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 fel...
l 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!

Comments:
Cindy made our big day beyond incredible! She was so sweet and helpful with the whole process. We absolutely loved the venue and it was smooth from initial contact to the end of the evening. Thank you for having us!
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!
Any questions?
We had the most amazing experience at the Ultimate Skybox. The day was perfect and we couldn't have dreamed of it going any better. From the sunset during the ceremony to the fire going on the balcony during cocktail hour, every detail was be...
autiful. Ultimate Skybox was the perfect venue to celebrate the best day of our life. We are so thankful!
We are so lucky and grateful to have gotten married at the MOST beautiful venue!!! It wasn't just the breathtaking views that wowed everyone in the room (everyone said best venue they've seen) but it was the way we were treated like a special b...
ride and groom! Amanda truly went above and beyond, answering all emails the same day, giving fabulous suggestions and being there if we needed anything! The entire process was the easiest it can be.. THANK YOU for making our day perfect!
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 A...
ffairs. Rachael was our coordinator for the evening and she made sure the evening was just as we had envisioned. I could write an entire review on how impressed I was with the responsiveness and support from Creative Affairs, the team who coordinates your event at the Ultimate Skybox!
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 spectac...
ular 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! O...
ur 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.
Choosing this location was a no brainer. The views are breath taking, the building had plenty of parking and the event was very secure but even more amazing was the staff. All of the guests could not say enough how amazing the venue and staff w...
as!! 90% of guest said it was one of the most elegant and beautiful weddings they have been to. The staff at the skybox truly made it an event to remember!!
I work in the San Diego wedding industry and of all the venue options, the Ultimate Skybox has the best wow factor. My husband and I are so impressed by the view and overall ambience that the Skybox venue provides. Our guests keep messaging us ...
with notes of high praise!
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 th...
e 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.
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. G...
uests 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!
The staff was amazing and venue incredible. They stuck with us through multiple postponements due to the lockdown until we were finally able to have our ceremony. Two months later our guests are still talking about the views of the Padres ga...
me and SD skyline we had that night.
Absolutely gorgeous views and first class management. From the very start we had our questions answered and enjoyed a beautiful night.
This place has the best view in San Diego and the team that works there is incredible. Best wedding ever!!!
A beautiful venue with an extremely helpful team of wedding planners!
I can not say enough about the skybox and Blake. Our day was truly magical and If anything went wrong we had no clue lol Blake took care of everything and we can t thank her enough. Our day was absolute perfection!
This venue. Holy crap. It was gorgeous and our family and friends are still talking about it now six month after our wedding. The staff was amazing and helpful and it really made our wedding a truly magical event.
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!
We would highly recommend booking Ultimate Skybox with Creative Affairs for your next event! The space is so unique and fit our modern aesthetic perfectly. Our wedding was magical, and our guests were thoroughly impressed with the space. Creati...

We couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out thanks to the Skybox staff, their partners, and Creative Affairs Coordination. We had the best time. You literally can't beat this downtown San Diego view. It blew our guests away! P...
arking is easy and convenient and there are great hotels within walking distance. Would 100% recommend!
This venue was actually the coolest venue I have ever been to. Everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we started talking to Amanda all the way through our entire wedding. The views are absolutely amazing whether there is a Padre gam...
e going on or not. I would recommend 10/10. Everyone we dealt with was so awesome and helpful. They helped everything run as smoothly as possible. The day was perfect!!
This is such a unique venue and has the most AMAZING views. We had the best day ever and Amanda and her staff were the best to work with. I would highly recommend the Ultimate Sky Box to anyone!!
The professionalism of the staff for this venue are amazing. Prompt and courteous and willing to answer all questions. Never rushed. The space itself is stunning. The room really needs very little decoration and the area is bright and open. I l...
ove that so many things are included in the price that you would pay extra for at other venues. Perfect spot.
This venue has extraordinary views for an amazing value. Amanda has been a delight to work with and I am so lucky to have found this gem!
The Ultimate Skybox is seriously the best wedding venue- we cannot recommend it enough. Our guests are still talking about what a great wedding it was. It's so modern and stylish, and the views are amazing. Such a cool setting/backdrop for phot...
os. Everyone at Creative Affairs is great- very responsive and easy to work with. Julia was our coordinator, and she was fantastic- she really made us feel at ease because she was so on top of everything.
Response from the Vendor on 03/31/2020
Thank you so much Caitlin! We hope all is well with you.
