If you are looking for a wedding venue that makes you feel like a Rockstar for your bigest day of your life. Please do not overlook the Hard Rock Hotel. Contemporary Awesome Rock and Roll wedding like you cannot imagin. None of that frilly, prissy, girlly stuff.

We are so happy we chose the Hard Rock Hotel! From our very first visit we knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding. We just love everything Hard Rock! After our initial consultation we were convinced they had everything to suit our needs. The hotel is modern, edgy and all about music!

The food was very good. Not a single person complained about anything which was awesome! We got to choose two meat entrees and there was also a vegetarian option available. Everything was yummy and filling! During our tasting I wasn’t really happy with the chicken entrée I initially chose, so the chef offered to make something a little different which ended up being perfect. The alcohol and food prices are a bit high, but that was not unexpected for a hotel in downtown San Diego. You do have to use the in house catering which might be an inconvenience for some but was perfect for us.

One minor inconvenience we encountered is in order to use Elevation you must rent both the suites connected to that area. It ended up working out well for us, but was a tough pill to swallow initially. Also, parking is pretty high so we suggested our guests be on the look out for other options.

Our consultant/catering manger, Erin Rudolf, was just awesome to work with! I’m so glad we had her to help us through the contracts and details. She was very honest and forthcoming about all the services and associated fees. Overall the Hard Rock staff was very accommodating and super nice to work with. Everyone had a phenomenal time! Best night of our lives!

The Hard Rock was great, once we got an event planner. The first one we were contracted by disappeared, and I had to call for weeks to get my Save-The-Dates in time to send them to my international guests. They are like a blank canvas, allowing you to create your dream. They accommodated lots of little extras we wanted, like a changing room for Storm Troopers.
My biggest problem was with food service.They cleared plates without checking to see if people were done and almost a third of my guests didn't get cake because they were dancing and the crew cleared untouched plates. The food was not very good at the wedding. It was amazing at the tasting, though. My risotto was burnt.
So, since you have to get the food through them, I was not happy, especially since I paid $125 a head.
If you want fun atmosphere and a great experience, check it out. Just don't expect the food on the day of your event to match the tasting.
