The Most Magical Wedding Weekend

We had the best, most magical wedding and wedding weekend at Estancia!

Our Catering Manager Nicole was so helpful from the moment we toured the property, through the planning process, all the way through to the wedding day.

From check-in to check-out, we were treated like royalty. The thoughtful amenities we received throughout our entire stay were so on point & such great surprises.

I wish we could remember each & every team member that made our day and our stay so great. The Front Desk & reservations teams were so helpful & accommodating, welcoming us by name at check-in. Chad at the pool took great care of us the Sunday after the wedding. An associate helped our officiant with typing up & printing a revision of his speech. The bar team at the lobby bar were incredible all weekend, remembering our drink orders and taking great care of us. The Night Audit team answered requests for us as early as 5 AM. Valet and the bell team assisted us all weekend with our many bags. The catering, events, and banquet team were the stars on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on the service, delicious food, tasty drinks.

I could go on & on, but the bottom line is we couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding, or a better team to help us bring the day to life. Estancia will always have a special place in our hearts!

Beautiful and relaxing hotel

We had a wedding block here (got married at Scripps down the road) and thought the hotel was beautiful and very relaxing. They took great care of us and had gifts upon arrival and on our wedding night (champagne, chocolate, etc). The food at the restaurants is very good, the grounds are beautiful; all of our guests loved staying here.
One thing that's useful to know is that they dramatically reduced the price of the presidential suite and some of their other suites with a 10-room block--think the presidential suite went from ~2k to ~1.1k. We loved staying in that room and used it for a tea ceremony and for the bridal party to get ready so we got good value from it. Can't guarantee they'll always do that but worth knowing.

The wedding of our dreams

I don't even know where to begin about this incredible venue. Months back when my then fiancé & I were touring venues, we instantly knew Estancia La Jolla was the place we envisioned ourselves getting married. Megan Meachum gave us our first tour & I cannot explain how helpful she was in our wedding-planning process. From answering countless emails, to attending our menu tasting & even being present on our wedding day, our wedding wouldn't have happened without her. The entire staff at Estancia La Jolla was so kind & helpful, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our wedding day was everything we could've dreamt of & if you're able to have your dream day there, we couldn't recommend it more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
