We were thrilled with our choice of The La Jolla Women's Club for our daughter's wedding reception in March 2013! Sharlene is such an amazing coordinator! She held an Open House last March 2012 to introduce us to her excellent vendors (caterers, photographers, bar service, lighting etc.)so we could decide which to use. They all were excellent and we are indebted to Sharlene for guiding us through this daunting process. The beautiful, historically designated architecture is what captured our attention. It is a photographer's delight! The gardens and landscaping are breathtaking! The venue is reasonably priced considering we got to use this gorgeous setting. Every detail was addressed as Sharlene worked closely with our wedding planner, Irene Gonzales, to insure our day would be absolutely perfect and it was!

The moment I walked into this breathtakingly pristine place, I knew I was meant to get married here...and I did just a few weeks ago! There is something just so enchanting about this place, as if you've walked into a different time. We had our ceremony in the south garden, which is this gorgeous, cozy nook with looming trees and greenery lit with delicate string lights. It gave such a magical, romantic vibe to our occasion. We loved that we found a venue that could be a one-stop affair for both the ceremony and reception. After the ceremony, there's an amazing terrace where we had a cocktail hour and set-up the bar for the evening. And our guests loved it because they could see the ocean, which is only a block away. The ballroom is the center of the building and has a wonderfully inviting warmth that adds to LJWC's charm. Our guests were all blown away by the beauty of this place.

One of the greatest bonuses of getting married here? Sharlene, the manager of the venue. She is one of the most caring, helpful, patient, informative, and generous people we had the honor of working with during our wedding preparations. To have someone so delightful, professional, and available to assist us in our wedding process is nothing short of a gift. I cannot say enough things about how positive and incredible our experience was and how much she played a part in it. We truly had the wedding of our dreams. I highly recommend this stunning historical venue for your big day.

Sharlene and the staff at La Jolla Woman's Club were beyond accommodating. We loved the venue and how well the staff was organized. Sharlene was a pleasure to work with and made our planning process a breeze. The La Jolla Woman's Club was easy to access for any preparation or event planning by us or our vendors. We would highly recommend this as a one of the best venues in San Diego.

Our wedding was perfect and magical in every single way and it completely exceeded every one of our (very high) expectations. So much of this had to do with the gorgeous venue -- we cannot tell you how many people commented on what a beautiful setting we chose. My father is a major critic when it comes to architecture and venues and he thought that it couldn't have been more perfect and beautiful.

The La Jolla Woman's Club was a perfect place to host a wedding reception. Sharlene was great to work with and always available to offer suggestions and answer questions.

The La Jolla womens club was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception. The management was very responsive, friendly and provided great insight for planning and organizing our event. They worked perfectly with our other vendors to pull off a flawless event. We had our dinner outside on the front long with lighting in the trees and it could not have been more beautiful. The cocktail hour was in the side garden with gorgeous views and an intimate setting. The dance floor was inside and decorations along with our superb DJ made it a fun and energetic setting. Overall a stress reducing and fun experience with a truly perfect wedding reception.

Sharlene was amazing! She was so wonderful to deal with, so kind, so caring, so helpful. The venue was beautiful and the location was perfect! It made for the most perfect wedding weekend! The pictures turned out beautifully, the ambiance was incredible, the care and service were unbelievable! our guests were amazed at how beautiful everything was. Sharlene have us great suggestions and guided us to the perfect wedding. I highly recommend the La Jolla Womans club to anyone who wants a gorgeous wedding. It was perfect!

A fabulous spot for our summer wedding! The outdoor space is gorgeous and it was the exactly what we were looking for. Sharlene was an absolute dream to work with. We highly recommend!

Beautiful facility, grounds, Sharlene was a delight to work with, very courteous, helpful, accommodating and professional . Although there was ample seating outside before guests were allowed into the hall, there was not enough seating in the shade. Sharlene was quick to remedy that situation. Facility is a little difficult for elderly or handicapped people to ambulate.

