Harbor View Loft

We unexpectedly bumped into my spouse (Nick’s) high school friend who recommended HVL as a venue and so glad she did! Our first meeting with Daisy was extremely informative and helpful. She explained the various packages and provided a tour of the venue. The venue is centrally located just minutes away from the airport, and some of the must see neighborhoods of San Diego if you have guests flying from out of town. Harbor View Loft itself is beautiful and intimate, with panoramic views of San Diego Bay. Their outdoor terrace was perfect for our ceremony, and it made for a seamless transition to our reception inside. The food is catered by Personal Touch and each meal was carefully curated and absolutely delicious! We opted in for the short rib, salmon, various sides, and a burrito bar to end the night, which was a hit with our guests who fondly remember it even close to two months after our wedding. The suggested vendor list that Daisy provided was extremely helpful, and everyone on the list is a pleasure to work with. The planning process leading up to our special day went smoothly thanks to HVL’s team. Along with Daisy, we also worked with Artemis planning event details and with Sam as our day-of-coordinator, and they were all incredibly wonderful. As a whole we would absolutely recommend HVL for any wedding and/or celebratory event!

Awesome wedding venue! Best bang for your buck for sure! Daisy was really what sealed the deal for us! She was so helpful from the moment we met her and easy to contact. She made the entire process efficient and not feel so overwhelming. The venue itself is beautiful, it's right over the water. My husband and I got amazing golden hour pictures. The food and bar was excellent!!! I can't recommend Harbor View Loft enough!! If you're looking for over the water view with open bar, great view, awesome vendors at an AFFORDABLE price, then Harbor View is the place!!

Absolutely loved this venue! We did our tour and immediately fell in love. It’s absolutely beautiful! I mean hello, just look at it. But that’s the obvious- the cherry on top of us was Daisy and the rest of the staff! Daisy was so great to work with. She really made the whole experience from planning to end of reception so easy for us. The staff was so helpful and on top of EVERYTHING on the day. It truly was a STRESS FREE day. My only concern was arriving to the venue on time! Once we arrived, I knew we were in good hands. They saw our vision and executed it beautifully. Thank you all!

I would highly recommend this venue! It was beautiful and they made the whole wedding process seamless and perfect from start to finish. My wedding coordinator was Daisy and she was amazing along with all the staff. I am a more “hands off bride” I am not picky and absolutely loved how they handled everything for me all I had to do was share my ideas and show up and they made it perfect! Also the food was delicious. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding they truly do an amazing job.

Such a beautiful venue and we loved working with the HVL staff and especially, Daisy, who was extremely communicative and helpful during the planning process and the day off. All went extremely smoothly and the food was delicious! Would recommend to anyone looking for an all-inclusive venue right on the water! Such an unforgettable day and HVL really helped to make it happen!

What an absolute pleasure it was working with Harbor View Loft, especially Daisy. This happened to be the second venue we looked at for our wedding and our search stopped here. From the very first interaction we felt as though they genuinely cared and wanted to help make our day magical. We booked about 2 years in advance because of the pandemic and for two whole years Daisy answered every email question, some of which I’m sure I asked multiple times, quickly and courteously. The venue itself is beautiful. All the options for plate ware, table cloths, food, drinks, etc. is top notch. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. I’m sure there are things I’m missing but just know, on the off chance I ever need to plan a wedding again, it will be with Harbor View Loft.

My husband and I could not have been happier with Harbor View Loft as our vendor. From the very first time touring the venue and meeting Daisy, I knew this was the team I wanted to work with. The location was beautiful, and you would be hard pressed to find a better all inclusive package in San Diego. Their packages were reasonable and took so much of the planning off of our plate. I can honestly say my wedding planning was stress free thanks to the help of Harbor View Loft. The staff was quick on communication, super accommodating (we had several guests with various food allergies), and they genuinely cared about helping us have the best wedding day possible. Also, our guests raved about the food (everything from the appetizers to the desserts was delicious). We got so many compliments about our wedding. Thank you Harbor View Loft!

