Moonlight Memories: 5.1.25 - Encinitas, CA

Jacquelyn was an absolute dream to work with for our May 1, 2025, wedding at Moonlight Beach Overlook! From the moment we booked the $9,500 all-inclusive package, she took charge with professionalism and warmth, making the planning process seamless and stress-free. She coordinated every detail—vendors, décor, timeline, and more—with such care that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The ceremony and reception were beautifully executed, with the décor perfectly matching our Moonlight theme and vision. Jacquelyn’s communication was prompt, and her suggestions, like ensuring a backup microphone for the oceanfront ceremony, were spot-on. She truly went above and beyond, making our day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Jacquelyn to any couple looking for a coordinator who I believe is now our trusted friend!

Jacquelyn Mendoza

Amazing wedding planner!
Jacquelyn was precise in many little details, the flowers, the decorations of the restaurant and ceremony venue. Also the choice of photographer, DJ, cake, flower companies etc... During the planning process Jacquelyn often touched basis with me just to make sure all was going as planned. I felt so comfortable with her planning and ideas that I just let it flow. I also felt that the cost was fair due the amount of work she put into planning my wedding. Therefore, I definitely recommend San Diego Wedding Destinations. Furthermore, I am very pleased and grateful not only for the amount of work Jacquelyn put into my wedding, but also her professionalism, ethics and caring nature! Jacquelyn puts her heart into her work a combination recipe to success! Thank you Jacquelyn.

Absolutely Amazing!

Jacquelyn & Jamila were absolutely the best dynamic duo! they both displayed plenty of knowledge, patience, support, & comfort that my wedding on Coronado's South Beach would be my Brides best day ever! Jacquelyn was very polite/understanding and Jamila flat-out did her thang with catering to my Bride to make sure she had everything she needed, from recommended a great hair stylist and knew how to pull it all together with the rehearsal and special day. There weren't any hic-ups or delays, the wedding was on point! The photographer was also amazing and the sunset was perfect. Overall, it was one definitely for the books and I would recommend San Diego Destination Weddings thank you Jacquelyn & Jamila!

Seamless and beautiful

As our-of-towners planning a micro beach destination wedding, we needed help navigating the details and San Diego Destination Weddings came through! Jamila was wonderful and made the day run completely smoothly. The flowers were exactly what I’d asked for and the music was on point. They were flexible with us as we tried to make our special day work amid COVID. So happy!

Memorable Intimate Wedding

Our original wedding date was scheduled for August 22, 2020 but with covid restrictions, we had to reschedule & relocate. Jacquelyn and her team were flexible by accommodating to our changing needs and the current circumstances. Our micro wedding was even better than what we imagined it to be. Our small intimate group with just family was very memorable & sweet. It was the best day of our lives and we have Jacquelyn for helping to make our special day happen for us. Much love and appreciation goes out to Jacquelyn, Jamila, Pastor Chris, and Robert!

Amazing beautiful beach wedding

I always knew that if I was going to be married it would have to be on the beach. I called SDDW knowing absolutely nothing about how to plan a wedding, I just knew it had to be on the beach on a Saturday. Jamila then contacted me soon after I signed the contract and made my dream happen. She helped me choose the right flowers, the right cake (even helped come up with an awesome wave/starfish design), the right decorations, ensured we had talked to the pastor, and made sure everything was smooth and perfect for a very reasonable price. The only thing we had to do was choose the songs, help our bridesmaids and groomsmen choose their outfits, and write our vows. She literally took care of everything else and whenever I had a question she would respond almost immediately. She even sent me pictures of the ceremony set-up and the beatiful ocean as I was anxiously getting ready. I was truly blown away by the experience and will happily recommend her to anyone who wants the perfect beach wedding in San Diego. SDDW truly cares about what they do and want you to walk away feeling like your perfect wedding dream came true. It definelty did for me, and I'm sure it will for anyone they take under their wing.

Special day made stress free and beautiful

Jacquelyn made our special day run very smoothly. We did not have to worry about anything and could just focus on enjoying the day. Initially we had some misunderstandings but through good communication with Jacquelyn despite a long distance and 10 hours time difference (we live in Europe), Jacquelyn managed to make a stressful wedding preparation experience far more pleasant. On the actual day Jacquelyn went extra mile to help my family set up their surprises for us. She made sure we had our food on the day (very sweet of her!) and let us know in advance when we were running close to our budget for alcohol. After the wedding, when we had an issue with number of photos included in our package with photographer, she spoke on our behalf with photographer to make sure we are happy. Thank you so much Jacquelyn for making our special day stress free and very special as well as events before and after! Hugs from Europe.

Our Special Day With San Diego Destination Weddings

From the first conversation I had with Jacquelyn about planning our wedding in La Jolla, I knew I was making the right choice. I love that I was able to customize every little detail of our small beach wedding and working with Jamila over the months before our wedding was amazing. Jamila is a fabulous wedding planner and understands the emotional needs of a soon to be bride as well as the attention to detail. We were blessed with the most beautiful wedding I could have asked for. We felt cared for by both Jamila and Jacquelyn and we couldn't have been more happy about the way everything turned out. Dream come true!

Seamless Coordination on Day-Of

I am from San Diego, but my now-husband and I live in New York. Since we were looking at planning a wedding remotely, we decided it made sense to use a wedding coordinator to help us plan and realize our wedding. Jacquelyn and Jamila focused on the big-picture items (venue, DJ, photographers, flowers, cake, timeline, etc.), while we were able to focus on the details. I sent Jamila pictures of how I wanted things to be arranged and the day-of, she and her assistant set everything up. Everything looked exactly how we envisioned. Weddings can be stressful, but SDDW alleviated that stress and let us focus on our day.

Fabulous!

Jamila was amazing! She took care of every detail on our big day so that we could relax and be fully present with each other, family and friends. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything Jamila did to make our day so memorable and special. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
