Originally built in 1927, this unique locale features gorgeous Spanish architecture and sits on a half-acre property with INCREDIBLE ocean views. It is also part of the well-known Sunset Cliffs Neighborhood of Point Loma, an idyllic location for celebratory occasions. Approximately 10 miles from Downtown San Diego and only 4 miles from the airport, it is conveniently situated for both your local and out-of-town guests.

You can welcome up to 150 of your nearest and dearest at The Thursday Club. As the aisle beckons, your guests will gather for the ceremony outside in the enchanting gardens. Follow the winding paths to a secluded site where you exchange vows in view of breathtaking Pacific Ocean vistas. Once you have officially tied the knot, make your way to the clubhouse for a memorable reception celebration. Gorgeous from exterior to interior, this opulent building features distinctive furnishings like the classic hardwood floors and stained glass windows. Original elements such as the chandeliers and crown moldings instill a sense of old-world elegance in the venue’s unique ambiance.

Furniture, including tables and chairs for your ceremony and reception, is accessible on-site for maximum convenience. A list of approved caterers will be provided, allowing you to choose a high-quality purveyor with little to no stress involved.

Beautiful venue with stunning views

The Thursday Club is such a beautiful venue, I knew as soon as we toured and walked onto the balcony that it was the perfect place for us. Our guests are still raving about the views. I love that the builing is now over 100 years old too, it has a really nice charm to it. Even the drive once you turn onto Santa Barbara Drive is stunning. We drive by the venue every once in a while just to reminisce and admire it honestly! The icing on the cake was Chris, he was great with communicating and helped make our day go by so smoothly! I was initially worried about the 9pm end time, but it actually turned out to be perfect. We had planned an afterparty, but only a select few went anyway. We added the additional hour at the beginning and I wouldn't have had it any other way! Could not recommend enough! If you get the chance to attend one of their open houses, I also recommend that, it was so much fun getting to see some of the vendors and just to get to hang out there with a cocktail on the balcony of get a sneak peak of what it might be like for our guests.

A Day to Remember!

We had a wonderful time at the Thursday Club! It was such a special and beautiful place to get married, and we truly can’t imagine having done it anywhere else.

The view was absolutely incredible and perfectly captured what we love so much about San Diego. Getting married in a garden with sunny skies and the blue ocean in the background felt magical. Our guests were comfortably seated outside for the ceremony, and walking down the aisle with that picturesque view is something we’ll never forget. The space worked so well for the reception too, from the outdoor bar to the ample dance floor, along with the beautiful Spanish-inspired touches throughout the venue.

Chris was such a delight to work with and incredibly responsive. Our food vendor came from the venue’s recommended list, and all of our other vendors had worked at the Thursday Club before and knew exactly how to design an amazing wedding day and get the best out of the space. On the day we first toured the venue, we even happened to run into the wedding coordinator we eventually worked with, which felt so serendipitous. We truly can’t imagine our wedding without her!

Our wedding was both touching and a party, which is exactly what we wanted, and the Thursday Club was the perfect place to bring that to life! We feel so lucky to have celebrated such an important day there and can’t recommend it enough!!

Timelessly Elegant Venue with a Picturesque Garden and Ocean Views

After an exhaustive search of 20+ venues, we were losing hope in finding the perfect quality venue within our budget until we found the Thursday Club. The Thursday Club was the perfect match that aligned with our vision and budget. The venue's scenic views, well-kept gardens, and timeless charm, including elegant architecture and vintage details, left us enchanted. We knew instantly that this picturesque setting was where we wanted to exchange our vows. It was the only venue that made us emotional during our visits.

During our venue tour, we were charmed by little Debbie, a friendly neighborhood cat known to attend many weddings, adding an extra touch of charm to our experience. Being near Sunset Cliffs enabled us to have a stunning first look and memorable photoshoot against the ocean backdrop, creating cherished memories.

The venue's rich history as a women's club with philanthropic values resonated with us. The reception area, with a separate dance floor next to ocean view windows, was perfect for our celebration. It also offered comfortable lounging areas for our older guests and those who wanted a quiet area to have intimate conversations.

Chris, the venue manager, was exceptional, guiding us through every step with professionalism and kindness. Quick email responses and seamless vendor communication made the planning process much smoother. Tools like "All Seated" helped us design our setup, and Chris allowed multiple visits for measurements for our DIY projects. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue manager and stood out to us as a consummate professional.

Looking back on our special day, we are incredibly grateful that choosing The Thursday Club was the perfect decision for us. Its charm, value, and exceptional manager make it a gem in San Diego's wedding scene. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to our friends and family.

Absolutely Perfect

t's been a month since we got married at The Thursday Club, and we are still receiving compliments about what a wonderful venue it was. You get the beach/ocean view without the sand, and a gorgeous garden but still with an indoor reception area. This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and Chris is so wonderful to work with. This venue did not disappoint and we are so happy we picked it.

Stunning and special venue!

The Thursday Club is simply stunning and Chris is a dream to work with. We were so pleased with our experience and grateful for the eternal memories! We started the planning process from overseas and Chris was extremely accommodating with a FT tour, and provided detailed and clear information. He was wonderful to work with from start to end! The venue itself is picturesque, located in a quiet Point Loma neighborhood, with jaw dropping views from all around. Our guests loved the patios, especially at sunset. The garden area coupled with the unique building architecture is gorgeous, perfect for photos. Truly a special place! Thank you for everything, Chris!

Gorgeous Venue

The Thursday Club is beautiful inside and out! Chris is fantastic, friendly, professional and super helpful. Our guests LOVED the venue and it was so great to have multiple places for guests to hang out both inside and out. With the beautiful gardens and balconies and fabulous sunset, so many of our guests updated their profile pix that night with photos. We were concerned with the requirement to end at 9p but that ended up being a blessing in disguise. The timing was perfect for us. We were able to enjoy our wedding night and guests hit the town for after parties. While most said it was the funnest wedding they’ve attended, not one person complained about the end time.

Beautiful Location

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at The Thursday Club, and it was amazing. The garden setting with the ocean views was so beautiful. Then, having everyone just walk up a few steps to the hall for happy hour and the reception was so easy! The hall is beautiful, and had multiple spaces for people to hang out in. The patios with views of the coast line up to La Jolla was just amazing. Chris was so great to work with. It really made for an amazing setting for our wedding.

All Around Perfection

We had our wedding at The Thursday Club at the end of March and wow - it was incredible! The building is rich in history, the garden is lush with foliage and the ocean views are breathtaking. All of our guests raved over the beauty of the property. Chris was such a pleasure to work with! He was attentive and kind at every meeting and in each email. He made us feel super comfortable and taken care of. Our day was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have picked a better venue!

Beautiful and affordable venue in San Diego

We had *such* a wonderful experience having our wedding at the Thursday Club! The venue is so gorgeous inside and in the garden. Chris, the manager, was so helpful and generous through the several months leading to the wedding. He patiently answered our many questions, multiple site visits, and requests. He was very flexible and helpful. Throughout the reception and ceremony he was communicative, even brought the bridal party water, etc. We had such a lovely time and 10/10 would get married there again and recommend to others.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
