Fairytale Wedding

I cannot express how incredible my daughter’s wedding was at Chula Vista! Jenny was absolutely amazing!! She was there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond. We could not have done it without her, she was kind, professional , caring and very patient with this overwhelmed mom of the bride. Jenny made sure my daughter had the wedding of her dreams. She made us feel like family not just a client. Everybody on her team was super helpful, the food was phenomenal, the resort was awesome. I highly recommend working with Jenny and her team. There aren’t enough words to describe how much we appreciate everything!

Wonderful Experience!

We are so glad that we chose Chula Vista for our wedding and reception. It was a great experience from start to finish, very much due to the professionalism and experience of Rachel Jacobson, Chula’s amazing wedding coordinator. Our wedding was Nov. 29, 2019. Everyone especially loved the food we served — we had food stations with various carved meats, and people were raving about them! The staff at the reception were so great as well; they were all very helpful and friendly. I can’t say enough about our experience! It was excellent!! The only challenges people had were navigating the resort, but that worked itself out over time. Some of the decor, especially the carpeting in the banquet rooms, was a bit dated, but I’ve seen they are taking on some renovations. Overall I would recommend Chula as a great choice for a wedding and reception! Thank you Rachel and everyone at Chula Vista for a wonderful wedding and great memories!

My new husband and I had our wedding reception at Chula Vista in the Upper Ballroom. Not only were the view and the venue beautiful, but all of the staff was amazing! We worked with both wedding coordinators- Jenn and Rachel- and were so pleased with their willingness to get us anything and everything we needed! Our reception was absolutely beautiful! We would like to give a special mention to the houseman Cory who helped us with our last minute requests, Jennifer and Will who bartended for us, and Ruth from banquets who with her staff made sure that everyone's needs were met swiftly. Everyone was amazing and made us feel so special! We definitely recommend Chula Vista Resort for any weddings!

Gorgeous Venue

Our guests loved the outdoor setting! We had our ceremony at the Fairway Grove and the reception at the Cold Water Tent and we had the most gorgeous weather! Our wedding day couldn't be any more perfect. Rachel was so responsive and helpful! Thank you!

Amazing experience

Planning a wedding with Taylor Youngblut, wedding coordinator at Chula Vista, was nothing short of an amazing experience! She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day...even through all of this COVID craziness! I would 100% 10/10 recommend having a wedding at Chula Vista! The food was amazing as well as the service! Thank you to Jeff Kaminski for going the extra mile to make sure our special day occurred.

Chula Vista was an amazing place to have our wedding. Mikayla was a fantastic person to work with and was extremely flexible. We were allowed to have a popcorn bar from another place instead of other hotels we looked at who would have made us use their popcorn. Everything we wanted as far as appetizers to late night snacks was flexible and custom to what we wanted. Our only issue, mainly mine, was the non early check in we requested. We wanted to go do the Ducks before the rehearsal and didn't want to drive around with cars packed of stuff but it wasn't a make or break. The food was fantastic, the head chef came to check on us multiple times and made sure everything was good which it was. It may have been a far drive for some but it was completely worth having our wedding there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