5 stars all around. Us and our guests could not be happier. Everything went as planned and we did not incur any issues. Thank you to Amber, Stef, and the whole team for a priceless and memorable experience that we will never forget. Greatly app...
reciate the efforts and attention to detail.
For anyone looking for a memorable event with a lot of vendor flexibility, this is your spot. Great team, outstanding service, awesome amenities, and epic views!
Overall a dream venue!
We had an incredible wedding at the Ultimate Skybox. We can't thank Creative Affairs (especially Lisa) enough for the hard work and dedication towards our special day. Everything from the view, to the elegant atmosphere, and amazing staff and v...
endors was perfect. Thank you!
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 happ...
y 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 most magical day and venue of our lives. All of our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful this venue was. Everything ran perfectly and it is extremely well-priced. Highly recommend!
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 p...
ersonalities 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 bette...
r 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.
We recently held our wedding at The Ultimate Skybox and it was absolutely amazing! The venue exceeded our expectations in every way. The space was perfect and the views spectacular. All of our guests were completely blown away. This is the ...
place to go for a unique wedding experience that no one who attends will ever 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.
Norma K.
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 (thro...

e perfect place for a wedding because it had different areas for whether you like to hang out outside, lounge, dance or sit at a table. I couldn't have chosen a better place and can't wait to have another event there! Having this venue tied with Creative Affairs, who game me the top vendors for literally EVERYTHING (even dog sitting) made it so much easier to plan our wedding. THANK YOU!
The Ultimate Skybox is the ideal modern venue with city and bay views that are overwhelming when you first arrive. You can easily dress up or dress down the venue to meet your event expectations and budget. We had both our wedding ceremony and ...
reception here and everything went so smoothly that we couldn't ask for a more perfect day!
Now for Creative Affairs...we absolutely loved having Rachael as our site coordinator! From the beginning she has been personable, professional and very responsive. She made our planning process and wedding flawless from providing advice to handling guests that showed up unexpectedly. All of our family loved Rachael too - she always went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect! She's truly a diamond in the rough - very detailed, organized, caring and you can tell she loves what she does! Her energy is contagious and if we ever have an event in the future, Creative Affairs will be the first we'd contact - and specifically request Rachael!
Perfect venue for April 2018 wedding. Rachael, our coordinator, was extremely flexible and knowledgeable about various floor plans to fit our big party! She was very accommodating, responsive, organized, and coordinated our vendors very effici...

very one of our guest kept telling us how amazing this venue was as well as the staff that helped coordinate it. We owe an amazing thanks you to our amazing wedding planner Stefanie Muse she was on top of everything. I never worried about a thing cause she had everything under control and that is how every bride should feel on her special day. We are so happy and would highly recommend both Creative Affairs Inc., and The Ultimate skybox to any one looking for wedding ideas.
Wow! I am thrilled to have had the chance to get married at the Skybox! Everyone on the team was thorough, clear, professional, helpful, and friendly as we prepared for the big day. My planner Rachael did a great job of accommodating a few ad...
justments I requested from the typical ceremony. I think my favorite part was how much our guests loved the venue - their eyes when we all first walked in for the rehearsal let me know that all our guests were going to love the event! The network of professionals that Creative Affairs recommended were all helpful and dependable as well. I feel so grateful to have had this experience at the Skybox!
LOVED the skybox. We has our reception their and it was the perfect location for our party. As we had lots of family and friends from out of town, we wanted a place that could show off san diego and the Skybox did not disappoint. Everyone loved...
the venue and of course had dozens of opportunities for social media worthy photo ops. As for our event, we had about 100 guests, a live band, and a moving reception with catering stations. THe space never felt crowded and accommodated all our requests very well. My reception was amazing and exactly as I wanted it and the Ultimate Skybox played a large part in making it one of the best nights of my life.
What an amazing place. Creative Affairs created an experience my wife and I will never forget. I was also impressed on how cool, calm and collective the entire management team was throughout the entire process.
The Skybox and the staff at Creative Affairs exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding. We worked with Rachael and we were so lucky to do so! She is so talented in what she does. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking. It is mod...
ern and simple with views of Petco Park, Coronado bridge, and the city. It required little minimalist decorations as the view is a show stopper. There was a baseball game that night which ended with fire works and a laser show. It was the perfect entertainment for everyone. I can't recommend the venue and Creative Affairs enough!
