La Jolla Cove Rooftop by Wedgewood Weddings Reviews

La Jolla Cove Rooftop is a gorgeous venue with some of the best views in San Diego, but the photos can show you that. What isn’t immediately known, but becomes obvious, is how great of a venue it is because of the people who work there.

My husband and I booked our wedding at La Jolla Cove Rooftop over two years in advance from our wedding day. We spent that time fully customizing our day, including DIYing most of our decor. We were able to access the venue at any time we wanted, whether to check measurements or show it off to family visiting from out of town. They took care of all the bigger vendors (bakery, florist, DJ) so we could focus on the details that mattered to us. Even then, their hand selected vendors were fully customizable to us and brought our vision to life.

Bree was the coordinator we met with throughout the process, and she was always so warm and so enthusiastic about our vision. She had many couples of her own, but when we showed up for rehearsal day, Bree still remembered us, gave us a big hug and was ecstatic about our day. Robert was our coordinator for the last meeting, rehearsal and wedding day. We couldn’t have had such a beautiful day without him.

Immediately, Robert understood who we were as a couple and was extremely keyed in to all the little things we had worked on the last 2+ years. We felt extremely comfortable putting our vision in his hands, and he became a very trusted partner quickly. When it became clear that we would have to move to a rain contingency plan, changing the vision of our wedding day we had for years, Robert was available to us to answer questions, quickly come up with a plan and comfort us through the anxiety of changing everything at the last minute. On wedding day, when the rain got the best of me, Robert was the one to give me a hug and let me process my emotions before our ceremony.

The day was absolutely perfect thanks to Robert and team. All of our guests have told us what a great experience they had, and that they even liked being under the pavilion all together more because it gave the wedding an intimate feel. Even with the quick changes, all the important details were included and executed well. Our parents felt cared for by Robert during the whole process as well, he went out of his way to ensure their needs were attended to and they felt important. When Robert left for the night, Esteban and the rest of the team stepped in to take great care of us. Esteban even kindly helped me put my (very rain soaked) dress into a trash bag once the dance floor started so I could change into something more comfortable. At the end of the night, they had no problem kicking out our guests so we could have a private last dance.

Shout out to everyone at La Jolla Cove Rooftop for making our wedding day exceptional, even with the weather throwing a wrench into the plans. We will never forget the kindness, warmth and love shown to us on the most important day of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts: Robert, Bree, Esteban, Garrett, Alijah, Haley, Jesse, Riley, Yvett, Chase, Jhan, Corina, Elizabeth, Jenna and Katelyn!

My dream wedding at my dream venue! We are still reminiscing about our beautiful day and it’s now December. We still get stopped in the street by people talking about how beautiful it was. I can’t thank the Wedgwood staff enough especially Elizabeth she made sure all my wishes and everything I was on the fence about came out perfect. Our wedding was a destination wedding so putting my trust into someone was very nerve wrecking but I would do it all over again! Just to relive that beautiful night!
Anyone who isn’t sure if Wedgwood is right for them or if the La Jolla cove top location is right… IT IS YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT! Unless you don’t go with them :)

La Jolla Cove Rooftop by Wedgewood Weddings was the best decision for our magical day!! The whole team at Wedgewood went above and beyond from the beginning to get us prepared and feel comfortable using them to plan our wedding at the rooftop. In particular, Jenna, our coordinator with Wedgewood was absolutely awesome!! She made me feel so comfortable that our wedding day was going to go perfect and I completely trusted her. She executed our vision exactly how I dreamed and I couldn't have asked for a better planner! As expected, uncontrollable things came up during the wedding day and she handled and navigated these issues like a pro. Katelyn also helped Jenna the day of and handled one of our pre-meetings and did wonderful as well. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Our wedding was everything I dreamed of thanks to this awesome venue and wonderful Wedgewood team!!

The team at La Jolla Cove Rooftop by Wedgewood Weddings was absolutely incredible to work with. From our very first interaction, Sava and Elizabeth were concise, clear, helpful, and kind in their communication style. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our special day was perfect was truly outstanding. Sava and Elizabeth made sure we always had drinks and food, and frequently checked in with us to guarantee everything was running smoothly. They were so kind to everyone and did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about everything we needed to know, all while maintaining a stress-free night for us. The venue itself was breathtaking - the views of the cove were absolutely beautiful. We are so grateful to the La Jolla Cove Rooftop team for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. THANK YOU SAVA & ELIZABETH

My now husband and I only toured a couple of venues before landing on La Jolla Cove Rooftop. From the moment we walked onto the rooftop, we knew this was going to be our wedding venue. The views are truly unbeatable and if you are hosting out-of-towners, this venue is the most perfect spot at showcasing the beautiful La Jolla Cove beach.

From beginning to end, our experience with the Wedgewood Planning Team was amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful throughout the ENTIRE process, from the first day we toured the venue to the morning after our wedding (our day-of coordinator Elizabeth was so sweet to hold onto some items we left at the venue the night before and made sure I got them back the next morning!). As I'm sure many brides can attest to, getting timely responses back is so important during the wedding planning process - I was constantly impressed with how quickly the Wedgewood Planning team would respond to me and how knowledgeable everyone was. A special thanks to Robert and Corina for holding our Details/Planning meetings and a huge thank you to Elizabeth and Fede for being the BEST day-of coordinator and banquet captain - they made our wedding day unforgettable!