When looking for a wedding venue in San Diego, I can safely say I reached out to about 100 across the Knot and Wedding Wire to get quotes on pricing. Harbor View Loft was the only venue we toured and immediately booked that day! Not only are the prices extremely reasonable, the people are so kind and highly responsive when communicating. You get everything you want and more! I could not have asked for a better wedding venue. Every single thing we asked for they were able to accommodate with 5 star service. If you are looking for an amazing venue where you can have fun on your wedding day and get some help from their amazing team, I would look no further and book at HVL!

We choose Harbor View Loft because of the stunning views of the harbor and marina. We wanted an iconic San Diego setting for our guests and we also loved that so much came included with their packages, especially having a day-of coordinator. They were so easy to work with as we planned our wedding, very responsive and always prioritized making the most important aspects of our wedding happen. The food, service, bartenders and space were absolutely perfect for our wedding of 150. We received so many compliments from guests on the venue and the service. I cannot recommend them enough for the day-of coordination as well. We did not have to decorate, worry about vendors or deal with any details on the day of the wedding which allowed us to just enjoy. We would get married there again in a heartbeat :)

We looked at a few different venues before deciding on HVL. I pretty much knew from the initial consultation that I would be going with them as Darcie was so thorough and attentive to all of our questions. Shortly after signing the contract we had Daisy take over and she was just amazing. Always answering my random questions/emails and always making us feel important. She helped us pick out everything and adjusted our contract as needed whenever I made a change or added things. Everything ran so smoothly as she and Sam were there at the wedding making sure all was perfect. And it was. Thank you so much!!

Harbor View Loft was the best venue we could have ever wished for for our wedding day. We wanted all our guests coming in from out of town to have a full San Diego experience, and that's exactly what was offered. On top of the gorgeous surrounding scenery and access to both inside and outside areas, the staff was incredible to work with. They offered everything that we needed for our wedding, and made the process seamless. I was in contact with Daisy and Darcie every step of the way, and Myra, my day of coordinator, brought my entire vision to life. The food was talked about by our families for weeks after our wedding, and their recommended vendors list made it extremely easy to choose from. They helped make our dream wedding a reality and all of our guests absolutely loved every part of it!

This unassuming wedding venue is absolutely stunning and unlike any other I've been to. The staff was incredibly professional, punctual, and accommodating - we couldn't have asked for better people to work with. Daisy and Myra in particular were excellent (and were really good at handling multiple points of communication, including from the mother of the bride). Everything felt very streamlined and seamless. We were planning this wedding from 3000 miles away, and after 2 years of pandemic delays so the level of support and attention Daisy and the whole staff gave to us was really a lifesaver in an otherwise chaotic process. We were also paying for the wedding ourselves and this was by far the least ridiculously expensive option that still felt really beautiful and unique. Would absolutely recommend for any future event.

We got married at HVL on 7/29/22 and it was truly the most DREAMY day. When we first toured HVL we planned on having our ceremony out on the lawn outside by the water but we ended up having to have it upstairs on the rooftop and oh my goodness I am SO glad we did. The rooftop allowed for the most intimate feeling during the ceremony as all of our guests were able to be so close to me and my husband when we were up at the altar. We had around 125 guests and I will never forget the feeling of walking down the aisle and everyone standing up. I was so emotional walking down the aisle at HVL because it felt as if all of our guests were giving me a huge hug. It was the most surreal feeling and I wish all brides could experience this! Then once we were up there everyone said they LOVED the views of San Diego! We had lots of guests from out of town so for them this was such a perfect spot because they could see downtown SD and have the classic harbor vibes as well for a perfect photo backdrop. We took photos down on the lawn with our bridesmaids and groomsmen and then by the harbor for sunset and with family so you really can take advantage of it all! The airport being SO close is super super helpful and it wasn't a bother at all during the ceremony to have an airplane fly by, no one even noticed it. During the whole planning process everyone was SO helpful! Especially Daisy and Darcie as they were the two that helped us from the beginning! During our tastings and linen picking they were so patient with me and my husband and we are so very grateful for this. Our day of coordinator Myra was also SO wonderful. She really made sure everything was perfect and it truly was!!! The FOOD was also so good! We ended up doing tacos (which I am not sure if they are available anymore but I heard all the food is unbelievable) and churros for dessert and everyone said they loved this! It made our out of town guests feel even more like they had the whole SD experience. Overall they truly were so wonderful at making sure everything went smoothly and I 100% recommend HVL and the whole team to absolutely anyone who wants to have the perfect San Diego wedding! It was intimate, classy, budget friendly, and SO MUCH FUN! Thank you so much HVL!