The Ultimate Skybox is THE perfect place to have your event!! It will give your guests a taste of what makes San Diego beautiful - the scenery! Its a view that can't be beaten in any part of the county. Our wedding guests could not stop raving...
about how beautiful everything was, not to mention the space in itself! Minimal decor, indoor/outdoor, and plenty of room. We had a station party reception and it went off without a hitch. Rachael from Creative Affairs was an AMAZING coordinator and did everything we asked for. She is probably one of the most competent people I encountered in all of my wedding planning. I trusted her to execute my vision and she did. The staff at Creative Affairs is responsive, professional, and really knows what they're doing. Thank you Amanda, Rachael, and team for creating the PERFECT night for our wedding at the Skybox. We will never forget it. <3
The moment we walked into the Ultimate Skybox we knew we had to have our wedding there. The inside of the venue if beautiful, but you cannot beat the outside views overlooking the Coronado Bridge and Petco Park. All of our guests loved the ven...
ue and still talk about the Ultimate Skybox 5 months later. The venue definitely played a big part in making our wedding so memorable. Our coordinator was Jessica and she was nothing, but amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. We would recommend her and the Ultimate Skybox in a heartbeat!
Our evening wedding at the Ultimate Skybox was June 16, 2018. We had about 125 guests and they were amazed by the downtown views, and the indoor/outdoor shared space. The views were spectacular and we've noticed many of our guests used their ph...
otos on the patio as their new profile pictures. Jessica at Creative Affairs helped coordinate all of our vendors and attend to the details. The caterers liked that there was a full kitchen so they could finish food onsite, and the bar was move in ready for our bartenders. The DJ said it is his new favorite spot. We used some of the existing soft seating to go with our rented tables and our ceremony was on the patio with our aisle through the middle of the room - it was just the absolute perfect night in the perfect place. We went down to the grass area behind for a fun photo shoot. Would do it again, exactly the same! Loved this venue.
The experience at the Ultimate Skybox was amazing from start to finish. I’m from Ohio and wanted a venue that you wouldn’t be able to find back home. The views are spectacular no matter where you look. Our guests raved about the views. There’s ...
multiple places guests can mingle other than at the tables. At the front, they had seating area. There’s an outdoor patio with a huge fireplace and seating. I think the fireplace was a guest favorite. I loved the hardwood floors. I was looking for a venue that didn’t have that tacky carpet that clashes with everything (you guys know what I’m talking about). This place was just so elegant. Everyone we dealt with at Creative Affairs did an amazing job. Chauncey was our coordinator and I was in good hands the whole time. Our wedding could not have been more perfect.
I may be a little biased, but my wedding was amazing! The Skybox is an incredible venue, and gave our guests the ultimate downtown San Diego experience. Working with Creative Affairs and Chauncey was amazing. We had so much support leading u...
p to the wedding and the work and effort put it by Chauncey really made our day truly unforgettable. At no point during our special day did I ever feel overwhelmed or aware of anything that wasn’t planned. For a bride, that was everything I could ask for. The team at the Skybox is truly exceptional.
Not only is the Skybox a truly exceptional venue, but the services offered are beyond amazing.
Skybox was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! It is so beautiful and gives fantastic views of all of downtown as well as the sunset over the horizon. The Creative Affairs staff were so amazing to work with and really made our entire w...
edding day so perfect! They made sure every detail was taken care of and made our day run so smoothly! All of our guests were extremely impressed with the venue, which was exactly what we wanted. I would recommend everyone to have their reception at Skybox!
GREAT venue!!! Our wedding turned out amazing!
Chauncey and her team were amazing from the time we signed our contract to the last dance of the wedding. She helped take away a lot of the wedding planning stress. It is a gorgeous place for a wedding, and it really amazes your guests. WELL WO...

My now husband and I keep saying that we wish we were there when our guests arrived to see their reactions, but everyone expressed how amazing the venue was. Our wedding happened to fall on a Padres game day with fireworks at the end, and everyone thought we bought the fireworks for ourselves!
The Skybox is so unique and beautiful. At the very least, tour this place!!

My wife and I got married in Oct 2016 and had our wedding reception at the Skybox. I would highly recommend Skybox for an elegant/modern/classy reception location! It is a beautiful facility, with gorgeous views of downtown and as far out as ...
the ocean and Coronado bridge. Instead of a DJ we had a live jazz band at the reception (Third Season Jazz) and it was the perfect venue for that type of ambience (the band was definitely 5-star as well!) We worked with Chauncey from Creative Affairs and she was detail-oriented and very attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend!

