordable open bars we found. We chose the well menu but my husband loves Makers Mark which they consider premium so I asked how much it would be to include that and they did it at no extra charge!Kendall and Jenny were so easy to work with, they responded to my every question and truly went above and beyond. They also coordinated docking a boat with the harbor police and reserved that portion of the dock for us even over night! They even helped us save a ton of money in draping/lighting by helping us coordinate with the brides the day before and after us so we could share the cost.The tasting was perfect, they accommodated us on a different day that they usually don't do tastings so that my parents could join from out of town and they even allowed our wedding coordinator to taste at no additional charge and despite not having apps on the tasting menu, Jenny heard that my husbands favorite thing was coconut shrimp so she had a small tray brought out just for him. It was such a fun afternoon, they make wedding planning fun and stress free!The day of everything went off perfectly, from the ceremony to the reception it was simply the best day ever! If you are looking for a fun, beautiful venue with great food and a view at a reasonable price especially for San Diego and lots of free parking (also rare in SD) then the Bali Hai is for you! So many people told us it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever been to it would not have been possible without the amazing Bali Hai team. We also love that it's a restaurant that we can go back to and relive that amazing day!

They were great to work with, quick to respond to all of my requests, and helped me have the wedding I dreamed of without breaking the bank. On the day of the wedding, the banquet staff made sure everything went according to plan. The food was delicious! My husband really wanted a roast pig and the Bali Hai made it happen!

They had such a wide variety to choose that it was hard to narrow down our chooses. They were very accommodating for our vegetarian guests that they even set aside veggie dishes for them. The overall experience was wonderful and the servers made sure that my groom and I were fed and hydrated. Two comments about the location is that it gets warm quickly if you have alot people dancing and that there were alot of party crashers that I personally had to kick out.

I had my wedding outside by the water on June 22, 2014 and the ceremony space was set up exactly as I asked it to be. It was followed by cocktail hour with the most amazing champagne punch and lots of appetizers and yummy sushi. Once my photos were done I joined my guests inside the room for our reception. The food was hot and delicious and everyone especially loved the tri tip.The staff were all very friendly and made sure everyone was happy and things ran on schedule. The events coordinator Lauren was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and she made everything so simple and answered all my questions so quickly. She was a joy to work with!

The Bali Hai was our first venue visit and ended up being the one we chose! It was absolutely perfect with their outdoor pavilion and outdoor ceremony space. We loved working with Lauren who was always quick to answer any questions we had. She met with us numerous times and was very helpful and accommodating being that we were from 4 hours north of the location. The food was very good and we had a lot of guests say so. It's definitely worth the money, however, we were not happy about them cleaning up tables and chairs and closing the bar at 9:30 when we had the venue until 10. Our guests felt rushed and we had a few that said they were asked to get up so they could put the tables and chairs away. Other than that it was a great venue! \r\rDavid & Sari Eriksen

We had our ceremony and reception at this location. The ceremony site overlooks San Diego Bay with a great view of down town. The site can also accommodate up to 200 guests! They provide you with an event manager for the ceremony that assists in making sure everything is done in a timely fashion, so no need for a day of coordinator. We had the reception inside in the South Pacific room which was beautiful! The floor to ceiling windows really helped to give you the feeling that you were outdoors and also had a excellent view of the bay and down town. The food was amazing! I got a ton of compliments from guests! The one thing I didn't like (which caused me to give a 4 star rather than 5 star rating) is that they do not give you additional time if you have the ceremony on site. Whether or not you have the ceremony, they only provide you with a 6 hour time frame. So our event ran from 6pm to midnight, which if you plan on having a long ceremony (ours was really short, 20 minutes tops) I would suggest having the ceremony elsewhere. But other than that, it was an amazing spot for our wedding and it really did make the day perfect!

The Bali Hai has a gorgeous location and beautiful natural decor, so it was a wonderful place for our wedding! I really appreciated that we didn't need to decorate much, and that we could just use the natural beauty of the location. The ceremony location is beautiful as well! Our guests loved the sushi and appetizers during cocktail hour, and raved about the champagne punch! We wish we'd ordered more! Lauren was a wonderful contact, answering my questions sometimes daily, and always working to make things easier. Whenever a small problem arose the evening of the wedding, Lauren was there to make sure it got taken care of, and was fabulous at keeping us happy! My only complaints are a) that it was HOT in the South Pacific room because we were dancing up a storm and they couldn't get the AC down any lower and b) that they put the photobooth in a dark corner where no one saw it or wanted to go because it was out of the way. Otherwise the food and location were phenomenal and planning the wedding with them was easy and fun! I highly recommend the Bali Hai for a beautiful and easy wedding!

