Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Marina Village is a beautiful wedding venue located in sunny San Diego, CA. For couples dreaming of a seaside wedding, this charming waterfront venue is ideally situated in one of San Diego's most desirable locations. Couples can profess their undying love in the warm embrace of Mission Bay’s colorful sunsets, setting the tone for an unforgettable celebration of unity.
Decade upon decade, the venue, only a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean, has served to accommodate guests from across the globe. As its name suggests, the venue operates as a marina for those sea-loving folk to house their boats. Locals spend sunny afternoons lingering on the lush-carpeted gardens, watching yachts come and go like the tides. The venue celebrates the joys of life and the coming together of souls.
The venue is sprinkled with beautiful trees that offer some shaded respite from the Southern-Californian sun while the marina is littered with sea-faring vessels. Pergolas covered in bougainvillea plants line the pathways, creating scenes of a floral dream. The al fresco setting gives you room to breathe and drink in those important moments you don’t ever want to forget on your big day. Wood-framed buildings protrude over edges of the marina and the Tuscan-inspired architecture sets the scene for a magical event.
The north and south lawn are picturesque outdoor event spaces that can facilitate your wedding day ceremony for which they provide chairs and an altar. Weddings of all kinds are welcomed and celebrated here. With several flexible banquet hall locations, each distinguished in its own way, from vaulted ceilings to crystal chandeliers, couples can get creative with their layouts. The venue is available to host non-religious, religious, and interfaith ceremonies. Dressing rooms will be assigned to wedding parties so that couples and their entourages can prepare for the festivities in comfort. Their excellent and professional service staff aims to make your special occasion a memory never to forget. With rental and equipment services, couples have all of the tools to create a wedding space they have always dreamed of.

While the spaces are beautiful to rent and very affordable, the customer service wasn’t as great as it could’ve been. On the day of the event, we arrived to see the room wasn’t cleaned well or set up correctly. One of the conference center associates was a bit rude to my mother and instead of getting up and helping assess the problem she sat there and insisted that she didn’t have the form we had for setup, yet we told her it was the same layout, my mom’s copy was numbered and colored for my set up team. She had a bit of a cold attitude after receiving news from my mom about the room and didn’t even attempt to resolve the situation. It’s a good thing my family is flexible to adjust to the circumstances.
After reviewing my contract it did mention that staff were going to set up an hour to two hours before the event, so we understood why things weren’t correctly placed right away. The problem we had was that when the time period for them to set up came, they didn’t even come back and clean or setup, they just gave us the tablecloths we rented and disappeared. My family cleaned the room and left the room cleaner than it was received. This place is really beautiful but the upkeep of the facilities could be a bit better and service could be better overall. Staff communication should be corrected as well, as the security kept telling my coordinators and guests to leave without sweeping, leave trash, and just take our personal stuff out, when the contract for renting the reception room clearly says to not leave any decorations or trash to avoid additional cleaning fees. We’re thankful our event still went beautifully, I know everyone’s experiences are different, and by no means are we perfect, but to help others inquiring here I wish I would’ve know some of these things beforehand.

Loved the venue site, And the staff was quick to communicate!!! For the cost of the site, this worked out just perfectly for our small wedding. One thing to note: It really is à la cart, So a simple wedding with chairs and an arch is perfect. But make sure you have sound or extra help to set up your day! I thankfully had a ton of girlfriends and guy friends that jumped in to run the sound, set up decorations and clean up in the end!
The actual site of the grass and the palm trees was perfect though!!! Just what we wanted!!!! 🙌🏽 🥰
Any questions?

This was such a great venue for any wedding. There are so many options for all size weddings and someone on the grounds to decorate if needed. We were given a great vendor list and the staff was very great with communication. We were able to have our ceremony and reception at the same location and that was perfect. I definitely recommend Marina Village for any kind of event.

Loved having my wedding here! It is such a beautiful venue and the prices are not bad! I had my ceremony on the South Lawn. Loved the back drop and all the room on the grass. My reception was in the Bayview Room. Loved that as well. Very rustic and so much room. The view of the boats are amazing. But just know the lights inside the room are not always there. If you want them you need to ask in advance from the vendor who does it!! I almost didn't have them because no one from Marina Village told me in advance!

