La Valencia Hotel

Highly recommend!

re so attentive, detail-oriented, and professional. This goes for all hotel staff, too! We highly recommend any couple that is considering SD for their wedding, to absolutely book here. It will forever be our special place!

genuinely cared for, welcomed, and celebrated. A very special thank you goes to Bobby Fader, Director of Catering. Bobby made the entire wedding planning process an absolute delight. From our very first conversations, we felt completely confident placing our reception in his hands. He is the perfect combination of professional, organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely kind. His communication throughout the planning process was exceptional, and he made every detail feel effortless. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Bobby gave us complete peace of mind every step of the way. The entire support staff was equally incredible. Everyone we interacted with was attentive, accommodating, and highly professional. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel like we were their only priority. The reception itself was flawless. The food was absolutely delicious—from the appetizers to both dinner courses—and the drinks were wonderful as well. Every one of our 30 guests commented on how incredible everything was, and everyone had an amazing time. The setting couldn't have been more beautiful. La Valencia is a stunning historic boutique hotel, and it provided the perfect backdrop for such an important day in our lives. What truly sets La Valencia apart, however, is how they make you feel. Throughout our stay, they treated us like family. We were welcomed with thoughtful handwritten notes in our villa before the wedding and surprised with another heartfelt note afterward, along with champagne and other special treats. These personal touches meant so much to us and made an already unforgettable experience even more meaningful. Our stay was exceptional in every way. We left feeling like we had become part of the La Valencia family rather than simply guests at a hotel. We know that every time we return to La Jolla, La Valencia will be our home away from home. We look forward to staying there again and keeping in touch with the wonderful people who made our wedding weekend so incredibly special. Thank you, Bobby, and everyone at La Valencia, for giving us memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

professional and easy to work with. Thank you La Valencia for beautiful memories!

have asked for a better venue. Bobby and Dani were a tremendous help and so supportive throughout the planning process and checked in all during the wedding day.  Could not recommend LV more!!! The pink lady will always hold a special place in our hearts!!!! 

now them and work with them this past year! We already miss this place so much and we will be back!

on that vision in every possible way. Throughout the entire process, communication was exceptional. We worked with Bobby during booking and Dani for planning and execution, and they were an outstanding team. Everything felt thoughtful, organized, and completely seamless from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what truly sets La Valencia apart is the level of service. The entire staff was attentive, polished, and incredibly professional, ensuring the evening flowed effortlessly. Every detail was handled with care, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy each moment. The food was phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about it. We received so many compliments on the setting, the service, and the overall experience. Looking back, our wedding felt exactly as we had envisioned, timeless, elegant, and truly perfect. There is not a single thing we would change. We feel so lucky to have celebrated at La Valencia and could not recommend it more highly!

his team made everything so easy and enjoyable. The entire day and night was executed perfectly and allowed us to be completely invested in the celebration without having to think or worry about a single thing! I cannot recommend this venue enough!! We went back to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and will continue to revisit for years to come!

ze for our 60-person wedding, and so beautiful with the ocean backdrop and landscape. There are lots of amazing spots for photography. From the moment we toured the venue, to planning details along the way, to the big day, communication was excellent. The hotel suggested vendors for our wedding that made vendor selection easy, and all of them were equally fantastic. The service the entire weekend was outstanding. The bridal suite was a fantastic space for the girls to get ready, made even better by the mimosas and treats the staff brought up. The team also went above and beyond for our family, even using the hotel golf carts to shuttle the grandparents to nearby restaurants so they wouldn't have to walk far. The food at the wedding was top-notch, with many guests raving about the meal. I was impressed with the number of wait staff who made sure the evening went smoothly. Overall, it was an incredible event, and we highly recommend La Valencia hotel.

as great. They are responsive and transparent. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

ork with. 

its 1920s old Hollywood feel are pure magic. Bobby Fader, Dani Hendricks, and the entire team took incredible care of us and made the day seamless and unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about it, and so many said it was the best wedding dinner they have ever had. It feels like a second home to us now, and we cannot recommend it enough!

nks appetizers etc. We were given top notch service a top-notch facility with top-notch food. Saving the best for last our top-notch coordinators Bobby Fader-Dani.

for during our wedding stay was amazing. Highly highly recommend!!! 

so amazing and responsive in helping us plan everything for the big day. Then during the actual big day, everything ran incredibly smoothly and Bobby even helped us with little things like printing out our vows and speeches and finding a collar stay last minute for my brother. The venue’s preferred vendor list is impeccable and I trusted them each step of the way. We got married in December and had a complimentary sparkling wine welcome for our guests and an extra 30 minutes to the day. Essentially if you’re thinking even a little bit about looking into La Valencia you should book them now! 

y respectful and accommodating of our Greek wedding traditions. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still talking about how fun it was. The food was delicious, the bar service was great, and we are so grateful we chose this venue.