endors they have worked with over the years to complete your big day. Amanda McPhail, owner of Creative Affairs leads an amazing team to assure that your day is perfect. We were honored to have Chauncey Cannon coordinate our wedding and she blew us away with her kindness, professionalism, charisma, and amazing personality. We love her! Our wedding was on August 11th and guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was from the views of the city, ambiance, food, and music; we all had the time of our lives. We wish we could do it again and change nothing because it was perfect! Thank you Skybox and Creative Affairs for everything! We are forever grateful to you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
When my fiancé and I walked through the skybox we know it was the right wedding venue for us! Not only was the view breathtaking, but planning a wedding there was easy and simple with the help of Chauncey Cannon at Creative Affairs. Her level ...
of professionalism and commitment shines through in her work. Needless to say, our wedding day was perfect, and I recommend both Creative Affairs and the Skybox to any couple looking to plan an unforgettable wedding! We had a modern reception with a space just perfect for 200 people. We were able to fit in plenty of stations, a gelato bar, with plenty of space for dancing, etc. and decorate the space to our liking. Our guests swooned over the view the entire time.
We wanted a breathtaking and amazing space for our wedding reception and we definitely got that with The Ultimate Skybox. This place is amazing from the views, the creative affairs staff, the building, just everything is amazing. We recieve so ...
many compliments on our wedding and how amazing the space was. It was the perfect vibe and views for a downtown wedding. You will definitely have an amazing wedding and you can't go wrong booking this venue for your reception!
Creative Affairs Inc. has blown us away from the beginning. My family is fortunate enough to have collaborated with them for two weddings. After seeing what they could do at my sister's wedding two years prior, I knew with out a doubt, I would ...
be working with them. Stefanie is truly a fairy godmother to us. Things were handled before you even realized they need to be handled. They are responsive, professional and up for anything. We decided to do a destination wedding and Stef was there for us every step of the way. She was able to find us the most amazing vendors in a place we didn't know much about. She was always accommodating and made us feel comfortable. She guided us in decision making so that we could ultimately have the day/weekend of our dreams. We've been told by ALL of our guests that it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended and we know that this would have never happened with out the help of Creative Affairs Inc.
Our guests are still raving about our reception venue. It's fun, relaxed, can't beat the view!!!
Well.. What can I say!!! This place is FABULOUS! I had my wedding there on 4/22/2017 and it was pretty much perfect. The venue was perfect and beautiful. Rachel @ the skybox made planning and my entire wedding planning experience so perfectly w...

Best venue in San Diego! The views of Coronado, Petco and the San Diego skyline are spectacular. Skybox is particularly magical at night. All of our guests raved about the view and it really created the ultimate wedding reception experience!

The Creative Affairs team that coordinates events for Skybox is fantastic! We first met Amanda who showed us the venue and we were impressed by how down to earth she was as well as detail-oriented and organized! We knew our wedding reception would be in good hands with Creative Affairs. Jessica was the coordinator who was assigned to our wedding and she was also fantastic to work with! I'm a Type A personality and had lots of random questions leading up to the wedding and Jessica always responded to my e-mails quickly. I really trusted her advice when it came to the layout, logistics, timeline, etc...She is so sweet too! Our reception was perfect! Thanks, Creative Affairs!

Response from the Vendor on 04/28/2017
Thank you for the wonderful review. We hope to work with you again soon!
We had the best experience having our wedding here on April 2, 2017. This was actually the first venue at which we looked, and the only reason we didn't sign on right away was me saying "we cant go with the first place we see." But we found our...
selves comparing every other space to this one, and we called them soon after to reserve the date. Everyone at Creative Affairs (which manages events at the venue) was fabulous and so willing to work with us at every twist and turn. Whenever we had a question or issue, the crew was willing to accommodate and make it work. And when the big day came, everyone commented on how beautiful the space is and what a wonderful event it was. We were grateful for the flexibility to bring in our own vendors, but that they had a list of preferred vendors. We ended up going with some of their preferred vendors and we were so glad they were familiar with the site, it made things so much easier. Overall, it was a magical experience and a perfect day.
My husband and I grew up in California but spent a lot of time living in NY and D.C. For our venue we wanted a location that was a good combination of west and east coast. The Skybox fit that perfectly, it had a laid back vibe with the views o...
f the Coronado Bridge and Petco park and a patio that had a great lounge feel. Since our wedding was going to be small we wanted to make sure the venue worked with our wedding size of 50--60 people. The Ultimate Skybox worked out great and all of our guests said it was one of the best venues they had been to. The venue along with the Creative Affairs team helped us have a perfect wedding in December.