If your looking for an affordable catering company and wedding venue in the San Diego area, I would highly recommend working with Kim DeHaven at Ranch Events. My wife and I were recently married on the patio of the Seaside Room (~150 guests) at Marina Village on Saturday, August 25, 2018 and our ceremony was in the adjoining space.
Ranch Events exclusively caters the Seaside Room and to be honest, the Marina Village is dated and is in desperate need of renovation. HOWEVER, the staff at Ranch Events, especially Kim were able to execute my vision perfectly. Given that this was a "destination wedding" for ~70% of the guests in attendance, I hosted a number of different activities for my guest to enjoy which include a wine tasting (wine barrels provided by Ranch Events), cigar bar/dessert table (@brilliantreatsemc), Paint n' Sip (@PainNoir), an inflatable Photobooth (@cakephotobooth) and of course open bar. The space was conducive for all of these activities without everyone feeling clustered together.
Cons:
Seaside room is dated
You have to bring your own mixers (cranberry juice, tonic water, soda, etc.)
Pros:
AFFORDABLE - was able to have a wedding on a Saturday for the same cost as having it on a Friday or Sunday
Complementary Wedding Date hold until someone else inquires about your date. If that occurs, then Ranch Events requests a deposit to secure the date.
You can bring your own alcohol (all you pay is ~$350 surcharge which includes liability insurance, glassware, etc)
Lots of free parking and guests can leave their cars overnight if they get too drunk
Catering menu is extensive, affordable ($~26/plate), and very tasty!!!!!
In house bakery and floral department that works with all types of budgets
A plethora of decor to choose from including a gigantic flower wall and farm tables!!!!!

We hired "Toule by Pedro" to decorate the Nautical Room for us. We wanted something simple yet elegant. He did an amazing job and his prices are very reasonable. He had the room decorated in the morning before we got there and we loved it!

The service up to the event was on point. On my wedding day some one launched fireworks near our room (the Sunset room). This resulted in my room being filled with smoke and ending the reception early. All of my guest ran out of the room because of the smoke. Each room was suppose to have a guard to stop this and it states no fireworks on the contract. After the smoke cleared and my reception ended early I had a security guard accuse me and my bride of launching fireworks off. Now it is a week later and I have called four times 2 times I left voicemails and the other two i spoke with April (Tues) and then Trish (Thur), Each claiming they will get back to me after my reception was ruined. They have no problem demanding money but they lied several times. On top of that they haven't even attempted speak with me or my bride about the incident after we spent over $20,000 on our day

The venue itself is nice and the prices are very affordable. However there was little to no help on site during the event. I rented the sunset room and went without power to my dj booth for 2 plus hours. This means that we had no music or sound for my guests when they arrived and it totally killed the mood. By the time we came in from taking photos the guests had been bored so long they were tired and ended up making it an early night. We were so disappointed. When maintenance did arrive their solution was to run a cord through the middle of everything and have my dj share the same outlets as my caterer. After the event I called to complain and ask for a courtesy credit. I felt I paid full price for a room that did not work correctly. They told me it was not there fault and that they were unwilling to make any attempt to rectify the situation. They said just decorator blew the power with led lights and I should talk to them if I have a problem. However the testimony from both my caterer and my dj was that the room should have been about to handle it since it is made for special events and my decorator didn't set up anything crazy. Additionally even if they did blow the power maintenance should have been more helpful and come up with a better solution to the issue. I could not have been more disappointed and felt completely ripped off.

Marina Village is a beautiful place to get married. I worked with Ranch Events and I wouldn't recommend doing it any other way! When you visit Marina Village please visit The Ranch Events office for help! Please ask for Paula as your coordinator and Kim as your florist!
Their help to make your wedding a dream come true is necessary!
Thank you Ranch Events!

We had our wedding reception in the Seaside Room at Marina Village. Our experience with Ranch Events and Rhonda was nothing short from amazing. She was extremely easy to work with, full of great innovative ideas, and very professional. She worked within our budget and made great suggestions to keep costs within our price range. We even got two food tastings, because at our first food tasting we were so stuffed after sampling all of the apps & entrees that we couldn’t decide on the cake flavor. So we scheduled a second cake tasting and Rhonda provided us with an unexpected entrée tasting as well. The food was even better at the reception than at the first and second tastings. At the tastings I wasn’t impressed with the asparagus, but at the reception they were steamed perfectly. Honestly, my guests raved about the food and cake. They are still talking about it! Rhonda suggested a creative, unique & cost effective touch to our table centerpieces, they were cake centerpieces and they turned out equally beautiful as delicious. She was able to find a specific type of rose to top the cake centerpieces in order to match the bouquets. Also there were a couple extra bonuses: RE served chocolate & strawberries with our cheese station, gummy bears & several candy toppings at the ice cream sundae bar and RE even supplied large decorative, blue light-up globes throughout the reception venue. The Seaside Room has comfortable & charming vibe and truly everything surpassed my expectations. Thank you everyone at RE, Rhonda, kitchen staff, wait staff, bartenders, decorating team and set-up/clean-up crew! The service was outstanding and the venue was decorated perfect! (If you have a special request, then just ask you’ll be surprised how accommodating RE/Rhonda can be.) Thank you for creating our best day ever!!!