I got married at Bali Hai on June 9th, 2012, and I couldn't be happier with my venue choice. The ceremony was gorgeous overlooking the water. It looks like a small space, but we had plenty of room and my guests were easily accommodated. We chose the outdoor pavilion for the reception, and it was PERFECT. So many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. With such a gorgeous venue, you don't need to splurge on the lighting, and my simple DIY decor was just what it needed for a special, personal touch. The staff was amazing and made sure everyone was happy. Prior to the wedding, I was worried that we would be bothered by the restaurant guests, or even the guests from the other wedding in the indoor reception location, but everyone kept to themselves and we had more than enough space for my guests to mingle. The fire pits are a great addition, as well as the nearby dock that people wandered over to. I wish I could relive that day. What's nice about the venue being a restaurant, is that we can go there to celebrate our anniversary every year!

This place is outstanding! I could not say enough about Larry and his staff of amazing young, organized, and focused staff. From the moment we stepped on to the property it was exactly what my husband and I had imagined when we started our wedding planning. Something easy, that flowed from event to event, and with a view that would knock your socks off! For a smaller venue the space is well used. The ceremony was intimate, I used no flowers because the evironment was pretty enough. I used very little decorations in the reception because the South Pacific room was gorgeous already. Everyone knew exactly what was supposed to happen the day of the wedding and I never doubted for a minute that things would go off without a hitch. The banquets and event staff are willing to work with each couple on cost and special items that you would want to incorporate in your wedding. Larry could have been invited because he became family after several very short meetings. Our guests have not stopped The only venue where a buffet style is cost effective. I could go on and on but I would be writing a book. Bottom line: DON'T HAVE YOUR WEDDING ANYWHERE ELSE!

With a beautiful room, amazing views, and great food, our guests raved. Jenny, the coordinator there, was prompt in responding to all my emails and questions as well. Our only complaint was that you have to pay per drink if you have an open bar and the tab at the end of the night got a little confusing as they turned the bar into a cash bar when they weren't supposed to etc. Otherwise I would highly recommend

I looked at so many venues and the Bali Hai just gave me a good feeling from the moment I saw it. Jenny was great to work with -- very responsive and friendly. The food was amazing. So many guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding. My recommendation would be to definitely get the extra lighting that the DJ tries to sell you. We didn't think we needed it but we never saw the venue at night before the wedding and the room is pretty dark, especially the dance floor so the extra lighting would have been SO worth it. My only compaint is that there was another wedding at the same time as ours on the patio so we couldn't take pictures like we had planned because there was another wedding going on! It screwed up our whole picture-taking schedule and it would have not been that big of a deal if Jenny would have told us the situation and what to expect. The other bride was definitely pissed that I was there taking away her thunder but I didn't care. I wasn't going to let it ruin my day. Some more communication on Jenny's part would have helped a lot. It was great to have guests stay at Humphreys which is walking distance to the venue and was really nice. I give Bali Hai minus one star for service for the way the 2 weddings were handled but otherwise it was great! Oh and Larry the owner is awesome!

I had never been to the Bali Hai when I looked into using them for our ceremony and reception. I am so glad I decided to go with them! I read multiple wonderful reviews, actually couldnāt find a bad one out there! They have recently remodeled so it is beautiful, and clearly they know how to cook since itās a restaurant! \r\rFood/Drinks: The food was wonderful, the drinks were great and reasonably priced! The mai taiās were a hit and allowed me to not feel bad not paying for hard liquor (I had an open bar for beer, wine and Mai taiās). I never saw a crazy line at the bar, and the bar itself was very pretty! Food was just as good as when we had our tasting. Itās always a little nerve wracking knowing they are cooking in bulk, but as a restaurant they are well aware of how to cook everything well! I think that was one of the best parts about using a restaurant, our food tasted nothing like wedding food! I wish we would have thought to get doggie bags for the hotel room!\r\rStaff: Absolutely wonderful! Jenny and Mimi took care of all my questions so quickly. I asked so many questions, and never heard one bit of frustration from them!! I got responses on weekends, and they were so easy to work with. Jenny actually ended up saving me a lot of money. When she found out what I was going to order, she switched my plan and it saved me probably $20 per person!! Larry was so friendly and made sure everything was just perfect the day of! \r\rTheir waitstaff was very attentive. They made sure my husband and I got through the buffet first and made sure we always had drinks that we wanted. We had tray passed and buffet appetizers and I think the waitstaff did a wonderful job at making sure they got around to everyone with the tray passed. They were all very friendly too! They helped us call cabs and didnāt mind us hanging out while they cleaned up!\r\rLocation: How can you beat a San Diego waterfront restaurant?? The outdoor ceremony area is stunning, views of the water and surrounded by green. And, if it rains, they have a covered area outdoors to move you to. Also, there is plenty of parking and most of my guests stayed at Humphreys so they could literally stumble back to their room after the reception! No driving needed!\r\rCost: It was by far one of the cheapest places I could find. They provide napkins, table clothes, gorgeous chairs, private restrooms, a brideās room, ceremony site, ceremony chairs, altar arches, all the food and drinks and all the staff. And, for all this, you get it at a steal. It is an amazing bang for your buck, and I did a TON of research!! Also, at a bridal show I was able to snag my ceremony site for free!\r\rThe only issue I had with them was there standard one hour set up time. More than an hour is charged and not available if there is an event before you. I think that caused some unnecessary stress for my vendors. So, it is just something to keep in mind. All the more reason to hire a coordinator!\r\r

The room size was perfect for the amount of people we had (22), and worked well with all the toasts that people wanted to give. The ambiance of this restaurant is incredible! I thought the food was good, but nothing to brag about. The service was also very good.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in San Diego. The location is gorgeous and the food is delicious. They gave us our own room which was perfect for our wedding party of roughly 30 people. There's only one window in this room but there's a tv in the room where we had a DVD of pictures of us playing. They had a bowl of mai tai's and the appetizers and meal were wonderful. They were very attentive to anything we needed.

