10/10 experience!!!!

I cannot recommend CCYC enough! Dan and his entire team were an absolute dream to work with. They went above and beyond in every way to make our day truly unforgettable. Dan was incredibly flexible and accommodating with every request, and his calm, friendly presence made the entire planning process so much easier. The food and service were incredible. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had—which says so much about the quality and care the staff puts into everything they do, especially Chef Iliana. My husband and I toured many venues, and when we visited CCYC, we were honestly shocked by the value, the views, and the overall experience compared to everywhere else we looked. The setting is stunning, and our guests—many visiting from Texas and Idaho—were blown away by how beautiful it was. We truly have nothing but the highest praise for CCYC. The people, the views, the service, the entire experience… it was more than we ever could have hoped for.

Waterfront Hidden Gem!

When venue searching, I came across CCYC on a San Diego wedding page. Thank goodness I did! My now husband and I toured 5 venues and we felt at home the day we toured CCYC! Other venues felt like a “wedding factory” whereas this venue felt like a family. The entire staff was fabulous.
We booked our venue 1.5 years from our wedding date and Dan was there to answer my questions the whole time. Thank you Dan for being available and always so friendly. He made our experience such a breeze. My favorite part of my pre-wedding experience was our dinner tasting. I had read many raving reviews about their food, so I did have high hopes- and they sure were met! A special thank you to Chef Illiana, our guests are raving about the dinner to this day. We highly recommend the coconut shrimp, herb stuffed chicken, and grilled ribeye steak.
Our wedding was in early September and the weather could not have been more perfect. Sunny blue skies with an ocean breeze.
This venue really comes with a lot and the prices are very fair. It is truly a hidden gem and I hope to one day attend another wedding at CCYC as a guest, because it is truly the best atmosphere. Choose CCYC for your perfect wedding day!

They gave us a perfect day

We searched for a few months in the San Diego and Temecula areas for a venue that would suit our personalities and taste, while providing an amazing experience for our guests (many of which would be traveling from out of town and state). We wanted to host something intimate (75 guests), but still provided a great atmosphere, food, and fantastic bar. We received everything and more with Coronado Cays Yacht Club. Our April 2024 wedding was perfection, with credit due to Dan, Chef Iliana, and the rest of the amazing staff. The location is on the water, but in a tucked away location on Coronado Cays (bayside). The yacht club provided the most beautiful ceremony space we could ask for, and included dressing areas, plenty of spaces for photos, and a fantastic menu for cocktail and dinner service. Everything was fabulous! We ate for days with the tasting menu. Contracting and packaging were very reasonable. I'm still receiving compliments and texts about our wedding and how perfect it was from our family and friends.

Great venue

This venue was absolutely stunning, you get a view of the bay area and the city lights. My Husband and I had our wedding here on the 8th of June. Dan was so helpful and nice, he was accommodating to our request. I loved that the ceremony and reception were all in the same location. And if you want to do photos down by the water it's literally a 5 minute walk. The pricing for this venue was perfect, it wasn't crazy expensive, and it didn't give the cheap vibe when everything was set up. It's a beautiful location to have a wedding! I loved it!

Fabulous venue and staff!

I had always dreamed of getting married at this venue ever since my aunt did years ago. The venue lived up to everything I could have hoped for and more! The staff was amazing and so helpful! They made every detail perfect and the food was to die for!!! Everyone kept talking about how good everything was and how beautiful the location was. There is parking, getting ready rooms and a spot for the ceremony.

On top of the day of, they allowed us to bring things in the day before and pick up the day after the wedding which was a blessing for a DIY bride like myself! I could not have been happier with Dan, Illiana and the entire CCYC staff! Book your dream wedding here!!!

Excellent All-in-One Venue

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at this venue. You can’t beat the view and what they offer at their affordable prices! Dan Parker, the venue coordinator, was very helpful in helping us plan for the event. He was so flexible and really worked with us to tailor everything to what we wanted. It was so nice to have a “one stop shop” venue. They have all the supplies you would need minus decorations, but the venue is so beautiful we were able to spend minimally on flowers and decorations. We did open bar, appetizers, and buffet style menu. The staff made sure we ate which was wonderful! For Saturday weddings, you can go to 11pm which was perfect. 10/10 would recommend.

The perfect wedding venue!

This is a long overdue review, but we had our wedding at CCYC last summer, and the venue was perfect for us! It had everything we needed there, even rooms on site to get ready in. Not having to stress about figuring out separate vendors for food, servers, and rentals while planning a wedding was a huge bonus. Plus, the food there is delicious! The location is gorgeous, and the whole atmosphere is beautiful, fun, and welcoming. It’s also very reasonably priced, especially for a waterfront venue in San Diego! This venue truly is such a gem, and I cannot recommend it enough.

I also want to give a huge shout out to all the hardworking staff there. They were amazing, and they had plates with all our food pre set aside for us to make sure we didn’t miss anything and had a chance to eat even in the chaos of cocktail hour and running around taking photos. Everything there is like a well oiled machine, and I’m sure a large part of that is thanks to the manager, Dan. He is so friendly and helpful, and he is truly an expert at having a wedding run smoothly at the venue. It was great to have his guidance throughout the process, especially with the many questions we kept coming up with.

The flexibility of the venue was also a big plus. We were able to customize as much as we needed, even including having some indoor and some outdoor seating for dinner so that we could space guests out more among COVID concerns.

Our guests all had a great time, and we got a lot of compliments on selecting such a wonderful venue. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and thank you so much to Dan and all the staff that helped make it truly magical for us!

Amazing Venue, Guest Experience, and Service!

Coronado Cays Yacht Club was the best choice we made for our wedding in August. Dan was collaborative and responsive throughout the planning process. When the big day finally arrived, we couldn't have asked for better service and support. Our guests raved about the food, the views, and everything that the Club had to offer! CCYC allows you a ton of freedom to plan exactly the wedding that you want, from decor to drink options- they are extremely helpful and flexible. We couldn't have been happier with our day at CCYC and can't recommend them more highly!

Waterfront views, amazing food and hospitable staff

This is the BEST wedding venue in San Diego. Superior location, amazing staff, great views and good vibes. My husband and I knew we wanted to capture the best of San Diego for our guests and we know that we would accomplish that goal, and more, at the CCYC. Dan is so easy to work with—he’s flexible, understanding and is committed to making sure you and your guests have a great time. You can truly build the wedding of your dreams at the Coronado Cays—you can customize the decorations, the food, the bar, and the floor plan. So many of our guests commented that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! I’ve never seen a bigger piece of steak served at a banquet.  We wouldn’t change a thing about our big day and are so happy that we chose the CCYC as our venue. I can’t wait to attend or host another event at the Cays. Also, huge shout out to their wait staff. They went out of their way to make sure the day was special and that we were well fed and hydrated. Their hospitality didn’t go unnoticed!

Fantastic wedding at the Cays

We highly recommend!! From our first visit to tastings to bringing decor in the day before, CCYC was incredibly helpful and responsive. The manager, Dan, helped us every step of the way and was gracious when our plans changed. The staff accommodated all our requests up to our wedding day. The day itself was perfect. The view is unmatched and Jose the bartender was fantastic!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