We don't even know where to begin!! From the very moment we stepped into the venue, we knew it was the perfect reception space for our wedding and to show off this beautiful city. Rachael, from Creative Affairs, was our coordinator throughout t...
he entire process, making sure vendors, time lines, little details and the like were all in order. Creative Affairs services came with the venue and they were so great about letting us coming back to see the venue with other vendors or family when we needed to along the planning stages. Rachael even called the night before to check in and see if I needed anything, and greeted us on our wedding night with our signature drinks upon entering. Her calm nature and confidence was certainly a plus! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her, and the rest of our vendors through Skybox. It was truly a dream team and we are happy to say that literally everything was just perfect! Everything from decor, timing, seating, set up...it was all just spot on! Thank you again for all your hard work and for making our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives. <3 S + A
September 3rd was unquestionably the very best day of our lives. From my first inquiry, our experience was so very professional but what happened in the 9-months that followed was truly remarkable. We visited the venue (sometimes announced, oth...
er times unannounced) on multiple occasions, always with a warm reception. Sarah Finley (our assigned coordinator) became a very trusted resource and virtually a member of our family since being assigned to our "team". Although throughout the entire process she was available to us, even meeting in-person early on, the final 3-months were incredible. We had no idea what we were doing and she guided us, reassured us, and supported us in each way we needed. On the day of, she made us and our families feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. Countless people commented on her amazing attitude, attentiveness, responsibility, and calm demeanor throughout the entire evening - there are few words to describe how much we appreciate Sarah, the breathtaking Ultimate Skybox, and the memories we created.
You think it's beautiful from the pictures - but I promise you will be even more blown away by visiting in-person! It was the perfect place for our wedding and once we saw the place, nothing else compared. It is modern and gorgeous. Not to ment...
ion, they provide you with a day-of coordinator! We worked with Rachael, who was amazing; I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. Everyone at our wedding was completed awed by the Skybox. Let's be honest, it's a pretty obvious choice!
Planning a wedding is stressful enough as it is. Planning a wedding in an unfamiliar location across the country introduces a whole new level of challenges. Choosing the Ultimate Skybox and having Creative Affairs was the absolute best decisi...
on. Rachael was the coordinator assigned to us and we could not have been more pleased. She brought so much experience. She is very well connected with the community and the vendors. Her attention to detail was second to none. To top it off, she is such a pleasure to work with. It felt as if she was completely dedicated to our event for the 2 months leading up to the big day. The venue speaks for itself – it is impressive! Your guests will undoubtedly enjoy the view of the San Diego Skyline. Our wedding was classy; it was beautiful, and so much fun. Thank you Rachael and Creative Affairs!
As mother of the bride I couldn't have been happier that my daughter and her fiancé chose the Skybox. What an amazing venue for an afternoon ceremony and evening reception. The ease of working with the staff was a pleasure, especially Sarah...
who was fantastic. She made sure to keep me in the loop on all the emails and met with me and our decor person and caterer several times. We asked for a set up that had not been done before and they were so easy to work with and accommodated us at every turn. I'm still getting calls from guests telling me what a wonderful venue and wedding. Thank you Skybox and Sarah Finley!!
My husband and I got married here on April 22, 2016 and it was the most perfect day and night. Sarah Finley from Creative Affairs was a pleaser to work with and was soo on top of it . Even in my "Bridezilla" moments, she kept her calm and look...
ing back, I could not have asked for a better wedding day and event.
We had both the ceremony and wedding at the venue. While logistically this made the most sense for our guests, it did take quite a bit of planning to pull off both events under one roof, but the room transition was handled seamlessly while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour.
The Ultimate Skybox is an absolutely stunning venue with amazing views, floor to ceiling windows and a huge patio. I really liked how everyone was close by which made for a very fun and intimate wedding.
We definitely were trying to stick to a strict budget and felt like I was not compromising on anything with my wedding at this venue. I was able to pull off the wedding of my dreams all with in my limited budget.
This is a spectacular venue for a wedding, not only because of the tremendous view, but the services of Sarah Finley from Creative Affairs was above and beyond what I could ever have expected. She worked seamlessly with my florist, caterer (Aut...
hentic Flavors -Joy is awesome!) and our band. We threw together a surprise wedding in 2 weeks and Sarah and her team kept me and my husband smiling the whole time. It was a complete success and I will definetely book the venue again!
VIEW: Getting married? Do yourself a favor and just come check it out. The view is the best in San Diego, and it's a great way to wow guests right away.
SPACE: The room itself is great, if a little board-roomish. To compensate for this, we hir...
ed a furniture company to come bring quirky funky chairs and couches, which more than compensated for it. Made it all a really great experience.
