About This Vendor
Say 'I Do' Alongside The Pacific Ocean
Marina Village is a beautiful wedding venue located in sunny San Diego, CA. For couples dreaming of a seaside wedding, this charming waterfront venue is ideally situated in one of San Diego's most desirable locations. Couples can profess their undying love in the warm embrace of Mission Bay’s colorful sunsets, setting the tone for an unforgettable celebration of unity. Decade upon decade, the venue, only a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean, has served to accommodate guests from across the globe. As its name suggests, the venue operates as a marina for those sea-loving folk to house their boats. Locals spend sunny afternoons lingering on the lush-carpeted gardens, watching yachts come and go like the tides. The venue celebrates the joys of life and the coming together of souls. The venue is sprinkled with beautiful trees that offer some shaded respite from the Southern-Californian sun while the marina is littered with sea-faring vessels. Pergolas covered in bougainvillea plants line the pathways, creating scenes of a floral dream. The al fresco setting gives you room to breathe and drink in those important moments you don’t ever want to forget on your big day. Wood-framed buildings protrude over edges of the marina and the Tuscan-inspired architecture sets the scene for a magical event. The north and south lawn are picturesque outdoor event spaces that can facilitate your wedding day ceremony for which they provide chairs and an altar. Weddings of all kinds are welcomed and celebrated here. With several flexible banquet hall locations, each distinguished in its own way, from vaulted ceilings to crystal chandeliers, couples can get creative with their layouts. The venue is available to host non-religious, religious, and interfaith ceremonies. Dressing rooms will be assigned to wedding parties so that couples and their entourages can prepare for the festivities in comfort. Their excellent and professional service staff aims to make your special occasion a memory never to forget. With rental and equipment services, couples have all of the tools to create a wedding space they have always dreamed of.

This was such a great venue for any wedding. There are so many options for all size weddings and someone on the grounds to decorate if needed. We were given a great vendor list and the staff was very great with communication. We were able to have our ceremony and reception at the same location and that was perfect. I definitely recommend Marina Village for any kind of event.

Loved having my wedding here! It is such a beautiful venue and the prices are not bad! I had my ceremony on the South Lawn. Loved the back drop and all the room on the grass. My reception was in the Bayview Room. Loved that as well. Very rustic and so much room. The view of the boats are amazing. But just know the lights inside the room are not always there. If you want them you need to ask in advance from the vendor who does it!! I almost didn't have them because no one from Marina Village told me in advance!

If your looking for an affordable catering company and wedding venue in the San Diego area, I would highly recommend working with Kim DeHaven at Ranch Events. My wife and I were recently married on the patio of the Seaside Room (~150 guests) at Marina Village on Saturday, August 25, 2018 and our ceremony was in the adjoining space. Ranch Events exclusively caters the Seaside Room and to be honest, the Marina Village is dated and is in desperate need of renovation. HOWEVER, the staff at Ranch Events, especially Kim were able to execute my vision perfectly. Given that this was a \"destination wedding\" for ~70% of the guests in attendance, I hosted a number of different activities for my guest to enjoy which include a wine tasting (wine barrels provided by Ranch Events), cigar bar/dessert table (@brilliantreatsemc), Paint n' Sip (@PainNoir), an inflatable Photobooth (@cakephotobooth) and of course open bar. The space was conducive for all of these activities without everyone feeling clustered together. Cons:Seaside room is dated You have to bring your own mixers (cranberry juice, tonic water, soda, etc.) Pros: AFFORDABLE - was able to have a wedding on a Saturday for the same cost as having it on a Friday or Sunday Complementary Wedding Date hold until someone else inquires about your date. If that occurs, then Ranch Events requests a deposit to secure the date. You can bring your own alcohol (all you pay is ~$350 surcharge which includes liability insurance, glassware, etc) Lots of free parking and guests can leave their cars overnight if they get too drunkCatering menu is extensive, affordable ($~26/plate), and very tasty!!!!!In house bakery and floral department that works with all types of budgetsA plethora of decor to choose from including a gigantic flower wall and farm tables!!!!!

