I cannot stop raving about this venue and the whole event planning team. We had such an amazing experience having out wedding at the Horton Grand Hotel, it makes me want to do it all over again. The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding.

Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests.

It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day.

Plan your wedding today at the Horton Grand Hotel, you definitely won't regret it!!

We chose this location because it reminded us of New Orleans Square in Disneyland and we were having a Disney themed wedding so it was at the top of our list. From our first communication with Jennifer, everything was a breeze. She was attentive and always had answers to our questions. There was a possibility of rain on our day but she eased our stress and had back up plans for any situation. She gave us the peace of mind we needed in a crazy time.

The venue is BEAUTIFUL and there are many great locations for photos! Guests are still complimenting the venue weeks later. The staff was SO FRIENDLY. Everyone greeted us with a smile and was helpful! The food and cocktails were DELICIOUS!

Our out-of-town guests felt at home and our in-town guests can't wait for an excuse to go back. The day was perfect and without this venue, Jennifer, and the rest of the staff that would not have been possible! We truly felt like Disney royalty!

We had such a great wedding at the Horton Grand!!

The venue is beautiful. It looks great in pictures and even better in person. We got so many compliments on the venue on our wedding night. It doesn't need much in terms of decoration. The layout is great. The courtyard is beautiful and we had both our ceremony and reception there. The cocktail hour in the alley way was perfect. There's quite a few spots for pictures.

The food received great reviews from the guests. We chose prime rib, chicken, and a veggie pasta. We hired an extra bartender and that kept the lines short and drinks flowing for our 130 guests. The venue size was perfect for the amount of people we had.

We had a lot of out-of-towners and I loved that it's only 4 miles from the airport and walking distance to everything. We liked that no one had to rent a car. We had a get-together night at Half Door Brewing and our rehearsal dinner at Union Tap & Kitchen, both walking distance. There's a discount to stay at the Horton Grand and the rooms have so much charm. It's also close to every hotel chain for people with rewards.

Price was in line with everything else we looked at. We liked that there were no upcharges for chairs, linens, lighting, and all that. Everything is included in their packages that you would expect from a venue in terms of tables/chairs/linens/lights/food/bar/meal tasting/setup/takedown/etc. They even comp you a room on the wedding night. The only add-on we did was an extra bartender. We also appreciated that there are ballrooms as back ups in case of rain, which we did not have to use. Vendor-wise we brought in a florist, dj, photographer, day of planner, and photobooth.

Communication with Jennifer was excellent and she was very responsive to our many (and probably repeat) questions in the past year. I cannot recommend her enough. She was a true pleasure to work with.

All in all, the best compliment I can give it is that I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding at the Horton Grand. We spent so much time planning and preparing and stressing over it, but our wedding night was the best night of our lives. It was worth every penny.

Gorgeous boutique hotel the vintage vibes are one of a kind. Jennifer is AMAZING she has been the best from the very first meeting. She's so kind, attentive, organized, all of the things! You will love it!

My husband and I got married at Horton Grand Hotel last week. Choosing Horton Grand as our wedding venue and Jen and Blake as our wedding coordinator was the best decision. Everything went very smoothly, beautifully and the event was perfect! The event started on time the staff was on top of everything, we didn’t worry about anything but having a great time. The courtyard is stunning no extra decor needed.

I highly recommend Horton Grand for wedding events!

Thank you so much!

I recently coordinated a Vow Renewal at the Horton Grand Hotel! Jennifer was absolutely amazing, she is so kind, quick to respond, makes everything as easy as possible! The food was delicious, fresh, and well portioned! The venue itself was so beautiful that it did not take a lot to dress it up! My clients and myself LOVED our experience here and I can’t wait to recommended them for more weddings! Thank you Jennifer and your whole team!

They were so great and exceeded all expectations! They were very flexible with any request we had, as well as being thorough and responsive the whole process. The venue is absolutely stunning, we have guests telling us they want to go back to the hotel to stay because they had such a wonderful experience, and their prices are so reasonable!!!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Jennifer (Sales Manager), and the Horton Grand Hotel (HGH). She was perfectly placed in our lives when we began searching for our venue. She’s half the reason why we chose HGH. She was AMAZING for putting up with us, and all of my husband’s questions for the entire year of the wedding planning process. She responded very quickly, professionally, and was very helpful!

If you decide to go with the Horton, consider using their ballroom for reception/dancing. We were going to use the quart yard, but it was going to rain that evening, and moved to the ballroom which we thought was even a better option for our 130 guests. We absolutely loved our ceremony at the quart yard. It’s a hidden gem in downtown Gaslamp Quarter San Diego. Our guests loved the fact that everything was in one location (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and even accommodations) all in one property. In addition, everything was walkable for our out of town guests who are excited to be in San Diego, with a very good room rates.

The food was great!! I recommend the prime rib and lemon chicken. One of our guests was super impressed with HGH’s chef because she’s allergic to onions, so the chef accommodated our guest’s needs.

My husband and I are absolutely going to miss Jennifer! We cannot be more pleased with how our wedding went. Jennifer and HGH will always have a place in our hearts!

When looking for our wedding venue we knew we wanted something unique but beautiful. We spent months look at boring venues, expensive venues, parks, wineries, you name it but nothing came close to our visit at Horton Grand Hotel. The architecture and the feel of this hotel is breath taking. We were beyond happy with the outcome. Our event coordinator Jennifer Nauta was so helpful and sweet. She helped craft our wedding into something out of a magazine. I can't say enough nice things about her. Our guests are STILL raving about the beauty of the venue and the hospitality of the staff. As I begin to post pictures on social media every day I get messages from people I don't know asking what the location was. You will not be disappointed in choosing The Horton Grand Hotel!

Jennifer at the Horton Grand Hotel has been an incredible asset throughout our wedding planning process. I cannot fathom the number of questions she answered, issues she handled, and nerves she calmed throughout our early planning stages to the event itself. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff do such an amazing job of making everyone feel welcomed and helped. Being from Chicago, most of our family and friends were from out-of-town, so having everyone in one place was helpful and all our of guests greatly enjoyed their accommodations. Also, people were raving about the food all night long! Our wedding was a dream, and that is at least 80% because of the Horton Grand Hotel. I highly recommend them!
