Not quite sure where to begin, I will start off by saying that this venue and staff are nothing short from FANTASTIC! They have extended their cocktail area and will do all that is possible to make your wedding day dreams come true! They maid ...
sure that we understood our contract in detail and would work with us and other vendors. Our wedding coordinator was Betsy and she was absolutely AMAZING! She was very attentive to our wants and needs before during and after the wedding. Highly recommend spending the extra $$ to have her there on your big day it made the night go smoothly and keeps things running on time. The vendors they work with were great. I do think that COVID played a large roll in the stress placed one the vendors they work with. The Photo Booth and ability to work with outside vendors was perfect! We enjoyed every part of our wedding! One thing my husband and I can recommend to you is if you do pick this venue (which we highly suggest) take the time to do a first look of the reception area and take it all in before your guest enter the room! So happy to celebrate our big day with everyone at La Jolla and their team! The are a few negative things that I have to mention, since it is something that was brought to my attention by MANY guest.. the cake was no where to be found. More than 25 guest brought it up to me after the wedding that they were informed if they were not sitting they did not get cake. Not very happy to hear about this. Also when they had asked for cake once they sat down and NEVER was given to them. Also as great as the photo booth was it did not send all the pictures to all guests.

I am ASHAMED I have taken this long to write this review. FIVE STARS is not enough and a review is not enough to show the gratitude and happiness La Jolla brought to our wedding. From Day 1, Betsy went above and beyond, in everything. She alway...
s was one step ahead with suggestions, took the time to make sure I was happy and always was on top of our wedding date details. To begin, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, perfectly situated by Miracle Mile with parking all around. The venue has been remodeled for cocktail hour and the space is just perfect! It works so well from the cocktail hour and the transition to dinner. THE FOOD OMG! It was TOO good, not cause it was our wedding and I always make fun of the older people commenting on the food, but I have now become that person after my experience with La Jolla. If you have a chance to get desserts shots, DO IT! We could not stop talking about them!!! AND the staff gave the leftover ones to me in a pan to take home...without even me asking. THE STAFF I have to mention the staff. They were the most courteous and humble staff ever, they saw my husband and I sitting out the cocktail hour cause we were already so exhausted and wanted a breather. Someone came and brought two trays with one of each of our hors’ d’oeuvres, it was such a sweet sweet gesture. AND they were all amazing 😉. If you have a chance to have your cake with Cake Lounge they did not disappoint either! Again I became the old ladies commenting on the cake so so so yummy and moist and so many options. DJ Duni was THE BEST just so easy to work with EVERYONE was so easy to work with. So honest so humble funny just great amazing people. OH THE PHOTO BOOTH! You have got to get the mirror photo booth!! But my final note is reserved solely for Betsy, our perfect night was perfect because of her. She took her time on our day as if it was the only one and it meant the world to us. Like my whole family knew “Betsy” 🥰. We have beautiful memories of a beautiful day because of the wonderful people that work at La Jolla. The food, the music the venue everything was a plus. If you are thinking of this venue DO IT, you will not regret it!

ing captain, and his team, were INCREDIBLE! The whole night they made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed. They connected with our family and friends and made sure that everyone was taken care of and everything ran smoothly. I have to give major props to every single vendor at La Jolla like DJ Duni who is just fantastic in every single way! He takes the time to know you and the guests before the event in order to make sure he gets the right music playing. He makes you feel like family and is an amazing coordinator. His schedule is always spot on which really made the night even better! We received so many compliments about the music from start to end, especially the cocktail/dinner music! Cake Lounge is also amazing. Our wedding cake was delicious, beautiful and elegant! Ricky, the florist, made the flowers even more beautiful than I could have imagined. He really understood what I wanted and without having to give practically any direction, he knew what to do in order to bring the decor together! I can't say enough nice things about La Jolla. Their sales team and office team, including Betsy, are just phenomenal. Betsy made sure to answer every one of my emails and to send out reminders periodically. The gentlemen that worked in the office were also awesome! We loved working with La Jolla and cannot express how perfect they made our wedding.

What a poorly run sales staff! I spoke with a lady named Blanca to book an event. I knew she was going to be a disaster from the start just by the way she would ask me the same question several different times but I gave her (and this place) th...
e benefit of the doubt. I came in from out of town and carved out my only available time to see the venue and meet with Blanca. When we arrived, Blanca was very confused about almost of our information. She couldn’t find our most recent estimate so I had to pull it up on my phone - first red flag. Then she told us about a “venue fee” that she forgot to add to our estimate - second red flag. She tells us that she’ll bring it down from $1,500 to $500 because it was her mistake. We weren’t happy about this but we wanted to discuss more details. She then says that this will result in our event coming out to $96/person. Just to clarify, our estimate without the venue fee was $68/person for 50 guests. If we’re doing basic math, $500 divided by 50 guests comes out to $10/guest. So, our new price was somehow $96 per person for God only knows what reason - third red flag. The manager came over to see what was going on and she didn’t seem any more rational that Blanca. She wanted us to guarantee more people that we were comfortable with in order to waive the venue fee, which we weren’t going to do - forth red flag. Regardless, they were trying to overcharge us by almost $30. What a scam! I will never recommend this place to anyone.

