From the event coordinators (Jenny & Kendyll) to the wait staff, my now-husband and I could not have asked for a more accomodating and organized group of people to help us execute our big day beyond our expectations. Having a group that is detail-oriented, organized, and fast responders was a huge priority for us in making the wedding as stress-free as possible. The tasting for the food was included with our package which isn't common. The food was great and was a highlight of our wedding day, as were the mai tai's and champagne punch bowl. You definitely get a great waterfront view at Bali Hai, but what you will get that you will not get elsewhere is by far the biggest bang for your buck. Choosing this place was most gratifying decision we made for our wedding.

Highly recommend!!
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better venue for our ceremony and reception! We chose to have our reception in the outdoor Hawaiian pavilion, and it was an excellent decision. Our guests were amazed with the beauty and views of this venue. The wait staff exceeded our expectations as well and you can't go wrong with their amazing food. Jenny and Kendyll were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend!

Amazing and picturesque venue for a wedding ceremony and reception!
Absolutely! We have actually already told many friends and associates about our wedding and the wonderful venue and services of Bali Hai! It was the perfect setting with a very romantic backdrop of the City of San Diego on the other side of the San Diego Harbor. The city lights were very picturesque. Lots of our guests were from out of town. It was very convenient for them to get to the ceremony and reception at the same location. They were very impressed to have a view of San Diego lit up across the waters. The pricing options for the ceremony and reception were well within our budget. For those considering a location for a wedding and reception or any other event, we highly recommend the Bali Hai!
Where could be even begin in giving our endorsements to the Bali Hai Restaurant? A 20+ year love affair with the food and the view. A 15 year wedding vendor relationship with the Baumann Family and easily over 100+ wedding ceremonies performed at the beautiful San Diego bay side location with such an awesome support staff where in addition to all this; we booked this very location for our daughter Sarah's wedding. Over the last 10 years, Larry Baumann and his family has donated their location to our www.militrymondays.net philanthropic outreach where in November 2015, we celebrated our 500th FREE ceremony to our active military. We love the Bali Hai!

The Bali Hai staff is accommodating and professional in every way. The setting is right on the water and the ceremony site is intimate and right on the harbor. The outdoor patio is the perfect size, and is also right along the water. The venue is memorable and modern.