, but what made it unforgettable was the incredible team behind it. Bobby and Dani were an absolute dream to work with — warm, organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Our guests could not stop raving about the gorgeous setting, the exceptional staff, and the unbelievably good food. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt so supported throughout the entire process. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and so much more. We’re forever grateful for the memories they helped us create!

an so smoothly. The team has clear packages, pricing, and communication that made everything straightforward. Their attention to detail and care could be seen with every interaction. The chef and team were easily able to accommodate food allergies for our full reception menu and we loved how customized the day felt to us. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding with delicious food overlooking the cove in La Jolla, this is the place for you!

wedding. The views were incredible, rain or shine, and the indoor outdoor option was great to help keep people cool while dancing. They are also dog friendly and had great recommendations for us for a dog sitter the day of. Having that really helped us enjoy the day knowing our pup was taken care of.

k. On the day of our wedding, the staff were kind and attentive to our needs. The ceremony was picturesque with La Jolla sunset as our backdrop and the venue was of course beautiful and classic. The food was delicious and was greatly enjoyed by our guests. We are extremely happy that we choose La Valencia Hotel for our wedding, thanks to the awesome team led by Bobby and Dani!

nected us with the most amazing day-of coordinator to make it everything we could have dreamed of and more. We had multiple people come out of their way to tell us it was the one of, if not the best wedding they had been too with most saying it was due to the staff and uniqueness of the hotel! Cannot say thank you enough to the entire team!

your end, have it at La Valencia. The food was amazing, the decor was amazing, the treatment was amazing, absolutely wonderful of a weekend! 

only is the property stunning (and I have stayed at my fair share of 5 star hotels around the world), but the service is impeccable too. I hosted my wedding here this month, and every part from the site visit, to the menu tasting, to the room blocks, to the incredible service at the pool (Mike is the absolute best!), was perfect from start to finish. I received nothing but compliments from 90+ guests, and it is a true testament to the hotel, to Bobby, Dani, Mike, and every other single staff member of this hotel. We are already talking about having a yearly vacation here to celebrate our anniversary, and I cannot wait to go back.

reat to work with and made our day even more special.  

ur guests feel special while delivering a dream wedding to our bride and groom.

he team. Picking La Valencia as our venue was the best decision we made! Bobby and Dani were amazing to work with- they listened to us and made sure our dream day became a reality. They were always available for questions and we could not have had our wedding without them! The entire La Valencia staff was extremely professional, kind, and accommodating which made a lasting impression on us and our guests. The food was unreal- from the passed appetizers to the main course- and was easily the best food we've had at a a wedding (biased, I know). The location was stunning and the pictures turned out amazing. There is not one complaint we have from our wedding. If you are thinking of having your wedding at La Valencia- do it! We wish we could relive it over and over again.

pace for our 80-person wedding, cocktail hour, and reception. The team at La Valencia thought of everything and they guided us kindly and thoroughly through every step of the way. Bobby and Dani are kind, open, and welcoming, and their dedication and passion to their job is clear in everything they do. They brought a wonderful feel good energy to our wedding that, combined with their attention to detail and dedicated planning, put us at ease and amplified our joy on the big day. It really felt like they took care of everything and that our wedding was truly the perfect day. Additionally, the food absolutely wowed us and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. We wouldn’t change a thing and we can’t wait to visit La V over the years and return to the best day of our lives.

ue. Bobby and Dani in particular were so efficient and easy to work with. The food and drinks were delicious. The views are unmatched. Leading up to the wedding they were very supportive and attentive and that carried through the day of as well! If you are contemplating booking La Valencia for your event, or even for just a stay, you will not be disappointed!