We got married at Harbor View Loft 4/30/22 and it was the best decision we could have made! When we were touring venues we knew immediately that HVL was where we would get married. The venue itself is incredible- amazing views, elegant interior, great patio. All the staff were fantastic to work with, Darcie was our primary point of contact and day of coordinator and she is the absolute best! Personal Touch Dining is the catering service used and WOW- our guests could not stop raving about the food, it was absolutely delicious! If we were to do this all over again, we'd pick HVL every time.

HVL was amazing from start to finish. The staff of HVL made our wedding planning process so easy from start to finish. Annalisa, Darcie, and Caitlin were a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to all of my countless emails, answer all my questions, and even shifted our date once with no issues. The location and all the amenities provided by the venue made for an amazing day. I didn’t have to look elsewhere for catering or rentals for our wedding which made things so much less stressful for me. Darcie was our main point of contact during the planning process and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. From scheduling multiple tastings, adjusting timelines, handling everything on the back end of the rehearsal and day of. Caitlin was fantastic as our day of venue coordinator. She worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, made sure we always had plenty to eat or drink, and made sure everything went as planned. I am so pleased with how everything turned out. Our guests loved the venue, the food, and the whole vibe thanks to HVL!!!

We had our wedding at the Harbor View Loft in December 2021 and had the absolute best time. This was such an incredible venue for our wedding. We lucked out with perfect weather in December and had a beautiful view, sunny ceremony, and everything ran so smoothly. Our coordinator, Darcie, and her assistant, were absolutely amazing. They were so well-prepared, efficient, and kind the entire night. Because of them, we always had a drink in our hand, didn't have to worry about the timeline or schedule, and could truly enjoy the entire evening. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and on time and made sure we were having a great time. We also had tons of compliments from our guests about how well the bartender worked - quick and friendly! The staff that they have at the HVL made this such an amazing venue. It was incredible to have our wedding at a place where we didn't have to have any worries and they really did the best job at making our day perfect- great food, beautifully decorated, and delicious drinks. After having to push back our wedding and working with Annalisa and Darcie for months, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a venue with a great view of San Diego, amazing staff who perfect their decor and are friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with!

I don't even have words for how effortless my wedding day was last week at Harbor View Loft. I initially found them in January 2020 through a friend who used them (and they saved her day by the way)! I initially was working with Annalisa, and then worked with Darcie as my coordinator the last six months. Annalisa was wonderful, and Darcie is an angel. Day of the wedding Darcie and Dani (another coordinator) handled every. single. moment. If there were any issues that day, I don't know, because they nailed it. Nothing was brought to my attention and I felt wonderful. They made sure my husband and I were fed, that I got a drink, and that everything with our vendors was coordinated. They handled the arch rental and set up for me and it turned out gorgeous. I absolutely do not have enough kind words for their staff, how beautiful this venue is, and the fact that it was all-inclusive was amazing for my budget. Their in-house catering company is PHENOMENAL. Everyone is still raving about how insanely good the food was. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD. I have been to many weddings where the food is less than good, and I am so amazed at the quality and service of our food. Thank you so much Harbor View Loft for my day - I am only sad it is over. Do not sleep on this venue - book it NOW.