The service up to the event was on point. On my wedding day some one launched fireworks near our room (the Sunset room). This resulted in my room being filled with smoke and ending the reception early. All of my guest ran out of the room because of the smoke. Each room was suppose to have a guard to stop this and it states no fireworks on the contract. After the smoke cleared and my reception ended early I had a security guard accuse me and my bride of launching fireworks off. Now it is a week later and I have called four times 2 times I left voicemails and the other two i spoke with April (Tues) and then Trish (Thur), Each claiming they will get back to me after my reception was ruined. They have no problem demanding money but they lied several times. On top of that they haven't even attempted speak with me or my bride about the incident after we spent over $20,000 on our day

The venue itself is nice and the prices are very affordable. However there was little to no help on site during the event. I rented the sunset room and went without power to my dj booth for 2 plus hours. This means that we had no music or sound for my guests when they arrived and it totally killed the mood. By the time we came in from taking photos the guests had been bored so long they were tired and ended up making it an early night. We were so disappointed. When maintenance did arrive their solution was to run a cord through the middle of everything and have my dj share the same outlets as my caterer. After the event I called to complain and ask for a courtesy credit. I felt I paid full price for a room that did not work correctly. They told me it was not there fault and that they were unwilling to make any attempt to rectify the situation. They said just decorator blew the power with led lights and I should talk to them if I have a problem. However the testimony from both my caterer and my dj was that the room should have been about to handle it since it is made for special events and my decorator didn't set up anything crazy. Additionally even if they did blow the power maintenance should have been more helpful and come up with a better solution to the issue. I could not have been more disappointed and felt completely ripped off.

We had our wedding reception in the Seaside Room at Marina Village. Our experience with Ranch Events and Rhonda was nothing short from amazing. She was extremely easy to work with, full of great innovative ideas, and very professional. She worked within our budget and made great suggestions to keep costs within our price range. We even got two food tastings, because at our first food tasting we were so stuffed after sampling all of the apps & entrees that we couldn’t decide on the cake flavor. So we scheduled a second cake tasting and Rhonda provided us with an unexpected entrée tasting as well. The food was even better at the reception than at the first and second tastings. At the tastings I wasn’t impressed with the asparagus, but at the reception they were steamed perfectly. Honestly, my guests raved about the food and cake. They are still talking about it! Rhonda suggested a creative, unique & cost effective touch to our table centerpieces, they were cake centerpieces and they turned out equally beautiful as delicious. She was able to find a specific type of rose to top the cake centerpieces in order to match the bouquets. Also there were a couple extra bonuses: RE served chocolate & strawberries with our cheese station, gummy bears & several candy toppings at the ice cream sundae bar and RE even supplied large decorative, blue light-up globes throughout the reception venue. The Seaside Room has comfortable & charming vibe and truly everything surpassed my expectations. Thank you everyone at RE, Rhonda, kitchen staff, wait staff, bartenders, decorating team and set-up/clean-up crew! The service was outstanding and the venue was decorated perfect! (If you have a special request, then just ask you’ll be surprised how accommodating RE/Rhonda can be.) Thank you for creating our best day ever!!!

We had our ceremony on the South Lawn at Marina Village. Marina Village is a beautiful location, and has the perfect backdrop for a wedding! We also had our reception at Marina Village, which was in the Seaside Room. It is worth noting however that the Seaside room is leased and run by Ranch Events. If you book this room you will have to use Ranch Events for catering. For us this was perfect because we wanted to use them initially anyway. The grounds at Marina Village are beautiful. The only drawback to this location is that it is very popular for weddings, for good reason too! There were 2-3 additional weddings there the same day as ours. The prices are pretty reasonable. If you want to make a change to your room type or date however they are somewhat inflexible.

I chose the Marina Village for their atmosphere and also because they allow you to have whatever vendor you choose. What I didn't like is that they didn't advise me that the vendors needed proof of liability insurance until I paid them. It was no where in the contract and they are aware that it isn't. This was upsetting because a lot of brides either don't know or are not thinking of this and to tell me after I've paid without giving me a chance to ask my vendors if they have it was a big let down and lack of customer service. On top of that, many of the vendors I used worked there before and were never asked for it and when I asked them about it, they had no real answer. Outside of that, the place was beautiful enough to forget that hick-up.

The wedding was a success, thanks to our family and friends who helped. The location is beautiful, but the staff here at Marina Village weren't so successful. They were very disorganized. I had talked with a consultant there many times via email and phone about the details. I had ordered enough white table cloths for a cake table, gift table, buffet table, and all the other tables that are there to be used in a ceremony & reception. I only got 11 table cloths which was not enough for all my tables. I ordered the white wooden chairs for the reception and ceremony and I ended up with chairs that have cloth on them and was told we were going to be charged for the upgrade even though I specifically told them I wanted the white wooden chairs and more than 11 white table cloths. Then, a few months before the wedding, I wanted the Marine Room instead of the Dockside Room. I was told it was available for upgrade that day and would be $100.00 extra, which I was fine with. My mom went by the office to put the deposit down for the Marine Room and found out we couldn't have that room on that day because it was already reserved. The consultant I was working with the whole time \"forgot\" to book that other couple's wedding for that room for that day.

