Incredible Wedding Venue! A must see location!

Bali Hai was incredible to work. I am very particular and they were always awesome every step of the way!
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It was everything I envisioned it would be on wedding day! They even had a drink waiting for us after the ceremony! Top notch service.
I could not ask for anything more! Enjoy a few photos from our wedding.

Best venue in San Diego

Bali Hai was the best choice for venue for us in San Diego. The price was great for everything it included (set-up/take-down, ceremony and reception space, food, bar). We only had to set up table numbers and the welcome sign—they set up EVERYTHING else (aside from the floral vendor but that was so easy to get arranged).

Brittany and Ashley were very knowledgeable and helpful during the planning, and especially the day of. The ceremony and reception went by so smoothly.

We did the buffet and tray passed appetizers and everything was delicious. The location was perfect and we honestly could not be happier with how gorgeous and fun our wedding was.
A very big thank you to the waiters who worked our event as well. Lee was my (the bride) personal server during the event and she made sure I had everything I needed and more. No other venue provided as much as Bali Hai does and that alone makes it a fabulous choice for any event.

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.