SERVICE: With the rental comes a day-of coordinator, assigned 3 months before the wedding itself. Ours was a charming young woman named Chauncey, who worked with us every step of the way, holding us to a checklist, asking us questions we didn't even know we needed to answer, and basically guiding us through the entire thing.
We cannot say enough nice things about Chauncey, personally or professionally. I have no idea what kind of experience it would've been without her, and I shudder to even consider it. So much of the ease and flow of the entire day was because she was back there running the thing from start to finish. Couldn't have been better.
I wanted to give a big special thanks to the Creative Affairs Team. Ever since the very beginning, I received such a warm welcome from the staff that I have met. As a new bride to be, and with my husband overseas serving our country, I felt so ...
overwhelmed having to plan a wedding on my own. However, Chauncey and Rachael helped walk me through every step of the way through the planning process of a wedding. They were comforting, professional and an expert in their trade. As I toured the Ultimate Sky Box, I knew that this was where I wanted my wedding to be. It was perfect and I knew my fiance would love it just the same. On the day of the wedding, I was a frantic bride. I was apprehensive with the thought that something could go wrong. They assured me that everything would be fine and as I entered the venue, it took my breath away. It was absolutely gorgeous! Chauncey did such a great job taking charge as our coordinator. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding and it would not have been possible without the Creative Affairs Team!
The Ultimate Skybox was a perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. It is so versatile, and Chauncey and Pili from Creative Affairs were so helpful on our wedding day and throughout the planning process. I would recommend this venue...
to anyone having a party. It is such a happy and beautiful place.
Could not have asked for a better experience with Creative Affairs at the Skybox! I plan events for my work, and am pretty particular about how things run; I never thought I would feel comfortable handing control of my wedding over to someone ...
else! But after meeting with Chauncey, I knew she'd caught my vision immediately, and I felt totally at ease letting her and her team take over. I can honestly say that my wedding day was 100% stress-free because of their work! After the wedding was over, I heard about a couple of potential big issues that could have derailed the whole party--a couple of guests drinking too much can ruin things quickly---but the fact that I had zero sense of any potential issues the night of is a true testament to Creative Affairs. They handled everything so professionally and quickly that no one had any idea!
Cannot speak highly enough about Creative Affairs and their team. I wish we could do it all over again!!
We had our wedding at the Ultimate Skybox and there could not have been a better venue for us! This venue is by far the most gorgeous and modern space for a wedding. When we entered it for the first time I knew we wanted to get married here. ...
I can say I was pretty devastated that it was forecasted to pour the day of our wedding and we had to move the ceremony inside. However, to my surprise I actually think it was even better inside! The rain turned out to only be a light sprinkle for about a half hour and Rachael our amazing coordinator left the doors open afterwards so our guests could enjoy the patio. Our guests have raved about the view and with it being cold, I think everyone enjoyed being able to stay inside and venture out when they wanted to. I am so grateful our big day was better than perfect and I would recommend the Ultimate Skybox and Creative Affairs to anyone!
We love San Diego and the Ultimate Skybox is a perfect wedding ceremony and reception venue in this city! Beautiful atmosphere and fantastic views of downtown San Diego. This venue is no comparison to hotel ballrooms. We traveled from Northern ...

ox includes a coordinator, and I could not be more thankful for ours! Chauncey was amazing for the whole year of planning, keeping us on schedule and reminding us of everything that needed to be done, while making great suggestions and working with all of our vendors. I don't know what I would have done without her on the wedding day - she did everything from making sure the day ran smoothly to helping bustle my dress!
This space would probably be difficult to host a large reception in, but ours was small and we did stations rather than a formal plated dinner. It is perfect for that kind of set up. We had such a wonderful wedding, and we are so glad we had it at this venue!
I love the ultimate skybox and I am so thankful we were able to have our wedding reception in this one of a kind venue. My guests were blown away by the spectacular views and outdoor space. We are still getting compliments from guests on how th...
ey had never been to a wedding like it. The Creative Affairs team helped make the event seamless-I got to enjoy my guests and dance because I knew they took care of every detail from set up to break down. Chauncey was a huge lifesaver in keeping me focused while planning. They have a wonderful vendor list with top notch professionals. I was so happy with how everything went that day, book it before someone else does!

his by far was the best! Thanks Skybox for making the day perfect!!!!