Being on an extreme budget and paying for everything ourselves, we wanted a place that allowed us the flexibility to have our own caterer, bartender and decorate how we wanted without having a wedding coordinator. They was very reasonable priced for the location and our wedding turned out awesome! We could not have asked for a more perfect day.

The Bayview Room at Marina Village is beautiful. It comes with tables and chairs. You then bring in your own linens, caterer, drinks, etc. It was great being able to have an open bar on a budget because we were able to bring all our own alcohol from Costco!

We rented the Bayview Room at Marina Village for our recent wedding and absolutely loved it! At Marina Village, you rent a room and it comes with tables and chairs. You then bring in your own linens, caterer, drinks, etc. It was so fun putting together my ideal wedding without the constraints of having to use a specific cake vendor, or caterer, or DJ that other venues require of you. As it got closer to the wedding day, Marina Village was very flexible and easy to work with when it came to adding tables and chairs, extending our reception and more. \r\rThe room itself was really cool. The Bayview Room is two stories, which gives you extra room upstairs for lounge chairs, a photo booth, or a kid's area. We have over 130 people and there was a ton of room so we didn't feel stuffed in there, but the layout didn't make it feel like you were completely spread out from people either. \r\rWe also had our ceremony on one of their lawns, which turned out beautifully as well. Marina Village provided us with a nice arch that our florist decorated, as well as a nice and clean aisle runner. \r\rI would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

We had our wedding ceremony here in November. It was raining the day before, but the day of was gorgeous! We had our ceremony on the north lawn which has the marina in the background. The pictures turned our amazing! The individuals in the office are easy to get ahold of and professional. (We had our reception in the Seaside Room at Marina Village, which is owned by Ranch Catering. This part of our wedding was a nightmare. If you are looking to have your wedding at Marina Village, book a room that is owned by them and NOT Ranch Catering).

When looking for a venue I ultimately chose Marina Village for several reasons including price, location, and parking. Marina Village had lower rates than most places and the views were great, very San Diego. I rented the north lawn and the Sunset Room. Both were excellent and having the ceremony and reception at the same site was great. My only small negative is that I wasnt able to have my rehearsal at the venue due to other weddings the day before mine. While I understand they are a business and if someone wants to rent the lawn they are going to rent to them, it was a little hectic and weird to have my rehearsal at a completely separate site. It would have been nice for the venue to have something in place for this type of situation. The office staff were friendly and always answered all of my questions.

The customer service was great. We mainly talked to Victoria, she ended up leaving sometime this year before June. She was very helpful and understanding with all our changes throughout the year before our actual date.\r We had our reception in the Bayview Room and it was amazing. I like the fact that you are able to do everything yourself with this venue. I do recommend that you either start your set up for the room right at 9am, the earliest you can get in your room, or have family help out decorating. That was my only downfall, I was late to my own reception, but thats my fault.\r For the price and location I believe Marina Village is a beautiful place for your ceremony and/or reception

Marina Village is a great place to host a wedding reception. It was very easy to work with the staff at Marina Village. It is a great value and they don't have a pre-set vendor list! My husband and I had attended two wedding receptions here prior to our wedding, we personally would highly recommend the Bayview Room. It has a great view of the Marina, and upstairs balcony, bathrooms inside the room, a bar and a back area for the caterer. While I had wanted the Baja room I am actually really glad we didn't get that room after attending a wedding reception there. It was a really awkward lay out.

This was a perfect venue for us. They offer a great price for a room rental for the reception (many different size rooms to choose from) and two different lawns by the marina for the ceremony. They set up the archway and chairs for the ceremony. The biggest reason we loved Marina Village was because we could bring in all our own resources, catering, bar, etc. Essentially, we were provided with a blank slate to do what ever we wanted. Perfect for a DIY wedding or to create any atmosphere for your perfect day.

The Marina Village is a beautiful little spot in Mission Bay area of San Diego. When you book your ceremony site, and reception hall, you are free to plan and book whoever you want, the way you want, and the best part is... you can shop around for the best deals. I would recommend using their tulle & lights guy, Pedro Hernandez. He does remarkable, beautiful work and does all the set up and clean up for you for a very small fee. We used the South Lawn, and The Marine Room for 120 guests. We paid $1,450.00 for the room and ceremony location, all equiped with tables, chairs and alter - set up to my design by the Marina Village Staff. The staff was nice, and very easy to work with. We were so happy with the way things turned out, and recommend this location for who wants a beautiful, San Diego location, and has a very tight budget. You get a LOT of BANG for your BUCK here! Great place!!