We loved our experience with the Harbor View Loft! From Annalisa, to Darcie, to Danielle, all ladies were so helpful with our wedding planning process. Because we postponed for 2 years with the pandemic, this crew stood by us the whole way through. We are so grateful for their support in helping us finally celebrate our special day. Thank you!

Thank you for making our day go as smooth as possible. I thought I would be pulled into different directions but you guys took care of everything and we were able to enjoy our night with no worries. After weeks of stressful planning it was nice to let go one night and I don’t think that would have been possible without Darcie or Danielle. Thanks again!!

HVL was absolutely perfect! We rented the park out across the street for the ceremony, because the walkway for the ceremony they had did over look the parking lot, but since there was an option to do it across the street that’s not really even important. Our wedding venue coordinator was always responsive, answered every question. They have inclusive packages which we LOVED! They made our day perfect.

I cannot say enough good things about Harbor View Loft and the team! Our wedding was cancelled twice due to covid, but they always made sure to communicate and worked with us on finding a new date each time so that we could finally have our day! We had our ceremony across the street at the park and the views from there and the reception location are breathtaking. Annalisa, Darcie and Danielle were amazing throughout the almost 2 years of planning (thanks covid) and really made sure every detail on our day was perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests about the venue and how great everything was. I would highly recommend this venue and team to anyone getting married, you won’t be disappointed!

The best decision we made for our wedding was having it at Harbor View Loft! The event staff were so attentive in the planning process and the day of coordination was flawless! Not to mention the venue itself is right on the harbor and bay, so there were great views no matter where you look (and we got a fabulous sunset!) The venue provides versatility with the patio for an outside ceremony and the gorgeous reception space when the party transitions inside. We loved the food and bar packages, it made it so much easier to have the catering onsite. Darcie, Annalisa, and Danielle made it the best event possible. If you want an A+ events team and a fabulous venue, check out Harbor View Loft!

We had our wedding at Harbor View Loft 6/5/21. We had a great experience from start to finish. We loved that most things are included (remember that music, photography, flowers, and officiant are not). Having an open bar and great food were important to us. The location of the venue can't be beat. The views of the skyline, the harbor, and North Island are incredible. Though we didn't have the park reserved for our ceremony, we were still able to take pictures there with our photographer. Annalisa and Darcie helped us with planning and executing every detail of our ceremony and reception and made sure we thought about everything. Darcie made sure that the day of went off without a hitch and that we got a chance to taste everything that was served! We got lots of compliments on the food from Personal Touch Dining as well as the wedding overall. We had a great time and would definitely recommend considering HVL for your wedding!

Harbor View Loft is one of San Diego's hidden gems! My husband and I had our wedding reception in July and it was such a great experience! Annalisa and Darcie of Personal Touch Dining as well as Dannielle of Harbor View Loft were all a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. One thing that we really loved was the space. When we did our initial walk through the views captured our eyes immediately. The view is gorgeous with the harbor on one side and the San Diego skyline on the other. It was beautiful and our guests loved hanging out on the patio throughout the evening. We would definitely recommend this venue to future couples!

Harbor View Loft was the perfect choice venue for our wedding. It met and exceeded our expectations. The food was all delicious and the staff were on top of everything 120%. It did get toasty inside at the reception (summer wedding), but all the outside space/tables/games meant our guests could walk outside to cool off and look at the view. Overall, we are SO glad we chose this amazing venue for our special day that we will remember for a lifetime. Our guests raved about the food and the views, and I can't wait to see all of our amazing pictures with the water and downtown at sunset as the backdrop. Thank you so much!!!

I can not say enough good things about this place! After my wedding was postponed twice due to COVID, I finally got married here at the end of July. From start to finish, Harbor View Loft exceeded my expectations. Not only did they help me reschedule my wedding, but they went above and beyond to ensure my day was everything I wanted it to be. Every single gust still talks about how spectacular my venue was. Thank you Harbor View Loft!

