La Valencia was the absolute best venue we could have asked for!

I can’t say enough good things about our entire experience with our wedding process at La Valencia. Bobby & Rebecca were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were quick to respond to our questions and always made time for us to stop by the hotel if we needed to get eyes on something for the planning process. When it came to the actual wedding day, it was an absolute dream! Bobby & his team made sure every detail was taken care of, and we truly felt like everything was under control so that we could enjoy getting ready and spending time with family/friends. Ian took incredible care of me and my husband during the reception and was readily available at all times for any requests or questions that we had. The entire staff at La V was so professional and incredible throughout the entire day, and made us feel so special! The service at the cocktail hour, dinner and the reception was amazing, and our guests complimented the food countless times!

We also did a mini-moon at La Valencia right after the wedding, and it was such a relaxing few days! We spent most afternoons relaxing at the pool, and Mike did an excellent job making sure we were well taken care of at all times. We’re still over the moon about our entire experience, which has made us fall in love with the hotel! We can’t wait to come back for many, many more visits.

Best of the best!

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue than La Valencia for our wedding. The setting is absolutely stunning and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during planning and on the big day. Bobby Fader and his team at La V are absolute pros and the best people to work with -- incredibly communicative, professional, and wonderful to work with every step along the way. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful location and are still talking about the delicious food and top-notch service from everyone at the hotel. We are so grateful for their attention to detail and couldn't recommend working with Bobby and Rebecca more highly. Thank you so much for making it such a special experience for us.

A little slice of heaven in San Diego

Our wedding at La Valencia was everything we could have ever dreamed of thanks to Bobby Fader and the excellent + attentive staff at the Pink Lady- Ian, Jenny and Olivia- to name a few!!

We planned our wedding from across the country and Bobby made sure we were comfortable every step of the way; he was always incredibly quick to reply to any & all of our requests (even a pretty big last minute request) with a smile on his face.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food served & the presentation in addition to the speed with which all guests were able to eat (super rare at a 100+ person wedding) and most importantly, guests never waited in line for a drink!

Our only wish is that we could relive this amazing weekend, only to work with Bobby and the amazing staff at this amazing venue again! We cannot wait to go back to the Pink Lady for many years to come :)
Highly recommend La Valencia for any San Diego bride!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