It was miserable. The windows surround the room but are not able to be opened. It took my brother, another friend, the best man and my bartender all going down to the management office to finally get it fixed! They kept sending people up to \"look at it\" but nobody actually did anything until almost an hour later.

We held both our ceremony and our reception at Marina Village. The price is unbeatable but the service wasn't always top notch...depending on who was helping you and the information they provided wasn't consistent. For example, we were told that since we were the last wedding of the day, we didn't need to pick up the flower petals. Then, when it came down to confirming everything 2 weeks before the day, I was told that if we didn't pick them up, we would be charged. When I stated I was told differently, the staff member said \"well, would you like a mess left for your wedding?\" and she suggested that I bring a rake to clean them up or rent their isle runner. Since I don't have a rake (or an extra one for that matter to bring to my wedding), we rented the runner. THEN on the day of the wedding, they never laid out the runner so my parents had to ask someone to quickly do so...and it was DIRTY! Overall, the wedding was beautiful and we had a perfect day...those are just my couple gripes.

Staff called me a week later and apologized but admitted the guard wasn't doing his job. Besides that, I loved this venue :)

Then as the planning process continued, and we visited the site numerous times, we fell in love with the trees and planned our wedding around them. \r\rThe staff is VERY accommodating and super friendly. They answered all my last minute questions very timely. \r\rIt was a perfect location to hold our wedding. We also had our reception in the Captain's room, which was huge. \rWe used Pedro (whom also works at MV) for our decor and it was brilliant! \r\rThank you MV for helping our wedding be such a success!

The room we rented for our reception (Bayview) was perfect! We also rented a room across from the hall for a bridal changing and storage room. The people in the office were great, super friendly, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated how they called us before we had a payment due just to remind us, I was so busy it's very likely I would have forgotten. Price was wonderful; under $1500 for 5 hours of reception and access to the room starting at 9am. Overall a FANTASTIC experience.

We were looking for a room to rent where we were free to use the vendors we wanted and supply our own liquor. We ended up using the Baja room at Marina Village. Large room and for a decent price. CONS: no kitchen area or wash area for food/dishes.

We had our wedding reception in Marina Village's Seaside Room, which is actually owned by Ranch Events. While the Seaside Room does lock you into using Ranch as your caterer, their food is so good that it's actually a plus! The view is amazing, and the room can hold up to 600 people. The large windows offer gorgeous light during the day and give the room a sort of golden glow at sunset. There is ample parking, and it is very easy for guests to find. I would highly recommend the Seaside Room as a reception location.

Marina Village was a GREAT option for our wedding! They worked with us on our budget and gave us a significant discount for having our wedding ceremony and reception at their location. It was a CLASSY option for a VERY small budget. We were amazed with the quality! \r\rWe chose the Baja Room because we loved the Spanish architecture and the multiple rooms (buffet room, patio, entrance room, large dance floor, bathrooms, etc). The only downside to our room was that there was no built-in speaker system, so we were forced to hire a DJ with his own equipment, but that was fine. The only other thing that we weren't happy about was for our rehearsal ceremony that we scheduled--they did not set up in time for us to have a run through--so I went to the office and they called and fixed it right away, but they were still about an hour late. Other than those couple things, it was a PERFECT location...it was the perfect spot for our wedding and we loved it. We worked mostly with April and Jenny as our consultants. They answered all my questions, helped me make decisions (on things such as floor plan and room choice), and they were GREAT about always getting back to me in a timely manner and keeping me up to date with payment reminders etc.\r\rOverall we were VERY happy with Marina Village as our wedding venue. :)\r\rP.S. the sunsets are AMAZING from Marina Village (especially because the bayside wall is practically ALL window).

They do have various amenities and equipment (PA system, etc.) for your usage as well. If you are interested in tulle and twinkle light decorations, ask to be put in touch with Pedro. He works at Marina Village, so he knows what kind of decor works in each room, and his rates are very reasonable (and better than anything I could have done myself!)