We had our ceremony on the South Lawn at Marina Village. Marina Village is a beautiful location, and has the perfect backdrop for a wedding! We also had our reception at Marina Village, which was in the Seaside Room. It is worth noting however that the Seaside room is leased and run by Ranch Events. If you book this room you will have to use Ranch Events for catering. For us this was perfect because we wanted to use them initially anyway. The grounds at Marina Village are beautiful. The only drawback to this location is that it is very popular for weddings, for good reason too! There were 2-3 additional weddings there the same day as ours. The prices are pretty reasonable. If you want to make a change to your room type or date however they are somewhat inflexible.

We used the Bayview room for our wedding reception! It was beautiful! Everyone who came loved it! The only downside to this room is there is no place to keep drinks cold. We had to bring in a bunch of coolers and ice to keep things cold. The staff are great and easy to work with. Pedro does lighting and is awesome! You have to use him if you book this place!

I chose the Marina Village for their atmosphere and also because they allow you to have whatever vendor you choose. What I didn't like is that they didn't advise me that the vendors needed proof of liability insurance until I paid them. It was no where in the contract and they are aware that it isn't. This was upsetting because a lot of brides either don't know or are not thinking of this and to tell me after I've paid without giving me a chance to ask my vendors if they have it was a big let down and lack of customer service. On top of that, many of the vendors I used worked there before and were never asked for it and when I asked them about it, they had no real answer. Outside of that, the place was beautiful enough to forget that hick-up.

The wedding was a success, thanks to our family and friends who helped. The location is beautiful, but the staff here at Marina Village weren't so successful. They were very disorganized. I had talked with a consultant there many times via email and phone about the details. I had ordered enough white table cloths for a cake table, gift table, buffet table, and all the other tables that are there to be used in a ceremony & reception. I only got 11 table cloths which was not enough for all my tables. I ordered the white wooden chairs for the reception and ceremony and I ended up with chairs that have cloth on them and was told we were going to be charged for the upgrade even though I specifically told them I wanted the white wooden chairs and more than 11 white table cloths. Then, a few months before the wedding, I wanted the Marine Room instead of the Dockside Room. I was told it was available for upgrade that day and would be $100.00 extra, which I was fine with. My mom went by the office to put the deposit down for the Marine Room and found out we couldn't have that room on that day because it was already reserved. The consultant I was working with the whole time "forgot" to book that other couple's wedding for that room for that day.

This was the second venue that my husband and I had looked at and we absolutely fell in love with Marina Village. Being on an extreme budget and paying for everything ourselves, we wanted a place that allowed us the flexibility to have our own caterer, bartender and decorate how we wanted without having a wedding coordinator. They was very reasonable priced for the location and our wedding turned out awesome! We could not have asked for a more perfect day.

We rented the Bayview Room at Marina Village for our recent wedding and absolutely loved it! At Marina Village, you rent a room and it comes with tables and chairs. You then bring in your own linens, caterer, drinks, etc. It was so fun putting together my ideal wedding without the constraints of having to use a specific cake vendor, or caterer, or DJ that other venues require of you. As it got closer to the wedding day, Marina Village was very flexible and easy to work with when it came to adding tables and chairs, extending our reception and more.
The room itself was really cool. The Bayview Room is two stories, which gives you extra room upstairs for lounge chairs, a photo booth, or a kid's area. We have over 130 people and there was a ton of room so we didn't feel stuffed in there, but the layout didn't make it feel like you were completely spread out from people either.
We also had our ceremony on one of their lawns, which turned out beautifully as well. Marina Village provided us with a nice arch that our florist decorated, as well as a nice and clean aisle runner.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

We had our wedding ceremony here in November. It was raining the day before, but the day of was gorgeous! We had our ceremony on the north lawn which has the marina in the background. The pictures turned our amazing! The individuals in the office are easy to get ahold of and professional. (We had our reception in the Seaside Room at Marina Village, which is owned by Ranch Catering. This part of our wedding was a nightmare. If you are looking to have your wedding at Marina Village, book a room that is owned by them and NOT Ranch Catering).

