Beachside Fairytale Wedding in July at L'Auberge Del Mar

From the beginning, L'Auberge Del Mar was where I had my heart set on getting married at. The night that we got engaged, my fiance had booked us a room at L'Auberge and from there we both fell in love with the venue.

Fast forward to the planning process, and every single staff member, waiter, valet, bartender, planner, coordinator that we worked with and spoke to was SO wonderful.

L'Auberge Del Mar is the perfect beachside fairytale wedding venue. It's no surprise they have weddings almost every weekend- they are truly a dream destination for friends and family to visit from out of town, or for San Diego locals to experience the magic of Del Mar in our own backyard.

I would like to extend a few Thank You's especially to Whitney, for making the whole process seamless, to Dionne for making our weeks leading up and our day-of wedding an absolute DREAM- seriously Dionne was the best. So sweet, calming and wonderful to work with. And of course everyone who worked the valet, bartenders, servers, and staff during our wedding weekend.

Our guests, who mainly came from out of town, were all raving about L'Auberge. The views are incredible, they all loved how welcomed they felt, how amazing the lobby smelled (seriously a scent I'll never forget!), and how DELICIOUS all the food & drinks were!

Our wedding weekend was truly perfect thanks to everyone at L'Auberge Del Mar, and I just wish I could relive the weekend again and again! Thank you thank you thank you L'Auberge Del Mar!

Incredible Wedding Venue!!!!

WOW! We had our wedding in late October at L’Auberge, and it was absolutely perfect. L’Auberge is a stunning backdrop to host a wedding, but that is only the beginning. From the moment we reached out, we simply could not have been happier with the wedding services and coordination at L’Auberge.

Specifically, Alexandra was so easy to work with to understand our needs and put together a wedding package which included accommodations for many of our guests. Their wedding coordinator, Dionne was beyond amazing throughout the entire process — she is an incredibly lovely person, and a wonderful partner in helping plan every single detail of our amazing day. She made me feel like I was the only Bride she was working with, and that our wedding day was the most special day…and it was! The entire of staff of L’Auberge were incredibly kind and accommodating, the food was amazing and we cannot even begin to describe how wonderful the service was! Our guests were raving all weekend!

We hosted a wedding for 160 guests, with the majority from out of town. Our guests were amazed with L’Auberge — the location, the hotel, and most especially, the personalized and friendly service of the entire hotel staff. They went out of their way to welcome our guests, and provided top-notch service throughout the weekend.

We highly, highly recommend L’Auberge!!

Beautiful Venue for a wedding, even better Staff!

The venue is beautiful and the pictures speak for themselves. It doesn't get much better than an oceanside sunset view during your wedding, but what sets L'Auberge apart is the quality of their staff. From the sales manager to the event service manager and the banquet staff, everyone is extremely professional and genuinely friendly. They are truly a service-oriented team and will do their best to make sure your dream wedding experience becomes a reality.

My Absolute DREAM wedding!

We had the most magical wedding at L'Auberge. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and you feel so welcomed from the moment you walk in. Every single staff member from valet, waiter, bartender, servers were so incredibly attentive. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly and the attention to detail was impeccable. Dionne, the event service manager, was amazing and really made it such a seamless experience for us. I could not have imagined the day going any better, our wedding was absolutely magical. We cannot wait to go back! Thank you again to everyone at L'Auberge!

Perfect Weekend at L'Auberge Del Mar

We celebrated our wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar two weeks ago, and we could not have had a better experience! Starting from our initial venue tour with Whitney, all the way through the planning process with Dionne, and then into the actual wedding weekend and day of with the whole team, everything was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful (you can't beat the ocean views and the gorgeously appointed property), the food is delicious (thanks to Chef and her team for accommodating our various dietary needs!), and the team is friendly and accommodating. In addition to our actual wedding, we hosted a brunch the next day at L'Auberge, and it was also wonderful! We also had a number of our guests stay at the hotel, and they raved about their time there!

10/10 recommend

My husband and I got married at L’Auberge Del Mar yesterday on the Pacific Terrace and it was an absolute dream. To say we are happy is an understatement. We had the most incredible experience and all of our guests were blown away with all of it and said that the day was breathtaking. The hotel staff is incredibly kind, responsive, and so hardworking. We are so happy with our decision in getting married there and if you’re looking in Del Mar, look no further than L’Auberge. The sunset over the Pacific terrace during our reception was incredibly beautiful and a staple in the evening!! 10/10 recommend. We worked very closely with Dionne Hesley, the events manager, and she was an absolute joy to work with! We are very pleased with how everything turned out!

Amazing all around

Since I was a little girl growing up in Del Mar it was my dream to get married jere one day. It was everything and more I could have dreamed of, and they pulled it together for me in 14 days. They were extremely helpful and took away all the stress of pulling together a wedding in 2 weeks time. You guys are amazing thank you! The set up, the food, and the event coordinators were 10/10. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Felt like royalty!

ABSOLUTELY the most luxurious experiences I could have imagined. My husband & I got married on October 7, 2023 and had the opportunity to work with the most amazing event services managers, Dionne. From the day we checked in to the day we left the venue, we were treated like royalty. Not only that but we were incredibly blessed to have the most gorgeous cotton candy skies sunset during our reception that made it all feel like a dream. From staff, to details, to venue location, to literally everything, L'auberge exceeded my expectations. HIGHLY recommend as the #1 venue to get married!!

Get married here

We just had our wedding at L'Auberge, and it was an incredible experience.
The attention to detail, staff, and service was incredible.
The management team knows exactly what they are doing.
In addition, the sound system and the food (steak was perfectly cooked, fish was so soft, sorbet never melted) was perfection.
I am so so happy we chose this venue, it is beautiful inside and out.