We absolutely LOVED everything about this venue! My husband and I got married there July 2021 and it was absolutely PERFECT! Not only is the venue stunning all by itself, but the Sales Reps, Coordinators (Shoutout to Annalisa, Darcie and Danielle) and their staff were so kind, patient and anticipated our needs making our day stress-free and pure magic! My hubby has said several times that if we were to do it all over again we would go back to Harbor View Loft without a doubt! :) Beautiful views of San Diego, conveniently located especially for out of town guests, the catering company Personal Touch Dining's food was AMAZING! Seriously would not change a thing!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous! Our wedding was mid-June and was the first wedding hosted here post-COVID that held the ceremony in the park across from Harbor View Loft. We were totally expecting little hitches here and there as the staff got back into the swing of things, but everything went off perfectly and seamlessly! Can't recommend this place enough, it's an incredible value and makes for some amazing wedding photos. Serious kudos to the staff for making our special day perfect.

This venue was gorgeous! My husband I and I married April 2016 through a civil ceremony, so we didn't have our dream wedding 5 years ago but decided to have a big beautiful wedding for our 5 year anniversary/ vowel renewal and wanted to include our children, never once did we have this "vowel renewal" vibe, they made us feel like it was our first wedding and made it so special for us. Annalisa was seriously the sweetest. she had such a fun, warm personality... I even joked about her looking like Whitney from MTV's "The Hills" (yea,I'm old). Aside from the gorgeous venue and great wedding packages they offer, she was also part of the reason we chose this venue. Planning a wedding is EXTREMELY stressful, I was in over my head planning and to top it off, worry about COVID and restrictions while planning made it hard and unpredictable, but Annalisa was always super amazing and available for any questions or concerns I had. That meant so much because I needed to work with someone I could rely on at any time during the planning process. We went to view it February 2020 right before COVID hit. It was the second venue we had checked out and I knew immediately I had to get married there. We had checked out 3 more venues afterward, but nothing gave me the feels like the Harbor View Loft did. We initially planned for April 10, but there were still a few restrictions and we wanted our day to be special and one to remember for all the details, not because of COVID, so we moved it to May 29. Annalisa was great enough to help make the changes. 2 weeks before our wedding, we received an email from her they were now allowed to have the dance floor open and that was a huge relief because we wanted to have that open to the guests. She also informed me she was promoted and was no longer in charge of helping me, she told me Darcie was super sweet and would be my new point of contact but assured me she would be there every step of the way had I needed her. The night before the wedding I went to drop off stuff and I met both Darcie and Danielle who would be my day-of wedding coordinator. THAT'S ANOTHER HUGE PLUS!!! included in their package is a day of coordinator. It really took all of the planning day of stress off of me. they set everything up, I never once had to worry about any detail, we just showed up from the church and it was gorgeous! more than I dreamed of. I have kids and go hard with every birthday party so planning and all the details and setup is always a ton of work so I appreciated Danielle and the team for all of their hard work and PATIENCE! We can be all over the place crazy and never run on schedule (so embarrassing -_- ) but they were extremely patient with us and I appreciate it so much. overall, AMAZING experience and I'd recommend this venue to anyone and everyone looking to host an event or wedding ... you won't regret it! THANK YOU ANNALISA for all of your kindness, your help, DANIELLE for your patience, and for setting everything up beautifully - Thank you to all of the staff at Harbor View loft for making this such a beautiful memory and experience for us.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Annalisa and Personal Touch Dining! Harbor View Loft is only a few years old and is absolutely stunning from every angle. If you are looking for an all-inclusive venue – this is it! From cake to table linens to chairs, portable heaters and a gorgeous bar – Harbor View Loft has so much to offer their clients. The HVL coordinator, Annalisa, was incredibly communicative, proactive and accommodating to every single one of my (crazy!) requests and questions. She is an absolute dream to work with and kept me calm as I navigated planning a wedding during a pandemic. We had so much fun doing the food tasting and discussing all of the options (including the tablescapes). Every item on the menu is delicious – we had quite a though time narrowing down our final selections. The Personal Touch Dining staff was super attentive to our guests and made the entire evening go off without a hitch. Thank you for everything!!