Where to begin, for starters my amazing wedding held place at the ultimate SKYBOX on June 13th, 2015 and I had the pleasure of working with Pilialoha throughout the entire planning process! My fiancé at the time and I met with her to have a tou...
r of the venue and we instantly fell in love with the location. We gave Pili an idea of what we were looking for and she soon turned our dream in to a reality! She gave us lists of different vendors that could assist us in planning our wedding, which also did an excellent job! Throughout my wedding planning Pili would answer all my questions promptly and was very flexible, Pili truly made my experience amazing and helped me very much seeing that I was concurrently in school as well. As for the wedding day, Jessica was my go to person, and let me say she really impressed my husband and I! Our glasses were always full, she made sure that we ate and was prompt about handling any situation and making sure that everything was set up perfectly! My husband and I really did feel great that day and we have Pili and Jessica to thank for that! Our guests were raving about the venue, the service and the atmosphere! The view at the Sky Box is spectacular and would HIGHLY recommend the venue and Creative affairs! In having this location for our wedding we were also lucky enough to enjoy the watching the Padres beat the Dodgers, and to conclude the game and reception we were showered with FIREWORKS!!!! To me, my wedding truly was a fairy tale!
Thank You ladies at Creative Affairs/The Ultimate Sky Box!!!
Amanda and the entire Creative Affairs team made our wedding at the Diamond View Tower perfect! The amount of support and effort they put into our wedding not only gave me piece of mind, but took so much stress off me so that I could focus on m...
y new husband and we could enjoy our wedding together.
From our first meeting, Amanda was a great source of information on all things wedding. We wanted something very urban with a great city view. So, she helped us coordinate our ceremony at Centennial Park followed by our reception at Diamond View Tower.
Besides doing the expected wedding coordinator tasks (confirming and reviewing contracts, providing references and suggestions for vendors, hosting venue walk thrus...) Amanda took on so many other roles. She was our go to person for wedding etiquette, our task manager when we were too busy with work, and our voice of reason when we were feeling stressed or torn between two vendors.
One of the most memorable things that Amanda did actually took place the day after our wedding. A family friend had lent me the six pence that she wore in her shoe when she married her husband 45 years ago. While at Centennial, the six pence fell out and I thought it was gone forever. Amanda went to the park and helped to look for the six pence. Luckily, they found it, but this shows that even after the ceremony is over, Amanda will be there for her bride and groom in any moment of need.
We could not imagine planning any type of event without the help of the Creative Affairs team!
We absolutely hit the jackpot when we secured a date for our wedding at the Ultimate Skybox at Diamond View Tower. Not only is the view breathtaking and the venue classy and sophisticated with a modern flair, it comes complete with the use of t...
he Creative Affairs event planning team. Again, we hit the jackpot! Pilialoha was our primary contact and she put us in touch with a list of approved vendors. The more we got to talking with her, the more she was able to narrow down the list to vendors that she felt would suit the style of wedding and overall vibe we were looking for. This list of vendors was absolute gold. We weren't hunting people down on the internet and trying to vet them ourselves, only to rely on intuition and gut feelings. Instead, we were given an all-star list of vendors who had frequently done events at the Skybox, and more importantly, had all worked events together in the past.
As our wedding date drew closer, we began to work with Caitlin who was to become our actual day of coordinator. She helped us design an amazing layout which allowed our desire for a moving reception to play out yet still provided enough seating for people to be comfortable should they like to sit. She was an awesome resource who was able to follow up with the vendors as the time drew near and our attention was being drawn to ten-thousand other issues that required our attention. Caitlin's assistance took a huge load off of our shoulders, and set our minds at ease.
The day of the wedding, rain was in the forecast. In the morning it was only a 40% chance, but two hours into the reception, the rain had begun to fall. Caitlin had made the executive decision earlier in the day, while set up was going on to move two of our food stations inside and we are so glad she did. If not for Catilin and her foresight, half of the food would be ruined, we would be left to sort out the mess and make decisions, on a night we were supposed to enjoy. Furthermore, Caitlin was always checking in with my wife and I at the reception. I had forgotten to eat and had just about finished my drink and like a magical genie, up popped Caitlin with a plate of food and a fresh drink to hand me.
I cannot say enough about the beauty of the Skybox or the effectiveness and easy to work with Creative Affairs organization. The night came together with the precision of a Swiss watch. We attribute this to the professionalism of Caitlin and to the vendors who came together and put on the most fantastic wedding and reception I have ever been to. I have heard this same sentiment from many of our guests. Thank you Caitlin and Creative affairs!!!
