Exceptional service from the staff and breathtaking views!

We had our wedding at Cape Rey last weekend, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we first walked in to our final moments on the big day, everything was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue. Every staff member provided exceptional service and was completely on point throughout the wedding day. They consistently went above and beyond to meet our requests and were always a step ahead—each of them deserves a raise!

Our first contact was with Karla, who was amazing to work with. When she left, we started working with Kiara, and she was just as wonderful! She was incredibly organized and thorough during our final walkthrough, offering professional recommendations that we were happy to implement. Kiara was approachable, responsive, and made us feel confident that she and her team had everything under control on our wedding day.

Of course, Cape Rey's breathtaking views were a highlight, and every corner of the property felt like a beautiful focal point. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, and we highly recommend Cape Rey for any wedding or event!

Dream May Wedding in Carlsbad

My husband and I recently got married at Cape Rey Hilton Hotel this past May and it was truly the most amazing venue for so many reasons but just to name a few: the location, atmosphere, food, service, and price were exceptional. The list goes on from there. From the outdoor lawn ceremony with a stunning palm backdrop to the romantic terrace with cafe lighting overlooking the blue pacific ocean, it was such a great location to accommodate our wedding of about 120 guests, including a ceremony sword arch, while providing enough space and different areas for our guests to intermingle and enjoy throughout the night. The staff at Cape Rey was also amazing and felt like family. Sydnie, the wedding coordinator, was available for all our questions, showing kindness and professionalism in all our interactions, and helped us make the right decisions for the event when her opinion was solicited. Additionally, the amount of flexibility and accommodation for various requests exceeded our expectations. From slight modifications to the menu and signature drink selections to managing our growing list of outside rentals, the Cape Rey staff set the standard for professionalism and event catering. We received MANY compliments on the food (thank you Chef John!) and the overall venue which I give full credit to Cape Rey. It was so much fun transforming the terrace into a romantic Italian inspired villa and seeing the candles and flowers sparkle in front of such an amazing ocean backdrop. Thank you Cape Rey for giving us such a wonderful memory to start our lives together, we are so incredibly grateful for everything you did to make our wedding day so special.

Excellent venue

This was an absolutely beautiful venue with awesome views of the ocean and the sunset during the reception. The ceremony space was clean and elegant. But the staff truly made the whole experience worth it. They were so attentive and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed and asked for and did it all with a smile. We were very impressed by the staff and couldn’t have asked for more. True professionals!!!