Highly recommended! Being a COVID bride has been so difficult but Annalisa made it as smooth as can be by giving me all the options and making everything work. I had to reschedule from September 2020 to March 2021 dueto COVID and Annalisa was always there ready to help in every way. We live out of town so we mostly emailed or talked on the phone and she always replied quickly. It was such a relief because we always had questions and needed recommendations for all our vendor. For my wedding I had one request, get married by the water and this venue was perfect. So many beautiful spots. Plus they offer many choices and their food is delicious! Loved our open bar and Mr and Mrs drink. Overall it was the perfect day and I know I have Annalisa, personal touch dining and everyone at Harbor View Loft to thank for that!

The experience my partner and I have had thus far have been nothing less of an easy and amazing experience. Not only is this venue in a beautiful location in San Diego, but this company/ venue also includes everything that you can think of. From the ceremony to the catering! As you can imagine how stressful it is to have rescheduled our wedding twice during this time, Annalisa from personal Touch Dining as made the process as painless and stress free as possible! She is so kind, understanding and has provided our wedding all the effort and attention that we could imagine. We definitely recommend any and every couple to choose this beautiful venue and have Annalisa as your coordinator. We are looking forward to our special day!

This is best venue with amazing Harbor views. We had our wedding in October 2020. Annalisa, the wedding coordinator, was a pleasure to work with. She is super responsive, helpful and will be there for you every step of the way. We had to make major last minute changes due to COVID-19 and she worked with us to make it happen. The staff is extremely attentive & made everything look flawless. Food was delicious and menu has tons of options to choose from for all liking. Thank you Annalisa and the staff for everything!

We were married here in January 2020 and absolutely loved it! From the initial walk through, tasting, planning, and even last minute changes Annalisa really helped to make everything go perfectly and smoothly. I honestly can’t remember any hiccups or issues along the way. We did the ceremony at the park, cocktail hour on the patio (they had heaters), and the reception inside, it was really beautiful and everyone had a great time. Couldn’t of imagined our wedding anywhere else.

Brides and Grooms beware of Personal Touch Dining/Harbor View Loft in San Diego! My son’s Saturday wedding had to be postponed twice due to COVID. @PersonalTouchD told him that they had NO SATURDAYS available in 2021 to reschedule. We have emails with them offering several Saturdays to a new customer. They figured they had our money and they had us over a barrel. The rescheduling contract states that if the event is cancelled, Personal Touch Dining can keep ALL OF YOUR MONEY – without performing any services. The reschedule was contingent on us signing a new and revised contract, which had changes that were unacceptable. They also lied about the meaning of some of the changes. We refused to sign the revised contract. They have taken the position that, since we refused the new contract, we cancelled, WE DID NOT CANCEL. THEY CHANGED THE AGREEMENT AND DID NOT PERFORM. We just wanted our money back. They offered a partial refund, saying “It is fair and reasonable to share the cost of the pandemic we find ourselves in.” We were the only ones sharing! They said they incurred $3,000 in fixed costs for an event that never happened and wasn’t scheduled to happen for six more weeks. The partial refund was contingent on us signing a non-disparagement agreement so that we could NEVER say anything negative about them to anyone. We refused the partial refund and they refused to return any of our money. They provided no services and still have our $9,200. BRIDES & GROOMS BEWARE!

Harbor View Loft is absolutely breath-taking. We couldn't have picked a better venue to tie the Knot! Working with Annalisa and Personal Touch Dining was a pleasure and they truly made our day seamless. The food was amazing especially the Rustic Chicken and Pork Tenderloin. Not to mention our guests loved the appetizers and signature drinks. You can not go wrong with choosing this beautiful venue on the San Diego Harbor. The skyline at night is impressive with a 360 view. 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Harbor View Loft! This venue is so amazing for so many reasons. Because it is a newer venue they thought of everything to make your evening memorable. The dance floor is spacious and the floor plan flows beautifully. The outdoor space for the ceremony is surround by water on both sides. In fact the venue has floor to ceiling windows on all side allowing breathtaking views of downtown, the harbor, and the bay. The venue sells itself. But the service you get is impeccable, and Annalisa is exceptionally responsive and gets back to you right away. She makes the entire process flawless. She is organized and thinks of everything. And she treats you like you are her favorite client. The way they have dealt with Covid19 is amazing. They have bent over backwards to do whatever they can to accommodate their brides to be able to reschedule their wedding. We could not be happier we chose the Harbor View Loft!