Unfortunately, I have to post this negative review about La Jolla. Today, nearly two months after my wedding, I received confirmation from La Jolla that a valued ceremony item went missing due to their negligence/mishandling. Instead of ackno...
wledging any fault or even a straightforward apology, they started passing the blame - even on their own florist. This finger-pointing came even after I provided them with a photo I received of the missing item laying on top of the rest of the belongings they returned to me (meaning they had to physically remove the missing item from the rest of my belongings before giving them to me). To add to the insult of the finger-pointing and the lost memento, they refused to offer any kind of reimbursement or compensation. Additionally, I have also been advised by many guests, subsequent to the wedding, that they never received cake. I recall having to ask the coordinator 3-4 times during the wedding to serve the cake (long after dinner had ended and we had the cake cutting ceremony), but it appears that my requests were ignored until it was too late for most guests. I would like to note that we paid hundreds of dollars in upgrades to the cake. Knowing the money went to waste is beyond upsetting. God knows where the rest of the cake went, since about half of the 100+ guests missed out on it. On a final note, about 2 weeks ago La Jolla ran a $90 charge for vendor meals they said they did not previously charge - even though I provided them with the credit card authorization to pay for these meals a month BEFORE the wedding. I didn't bother to start pulling transactions to see if it was a duplicate charge, but based on what I know now, I should have. I should have also relied on other reviews on various sites about surprise charges and other issues I also experienced with La Jolla which I spared you of out of respect for the vendors that did a great job in the end.

If there’s a way she’ll do anything in her power to accomplish it but she never lies or gives you false information. The food was exceptional. All of our guest raved about the “tostones”. Dj Duni had the crowed dancing all night long. Specifically playing all of the music we discussed prior to the wedding. Dilia was so helpful she was so accommodating. ATC was beyond amazing. Dilia took the time to help me every step of the way. Rick did a fantastic job with the centerpieces. I honestly can not be happier. It was literally one of the happiest days of my life.

I had both my wedding ceremony and reception at La Jolla and can say they absolutely delivered professionalism. Kudos to Ricky Morales who designed my wedding bouquet and flowers for the venue. They were absolutely gorgeous!! My wedding cake by their recommended vendor Cynthia was absolutely delicious; red velvet and chocolate. Yummy! DJ Duni was an excellent DJ and did a great job playing all of my favorite times throughout the night and kept everyone dancing on their feet! Our customized “La Hora Loca” carnival of Brazilian dancers was the best entertainment which kept me and the guests extremely entertain!!! The food was delicious and very flavorful and the servers were attentive and professional. I would highly recommend this venue for any special event as they truly delivered class and elegance. A+ Thank you. Mrs. Pawlowski

. The ballroom was exactly what we were looking for our wedding celebration as it was not a traditional one. We met our Wedding Planner- Daniela; who embraced our commitment and showed great knowledge and support. Right away, she made us feel at home. Through the process, we met some great vendors and not so great vendors provided by La Jolla. The vendors we chose were AMAZING!!! Needless to say, they made our whole experience easy and enjoyable. The day of our wedding is one Richard and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Although nervous about how things were going to turn out, La Jolla and staff made our dreams come true. La Jolla made us feel like kings with their expertise in carrying out such big event. They showed compassion and charisma to us and all of our guests. Their professionalism was exhibited through in the ballroom the whole night. They were even accommodating to our pup knowing how important was the presence of our furry child (yes, with some restrictions). Overall, this was an unforgettable experience made in "heaven." Thank you La Jolla. We will be forever grateful!! Thank you Daniela for your wonderful hospitality.

e importantly, Maria came to understand the special significance that this event had for me and she made sure every detail was in place as I requested, and even surprised me with a few details of her own that blended in perfectly. I worked with all of La Jolla's vendors, except their florist. Despite the fact that I had purchased a package that included flowers, Maria was able to fairly accommodate my request to work with my own florist. The vendors I did work with were all wonderful, especially the cake bakery and the DJ. On the day of the event every last detail was in its place, either ahead of schedule or on time because of the team effort of the entire staff. Maria attended and managed the event with the assistance of Armando who is the manager of the event staff including caterers, bartenders, servers, etc. Armando was extremely pleasant, serviceable, and accommodating, and made the party a truly wonderful experience. If food is the detail that is important to you, then you must know that La Jolla's chef's / cooks / caterers are second to none! The food was delicious and let's be honest, for catered food, that was a huge surprise. I definitely expected the food to be good, but it was excellent! Not your typical catered bland wedding food at all. My 90 year old guest of honor grandfather who is a self-proclaimed tough to please food critic (and does not have much of an appetite to begin with) absolutely loved the food! He ate so well at his party and thoroughly enjoyed every detail of his special day. I could not have asked for a better day. La Jolla is a beautiful venue, both charming and elegant, fully equipped with a first class event staff who will help turn your vision into reality.

Every time you call even if is multiple times a day she is always patient, always kind, and always willing to help. Maria Belen will never tell you NO for an answer she will make it happen. My husband and I picked this venue for its proximity to the church we got married in, for its hardwood flooring (I dislike banquet space with carpet), its service since before we signed the contract, its beautiful exterior facade, and its modern floor plan. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Miami and want five star personalized service give Maria Belen a call, she will help you every step of the way and you will never feel overwhelmed!

I loved everything about La Jolla, The venue, the people, the food. They make sure you don’t worry about anything on your special day. Maria was so wonderful, even with a newborn she was just a text message away. Thank you all!

La Jolla Staff took EXCELLENT care of all the details for a perfect beach wedding! I literally did not have to do anything at all. The ceremony site in front of the sea was celestial! We (the bride and groom) had an assigned person all night to...
make sure our glasses were full and we had something to eat throughout the cocktail hour (while having a photo session) and the reception. The wedding planner was very creative, suggested A LOT of great ideas to save money, plus she will not try to push for an upsale of stuff you won't need. Also, she was very helpful at all times, and communicated with the rest of the staff through earpiece radios, which kept the whole ceremony/party running smooth. The chef at La Jolla created exquisite hors d'oeuvres that our guests enjoyed to the last one. Every single penny invested will be worth for a lifetime of beautiful memories of a day to remember.
