Our experience at the Ultimate Skybox was nothing short of spectacular. We were on a tight budget and an even tighter timeline for our destination wedding and Amanda, Rachael, and especially Cindy (who was also our wedding planner) absolutely delivered. The views were incredible, the vendors Cindy recommended were top-notch, and the pricing was very accommodating to our needs. We enthusiastically recommend this venue to anyone looking to host their wedding or large event in style!

This venue is the ultimate wow factor! A truly unique venue filled with friendly, resourceful and responsive people. Our entire experience from start to finish was a breeze. They operate like a well oiled machine and I didn’t have a care in the world on my wedding day. Highly recommend having your wedding on a Padres game day. The location in downtown is prime. The streets are closed off for the game. After the wedding we went to the street to take photos and everyone was congratulating us and being so friendly. Lots of photo opportunities down there (and the balcony photo ops on the roof are spectacular).

We stumbled upon this hidden gem of a wedding venue, and I'm so glad we did! Initially, we weren't sold on the idea of hosting our special day here, but after visiting in person, we were blown away. The pictures truly don't do it justice - the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the one.
The team was an absolute pleasure to work with, making communication seamless and effortless. Whenever we encountered any issues or concerns, they worked tirelessly with us to find solutions, ensuring our wedding vision came to life.
But what really made our wedding day unforgettable was the breathtaking view of Petco Park, home of the Padres. As luck would have it, there was a game on the same evening, adding an electric atmosphere to our celebration. And when the fireworks lit up the sky after the game, it felt like the universe was conspiring to make our day even more magical.
If you're looking for a venue that will exceed your expectations in every way, look no further. We can't recommend this place enough!

We had our wedding reception at the Ultimate Skybox and couldn't be happier with our decision to book them as our venue. The moment we walked in and saw the amazing views, we knew it was the one. Most of our guests were from out of town and were in complete awe of the space, location and spectacular views. The indoor/outdoor vibe with a fully open wall to the huge patio with fireplace and outdoor furniture blew everyone away and we were out there enjoying it all night. Amanda, Christa and our wedding coordinator Evelyn were absolutely awesome and so easy to work with. They answered all my questions and really made my day a breeze. It truly was a night we and our guest won't forget. THANK YOU!!

We recently held our wedding at The Ultimate Skybox. Of course, the first thing we noticed when visiting the venue was the view. We were sold. Amanda and Christa was very responsive and helpful throughout the process and quickly answered all of our questions. Our guests LOVED the venue and we received a lot of “we have never been to a wedding like this before” comments throughout the night. We chose to do a moving-style reception to take advantage of the space, which allowed our guests to socialize, walk freely, and enjoy the beautiful balcony. We are very happy with our decision. Thanks Skybox team for such a special day!

We ourselves felt like it was the perfect day and both my wife and I agree that it was the best day of our lives.

We got married 2/25/23 at the Ultimate Skybox - we had our ceremony and reception at the Skybox and all the guests were amazed by the views and overall ambiance. Amanda who manages the space was awesome to work with and very responsive to all our questions. The only disappointing thing I encountered was when the management company banned cold sparklers right before our event. Luckily we were able to get reimbursed but honestly, I've never looked back and said my day would have been any more magical than it was.

I just got married at the Ultimate Skybox last weekend and haven't stopped thinking about it for one moment. All the pictures are incredible, don't get me wrong but the photos do NOT do it justice. You walk into the room and the views immediately take your breath away. We got so many compliments from our guests - it's truly one of the most unique venues I've ever been to. It's modern, clean, beautiful and has the BEST views. When we toured the venue, we knew immediately that we had to get married here. It is truly a 10/10 location to get married - could not recommend it enough!

Then a fabulous nightclub vibe during the dancing portion of the reception with the bay and city scape surrounding the dance floor. Parking is great in the building as well. I highly recommend!

We got married last month at Ultimate Skybox and the venue and staff were amazing! From the get go, Amanda with Creative Affairs who manages the space was extremely responsive and helpful. We hired Julia with Events Inspired as our planner and she knocked it out of the park…pun intended;) The venue caught our attention when we saw photos of the beautiful views including the San Diego skyline, bay and Petco Park, especially since my husband is a huge baseball fan. Our guests could not stop raving about the space and views as well. It was so nice having both the indoor and outdoor areas for the whole evening…and thankfully, the weather cooperated! We had about 85 guests, so we opted to have our ceremony indoors so everyone could be seated (the balcony can seat about 60). After the ceremony, our guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside, while our caterer, Toast, flipped the room for our reception. It was seamless! Not to mention Toast’s food and service was phenomenal! Thanks for making our day so perfect Ultimate Skybox!