First off - this venue is just absolutely GORGEOUS! All of our guests raved about it! It's location was a big seller for us as it's close the airport (we had a lot of people coming in from out of town) There's a full wrap-around balcony as well as the patio (where we held our ceremony). They have the option to have your ceremony across the street at Harbor Park. We had attended a wedding there previously and decided not to just because there's less privacy and people driving by and honking. Annalisa, the venue manager, was amazing to work with. She always responded in a timely manner, and did everything she could to make our wedding vision come to life. Compared to other venues we looked at (and we looked at a lot) I found that this was very reasonably priced. We had 100 guests (so obviously it will vary by guest count).

We had our wedding in Nov at Harbor View Lofts. We loved everything about it! Annalisa, the wedding coordinator was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so sweet and helpful, and went out of her way to make sure our big day was perfect! We got married in the park across the street and then had our reception at the venue. Our guests still talk about how beautiful The view of downtown was and what a great day we had! Bless my dad’s heart but he was so concerned about people crossing the street without a “crossing guard” (even though it’s a pretty quiet street) Annalisa was very helpful in facilitating this request! And we had several gentlemen to make sure my older grandmother and guests where able to make it across the street safely. The food was absolutely delicious we had the tri tip and the capresse chicken, with the garlic parm potatoes. Everything was great, and the staff was even thoughtful enough to set aside the appetizers we missed while taking photos. As someone who is not great at planning things Annalisa made it easy and our package included choices I hadn’t thought of including cake trays, cake cutting utensils and a variety of linens. We had a perfect day and Annalisa made sure of it! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to married by the water!

This venue was absolutely incredible. Right on the bay and marina with a city line view of downtown San Diego, I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Annalisa (venue coordinator) was so easy to talk to and so helpful. She was always easy to reach and answered every question/concern we had that same day. She made wedding planning so enjoyable and we were so lucky to have had her be part of the process! The venue itself was also super affordable. The best part is that it’s its own building so we had the freedom to use the whole thing without restrictions, and unlike some other venues we looked at in the San Diego area, we didn’t have anyone from the public looking in at us or constantly coming by. It was perfect. Most of our guests traveled for our wedding so we wanted it to be as “San Diego” as possible, and this venue was just that. The food was fantastic (so many compliments on the filet mignon!), the views were stunning, and the venue itself was modern, new, and completely up to date. They provided everything from linens, to tables/chairs, to plates/utensils, to table numbers. We didn’t have to bring in one thing of our own besides decorations. I feel so lucky that we found this venue. I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect setting for our special day!

We got married here in July and it was nothing short of picturesque! Everything went extremely smooth with the help of Annalisa! The food was amazing! The space is beautiful, updated and clean! The space was exactly what we envisioned on our wedding day! My only complaint is that it was hot I’m still not sure exactly what happened but the grooms room was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The reception area has panoramic windows so naturally that room is going to be warmer but it’s almost as if the space wasn’t cooled down enough from the start of the day then throw 100+ people in there it was hot. But honestly it was such an amazing day and everything else about the venue and the staff was great!