When looking for a venue I ultimately chose Marina Village for several reasons including price, location, and parking. Marina Village had lower rates than most places and the views were great, very San Diego. I rented the north lawn and the Sunset Room. Both were excellent and having the ceremony and reception at the same site was great. My only small negative is that I wasnt able to have my rehearsal at the venue due to other weddings the day before mine. While I understand they are a business and if someone wants to rent the lawn they are going to rent to them, it was a little hectic and weird to have my rehearsal at a completely separate site. It would have been nice for the venue to have something in place for this type of situation. The office staff were friendly and always answered all of my questions.

I had my reception at Marina Village June 2013. We originally wanted to do both ceremony and reception but things happened and we ended up getting married before our original date. The customer service was great. We mainly talked to Victoria, she ended up leaving sometime this year before June. She was very helpful and understanding with all our changes throughout the year before our actual date.
We had our reception in the Bayview Room and it was amazing. I like the fact that you are able to do everything yourself with this venue. I do recommend that you either start your set up for the room right at 9am, the earliest you can get in your room, or have family help out decorating. That was my only downfall, I was late to my own reception, but thats my fault.
For the price and location I believe Marina Village is a beautiful place for your ceremony and/or reception

Marina Village is a great place to host a wedding reception. It was very easy to work with the staff at Marina Village. It is a great value and they don't have a pre-set vendor list! My husband and I had attended two wedding receptions here prior to our wedding, we personally would highly recommend the Bayview Room. It has a great view of the Marina, and upstairs balcony, bathrooms inside the room, a bar and a back area for the caterer. While I had wanted the Baja room I am actually really glad we didn't get that room after attending a wedding reception there. It was a really awkward lay out.

This was a perfect venue for us. They offer a great price for a room rental for the reception (many different size rooms to choose from) and two different lawns by the marina for the ceremony. They set up the archway and chairs for the ceremony. The biggest reason we loved Marina Village was because we could bring in all our own resources, catering, bar, etc. Essentially, we were provided with a blank slate to do what ever we wanted. Perfect for a DIY wedding or to create any atmosphere for your perfect day.

The Marina Village is a beautiful little spot in Mission Bay area of San Diego. When you book your ceremony site, and reception hall, you are free to plan and book whoever you want, the way you want, and the best part is... you can shop around for the best deals. I would recommend using their tulle & lights guy, Pedro Hernandez. He does remarkable, beautiful work and does all the set up and clean up for you for a very small fee. We used the South Lawn, and The Marine Room for 120 guests. We paid $1,450.00 for the room and ceremony location, all equiped with tables, chairs and alter - set up to my design by the Marina Village Staff. The staff was nice, and very easy to work with. We were so happy with the way things turned out, and recommend this location for who wants a beautiful, San Diego location, and has a very tight budget. You get a LOT of BANG for your BUCK here! Great place!!

We got married in St. Thomas, but wanted to celebrate with our family & friends back home. With that, we wanted an affordable place where we have the freedom to choose our own vendors and bring in our own things. Marina Village had fit the bill completely and the space was all we were looking for. The view of the ocean to incorporate the water, the convinience of choosing your own caterer and we were even able to practice our surprise 1st dance there.
Some folks may find this place outdated, but for us, it had the right charm. And once all the decorations were in place, it turned the place into something completely different and all that we were hoping for and more.

We would like to give our thanks and appreciation to Marina Village for providing us the perfect venue for both our ceremony (North Lawn) and reception (Sunset Room). Marine Village, you gave us the freedom we were looking for to customize the wedding as we liked. We would love to specifically thank Jennifer Allday for taking the time to go over the details and easing our wedding planning stress. Her suggestions and advice came in handy. Even when we made adjustments to seating setup for both venues she ensured Marina Village accommodated our request. On the day of our wedding everything was set up exactly as we wished and had absolutely no problems with anything. The deposit was returned in a timely manner and all went well. Millions of thanks from us and kudos from both our families. We will recommend Marine Village to anyone looking for a beautiful place to have an event.

We set out originally to have our reception in the Bayview room but had to move our wedding date up due to my mothers terminal illness. We ended up choosing the Capains room because it was cheaper and could accommodate us. Although I will say is make sure you read your contract thoroughly. After some snags we were able to continue with our plans and start on our dream wedding reception. Everything turned out magnificently even though unfortunately my mother passed away 2 weeks before our wedding. She was there in spirit and my new hubby and I felt her presence on our special day.

