We had the wedding of our dreams at our favorite San Diego landmark. From our first meeting with Lisa the INCREDIBLE wedding coordinator to our first day waking up married, we felt nothing but spoiled. (Let me also add that our wedding was exponentially more affordable than any other venue's events.)
The food was DELICIOUS. (The chef takes great pride in his work, and the presentation and flavors and textures are on point!) The staff were warm and friendly and so happy for us. The space was elegant. The Lafayette really succeeds in walking this line between being very cool and hip and also being extremely warm and friendly. Our friends and family stayed at the hotel and loved it. Our room was perfect, and we were spoiled with congratulations/surprises. I wish we could go back and do it again every year....

Our wedding at The Lafayette was magical. It’s a beautiful yet affordable venue. Our coordinator, Lisa is hands down the most amazing, professional, efficient & meticulous planner. Better yet, she is so personable & fun to be around. We feel extremely lucky to have found. Lisa who made our wedding so perfect. We had only a month to plan & Lisa executed the ceremony & lunch perfectly. We did not have to worry about anything because the moment we think about something, it's already taken care of. She also kept us on track throughout the planning process & also gave helpful opinions & suggestions.
Additionally, all of the staff were very attentive, helpful & welcoming.
We cannot be thankful enough for Lisa & the rest of the hotel staff. We would like for all the couples to have the greatest experience that we both had!

We were so fortunate to have our wedding at The Lafayette!

Like many couples, we were affected by the pandemic. We had originally planned to have our wedding in 2020. We signed an agreement with the Lafayette in 2019. When the pandemic took over, we were forced to reschedule. We had to reschedule multiple times. The Lafayette worked with us the entire time. They stayed in contact with us the whole time.

We were fortunate to set a final date and got married!

The hotel was such a great space for all of our wedding wants and needs. The conservancy is a beautiful ceremony space. It’s very picturesque. The courtyard, where we had our cocktail hour, was set up nicely. The reception hall had ample space for our guests. The food was really tasty. The appetizers were tasty and plentiful along with the dinner buffet. Everyone had their fill of food and drinks. Lastly, the hotel offers several great spaces to take pictures. The hotel has great style.

The hotel accommodations were great! We loved our room. We had several guests stay at the hotel. We were able to book a block of rooms and saved our guests some money.

Lisa and the team at the Lafayette did such an amazing job! Lisa answered all of our questions. She was very prompt and responsive. We always felt that we were in good hands. The front desk staff, the hotel staff, the servers and to the event staff, treated us well. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Choosing the Lafayette for our wedding was a great choice! You should definitely consider them for your wedding. You won’t be disappointed!

Lafayette Staff Members are the absolute BEST!!! We cannot express how grateful we are for how welcoming each staff member throughout the hotel made us, our family, and friends feel so welcome and comfortable during our stay. It truly made it difficult to say goodbye.

Shoutouts to Lisa Kanemori, Mialani, Joseph Taumua, Krystal, Kane, Cass, Shirley, Ed and the entire support staff working this past weekend.

We met with Lisa back in July 2019 to make wedding/reception arrangements at the hotel which was originally set for October 2020. The new hotel owners were kind enough to allow us to postpone for a year due to the pandemic. It has been an unexpected 2 year process that Lisa made sure to keep in constant communication with us to ensure everything was to go as planned. She is very organized and extremely thorough leaving us with little to no questions during the entire experience. Lisa's knowledge of the wedding/reception process was crucial in making everything smooth and effortless.

Mialani was always a ray of sunshine whether it was via emails or in person.

Joseph's welcoming demeanor and kind words were like a warm hug.

Krystal was always more than willing to help out for anything we requested.

Cass made sure everything for our reception and ceremony was set up with professional perfection. Thank you for allowing our family and friends set up and access the room when needed.

Shirley (Aka Auntie Shirley) made sure my wife and I were well fed throughout the evening.

Hope 46 restaurant: Heather, Amy were always attentive. The food provided for our reception received a plethora of kudos from all of our guests. The Halibut Filet constantly received rave reviews. Oh and the beans at breakfast to die for! Our families wanted to take the entire pot home.

The hospitality the hotel staff extended to us and to all of our family and friends was above and beyond anything anyone of us have experienced anywhere else, including from other five star hotels.

Our family, friends, including me and my wife, will definitely be back!

Keep rocking' it! Truly appreciate all the love and care the Lafayette Hotel team extended to our family and friends. If it were up to us, raises for all who worked this weekend!

We love Lafayette. We had our wedding here 2019. The team, venue, and food were amazing. The process was pretty easy and they’re super flexible. So much was included in their packages for the most part I feel like I just has to show up. 2020 we had our baby shower a month before the pandemic. Once again they work with our budget and allowed us the freedom to make the shower what we want. Lafayette will always have a special place in our heart.

Lisa, Kara and team were absolutely fantastic! Aside from being incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful they were extremely professional with all the details. Their patience and genuine care for us was overwhelming during such a busy and hectic time for us. We wouldn't have changed any part of our special day and thanks to the this team and the Lafayette family we had a beautiful wedding. If you have not yet been inside this gorgeous venue I highly recommend doing so. It is unique and charming and our family loved it! We feel so lucky to have had so many people we love share this moment in a place with so much history. Thank you for being a part of our day of love 💕

Lisa and the entire staff at Lafayette made us feel at home. They are awesome people who were attentive and provided us the perfect experience

We got married here in September amidst the state’s strict COVID regulations which made it a bit different then we had planned but Lisa and Tawn Lee made sure to help us in any way possible so that our day would still turn out perfect! We were able to have a beautiful ceremony in the conservatory and it was nothing short of magical! After the ceremony we took the most beautiful photos in front of the hotel with the brick and pillars and it gave such a classic and romantic feel to our photos.

The Lafayette was the most beautiful and perfect venue we could have asked for. We didn't have a specific aesthetic laid out for our wedding, so when we found the Lafayette we loved the idea of building around the beautiful space. There's already so much personality within the walls of the hotel that it didn't need a ton of work from us! Lisa was amazing to work with during the almost 1.5 year planning process. She was quick to answer any questions and was always helpful in filling any request we had. As we got closer to the wedding we also worked with Gillian who was just as upbeat and hardworking! They both helped our wedding to run so smoothly. We took over multiple parts of the hotel for the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as many rooms for our guests. We got so many compliments from our friends and family staying there! Then the weekend of the wedding we used the complimentary wedding suite as our getting ready room and had a TON of space. Overall it made for a beautiful wedding we will never forget.
