The LJWC is a stunning venue with plenty of space to do your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in the same place at a great price. We found the venue to be so beautiful already, that our decorations merely accentuated it and we didn't need to do too much more to create our space. Our guests all loved the venue, and we got many compliments throughout the night and afterward. We chose to host the ceremony in the south garden, which fit 120 guests without a problem, and a cocktail hour (with mariachi) on the north and west gardens. It was all very beautiful and worked incredibly well. Erin, the venue manager, is extremely easy to work with, flexible, and responsive (we loved her!).
The venue did require the event be over at 10pm (as did nearly every other venue we toured), however we were able to transition the party to Hennessey's Tavern nearby without any issues, and our guests also loved the brief walk and change of scene! We were able to keep the party going until late into the night.

Erin was super responsive from the beginning and LJWC was the perfect venue. Being that a lot of our guests were coming from the east coast and had never been to san diego, we wanted to ensure that the venue gave that quintessential san diego feel - and it did not disappoint! being in beautiful la jolla, close to the water it was perfect. the venue is also so beautiful and gardeny that you don’t need to spend a fortune on decor to make it nice! highly recommend!

I loved having my wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club! This venue is so beautiful and has a really lovely, intimate garden feeling. In May the trees are blooming creating such a beautiful backdrop for all of our photos. We saved a lot on floral by having our ceremony and reception outside, where not much floral needed to be added since it was already gorgeous. A bonus is it's proximity to the ocean so we could sneak off during cocktail hour for beach photos. Dancing is required to be inside, which I thought I wouldn't like since I wanted everything outside, but it ended up being really cool to have a separate space for it. Erin was very responsive and easy to work with and the price for the venue was actually more affordable compared to other venues in the area. Highly recommend, I would choose this venue a million times over.

This venue is so beautiful and versatile for a wedding and not to mention the staff working there are the best and made wedding planning such a breeze. It’s also in the perfect location close to the beach, hotels, and tons of restaurants and shops.

Erin from the La Jolla Woman's Club was great to work with, very easy going.
Location was perfect, we had cocktail hour and dinner outside on the lawn with lawn games under the tree for the kids, then dancing/ DJ inside.
The perfect setting for a wedding.

We had the perfect wedding day at the La Jolla Woman's Club. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony.

In the months before we booked, we toured a number of larger and more ostentatious venues. We weren't sure how many people would be attending our wedding - or what exactly we'd be looking for. We'd lived in La Jolla for a number of years. On the one hand, we wanted our ceremony to be near the ocean. On the other, we also valued serenity and privacy. We wanted our wedding to be set off from crowds - surrounded by nature and history.

The La Jolla Women's Club was perfect. It's just off Prospect, the main drag in this part of La Jolla - about two blocks from the beach. But it's so quiet and peaceful. The site is more than a century old. Ancient trees rise up on all sides. The garden area off to the side is a picturesque spot, surrounded by greenery. The buffet area in the main courtyard is an ideal setup for a reception area. The weather in San Diego in late fall was perfect for us - sunny and high 60s, with a few low-hanging clouds. We had almost a dozen guests come up to us independently and tell us this was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen.

One other important point - our wedding was originally booked for April 2020. The La Jolla Woman's Club was flexible and easy to work with during the COVID-19 closures that followed in the next year. A number of other venues' contracts had broad "force majeure" clauses that could have made this situation a nightmare. Instead, what could have been a stressful and difficult time was easy - through two consecutive postponements. The La Jolla Woman's Club was a pleasure to work with. They made our wedding day one we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I really don't enough positive things to say about hosting our wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club. The space is so versatile and could really be customized for any event. It's not only just a gorgeous space, but also such a versatile space and the staff are INCREDIBLE. They were so accommodating with managing last minute Covid changes. I could go on and on but amongst many of our wedding plans being upended, I'm so thrilled we were still able to host our wedding here. It fulfilled all of our expectations and more.

From our very first walkthrough, seeing the gorgeous outdoor garden spaces, great location and beautiful architecture, we knew this was our dream venue and we are so happy to have had our wedding there! We are so grateful to Auriel & La Jolla Woman's Club for sticking with us through two postponements and making our wedding day this past October so so special! Auriel was so understanding throughout the whole process of planning, postponing & rescheduling our date on top of keeping us updated on all the safety or city Covid protocols. We finally had our wedding day and we just can’t recommend La Jolla Woman's Club enough.

I had my wedding reception here in August, and it was a dream! Auriel is the BEST and so easy to work with. As an event planner myself, I'm very detail oriented and always have questions, but Auriel made the whole planning process a breeze. She spells everything out for you, so you have minimal questions (if any). I was a 2020 bride, and Auriel was great with helping us move our date to 2021 and through COVID she kept us updated on the CA guidelines/restrictions and what the Club was doing. The venue is a stunning space, and it truly does not need much to spruce it up. We used the rental company through the Club (Mario), which made things much easier and it was one less vendor to worry about.

My daughter got married this past weekend after a year postponement and the venue, the venue staff, the amenities and the ambiance of the building, verandas, gardens, courtyards, made the day so magical. Having the flexibility to design your perfect idea of what you want in a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was icing on the cake once you see this historic mid century modern design in La Jolla, Ca. Everything could happen in one place making it so much more convenient for our guests. We chose to have the ceremony outside under the tree with the reception indoors. With COVID restrictions we knew we had the flexibility to move the reception outside and it would be just as beautiful.
I can not say enough about Auriel and Mario. This dynamic duo makes everything so easy. They have so many tricks and props to make the day unique and special. Many of our guests were from out of town and having access to the beach and hotels close by in such a beautiful setting was icing on the cake.
The team that worked with us on the day of the wedding was so amazing. They were efficient, kind, and super helpful and professional. They really are unsung heroes making all the magic happen and come together. They didn't just do the minimum, they really did set a very high bar and they went out of their way to coordinate with all the vendors and watching this team in action was amazing. I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for something unique and special.