My hubby and I loved our wedding at La Jolla Woman's Club and working with Sharlene. It was a seamless process working with her to prepare for our big day at the venue. She was incredibly helpful, professional, and had great ideas. The club is beautiful - inside and out. A very classy place with gorgeous, romantic grounds. I highly recommend this venue and Sharlene! It's a venue worth checking out.

Outstanding venue with outstanding service! Sharlene was a great resource in planning our wedding. For a wedding in La Jolla, the Woman's Club is tough to beat...

I would highly recommend La Jolla Woman's Club as an exceptional wedding venue in the village of La Jolla, California, one block from the beach. When my daughter and I first visited the venue, we fell in love with its old world charm and versatility for a wedding. The historical setting is classy, romantic, and offers gardens, arches, dressing areas, parlors, ocean peek views and breezes, and a lovely ballroom with a grand stage. You can easily cross the street to take photos at Cuvier Park on the beach before, during, or after the wedding. Every aspect of the early planning stages and day of coordination was made seamless with the professional direction of the club's manager, Sharlene Thompson, who is a veteran event organizer. As far as value, after viewing numerous venues in and around San Diego, I wouldn't hesitate to say that this venue was by far the most cost effective. All tables and a large screen for a slide show are included in the rental which was a great money savings. We were also able to use approved caterers and a bar company allowing us to personalize our party and save money. The wedding was on a Sunday in February which also lowered costs. Tables are included which was another great money savings. The La Jolla Woman’s Club is a premier San Diego venue and the location offers conveniences such as nearby restaurants, boutiques, and services. We chose the boutique style Empress Hotel for our guests, which is a two block walk to the club. The rehearsal dinner was next door, at The Cottage, and that was also so convenient. Our guests raved about the entire event. Please disregard older reviews, as any problems incurred by previous management are no longer applicable.

Loved the La Jolla Women's Club! They went out of their way to make our day special, we had the best time of our life;) Our New Beginning! Thank you ! Love Deb and Tigg;)

I am a flower designer who recently did a wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club and was so imlpressed with the new management that I just have to write to you. I have never before written about a venue but I must say that the service is so improved it is like nite and day. Sharlene Thompson is VERY service minded and it is such a pleasure to work with her. My bride was over the top happpy. I would send every bride I have to her if I could. The place is so beautiful and so well kept and managed, it is like haveing a brand new venue to sell. I highly recommend that any bride who is looking for a lovely unique and personal venue check it out.

I had LJWC as my wedding venue last month, and I have to say, Sharlene was a superb help in the whole process. She was very knowledgeable about everything, cautioning me on several things I have overlooked and helping me with others. She is super nice and also very reasonable. On top of it, I fell in love with this venue when I saw it. It has the quaintness and old charm of a victorian house, but the elegance of a country club, adorned with beautiful courtyards and flowers all around. I'm so happy with my venue, and I think it did a lot to make my wedding the magical day I've always wanted. Would recommend it to any wedding couple with good taste.

The La Jolla Women’s club was the perfect venue for wedding day. After searching for a venue that would fit our personalities, my fiancé and I found the club to be a beautiful backdrop for our wedding day. As a historical building it possesses a classic charm I had been searching for. Sharlene Thompson and her staff were a delight to work with. They were all very personable and helpful throughout the planning process and in ensuring things ran smoothly on our special day. The venue is located in quaint downtown La Jolla within walking distance to the beach, hotels and many restaurants. The beautiful gardens, arcaded patios and large, partition-able interior of the club provide versatile spaces for planning a variety of activities. The club only provides the grounds, you do have to use vendors from their “preferred vendor’s” list (as I understand, these vendors have a specific insurance the club requires). However, we liked the freedom of being able to choose the style of vendor to go with our venue. Sharlene and her staff have worked with many vendors and we found those that she had recommended to us were very affordable and professional. Our whole experience in planning our wedding with the La Jolla Women’s Club was very enjoyable; I would recommend this venue as a great place to plan any formal celebration.
