Julie L. Sent on 11/08/2022Amazing Venue, Guest Experience, and Service!
Coronado Cays Yacht Club was the best choice we made for our wedding in August. Dan was collaborative and responsive throughout the planning process. When the big day finally arrived, we couldn't have asked for better service and support. Our guests raved about the food, the views, and everything that the Club had to offer! CCYC allows you a ton of freedom to plan exactly the wedding that you want, from decor to drink options- they are extremely helpful and flexible. We couldn't have been happier with our day at CCYC and can't recommend them more highly! -

Waterfront views, amazing food and hospitable staff
This is the BEST wedding venue in San Diego. Superior location, amazing staff, great views and good vibes. My husband and I knew we wanted to capture the best of San Diego for our guests and we know that we would accomplish that goal, and more, at the CCYC. Dan is so easy to work with—he’s flexible, understanding and is committed to making sure you and your guests have a great time. You can truly build the wedding of your dreams at the Coronado Cays—you can customize the decorations, the food, the bar, and the floor plan. So many of our guests commented that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! I’ve never seen a bigger piece of steak served at a banquet. We wouldn’t change a thing about our big day and are so happy that we chose the CCYC as our venue. I can’t wait to attend or host another event at the Cays. Also, huge shout out to their wait staff. They went out of their way to make sure the day was special and that we were well fed and hydrated. Their hospitality didn’t go unnoticed! -

Fantastic wedding at the Cays
We highly recommend!! From our first visit to tastings to bringing decor in the day before, CCYC was incredibly helpful and responsive. The manager, Dan, helped us every step of the way and was gracious when our plans changed. The staff accommodated all our requests up to our wedding day. The day itself was perfect. The view is unmatched and Jose the bartender was fantastic!! -

Abigail S. Sent on 11/27/2020Incredible Staff and Beautiful Venue for a Reception
Worked with Dan to plan our May 2020 wedding reception here. Unfortunately COVID hit, and we did not know when we would be holding our wedding. During the whole process of and planning from across the country, Dan was responsive and incredible helpful. We walked through the space a couple of times when I was able to visit San Diego, and had a food tasting. He and Chef Lily were able to accommodate our menu selections which were not their regular fare. I would highly recommend visiting Coronado Cays Yacht Club as an unconventional wedding venue with tons of space and ample room to let your creativity go wild. One of the things that drew us to the venue was the beautiful scenery (tons of places to take photos), the amenities (games and activities for all family members), and CCYC's flexibility. We look forward to hosting an anniversary party here in the future. -

Perfect venue for a wedding
Whitney and Ryan's wedding on April 27, 2019 couldn't have been more perfect! We fell in love with Coronado Cays Yacht Club on our first visit and are absolutely thrilled with the way the wedding turned out! It was so beautiful and special and we received many compliments from our guests on the location, delicious food and wonderful staff. Dan, the catering manager, Marc the bartender and all the other staff were just fantastic. Everyone is very professional and also friendly and makes you feel welcome. It's a perfect venue for a wedding!!! -

My husband and I got married in October 2019 at the Corondao Cays Yacht Club and it was an amazing experience. The venue is not far from perfect. Obviously the location is great-right on the San Diego Bay with a view of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. The food is wonderful! The portions are giant and all of our guests raved about the food being really yummy. One of the best things about this venue is the General Manager, Dan Parker. He runs the show and is an absolute gem to work with. He's a great communicator. My husband and I were engaged for 2 years and booked the venue a few months after we were engaged, so Dan had to deal with all my questions for 2 years....really nice guy. I arrived to the ceremony by boat, I wanted a disco ball, I wanted a temporary tattoo station and needed to rearrange the layout for the table, my husband and I wanted a keg of craft beer from the central coast, we wanted a tub of beer for people to take a beer with them to their seat for the ceremony...so many things I was able to customize and Dan had no issue at all helping make it happen. This is one of the only venues I know that has an 11 pm curfew. That was something important to me as I knew the dance party would still be kickin' around 10. I got ready at a different location, but we were able to use the bridal suite as a storage room for all the decorations the weekend of the wedding. That was convenient and helpful. Most of the wait-staff is super friendly, and it was just an overall great experience having our wedding here.

