Britt Scripps Manor

Britt Scripps Manor was the perfect venue in downtown San Diego for our intimate and non-traditional wedding. With several events spread throughout the weekend, BSM’s lovingly maintained historic home and grounds provided space for a ceremony, dinner reception, dancing, and brunch. Centrally located near Balboa Park, we even coordinated a bike ride through the city the day before our wedding. My partner and I wanted a wedding that felt warm, heartfelt, and reflected our values. The team at BSM made our weekend incredibly memorable and carefree. The venue itself is breathtaking and perfectly restored with incredible stained glass and finished touches throughout. Very minimal decor was needed to make the space feel special. BSM comes with an all inclusive catering package that was both easy and delicious. We loved working with their chef to create a menu that our guests continue to rave about. One of the highlights of our weekend included staying on site for two nights with our wedding party. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and there are some terrific spaces on the third floor to get ready and spend time with guests before the event. Additionally, having access to a weekend long rental eased the stress of set up and take down. Finally, the coordinated team was well prepared and professional every step of the way. For example, the day of our late June wedding was a bit chillier than anticipated, but the BSM coordinator helped us to come up with some last minute solutions to keep our guests warm throughout the night. We are so pleased to have worked with Britt Scripps Manor to host our wedding. If this space is available for your event, you’ll want to nab it!!

This review is long overdue, but I had to make sure I could take the time to give it justice– Sam, Keegan and the whole team at Britt Scripps Manor literally saved our wedding.

Six weeks before our wedding date, September 30, our venue cancelled on us because of legal issues, total nightmare, I was freaking out. Having just bought Britt Scripps in July and completed refurbish work to this gorgeous property, new ownership was able to put together a better wedding than we already had planned. Seriously, these guys know what they’re doing. Reassuring us from the start since it’s a “new” wedding venue, they have 4 other properties and they’ve been doing this for almost 10 years, their catering program and different chefs are incredible, and they keep almost everyting in house so youre not having to cobble together different people who aren’t used to working together.

They offer custom menus for both food and drinks, and both are SO GOOD…. Seriosuly, guests have not stopped commenting to us about how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! And Holly and her bartenders were so great, they would make new drinks for our guests on the spot, asking what people liked and surprising them with something unique. I just couldn’t believe how much fun my husband and I and all our guests had, I wish we could have a wedding here every year!

The event coordinator (“day of” coordination is included) Kate was outstanding. So on point and awesome to work with!

I just can’t say enough about how professional everyone was, and also a pleasure to deal with. This is a great team, fun, energetic, and it’s an amazing venue, and we feel so fortunate to have been the first to get married here with how everything happened. You will not regret booking Brit Scripps Manor.