The perfect venue!! I am a big Padres fan and this place was the perfect way to have our wedding overlooking the ballpark without having to pay tens of thousands to have the wedding in the stadium. We got lucky and there wasn’t a ballpark event on our wedding day, so we also got to utilize the park below the venue for photos. The views of the city and the water from the balcony (the venue is on the 15th floor) are amazing. Our photos came out amazing! The venue is well maintained and had adequate space for the reception, bar, and the ceremony. This was the first place we toured when we started looking for a venue and we cancelled our other venue tours because we loved the skybox so much. Amanda with Creative Affairs was super helpful and responsive. She pointed me in the direction of the right vendors for our type of wedding from the venue’s vendor list, and having a list of vendors you are required to choose from actually made the vendor search easier. I am so happy that I found the Ultimate Skybox as our wedding turned out better than I could have imagined!

We held my son’s welcome party the night before his wedding at the Ultimate Skybox. All the guests were so impressed with the space and view. It was the perfect venue, made even greater with the incredible support of the staff from Creative Affairs. Rachael was our coordinator for the evening and she made sure the evening was just as we had envisioned.

My wife and I recently got married here. The venue is so so amazing. We both are born and raised San Digans. We have been to many weddings here locally but there is no venue that comes close to the ultimate skybox at all. The views are spectacular and it totally reflects who we are being from San Diego. Every single one of our guests were amazed. The staff is awesome, they were so helpful. They set us up with the perfect vendors all we had to do was show up and party. You would have thought we spent a million dollars on our wedding, but it was actually very very sensible. If you are not having your next party or getting married at the ultimate skybox then I promise you that you are missing out on the most amazing time of your life! Thank you so much to the ultimate skybox and its team you made our wedding perfect!

My husband and I selected Skybox as our reception venue. The moment we walked in, we knew it was the one! The modern open space with a built-in bar is beautiful. Then you go outside where there's a fireplace and a view that can NOT be topped! Our guests fell in love with the venue just like we originally had. The staff is equally incredible. Everybody we dealt with was kind and knowledgeable.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Hands down the greatest venue ever and Creative Affairs are hands down the best wedding planners ever. We have absolutely no regrets booking this venue and our guests cannot stop talking about it. From the pictures on the balcony at sunset, to the entertainment of a baseball game 15 floors directly below you, to the beautiful scenery of Coronado Island and DT SD, this venue has something for everyone. So happy we chose this place to have our wedding and we suggest that you at least go see it in person. You will fall in love.

My wife and I got married at the Skybox and its safe to say that the venue was the STAR of our wedding. The photos don’t do the venue justice - the views of downtown San Diego, Petco Park, and Coronado Island are absolutely jaw dropping. We fell in love with it as soon as we visited and so did our guests, as we have received so many compliments on the venue. Stefanie and Amanda were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the process of hosting our wedding at the Skybox painless. We can’t recommend the venue highly enough!

Thank you! Everyone at Creative Affairs was fantastic and truly helped to make our wedding super special. My wife and I are a lesbian couple and I have to admit there's always this hesitation with how will we be treated. There was zero issue. Guests had a great time and loved the venue. The views were spectacular
(overlooking Petco Park and the SD skyline) during the day and night. The Creative Affairs staff was excellent on all fronts: experience, knowledge, professionalism and helpfulness. As a bonus we were able to use existing furniture to reduce the cost of rental furniture.
We can't speak highly enough about our coordinator, Miranda Snow. We are so thankful for all of the coordination she did with the rehearsal to taking care of details with the vendors to handling parking to making sure my wife and I were taken care of at our wedding with food and all of the other multitude of wedding-day-of stuff. She is a superstar and we are truly thankful to her.

