Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa

Initially had some imajor ssues with the original event coordinator assigned to my wedding in terms of getting basic details correct (date of an additional event that we requested, menu selections, number of tables, number of guests) as well as poor timeliness of her responses. However, once another coordinator was assigned, the wedding planning process went much more smoothly. In the end, the wedding went very well. The grounds are beautiful and I am glad we chose the Estancia for our wedding.

We loved Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Our wedding was truly magical because of this amazing venue. My husband and I planned a destination wedding to San Diego, CA and choose Estancia on the recommendation of our wedding planner, Melissa Barrad. We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. Our family and friends are still talking about our wedding and Estancia. The grounds were spectacular. We had our ceremony on the Olive Lawn and the reception in the Adobe Restaurant. The staff was professional and so helpful. We had a brunch the day following our wedding on the same lawn.A friend of mine also treated me to a massage at their spa. It was amazing! I highly recommend taking advantage of the spa while you are there. We will return to Estancia in the years to come. It is truly a magical place.

The staff was so wonderful! We felt like a king and queen all weekend. Everyone was very helpful. It really is such a beautiful location too. We got so many compliments from our guests. They absolutely loved the venue. We had our ceremony/cocktails in the courtyard and reception in the smaller ballroom. It couldn't have been more perfect :) I love that they provide the garden suite to get ready in. And all the food was so good! Very gourmet and they accommodated our all vegetarian preference. The only downside is that it is fairly pricey (at least for us using the courtyard for only 100people) but it really is worth every penny.

Working with Erica Davis at Estancia was an absolute joy. She and all the Estancia staff are extremely professional and go out of their way to make sure your needs are met. They worked with us till the end, making it so easy for us to make last minute changes. My wedding at Estancia was an absolute dream and it went so smoothly! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Estancia has THE BEST service! I felt like a total princess the day of my wedding. They pay attention to even the smallest detail.

We loved the venue because it was simply a stunning setting for a wedding, and one of the only places large enough that we looked at. However, during the year of planning, we worked with 3 catering managers and several pieces of critical information kept getting lost along the way. For example, despite several very clear assertions about our preferences for alcohol service (basic liquor, do not refill wine glasses on the table, etc), they ended up serving and charging for top shelf liquor and refilling wine glasses on the table without being asked! We were very disappointed with this. Other than that, it was beautiful and a perfect setting.

Beautiful! Beautiful Property!They have a great spa so you can treat the girls and yourself to manis/pedis the day before and so Bride & Groom can get a massage the morning of the wedding. The food is amazing and so is the attentive staff! I also had out-of-town guests stay here. Best place to stay and have your ceremony and reception. Several outdoor options for your ceremony and/or reception. Meticulous landscaping. Nice small setting, but I believe they can accomodate up to 200-250 for the ceremony & reception. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
