My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better venue or group of people to work with. Our wedding day was practically perfect- a real life fairytale. Everything leading up to the wedding was efficient, professional, and the communication with both Daisy and Artemis in particular was clear and concise everytime. I never felt like I was "asking too many" questions. Whenever I had a question, I was able to email or call them both, and I had answers to my questions very quickly. They made the planning very easy for me and everything was executed perfectly on the day of. All of our family and friends complemented the beauty of the venue and (one of the most important things in my opinion) the food! Even after the wedding, I still receive messages about how incredible the food was at the wedding, how beautiful the venue was, and how all of the staff were kind and accommodating. Family and friends also said it was one of the most organized wedding they have attended and I thank everyone at HVL for that. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding or wonderful people to work with to execute my dream day.

I had my wedding in August and still dreaming about our amazing venue and their staff! Daisy was our coordinator and she went above and beyond for us. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and my wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. Food was so delicious and was wowed by the amount of options they had! The venue is absolutely gorgeous as we did our ceremony on the rooftop and reception inside. Highly recommend booking your wedding with Harbor View Loft as we had an amazing experience with them. Again, can't thank the team enough for pulling off a day my husband
and I will never forget.

We loved having our wedding at Harbor View Loft. The staff was so receptive and responsive during the entire planning process. When the day finally came, everything went so smoothly. The staff catered to our needs and allowed us to simply enjoy the day. When it started raining in the morning, the team
quickly moved everything inside without issue. We would highly recommend!

The venue is beautiful, even when simply decorated, like our event was. Our contact person was excellent, as were the rest of the staff. They were responsive, respectful, helpful and good natured. The food was excellent. We opted for a buffet and everything was hot and well prepared. We had a mix of ages, and our grandchildren and young adults enjoyed the patio. I would highly recommend Harbor View Loft!

A beautiful venue! We recently got married at Harbor View Loft and it was perfect! We had the pleasure of working with Daisy throughout the planning process. Daisy was so kind, always so positive and smiling... the right energy you need when planning a wedding. Daisy and her team were wonderful to work with, such great communication and organization. We loved their tasting event, it really helped visualize what our day could look like. On our wedding day, the Harbor View Loft team did an amazing job. Everything was set up beautifully, dinner service was great, and the bartenders were amazing! Our guests absolutely loved the food and drinks! If you're looking for a venue that has it all, Harbor View Loft is the answer!

Harbor View Loft was a great venue to work with! Daisy was super responsive and an answered all my questions in a timely manner. We were supposed to get married outside, at the park - but unfortunately, it poured the morning/afternoon of the ceremony and HVL was able to quickly pivot into a beautiful indoor ceremony and reception. We have received multiple compliments on the food and bar service. Would highly recommend!

I cannot rave enough about our wedding at Harbor View Loft. From start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. Our coordinator was Annalisa, and she was a dream come true. She made an experience that can be overwhelming and stressful seem effortless. All of our questions/phone calls/emails were answered promptly, they were able to work with all of our requests. We fell in love with the venue, the pictures online just can't do it justice. The views and atmosphere of the location are priceless. We had our ceremony on the patio and here isn't really need for too much outdoor decorations because the views alone are an amazing backdrop for the ceremony. The food was AMAZING. We are so unbelievably grateful for a truly perfect wedding day.

FAQs

What wedding package options do you offer?

Choose what fits your style with our San Diego wedding packages. You select buffet, plated, stations, or small plates; we include rehearsal, setup and breakdown windows, exclusive venue time, a day-of coordinator, service staff, linens and chairs, cake service, a champagne toast, and photo access.

Can you accommodate both ceremony and reception at the venue?

Yes, both. Many couples choose the patio for vows, the balcony for cocktails, and dinner inside as harbor lights appear. You keep transportation simple while we handle resets and guest guidance. Layouts are highly configurable, so your aisle, dinner, and dance floor feel just right.

What catering options are available for weddings?

Choose plated elegance, abundant buffets, stations for mingling, or small plates. Our culinary team builds a menu around your tastes with seasonal ingredients and local flavors.

Compared with many wedding venues in San Diego, customization runs deep, and bar programs match your chosen menu.

Yes. Your package includes Chiavari chairs, dining tables, floor-length linens, and napkins in 50+ colors, plus chargers, votive candles, china, flatware, and water glasses.

You get a cohesive look, fewer rentals, and precise counts coordinated with your designer so the floor plan fits perfectly.

How far in advance should we book our wedding date?

Prime dates move quickly at waterfront wedding venues San Diego couples love. Many couples book 12 to 18 months ahead, yet our all-inclusive approach supports shorter timelines. Share your month and guest count in the inquiry form, and we will confirm dates and next steps.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions for wedding guests?

Yes, and with care. We regularly prepare vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-aware dishes. Share guest needs during planning; we provide clear labeling and thoughtful substitutions so the menu stays cohesive. Your guests feel included, and the cuisine still tastes festive and beautifully balanced.

What are your weather contingency plans for outdoor ceremonies?

We create a backup plan during your walkthrough and review it with you. If conditions shift, we transition indoors while preserving design, timeline, and guest comfort. Lighting, drape, and flow are set in advance, so the experience remains elegant, on time, and photo-ready.