We recently held our wedding at the Ultimate Skybox and cannot stop raving about how great of an experience it was!
Some details: We held both our ceremony and reception at the Skybox and comfortably fit 110 people. We had the ceremony inside, then moved guests out to the balcony area for cocktail hour while the inside was flipped for the reception. We ended up with a total of 10 table plus a sweetheart table up front, plus room for a dance floor. We also had a photobooth area and an outside seating area with overhead heaters set up. I was initially worried it might feel crowded, but we had plenty of room to work with.
Booking the Ultimate Skybox was the best decision! First of all WOW the venue is spectacular. The downtown San Diego skyline was stunning. Our guests loved taking pictures on the balcony both during sunset and at night with the entire city lit up. Everyone gasped when the elevator doors opened up to a penthouse view of San Diego.
Second, the coordinators at the Ultimate Skybox were an absolute dream to work with. Amanda helped us secure our date and was so patient and understanding when we had to delay our wedding due to COVID. She responds to emails with lightning speed and was so helpful in all our logistical questions. However, the star of the show was Miranda. The Skybox assigns a day-of coordinator for weddings. Ours was Miranda and I am so, so thankful for her! She was the glue that held things together. She reached out to all our vendors and coordinated both setup and breakdown of the venue, as well as the flip from the ceremony to reception. She made sure everyone got there on time and executed our wedding timeline perfectly. At every step of the way she was there for all our small questions and made it all look effortless! Once we had our vendors all lined up, she took it from there! She made our wedding day stress free, which allowed us to actually enjoy the party. Some of our guests commented that they’d never seen a couple so relaxed. I told them it was because of Miranda!
Third, we loved the flexibility and convenience of the Skybox. It’s right in downtown San Diego and close to all the hotels. That way guests can enjoy themselves without having to worry about driving home. Additionally, the venue is already so beautiful that we didn’t actually need to budget very much for decoration and florals. Lastly, we loved the option to bring your own alcohol. This allowed us to really customize our drink menu and saved a ton of money! We curated a whiskey tasting menu, as well as signature cocktails. Our guests loved it and it helped us really personalize our wedding.
We had such a fantastic experience working with the Ultimate Skybox for our wedding. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Stefanie, Amanda and the rest of the team at Creative Affairs. Planning a wedding can be stressful, takes a ton of time and can feel isolating because while friends and family all may have gone through the planning process, it doesn't always mean they fully understand. I am beyond thankful I had the Creative Affairs team to help me through! They were support arm we never knew we needed. They answered every question we came up with, came up with reasonable and actionable solutions when problems would arise and most importantly, really made us feel heard and understood. Caitlyn, our day of coordinator, was always extremely professional but at the same time every conversation we had was like talking to an old friend.
Thank you Stefanie, Amanda and Caitlyn for making our day, simply the best!

If I could give this location and their staff a million stars, I would. They were fantastic. My husband and I do not live in California so I had flown out to look at a few venues, none of them being the Skybox. I told him I narrowed it down to two. Then right before we both had the opportunity to come out to look at the two I had chosen, we saw the Skybox on the Wedding-Spot and the Knot. My husband said we "HAD" to check it out. I called Amanda and she was the nicest person ever. We booked our appointment and the minute we walked in, my husband said: "This is it". The Skybox is stunning and has some of the best views in San Diego. It is non-traditional and made us feel like we truly had a unique wedding.
Before the wedding, we were introduced to our wedding coordinator, Chauncey. Chauncey is one of the sweetest people! She is so experienced and organized. I'm a little OCD and she was able to handle my expectations, meet them, and go above and beyond them. Both her and Amanda were always willing to speak with me on the phone and answer any questions/concerns I had. They were able to point me in the right direction as far as a caterer goes and give recommendations for all our other vendors.
At the wedding, all our guests expressed how beautiful the venue was. We were told that it was one of the best weddings and that the view from the venue made it. Our guests were extremely happy because everything ran seamlessly. I never had to worry about anything because Chauncey was there t the whole time. She would come up to me about 5 minutes before we had to do the next event (i.e. father-daughter dance, cake cutting, etc.) and ask if Philip (my husband) and I were ready to move on or if we wanted a few more minutes. Honestly, the care and attention she and her staff that day gave were beyond excellent.
Chauncey made sure we ate that day, had a drink in our hands, and were overall happy. The venue is drop-dead gorgeous, but the staff deserves all the praise. I will recommend this place 11 out of 10 times.

The Ultimate Skybox was the most incredible place to have our wedding. The management team was easy to work with, extremely quick to respond and communicate with us and was able to handle any question or request we threw their way. Besides the superlative management, the venue was AMAZING. Our family and friends were all blown away by every aspect of the Ultimate Skybox. The space is big and open, luxurious and modern; and the views are simply spectacular. We had the night of our lives and wish we could live it all over again! Thank you Ultimate Skybox, our venue coordinator Stephanie, and the whole team!

I've had the pleasure of working with the Ultimate Skybox in the past in my profession as a wedding planner. When it came time to plan my 25th wedding anniversary celebration and vow renewal, I wanted to treat my husband (an avid baseball fan) to an amazing experience we could share with our friends and family. Our guests were simply in awe of the iconic views of the city and ball park, and much to our surprise and delight...WE EVEN GOT FIREWORKS! It was an unforgettable evening for all and it was so much fun to see all our guests amazing new profile pics the next day with that amazing view in the background.
Julia from Creative Affairs was amazing to work with and really helped keep my mind at ease and embrace my role as "client" instead of planner! It was such an amazing experience all around and I would gladly recommend them to my future clients and friend! Thank you for providing such a beautiful backdrop for our memories!

We originally used the SkyBox 10 years ago for our rehearsal dinner and this past May we had our 10 year anniversary party there. The venue did not disappoint! From spectacular views, to gorgeous interior, and superb service, we were so so happy we used The Ultimate Skybox again! Julia is a professional, experienced, fabulous person! She helped with planning, layout and coordination of vendors on the day of. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a part there if you are considering them!
I wouldn't hesitate to host our 25 year anniversary there!

