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.

Beautiful San Diego Venue!

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!

Stunning Venue

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.

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.