/family at the most iconic hotel and stunning location. We loved everything, as did all of our friends and family. Many of our guests told us it was the MOST fun wedding they had been to, with great food/drinks and iconic view that can't be beat. La V went above and beyond to help make our big day -and beginning of our future as husband and wife- so very special. La V/Bobby and Dani’s unwavering commitment to detail, high-end hands-on execution, seamless communication and flexibility, and passion for couples part of La V's history of love and marriage made our wedding day everything I dreamed it would be and more: beautiful, iconic and unforgettable.

rried and who wants to reduce stress from their wedding planning. Bobby and Dani were just a joy to work with! Cannot recommend them enough!

requests. The space is just stunning, the set up was perfect and the ballroom and ocean views made for a beautiful day and gorgeous photos. The food was also incredible, we got so many guest compliments on how great the appetizers and dinner were! The team on the wedding day was professional and kind and made us and our guests feel so special. We couldn't be happier with our decision to get married at La Valencia!

n California coastal venue, the hotel was absolutely top-tier to work with. A few callouts; BOBBY the catering director was just fabulous. He was personable, warm and kept us laughing, but also was extremely accommodating and helpful from countless questions over our months planning via email, hopping on calls to sort out details and even helping us work with our budget to have our dream day at this destination. The organization and professionalism of the whole staff was phenomenal and when I tell you, this is the best wedding food any of your guests will ever have, I am SERIOUS! Our tasting was one of the most fun experiences and we could not get over how amazing the food was. Our guests agreed and we probably had over 15 people tell us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. While La V was not a cheap or even middle of the road option, we found that for the luxury and class it offered, it was only slightly more expensive than many other hotels in l Jolla and Coronado but the value was supremely more. They truly did all of the heavy lifting and that was worth its weight in gold. We also really appreciated that they handled our final billing about a week after the wedding so we could enjoy the day of days following. Our night before venue had us close out the day of the event, which was very tacky. La V is just class in every sense of the word. Last call outs; it is a smaller dining room which felt perfect for 110 people (we wanted to room to feel full at less than 150). I don’t think you could comfortably seat much more than that but they do cater to 150. I also REALLY wished the hotel would offer overnight rental of the bridal getting ready suite upon availability. My fiancé and I did not want to stay the night before the wedding and this would’ve been a perfect solution to wake up oceanfront in the bridal suite! Last, the getting ready menus were a little ridiculously priced. For how much we spent to have a wedding there, I was floored to see a carafe of coffee at $125. I think they could be more accommodating when it comes to complimentary tea and coffee when they’re charging $30 for a half sandwich. But then again, this is the wedding industry! Overall, would give anything to relive the day and cannot more recommend La Valencia making your investment worth the while! Thank you for the lifetime memory!

nd helped make the planning process much less stressful. Bobby took the time to understand our vision, and with his expertise, helped turn it into a stunning reality. Bobby helped us plan hotel stays and group outings for our guests using his local recommendations, guided us through every decision at the venue, and ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day. We also used his wisdom to help find the perfect vendors, including our incredible wedding coordinator. The day of our wedding was as spectacular as we could have hoped for, thanks to Bobby’s careful planning and attention to detail. We felt completely at ease knowing that he and the staff at La Valencia were on top of everything. We were especially impressed by Bobby’s organizational skills and his ability to anticipate our needs before we even thought of them! Bobby went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was a beautiful, memorable experience for us and all of our guests. If you're looking for someone who will bring your wedding dreams to life while keeping things stress-free and enjoyable, we wholeheartedly recommend contacting Bobby Fader at La Valencia hotel. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and Bobby & his team provide a personal touch with their service, which was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Bobby for making our special day absolutely perfect! All the best, Matilde & Simon

d unique. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Thank you, La V!

rgeous, and Bobby and the entire staff took excellent care of us and our guests. There are very few locations in Southern California that offer the views, the service, and the quality rooms and villas that La Valencia offers. Our guests had an exceptional time (PRO TIP: for guests who might not be able to afford to stay at La Valencia, the Grande Colonial is just a block away and offers fantastic value for their stays as well!). Overall, it truly was the perfect day—and we’ll be back to stay at the hotel as often as we can to recreate the memories!

. This meant zero stress for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the breathtaking setting, the delicious food, and the stunning decor of the hotel. We highly recommend La Valencia to anyone planning a wedding or special event. A special thank you to Bobby and Dani, who were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their insights, professionalism, and top-notch communication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Thank you again! Nelson and Victoria