The Ultimate Skybox is the most amazing Wedding Venue! We enjoyed our day to the absolute fullest! I am still in awe of how everything turned out. The day was just perfect and wonderful! Katie Rhenberg was amazing! She fit in well with our personalities and kept everything running so smoothly. She truly helped us enjoy our day without having to worry about a thing. The venue is just spectacular. We got so many compliments about the venue and the style of the wedding. Thank you for recommending lounge style wedding. It fit perfectly with us and our guest! It was truly a dream come true!

This is THE GREATEST WEDDING VENUE in San Diego! My husband and I were planning our wedding from NYC, and I never thought planning a wedding could go so smoothly! Firstly, the wedding venue itself is unique and gorgeous. You have a beautiful view of the bay, downtown, and the ballpark. We had our wedding at sunset, and the views were breathtaking. We had about 100 guests with a non-traditional moving style reception, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Guests loved the non-traditional set up, and we couldn't hear enough positive things about the venue! We used multiple vendors recommended by the venue, and every single one of them were absolutely fantastic!
Secondly, Chauncey from Creative Affairs is AMAZING! My husband and I were hesitant about hiring a wedding planning, but it is required through the venue and let me tell you - it was 110% worth it! Planning a wedding is not easy - especially across the country. Chauncey lead the charge, helping us contact vendors, work on our floor plan, and everything else that goes into planning a wedding. Not only did she do everything behind the scenes leading up to the big day, but she also made sure everything on our wedding day went smoothly! She kept us on schedule, and reminded us to take everything in and enjoy our day!
I cannot say enough positive things about The Ultimate Skybox! I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding in SD!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding! We did the moving-style reception following the ceremony, with 120 guests. It was perfect….and Stefanie from Creative Affairs was perfect. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding/event coordinator. I would go back to creative affairs for any other event we may do in the future (and it wouldn’t hurt to host another event at the Ultimate Skybox). They eliminate so many unknowns, have a GREAT list of vendors/suggestions, and are on top of everything.

Spectacular!! Everything about The Ultimate Skybox exceeded our expectations. We booked this venue because the views are phenomenal and as avid baseball fans this venue hit it out of the park. You get the most beautiful view of downtown, Petco Park and Coronado. You can’t go wrong with having your wedding here. The flow of the venue was awesome. Some guests would hang outside by the firepit, some at the bar, and others on the dance floor so no matter where our guests were it felt like everyone was included in the fun. Our guests RAVED about our reception asking how we could have ever found such a cool venue in downtown and after months of having our wedding they still talk about our reception and how awesome it was. The Creative Affairs team was so easy to work with and best of all IT WAS ALL STRESS FREE!! We never once stressed about our reception and how it was going to go. Rachael was so wonderful to work with she really made sure I was at ease with the flow, decorations, set up and schedule that I never turned into a bridezilla... haha. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding at The Ultimate Skybox. Thank you Creative Affairs for all of your hard work in making our wedding a day we will never forget.

JULIA, WEDDING PLANNER FOR THE ULTIMATE SKYBOX, MADE MY DAY (FROM THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE):
Every detail was taken care of to perfection at my daughter and son-in-law's reception. They chose the site and I could not have been more pleased. All I did was show up and have a good time and that I did!.
When I stepped foot in the skybox, it took my breath away. I stopped in my tracks to take it all in. Photo enlargements of the newlyweds greeted us off of the elevator (a must do!!); the table setting was so pleasant and large windows show-cased views of downtown San Diego and beyond. Then I walked onto the balcony and fans were piling into Petco Stadium as the Padres had a game the same night. It could not have been better!
Julia made this experience delightful! I would advise every couple to use the Skybox and to hire Julia!! I live in the Minneapolis, MN area and would have paid more for a venue than I did this in San Diego.

This is THE BEST wedding venue in San Diego! We opted for a moving style wedding reception because we had a large guest count. We were a little nervous about the non-traditional style but it worked perfectly. Rachael from Creative Affairs (through the Skybox) did an amazing job coordinating and was so helpful throughout the planning process. We have received so many compliments from our friends and family that our wedding is the best that they have ever been to!

When searching for a wedding venue we came across the Ultimate Skybox and the beautiful photos do not do this venue justice! It is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in person. The views of Coronado, the bay, and downtown were amazing. We knew as soon we walked in that it was the place for us. It is conveniently located downtown next to a ton of hotels and restaurants which made it ideal for our out of town guests. Julia was a dream to work with and she really helped bring our vision to life. Thank you Skybox for hosting our dream wedding!!!
