Marina Village

We really want to thank Jennifer, our contact, and the staff of Marina Village. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional and answered all of our questions. Our wedding was amazing. The website does not do marina village justice- The staff is really terrific and we had everything we needed and the setup was perfect! No mistakes or problems! We were delighted! Thanks so much again!

HANDS DOWN THE MOST AFFORDABLE & BEST VENUE IN SAN DIEGO BY THE BAY!! I always knew I wanted a venue by the water, and got many quotes from different hotels and restaurants around by the bay and we couldn't afford them. Then when we saw Marina Village and all its pros and we were sold! You can hire any vendors for anything (not use any particular expensive one) and you can provide your own alcohol (definitely the biggest plus!) and you get your room the whole day! So no matter what time your reception is at, your vendors have from 9:00 a.m. on to set-up, also a big plus! We had the Baja Room, and although it may look plain at first sight, once your linen and flowers and lights are up, the room looked like venue straight out of magazine! And our wedding had a tight budget, so Marina Village was a perfect fit! Highly recommend this venue to anyone (budget or not)!!

Everything looked nice and a great view

My wedding was on a Friday from 12-6pm...I had my ceremony on the SOUTH LAWN & Reception in the DOCKSIDE room. I LOVED this place! Having my wedding on a Friday during the day made the place quiet and it felt like we had the whole property to ourselves really! The Dockside room was excellent we used the patio area for the bar so it didn't take up space inside. We had 60 people and it was a perfect amount if you have guests that like to dance! They do NOT provide a dance floor though...well at least not in my room. They have round tables that come with the space and square linens (white or ivory) that you can rent. They looked great and they were clean! Over all I am happy with this spot. I recommend the SOUTH Lawn for a ceremony because there's less cars passing by.

We had our reception in the captain's room. The price is great for the venue and you can bring in all your own vendors. As long as you have any open bar you can bring all your own alcohol which saves SO much money.

I had a great experience with Marina Village. I thought our venue was absolutely beautiful. Never had any problems getting in to see our room, rehearsal and they always answered questions promptly. The guy even went out with the tape measure to give me all the dims for my arch. Being able to get in there at 9am to decorate our room saved us! We had a lot of decorating to do and we wouldn't have been able to put it off not being able to get in there so early. I thought it was a great value... being able to bring in our own food, alcohol... everything! Really really such an excellent value. Especially compared to other crazy expensive only get to come in 2 hrs before SD venues. We had our reception in the Spinnaker room... we had about 70 people and it worked out great. A lil cozy but hey that's what we were going for! A small intimate wedding. That room is a super value for a smaller wedding being it overlooks the bay. It is a bit dated but since my colors were blue it worked perfect with the blue carpet and blue beams.. you couldnt even tell really... all blended in with my blues. We hung some gorgeous blue material, twinkle lights, flowers, candlelight... it was stunning. I'm soooooooooooo happy with this venue. Still waiting on all of my pics but I'll def post once I get them in so you can see what we did with the room. Please email me with any questions. Happy to help out any future brides :)

We received so many compliments on the venue! We loved Marina Village. We had our ceremony on the South Lawn and the reception in the Bayview room. Everything was perfect and afordable.

Our wedding was in the Captain's Room (280 capacity) and it was by far the best "bang for the buck"! We reserved the room 4 months before our wedding and were very lucky that the date was available! Marina Village is such great value that it usually gets booked up fast, so we were lucky that with 4 months notice there was still availability for a Saturday. The staff there was extremely accomodating for us and allowed our family in at 8am to set things up for our 1pm wedding. They provided the arch and set up the chairs as we wanted for the ceremony and the same with the tables and chairs for the reception! It was great!! Our ceremony was outdoors on the grass facing the marina (beautiful views). The best thing about having a wedding at Marina Village is that we were able to bring in our own vendors, food, alcohol, and decorations (except in the Baja Room). That really saved us $$ in the long run! We had around 250 guests and if we would have had the wedding anywhere else, the wedding would have cost us at least double! So we are extremely happy that we had our wedding at Marina Village! Just keep your eye out for random wedding crashers!! LOL!! We were warned about it from friends prior to the wedding, and we did get some, but our guests shued them away. haha! But all in all, it was a great wedding location and I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a great and memorable wedding!

The view of the Marina was beautiful and the size of room was perfect for the amount of people we had. The cost was also exactly what we needed it to be. Our pictures were to die for. The location is clean and very well maintained, and manicured.

MARINA VILLAGE WAS ONE OF THE EASIEST VENDORS TO WORK WITH. WE HELD OUR RECEPTION IN THE SUNSET ROOM, AND FOUND IT TO BE THE BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING. IT WAS FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SITES. OUR ONLY GRIPE WAS THERE WAS NO HANDI-CAP ACCESSIBILITY (ON SECOND FLOOR, NO ELEVATOR), BUT WE MADE DO AND ALL OF OUR GUEST LOVED IT. COMFORTABLE SETTING.

Great Venue for our evening wedding. They were great.

ihad great time and there was a great view but my husband loved that we could bring our own wine botles since we had a small wedding and didnt want to spend a lot of money the staff was really helpful

They were so nice and helpful and always answered my questions promptly

Our experience with Marina Village as our wedding venue was great! It was very convenient to have the ceremony right next to the reception venue. We held our event in the Sunset Room and on the North Lawn. The value for the space was definitely the best we found in the city and the value was further extended by us being allowed to bring in our own vendors.The only minor issue we ran into was with scheduling the various events associated with the wedding. We were unable to hold a rehearsal on site the day before due to other events being held that day. Also, Marina Village was unable to reserve a prep room for my bridesmaids and I until two weeks before the event, which gave me a panic attack just to think about! Luckily, Paradise Point was very accommodating in those respects, so we were able to hold our rehearsal/dinner there and reserve a bridal suite there as well.

They where great! Where else can you bring your own vendors/alcohol, for the price and view you have at Marina Village??! We had an amazing time, and the pictures turned out great, with out us having to go to another location.

Marina Village was a wonderful place to have the wedding reception. The tables were not as exactly diagramed in the contract but we were able to make it work. the location is perfect and the staff is always willing to help. It was great to be able to come in early in the morning to start setting up the room and stay all night to party and have time to clean up without being rushed.

We had a gorgeous wedding at the Seaside Room. The wedding was on the patio underneath the canopies right before sunset so the pictures were gorgeous! Ranch Catering was the vendor for this choice and I think they did a fabulous job! The staff were very helpful, attentive and did a wonderful job with the set up/clean up. The reception was steps away, which was a huge bonus for the many out-of-towners that don't know the SD area; no driving! The reception had beautiful tables with panoramic views of the marina. My only complaint in the end was the ventillation. It got very warm and all we could do was open doors to cool off. That's the price of a good time dancing. :-)

Iwas very happy with the ceremony site. They set it up and had it ready for us to decorate when we got there are 9am. The location was beautiful and serene and I loved it. I felt like a princess walking down the aisle looking over the water.

The ceremony was beautiful on the South Lawn...we were lucky to have perfect weather! However, we had the Bayview Room and it started getting hot as the sun was going down. Other than that, we had a great time and enjoyed the nice area.

The view of the Marina was beautiful and the size of room was perfect for the amount of people we had. The cost was also exactly what we needed it to be. Our pictures were to die for. The location is clean and very well maintained, I save a lot of money because they provided the tables and chairs, which was great.