On October 12, 2019, my husband and I got married at the Harbor View Loft. I cannot rave enough about our experience with Personal Touch Dining and our wedding at Harbor View Loft. From start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. Our coordinator was Annalisa, and she was a dream come true. She made an experience that can be overwhelming and stressful seem effortless. The whole process was very organized, and the whole team of employees at Personal Touch Dining work like a well-oiled machine. We are not from San Diego, so they went above and beyond to help us coordinate and make all of our plans and arrangements, offering suggestions when we needed help. All of our questions/phone calls/emails were answered promptly, they were able to work with all of our requests. We fell in love with the venue, the pictures online just can’t do it justice. The views and atmosphere of the location are priceless. We had our ceremony on the patio. There isn’t really need for too much outdoor decorations because the views alone are an amazing backdrop for the ceremony. There is a park right across the street that offered a close spot for some amazing photos, and someone was even kind enough to let us into the marina to grab a few photos. The indoor reception space is new and modern and had more than enough space to hold our 180+ guests comfortably. They have separate rooms on separate floors for the bride and the groom to get ready and hang out before the ceremony. Annalisa was there early coordinating with all the vendors and making sure all the little details were perfect and in place. The food was AMAZING. Our family and friends are still raving about the spinach and artichoke stuffed mushroom appetizer and the parmesan crusted chicken portion for dinner. Our guests were so impressed by everything and everyone had a great time. I can go on and on about all the little details, but I’ll end this review by just saying that we are so unbelievably grateful for a truly perfect wedding day and everything Personal Touch Dining did for us.

My daughter’s wedding reception was at Harbor View Loft. We had such a wonderful evening, with all the huge picturesque windows the views are just as stunning from inside as outside. The venue is super clean, modern and easily transformed to adapt to any decor. Very spacious, our guests had a great time from mingling at the large bar to gathering together outside under the stars.

My now husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Harbor View Loft and were overjoyed by the beauty and transformation ability of the space into exactly the venue we desired. It made a spectacular location for our many out of town guests who we got to share the wonderful San Diego coast and views with.

Choosing Harbor View Loft as my wedding venue was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Where do I begin? 1. Working with the sales manager, Annalisa, was an absolute pleasure. She made everything easy and stress-free. She truly understood my wants and needs and went above and beyond for me! If you know exactly what you want, she's ready to listen. If you're a little more laid back like me, she's ready to give suggestions and help guide you for your day. 2. It's affordable!! I viewed 5+ other venues and this one (BY FAR) was the most affordable and the best bang for your buck. Even though the cost per person was lower than any other venue I viewed, nothing was cheap here. There was a large variety selection of food, including filet mignon—many other venues charge more for filet! 3. Annalisa worked with the chef to make sure that there would be meals that would fit the dietary needs of myself and my friends and family—gluten-free for me and vegan for my friends/family. 4. The venue itself is beautiful. The inside is so modern and clean. Everything is newly remolded in there. The color scheme is pretty neutral so that you can spice it up however you dream! There are windows all around that look at the marina on one side and the bay on the other. There are views of the entire downtown cityscape and the Coronado bridge too. 5. On the day of the event, all of the servers, bartenders, and any other workers were so kind and helpful. They saved 4 pieces of each appetizer so that my husband and I could eat them after cocktail hour. Any worker was constantly making sure we had everything we needed, to the point where we never had to go up to the bar to get our own drink! The food was amazing (I highly recommend the mediterranean salmon)! The park was beautiful—Annalisa helped us obtain a park permit to have the ceremony there. The venue was beautiful and the servers, chef, and bartenders were great, which made my wedding as perfect as it possibly could have been. It was everything I have dreamt of since I was young!

We absolutely loved this venue for our wedding! We had a lot of out of town guests, so we wanted to get married somewhere that was very "San Diego". This place had it all, the sail boats, the city sky line, the water, indoor and outdoor options. It is new so its very fresh and clean looking. I loved all the hardwood and whites with the built in bar. The package came with so much included- tables and chairs, place settings, candle votives, linens, etc. Our main contact was Annalisa and she was AMAZING! She replied promptly to every question, was willing to work with us on some small random details we needed to accommodate since we didn't have a seating chart. All our meetings/tastings with her were super informative and helpful. You can tell she knows what shes doing and keeps everything super organized. Personal Touch Dining did a great job with the food and displays. It was super easy to have the venue and caterer all in one. Thank you Annalisa, HVL and PTD!!!
