Best Weekend Of Our Lives!!!!

Blake at Paradise Point was honestly one of the best parts of our entire wedding experience. I cannot imagine how the day would have gone without him.

From the start, he just made everything feel easier. Wedding planning can get overwhelming fast, but Blake has this calm, steady way about him that makes you feel like everything is handled. And it actually is. He was always on top of things, thinking ahead, and catching details I would have never even considered.

He really listened to what we wanted and made sure it all came together in a way that felt like us. Nothing felt forced or cookie cutter. It felt intentional and smooth the whole way through.

On the actual wedding day, I didn’t have to think about a single thing. I was fully present, having the best time, and not stressed at all. If something went wrong, I have no idea because Blake handled everything quietly and perfectly behind the scenes.

He was also just great to be around. Super kind, easygoing, and someone you actually want in your space on a day like that. Our family and vendors loved him too, which says a lot.

Genuinely, if you’re getting married at Paradise Point, you want Blake. He made our day feel effortless and so, so special, and I’m really grateful we had him.

Event Planner

Beautiful location. Fabulous staff. Friendly and professional. Easy access to ballroom for vendors. I especially enjoyed working with Blake. Blake was available anytime I needed him and all services requested were provided in a timely and efficient manner. Great experience. Also, I should mention that we had a rehearsal dinner and a brunch the day after our big event. They were all successful. In my experience properties attitudes are seen from the upper management approach towards Customer Service. Obviously this property has directed their employees to not only provide great service but to make sure that Client is satisfied and really cares.
The island is very peaceful and tranquil, not to mention its beauty. I highly recommend this property to anyone interested in having a resort style experience in San Diego.

Amazing Experience with Paradise Point

We had the MOST AMAZING experience with Paradise Point and cannot imagine a more perfect wedding in a more perfect place. The venue itself is beautiful, and Sydney's energy and thoughtfulness made such a special impact on our wedding. Our guests had a wonderful weekend and couldn't stop commenting on how wonderful Paradise Point was for families and for couples.

Premier San Diego Wedding Venue

I have been a professional Wedding Planner for 18 years and some of my very favorite weddings have been at Paradise Point. Between their excellent customer service, incredible views and settings, and awesome food and banquets staff -- my clients always have an amazing experience. I appreciate how accommodating their team is... they work hard and go above & beyond to make their weddings the BEST. Blake and Sydney in their Catering Department are experienced, helpful, responsive, and always a pleasure to work with. Thank you Paradise Point for being one of my favorite venues and for giving my clients the weddings of their dreams!

Best wedding venue!

My husband and I can’t thank Sydney and the entire team at Paradise Point enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From start to finish, Sydney made the planning process so fun, stress-free, and seamless. She was incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and truly brought our vision to life. Everything was beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for.
The venue was stunning, the food was amazing, and every staff member we encountered was so friendly and attentive. Our families and friends couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was!
Also, a huge thank you to Andrea and the other gentleman (I’m so sorry I forgot his name!) for helping coordinate our after-party at the Barefoot Bar & Grill. It was such a last-minute decision, but they pulled it off perfectly! I’m so glad we did it—it was the best way to end the night with some good carne asada fries and drinks. Thank you so much for being so kind and accommodating.
We’re beyond grateful for Sydney and the entire Paradise Point team for helping create a day we’ll never forget.

Why Paradise Point Is a Hidden Gem for Couples and Planners

I had the pleasure of working a wedding at Paradise Point a few months ago as the planner, and I was extremely impressed with their entire team. Sydney, on the sales and servicing side, went above and beyond on wedding day. Not only was she always just a phone call away, but she also played the roles of therapist, personal golf cart driver (shuttling the couple wherever they needed to be on a moment’s notice), and all-around cheerleader—keeping the couple smiling and laughing through it all. Whatever we needed, she was right there to support.

Having worked at many wedding venues across San Diego, I can confidently say that Paradise Point continues to impress me. They truly go above and beyond for their couples, all while making the process fun. Even when you feel like you’re asking a million questions, they never make you feel like it’s “too much.” Sydney, in particular, brings such a down-to-earth, approachable energy to every wedding detail, making it easy and comfortable to ask for support—something you don’t always find in an event sales manager.

From both a couple’s perspective and a planner’s perspective, Paradise Point is a hidden gem!

Just Beautiful!!!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at Paradise Point Resort and Spa (Pine Hill location) back in July. It was absolutely beautiful! We worked with Erica before the pandemic started, but it was put on hold as soon as the pandemic hit. We were initially set on their Paradise Terrace location and even waited for venues to open back up again for us to try and secure the venue! During that time, we worked with Maribel, who was great! It turns out the location was having another wedding that day, so Maribel recommended Pine Hill, which we ended up LOVING. The lush greenery landscape was located in a secluded area that helped make our wedding ceremony so intimate! Our guests loved it and our photos turned out so beautiful! We worked with Erica again closer toward the wedding date, and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. She responded super quickly answered all of the questions that we had! We actually rented a bell cart the day of the wedding for our wedding party photos, but to be honest, we probably didn't need it. The Pine Hill location was so beautiful we ended up taking most of our time there and only used the bell cart to take us to a distance we could have just walked to, but with the amazing service we received, we're not even upset about it. We would 1000% recommend Paradise Point for your wedding!

A Long Journey to our Beautiful Wedding

My husband and I had our wedding at Paradise Point. We had quite the journey during our wedding process. We got engaged Summer of 2019 and knew the date we wanted to get married then (on our 10 year anniversary-summer of 2020). We started looking for venues right away. We looked at so many venues, but our heart was set on Paradise Point. Erica was our point of contact at this venue and she was very helpful with answering our questions and requests. We loved that it was right next to the water and felt like it was on its own little island. We were worried we wouldn't be able to afford it, but they were extremely accommodating from the very beginning (pre-Covid) and ensured we would get what we wanted. When Covid hit it caused a lot of stress because we did not want to change our wedding date since it was so important to us. Since Covid shut down the operations of events, dining, and resorts, staff was limited and our communication and point of contact was changed from Erica to Maribel for the time being. As Covid cases started to decrease for the first time things were started to open back up and we were hopeful we could still somehow make our wedding work. Summer of 2020 indoor dining, let alone events, were no longer allowed in San Diego due Covid cases increasing again. We were heartbroken to say the least, but Maribel at Paradise Point was very supportive and understanding. They gave us every option because of these unavoidable circumstances. They offered to give us a full refund or to move our wedding to a later date. After talking/crying through it we decided this date was too important to us to wait any longer. Maribel helped us tremendously through this time and was OK with any decision we made. We decided to have a very small intimate ceremony at Paradise Point outside overlooking the water (not the original location of the ceremony) and to reschedule our big reception a full year later on our 1-year wedding anniversary. Maribel made sure we were happy with our ceremony and comped us the honeymoon suite for the night of our wedding (the most incredible room right on the beach). We had dinner with the few people that came after our intimate ceremony at the Restaurant within the resort, Tidal. Food and service was great! Fast forward to this year Erica was back and helped prepare us for our wedding. She was so friendly and organized. She made sure every detail was what we wanted and was so patient with us. I felt very good about going into our wedding day. We were allowed to set up the day before since they did not have anything else going on in our room, which was a huge relief! Luckily everything worked out and we were able to have a beautiful wedding the way we had originally planned. We got back to our honeymoon suite that was comped again this year and we had a bottle of champagne waiting for us along with a sweet card from Erica and the Paradise Point team. We had such a great experience with this venue even through all of the ups and downs of Covid. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the best wedding with an amazing staff. We would get married every year if we could. Booking with Paradise Point was the best decision.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
