Highly recommend the Coronado Fire Station Venue after recently hosting a military reception there- this place needs to be on your list of venue possibilities as the space, the food, the drink, and the quality of service was amazing!
My experi...
ence began when Ashley responded to my inquiry. A seasoned professional in the catering / hosting industry, Ashley was exactly what I needed as I navigated the unfamiliar territory of hosting 80 people. She was an expert in the menu and flexible on all my timelines. Companies risk unforeseen circumstances when hosting military functions. Such a circumstance happened in my case. Because of *reasons*, my ceremony was moved unexpectedly two months later than the original date. Ashley easily modified my contract reflecting the change and immediately lifted that stress. I also appreciated the understanding Ashley and the owner, JP, had when the government shutdown threatened my paycheck. The unexpected change of schedule and potential loss of income was met with grace, professionalism, flexibility, and the promise that "we're committed to making this a great event for you and your family."
The food was amazing! There were many highlights, but the Grazing Table came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I can't imagine doing an event without it now; it was the first thing people laid eyes on when they entered the venue and provided a delicious initial gameplan for my guests as they arrived. Also, the craft cocktails were delicious and the bartenders were friendly and talented.
The venue itself is inviting, modern, and a great size for a reception with 80-90 guests (which included kids). I think it would have easily held at least 100 as the front portion of the venue went largely unused with the exception of the Grazing Table. A few of us were able to retreat to the Speakeasy for quieter conversations, and can't stop thinking it would be the perfect venue for a small, private event.
Looking back on the evening, I received multiple comments about how I "went all out" with the venue, food, and drinks. Everyone had a great time, and ultimately that is what a host looks for when looking for a way to celebrate a milestone. Thanks Ashley, JP, and wonderful staff!