The Bali Hai is a great location especially if you have a lot of travelers. The backing onto the ocean is beautiful. The staff is extremely professional and clearly experienced in executing weddings (they often do 4 a day during the busy time). The food is decent.

Fantastic Food... Check!Great Service... Check!\rHelpful Banquest Coordinator... Check!\rBanquet minimum wasn't ridiculous and that was awesome! Jenny, the banquets coordinator answered all of my questions and was very responsive to all of my calls and emails. There were some limitations to colored linens that were available from the venue itself, but well worth the trade off for the view and atmosphere that they provided. \rMy guests really enjoyed the food and had a great time. Private bathrooms for the indoor/outside patio South Pacific Room. Additional uplighting from your DJ unnecessary in this room. \rI had 125 guests for the South Pacific Room and it was a little bit crowded. Probably fits very comfortably at max 100.

My husband and I recently were married at the Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island in San Diego, CA. We could not have been happier with our choice. Everything was phenomenal for our special day. The restaurant was recently remodeled, as was the ceremony site. We originally booked this place because we fell in love with the ceremony site. The newly remodeled ceremony site has an even better view of the San Diego skyline, and all of our guests raved about the gorgeous view. We had our reception in the new Hawaiian Village. The village is like a blank canvas for one to decorate as they please. We kept decorations minimal, as we knew our guests would be basking at the sensational view and enjoying the closeness of the water. Besides the incredible view, the food was fantastic as well. Our guests feasted on teriyaki chicken, macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, and carved tri-tip in a shitaake mushroom sauce, and drank signature mai tai's as well as champagne punch and a non-alcoholic fruit punh. Larry, the owner, and Jenny, the banquet manager, were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend the Bali Hai as a place to hold a wedding. For a San Diegan, the Bali Hai is as close to a Hawaiian destination wedding as you can get without flying to Hawaii.

Everybody that attended my wedding had nothing but great comments afterwards. From the view to the food it was all amazing. My husband and I had our reception at sunset in the Hawaiian Village which is a tent right on the water. There is also a pier that your guest can walk down to. It is a public area but there were not too many people where your party would be disturbed. At first we were hesitant about the food. We served the Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi Roast Loin of Pork and the Hawaiian baked ham. All three were delicious as so were the side dishes. I think the guest enjoyed having something different at a wedding for a change. Larry the owner is very accommodating and wants your day to be perfect. He was truly a pleasure to work with.;There were a couple things that you need to consider when getting married in the Hawaiian Village. It is a tent on the water. It is plain and simple. The Bali Hai provides basic lighting and white linens that look very basic and drab. My husband and I did not think about decorating the tent when we booked our event. We added lighting and swaging to the ceiling and brought in our own satin linens. I would highly recommend that any one getting married here to do so. It makes a huge difference in the overall appearance of your wedding. We did a Polynesian theme to go along with the Bali Hai. We did not want Hawaiian leis or shirts so we opted for Exotic flowers to coincide with the theme of the restaurant. Birds of paradise red ginger and helliconaus are some examples that can be use. Also the bathroom is outdated. I added some candles and amenity baskets to take make up for it. The Bali Hai is a wonderful place to have a wedding. My only advice is to invest in the tent. Taste the Mai Tai before you add it as a punch bowl. It is a hate it or love it' drink so beware. Also tax is added to gratuity so make sure you put it into your budget. California Law.

Everyone RAVED about the location of our venue, it was great. And it was really convinient for everyone to have it all in one location and there was tons of parking available. Their Mai Tai's were great too. Leslie and Larry do hundreds of weddings there a year so they really know their stuff. We basically took all their suggestions and they were right about everything. Very trustworthy, and no hidden fees, everything is listed up front and very simple.;They normally place the napkins sticking out in the cups which can take away from your centerpieces, so we requested a flat fold.

The place is perfect. Beautiful location. Perfect amount of room for all guests. Great for the people who wanted to dance, and great for those who just wanted to go hang out by the waters edge or in the garden. Great food, the planner/ assistant provided with the rental of the space was very helpful and excellent. Pricing was great and the option for featured drinks in punch bowls where guests served themselves was wonderful. This is a great place for any tropical themed, hawaiian style reception and ceremony in one. The ceremony took place by the water in their garden. Beautiful, i wouldnt change a thing.;i have nothing bad to say about this place. loved it!