Holly Sent on 08/01/2019Breathtaking Venue - A MUST
This venue is stunning. It is seated in Coronado and nested up against the bay. The grassy ceremony site overlooks the water, the cocktail hour area has an amazing water view and the rounded reception room feels so magical. Dan, the on-site coordinator is so kind and accommodating. He truly loves weddings and making couples dreams come true. THE FOOD IS AMAZING AND INCLUDED WITH THE VENUE. There are awesome places to go to take pictures as well, such as a park, dock, and someone even let us go onto their yacht! Everything is amazing about this venue, you will fall in love with it the moment you get there. You will not have a single regret. -

Britney Sent on 03/21/2019The very BEST Venue/Staff Package you could find!
My husband and I just got married last week at CCYC and had the most amazing experience ever. Dan has worked with us for over a year and hands down is the best event planner there is. He is diligent, responsive, flexible and SO kind! The staff at the venue did an amazing job setting up and serving our guests, we are so thankful for them as well. Besides the scenery outside which is breathtaking, the inside has much to offer as well. The high chandeliers, the space, the dance floor, the big bar area, it all makes the perfect venue! -

Miko R. Sent on 10/18/2018We had a Magical Day at CYCC
Dan Parker is the guy that makes everything fall into place. He is cheerful, informative, patient, and is very clear about what his venue offers and what it does not. He is the reason we considered this venue when we visited the Bridal Bazaar more than a year in advance of the wedding because he not only pointed out the wonderful things about the yacht club, but opened our eyes to potential problems that could crop up on the week or day of event (we were clueless), and had a pocketful of solutions to make it all run smoothly.
Things we loved about this venue include the waterfront ceremony, the beautiful dining room for the reception, being able to have the ceremony AND the reception in one place, ample parking, a "bridal suite" with floor to ceiling mirrors for all the young ladies to get ready in, a room for the guys to prepare in, also, and a heated outdoor patio complete with waterfront seating, beautiful lighting, and propane fire pits to keep everyone warm in the evening.
One price covered ample (indoor & outdoor) seating, an arch for the ceremony, all the table linens (in a wide choice of colors), and their staff to move all the outdoor seating indoors in case of rain (they have two wonderful contingency plans in case of rain). For $750 extra, they have an upgrade package for the venue that included hanging chandeliers in the dining room and adding seat covers for all the chairs in the dining area. We opted for it and it truly elevated the feeling of the reception.
I cannot emphasize enough how accommodating CCYC was to our every need and want. Can we bring in our own lighting and AV gear? Sure! Can the bride have a special Sangria made to serve the guests? No problem. Can we add more draping and turn the venue into a nightclub? Of course!
And can I tell you? The food is just incredible. They have a wonderful menu and even added a vegan option for our guests. For hors d'oeuvres the guests couldn't get over the delicious coconut shrimp and the beautifully served baguette crisps and artichoke dip. The ribeye were grilled perfectly for dinner, and their herb stuffed chicken was a feast for the eyes as well as the bellies.
They do offer more budget friendly options as well.
Not a single guest or member of the wedding party had anything negative to say about the event or the venue. We are incredibly grateful to Dan and his staff for making this day beautiful and memorable.Coronado Cays Yacht Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Miko!
It was such a pleasure to work with you for throughout the planning stages of the big day. You have an amazing daughter and new son-in-law, and it's clear that they are surrounded by a lot love!
Please don't be a stranger!

Theresa Sent on 10/23/2018Beautiful venue & views
I cannot sing the praises of Dan, Chef Liliana, Pedro and the entire staff enough!!
We had our wedding here this month. All of our guests loved the venue and the food! All of the staff were sooo great not only to my husband & myself, but to all our family & friends.
From the moment I met with Dan and Liliana earlier this year I knew I was in great hands.
Dan communicated all details and was responsive to my many emails / calls (sorry about that). We had some last minute sound issues with our DJ & Dan stepped in to assist & issue was solved. This honestly saved my sanity the day before the wedding. Dan also ensured that my father & his BFF had their favorite non alcoholic beverage stocked at the bar. They were both appreciative.
Chef Liliana worked with us to create & personalize our menu to reflect both our cultures. She did an excellent job & received stamps of approval from all. We really enjoyed the tasting make sure you come hungry when you schedule yours. Everyone was stuffed during ours.
I met Pedro the day of my wedding. He was sooo helpful and courteous & had the best attitude. Everything was setup beautifully.
We decided to keep the patio setup with tables, chairs, sofa during cocktail hour & reception. I looked at the pictures and loved how our family & friends were relaxing by the water or getting air after dancing.
We looked at several venues (8-10 ) and when I found CCYC & drove down the same day to see for myself , I could not wait to get info & details. I was in luck that Dan was there with another couple & I scheduled my meeting the following Monday. Beyond happy I did!!
Thank you all for an unforgettable life changing day!!!Coronado Cays Yacht Club's reply:
Hi Theresa & Alex,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you stuck around while I was with the other couple that day.
What a year it has been, and all culminated on that amazing day - October 6th! We all miss you a lot, so come see us again sometime! How about a photo under the arch on your 1 year anniversary?! we'll figure it out.
So glad you had an amazing time on your honeymoon too!
See you soon,
Dan