A beautiful setting for a wedding but kind of a pain...
When we first arrived the room was still dirty from the wedding the previous night, we were supposed to have it at 9am to start decorating but that got pushed back to 10am. When we finally got the room it was not very clean, crumbs on the floor, bar was sticky, etc. so we had to have them come back in.
The ceremony spot was beautiful with the boats in the background and all the trees, all the chairs were set up in time and the ceremony was great.
About 2 hours into the reception the air conditioner went out in the room. It was miserable. The windows surround the room but are not able to be opened. It took my brother, another friend, the best man and my bartender all going down to the management office to finally get it fixed! They kept sending people up to "look at it" but nobody actually did anything until almost an hour later.

This venue is beautiful with an amazing sunset view. They allow you to bring in your own caterer which saves a lot of money. The grounds are so lovely you don't have to do a lot for decorations of the ceremony site, rooms are nice...nothing too fancy but it lets you make it very personal with your own touches. Personnel are nice if a little detached.

We held both our ceremony and our reception at Marina Village. The price is unbeatable but the service wasn't always top notch...depending on who was helping you and the information they provided wasn't consistent. For example, we were told that since we were the last wedding of the day, we didn't need to pick up the flower petals. Then, when it came down to confirming everything 2 weeks before the day, I was told that if we didn't pick them up, we would be charged. When I stated I was told differently, the staff member said "well, would you like a mess left for your wedding?" and she suggested that I bring a rake to clean them up or rent their isle runner. Since I don't have a rake (or an extra one for that matter to bring to my wedding), we rented the runner. THEN on the day of the wedding, they never laid out the runner so my parents had to ask someone to quickly do so...and it was DIRTY! Overall, the wedding was beautiful and we had a perfect day...those are just my couple gripes.

I could not have found a more spectacular setting for my wedding! It was the first and only venue my fiancé and I had looked at. We had our ceremony on the North Lawn and it was so beautiful with the marina in the background, we even saw sea lions playing in the water. We had our reception in the Bayview Room which is by far the nicest room they have there. Windows all around and my guests said they loved watching the sunset. The staff were all very nice and helpful and I loved that they allow you to bring in all your own choice of vendors and there's no extra fee for alcohol whatsoever.
The only reason I didn't give Marina Village 5 stars was because they security guard who was supposed to be patrolling outside the reception wasn't where he was supposed to be and didn't see a homeless man come into my reception, grab a handful out of my wedding cake and walk off. Staff called me a week later and apologized but admitted the guard wasn't doing his job. Besides that, I loved this venue :)

The most amazing wedding venue with an extremely relaxed staff. I accidentally paid a couple of days late and had no trouble.

We got married on the North Lawn and it was set up beautifully. We had cocktail hour in the vineyard room which was a great close please for everyone to hang out while we took picture. And our reception was in the amazing sunset room. The view was amazing and the bar was a great thing. Not only was the venue a great place the provide the chair and tables at no extra charge. They are also one of the only venues that allows out side vendors and allows you to provide your own alcohol, which saves you a lot of money.

First, my husband and I were drawn to this locations because it was affordable and our guests wouldn't have to travel too far. Then as the planning process continued, and we visited the site numerous times, we fell in love with the trees and planned our wedding around them.
The staff is VERY accommodating and super friendly. They answered all my last minute questions very timely.
It was a perfect location to hold our wedding. We also had our reception in the Captain's room, which was huge.
We used Pedro (whom also works at MV) for our decor and it was brilliant!
Thank you MV for helping our wedding be such a success!

The room we rented for our reception (Bayview) was perfect! We also rented a room across from the hall for a bridal changing and storage room. The people in the office were great, super friendly, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated how they called us before we had a payment due just to remind us, I was so busy it's very likely I would have forgotten. Price was wonderful; under $1500 for 5 hours of reception and access to the room starting at 9am. Overall a FANTASTIC experience.

We were looking for a room to rent where we were free to use the vendors we wanted and supply our own liquor. We ended up using the Baja room at Marina Village. Large room and for a decent price. CONS: no kitchen area or wash area for food/dishes.

We had our wedding reception in Marina Village's Seaside Room, which is actually owned by Ranch Events. While the Seaside Room does lock you into using Ranch as your caterer, their food is so good that it's actually a plus! The view is amazing, and the room can hold up to 600 people. The large windows offer gorgeous light during the day and give the room a sort of golden glow at sunset. There is ample parking, and it is very easy for guests to find. I would highly recommend the Seaside Room as a reception location.

Marina Village was amazing. I could not believe their prices compared to other venues with less options. We had our ceremony on the South Lawn, and our reception in the Bayview Room. The Bayview was the exact room I was looking for; it's beautiful with little need for decoration. I'd recommend it to any bride on a budget

It was awesome. The Sunset room was beautiful and great for the money. The ceremony was on the North lawn. It was a beautiful back drop. I would recommend this as an all in one venue.