My groom and I scoured San Diego for an outdoor venue with trees and grass, which is unusually difficult commodity to find here without paying a ridiculous amount of money.\r\rHowever, we found *exactly* what we were looking for in Marina Village. Marina Village was the first venue my groom and I both completely agreed on. It was inexpensive, and the price included chair and arbor set up and take down. I was a little concerned when they said there were no foul weather accommodations, but when I woke up to rain on my wedding day, they called to ask if I'd like to use one of their empty rooms for the ceremony. I declined, and thankfully the rain stopped, but they very considerately made sure all the chairs were wiped down and dry for my guests.\r\rThe only reason I didn't give them five stars is it was really difficult to get them to return my messages. If I managed to reach them in the office, it was no problem to answer my questions, but if I somehow missed them, they never returned my calls.\r\rStill, overall a completely positive experience; I would definitely recommend it to any and all brides looking for a nice, inexpensive venue.

The downsides: We were told that someone would be at the desk until Midnight, but at 10 pm, there was no one there! The bathrooms that were closest to our room were closed, and the guests had to walk quite a distance to the bathrooms. Lastly, 1 security guard told us that it would be okay if we went over our 5 hour time limit, since everyone was behaving themselves, but another security guard came in and made us leave, saying he would charge us for the extra time! All in all, it was well worth it for the price!

They are very easy to work with and allow you to bring in any vendors you want, including buying your own booze. This probably saved us a couple thousand dollars.

Also, the on site decorator of the rooms is Pedro Hernadez and booking him is a must. He can trnsform the rooms into an amazing elegant setup. Wouldn't have been the same without him.

I used Marina village for my July 2010 wedding. We ended up renting the Sunset room (best room in my opinion). It's on the second floor and has amazing bay windows overlooking the harbor. This place was great because they allow you to bring in your own music, decorations (including staples), catering, just about anything to make your event unique. All in all, we payed $1,200 for the day, plus a $400 cleaning deposit, which we got back a week after the wedding. The only downsides that I can think of for this particular room is the carpeting (pretty old and ugly) and the fact that it does not have an elevator even though it's on the second floor. Keep that in mind if you have anyone who uses a wheelchair or has difficulty with steps. I loved this place and would definitely use it again.

I loved that it was a clean slate. I made all the choices by myself it was basically an empty room. They had a guy Pedro that did decorating on the side for $250 and he did a beautiful job. Open space and great dance floor.;It is by the Marina so it has a nautical theme that no bride would want so the decorator had to cover all that and the venue hasn't been updated in a long time. Carpet on the stairs worn and covered with tape bathrooms kind of yucky.

Everything was set up by 9 am like they said it would be even though I knew one of their maintenance guys didn't show up for work on the day of our wedding. They didn't need to worry me by telling me that, but everything was perfect anyway.;Our specific room had no prep area, which we knew in advance, however with the weather being really hot, my cake was a concern. It ended up being a mild day with no problems, but be sure your cake is delivered at the last minute during the hot summer months in any of the rooms with no prep area!

This was a beautiful waterfront location overlooking the boats in the Marina. It was very reasonably priced for a waterfront venue and for most rooms you may choose you own caterer and do your own bar.;I would reccomend hiring the lighting guy to decorate (another $300-$400). That made the ambiance once the sun went down.

It's right on the water. The view and sunset is gorgous! Plus it's very affordable, and you can bring in your own caterer and alchol.;It is a bit older - not new/modern.

I loved that there was ample FREE parking for all our guests. The site is full of vine/flower covered walkways and it's right on the marina. Also all we had to rent from Marina Village was the room. They give you a list of preferred vendors however you are not obligated nor charged extra for going with a different vendor. They don't care if you bring in your own caterer dj florist etc. which was a great way for us to save money.;Becareful which room you choose for your reception. Not all the rooms are as updated or 'pretty' as you may think they would be. It definitely pays to spend a little more for a nicer room with a view as opposed to a less expensive room without a view.

Proximity to the water, as well as within 20 minutes of ceremony site.;Parking is ample, but be prepared for several other receptions to be taking place at the same time as your own. This did not create any problems, but there were lots of people in the area. Also, rent chairs! The ones that are provided have a definite 'conference' feel.

It was very clean and well kept, the room was large enough to comfortably accomodate all of my guests. There was a security guard that walked the site as well.;The place is open to the public so you might run the risk of people walking around outside your wedding/reception site.

Great location with lots of free parking for guests, lodging nearby, ability to save money by hiring all my own vendors.;It is just a space, it is up to you to fill it. A lot more work to hire all your own vendors and negotiate contracts but it gives you the ability to save money if you are looking to. More work but worth it not to get overcharged.