What a gorgeous venue! We knew we liked it when we saw it (3 months after we booked it) but it was so stunning at night, everyone couldn't stop raving about it! The quality of service and attention to detail were impeccable. We couldn't have be...
en happier with our wedding and how well it flowed. :)
The Ultimate Skybox is an exclusive venue for the Creative Affairs team, so this review will cover both the venue and the coordinators.
First, the venue: This venue occupies the entire top floor (15th floor) of the DiamondView Tower building...
in downtown San Diego, situated just beyond right field of the Padres baseball park (Petco Park). The venue includes an outdoor terrace which overlooks Petco Park, with views of downtown, Point Loma, Coronado & the Pacific Ocean in the background. The venue is quite simply stunning. It's an ideal blend of sophistication and laid back San Diego vibe: not too casual, but not pretentious either. It was perfect! There's a great dance floor area, an ample bar, and even a contemporary outdoor fireplace as well; great for any social gathering. In nice weather, the glass wall leading to the terrace folds completely in, to create a true indoor/outdoor feel. We used this venue on a very busy Padres game night (a Padres/Dodgers game), and even with 40,000+ in attendance, our guests had very few issues with parking or closed streets (there is a 3-level underground parking garage in the building).
As for the coordinators: Pili and Chauncey were absolutely amazing! Both were very thorough, professional, and had a meticulous eye for detail. They were also incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests (which were MANY), and were genuinely pleasant to work with. The only thing we would have liked to change about our big day was the weather (which was completely out of their control of course), but even with impending rain, Chauncey remained wonderfully flexible up to the last moment on letting us decided whether or not to hold our ceremony on the outdoor terrace. We received countless compliments from our guests on the seamlessness and flawless execution of our wedding, which is a glowing testament to the entire staff at Creative Affairs. The value this team provided was truly above and beyond our wildest expectations.
I highly recommend the Ultimate Skybox as an amazing, unique and modern event space. We hired the Ultimate Skybox as our wedding venue. One of the major draws to this venue (other than the AMAZING view) is that it comes with a coordinator to he...
lp with the planning. We had the wonderful Chauncey Cannon as ours and she was absolutely fantastic. Despite the challenges of living on the East Coast and planning a wedding on the West Coast, Chauncey made the whole process easy and fun. Chauncey and the team at Skybox are hugely helpful, providing vendor suggestions, tips and helpful hints to make the planning and day-of smooth and stress-free. The venue itself is breathtaking. We had our ceremony on the balcony, overlooking the ocean, and then transitioned with total ease straight into the reception. The staff were fantastic, and everything went more smoothly than I could have imagined.
I would highly recommend the Ultimate Skybox for any event – especially if you’re planning a modern, fun and low-stress wedding.
We selected the Ultimate Skybox in downtown San Diego for our reception. From the first week of contacting them, they were quick to respond to each of our questions and walk us through each of the many steps needed in preparation for our recept...
ion. Our coordinator, Chauncey, was a blessing and made our reception go very smoothly. Even though we had our wedding ceremony at a separate location, Chauncey was helpful in ensuring that we connected with all of our vendors and pursued the proper permits we needed. She met with us multiple times to help us plan each detail including our floorplan, vendor selection, and suggested additions. Throughout the day of, she made sure that everything was on time and in the right location, and most importantly, made sure that we were fed! Because of her help, we got all of the photos we wanted in the time we had with our photographer.
The views from the 15th floor are amazing and we got many compliments the day of and for weeks after. We would recommend starting the reception before sunset so you can enjoy the transition into night as the sun sets and lights all turn on. You will get some amazing photos with your photographer and it will be guaranteed the high number of selfies your guests will take!
Overall, the Skybox made our reception amazing, and we especially enjoyed all of Chauncey's help and advice. We would highly recommend the venue for your wedding to help reduce the wedding planning stress! Enjoy the views and the great service!
My husband and I got married at the Skybox. It was the most incredible wedding ever! The wedding of the century! We threw out all the traditional wedding trends and made this celebration our own and the Skybox was the perfect venue for that. Th...
e view, the location, the set up, the Skybox has it all!
On top of the venue itself being the best in San Diego for a modern wedding, their staff was incredible. We had exceptional service throughout the planning stages and the day of. Compliments go out to their professionalism, organization and ease of working with everyone involved in the process.
Absolutely beautiful venue! As soon as we saw it we knew we had to have our reception here. Our family and friends were in awe at how stunning this venue was...made for a beautiful setting and great party. You have the view of petco park and do...
wntown...there's nothing better in San Diego if you want to get out of the boring reception hall you can find pretty much anywhere...this place is unique, modern, and elegant!
