Most epic night!

I am ASHAMED I have taken this long to write this review.
FIVE STARS is not enough and a review is not enough to show the gratitude and happiness La Jolla brought to our wedding. From Day 1, Betsy went above and beyond, in everything. She always was one step ahead with suggestions, took the time to make sure I was happy and always was on top of our wedding date details. To begin, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, perfectly situated by Miracle Mile with parking all around. The venue has been remodeled for cocktail hour and the space is just perfect! It works so well from the cocktail hour and the transition to dinner. THE FOOD OMG! It was TOO good, not cause it was our wedding and I always make fun of the older people commenting on the food, but I have now become that person after my experience with La Jolla. If you have a chance to get desserts shots, DO IT! We could not stop talking about them!!! AND the staff gave the leftover ones to me in a pan to take home...without even me asking. THE STAFF I have to mention the staff. They were the most courteous and humble staff ever, they saw my husband and I sitting out the cocktail hour cause we were already so exhausted and wanted a breather. Someone came and brought two trays with one of each of our hors’ d’oeuvres, it was such a sweet sweet gesture. AND they were all amazing 😉. If you have a chance to have your cake with Cake Lounge they did not disappoint either! Again I became the old ladies commenting on the cake so so so yummy and moist and so many options. DJ Duni was THE BEST just so easy to work with EVERYONE was so easy to work with. So honest so humble funny just great amazing people. OH THE PHOTO BOOTH! You have got to get the mirror photo booth!! But my final note is reserved solely for Betsy, our perfect night was perfect because of her. She took her time on our day as if it was the only one and it meant the world to us. Like my whole family knew “Betsy” 🥰. We have beautiful memories of a beautiful day because of the wonderful people that work at La Jolla. The food, the music the venue everything was a plus. If you are thinking of this venue DO IT, you will not regret it!

Best Venue Ever!

At the beginning of the pandemic we had another venue that canceled our contract in the middle of the year. We were desperately looking for another venue just 6 months before the wedding. La Jolla Ballroom helped us tremendously due to the consequences. They were able to accommodate everything that we wished for and More!
Betsy and Glorymar were wonderful, they really went above and beyond for us to have the wedding of our dreams.
The food was amazing and the drinks too!
We are so glad that we found La Jolla Ballroom, everything turned out better than expected. Thank you so much we are completely happy with your service.

The catering service was Awesome

The food and service was on point everyone at the party loved the food and had great flavor and was warm. The appetizers were so good. The captain of my wedding was Mario and he made sure everything was great and going how it should. I had the help from Jeda who was super nice and made sure I had everything. Thank you all so much for everything
