Beautiful place! My now husband and I fell in love with this place for so many reasons. From the location, to the gardens, to the amazing help and patience from Sharlene. This place is so iconic architecturally, so to be able to get married here was a dream come true. And what makes a beautiful place better? Amazing help from the event coordinator; Sharlene. She was not only super helpful with information but was unbelievably sweet. We went to the venue about a million times to mock up our ideas and she was always so welcoming and would even help us brainstorm on what we could do! It was just such a lovely experience from start to finish! We couldnt have had a more perfect experience with the La Jolla Woman's Club and Sharlene! LOVE!

Wonderful space, all of our guests raved about it!

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.

I DJ'd a wedding at the La Jolla Women's Club last weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. Even though we had a surprise rainstorm, they were easily able to adjust and handle the ceremony on the covered patio. Sharlene, the catering manager, was very friendly to work with! Everything flowed smoothly, thanks to the warm environment. Check out the LJWC for your next wedding or event. You won't regret it!

I have been fortunate enough to celebrate 2 personal/family weddings in addition to showcasing wedding & event cakes (as owner of Sweet Cheeks Baking Co.) at the La Jolla Women's Club numerous times...and what a beautiful spot! It features so many cool aspects: beautiful ceremony areas, close to beach & accommodations for guests, stunning garden setting, covered porches (which protect guests, flowers, food & cake from sun), great stage for big band, and lovely nooks & areas for unique photography. Sharlene is a great addition to the team at the Club, and she has enhanced the vendor list to help clients to find more amazing professionals.