As for the venue, the views truly can't be beat. If you love the SD beaches, this is THE venue! The Wedgewood venue itself is amazing and offered so many services (some were included in our Elite package, some were upgrades), including photobooth, lawn games, late night snacks, grand sparklers, and some decor items (votives, plate chargers, table numbers). Since it is a beach venue, parking is probably the biggest downside as guests will have to pay for parking either at the hotel (if they are staying there) or at a nearby parking garage. The venue is still relatively new so everything was in great shape although keep in mind that since it is primarily used for its beautiful outdoor area, there isn't a lot of indoor space so have a plan B for rain!!!

Regarding the "all-inclusive" packages, florals, cake, and DJ services are contracted out to third parties so you don't get to select who you work with. Even though all the vendors were great, there were some limitations (couldn't do DIY florals if you used the included floral vendor, could only choose from limited cake options, and other options/designs would be paid upgrades contracted separately with the vendor and not with WW, etc).

Lastly, the venue is on top of the La Jolla Cove Hotel so it is likely you and your guests will be staying at the hotel the night before and night of your wedding. Book early and reserve your room! We had the room both the night before and night of our wedding but we noticed there were also weddings both the day before and after our wedding so I don't know where the brides/grooms stayed or got ready. If you need room blocks, you'll work with the La Jolla Cove hotel directly to set those up.

La Jolla Cove and this venue will always have a special place in my heart and I can't say enough good things about them! We had the best wedding here and cannot recommend them enough!

La Jolla Cove Rooftop was the very first venue we visited—and the moment we saw it, we fell in love. Every venue we looked at afterward was compared to it, and nothing quite measured up. We knew it was the perfect place for our wedding, and it absolutely lived up to everything we hoped for and more.

One of the best parts of working with Wedgewood Weddings was the all-inclusive package. It made planning so much easier and took a huge amount of stress off our plates. Everything felt streamlined and organized from the start, which allowed us to actually enjoy the process!

A special shoutout goes to our incredible wedding coordinator, Katelyn. She was so kind, calm, and professional—thanks to her, our big day went off without a hitch. We also want to give heartfelt thanks to Sava, our amazing banquet captain, who made sure we were always well fed and hydrated throughout the reception (no easy feat with how fast the day flew by!).

We’re also so grateful to Corina, Emma, Elizabeth, Katelyn, and Robert for answering every question—big or small—with patience, clarity, and warmth. They truly made us feel supported at every step.

If you’re considering La Jolla Cove Rooftop for your wedding—don’t hesitate. The views, the team, and the experience are all absolutely top-notch. We’re so thankful we chose this venue for one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

We can't thank Wedgewood Weddings at La Jolla Cove (especially Elizabeth) enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! From start to finish, they went above and beyond, making us feel completely comfortable and as stress-free as possible. Elizabeth and the team understood our vision and brought it to life in the most magical way. We enjoyed every moment and our guests are STILL raving about the event. If you want a team that truly cares about making your dream wedding day come true, book them. SO MUCH bang for your buck!

Constant and consistent communication from the planning team, delicious food, fantastic bartenders, great DJ and overall very responsive vendors.

Wonderful place for large events. Good catering and very friendly and professional staff. Several options for gatherings and clean facilities. Of course, the amazing views.

The Wedgewood Team was super helpful throughout the planning process, especially when we were planning from afar! They were very accommodating with any requests we had, super detailed and thorough in our planning meetings, and fantastic execution on our wedding day! We highly recommend working with our team at La Jolla Cove Rooftop!

Stunning remodeled rooftop. We just had our event there and we couldn't have asked for a better location. Venue included lounge furniture, fireplaces, and the prettiest covered pergola awning. Alma and her team were so great to work with. Super accommodating and flexible, which is great for wedding days.

Beautiful venue for our wedding! We got married Spring of 2022 and had a wonderful evening with our guests on the rooftop overlooking the La Jolla Cove! Thank you so much to Ann Marie and Kristina for their professionalism, great attitudes, and help putting together an event to remember!

We were so happy with this venue! All we wanted was to be by the beach with full ocean views, and with privacy during our ceremony and reception. This venue provided both! At first glance from street view, we almost overlooked it due to the fact that it is an older hotel, but don't let the first glance fool you! Once you get to the very spacious rooftop with full ocean views for both your ceremony and reception, you will be sold!! It is right across the street from La Jolla Cove as well. Parking is only for guests staying at the hotel, but there is a parking garage within walking distance for the guests. Our contact, Patricia Johnson, was amazing throughout the entire planning process. I would highly recommend getting married here!

Most BEAUTIFUL scenery for a ceremony venue. If you want to have an ocean backdrop but do not want to have sand on your dress this IS the place for you. The actual hotel is not 5 star but the rooftop view is just breathtaking!

I am in love with this venue and its staff and I am still a few months away from the wedding! Tracy is amazing at her job, she is responsive and very helpful. She has been the main contact for me and I have no complaints so far. The venue itself is beautiful and they just repainted the rooftop and got new tables and chairs. I know the guests at our wedding are going to appreciate the location and the view.

La Jolla Cove Suites is absolutely magical. We could not have found a more perfect location to get married. We wanted a beach wedding, without the sand and this place did not disappoint. It provides 180 degree panoramic view of beautiful La Jolla ocean. You are so close you can hear the seals barking. Plus, we were able to use all the amazing spots around the hotel for pictures, including walking down to the beach.
The staff was absolutely amazing and worked so hard to make our vision a reality. They were professional and really made us feel incredibly special. Joy in particular was a life saver throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was so organized really catered to all our needs. She is so knowledgable of what we would need and thought of all the little details we never would remember. She also is so great with communication and always gets back to you SUPER fast, which I definitely appreciated. I highly recommend the bridal suite as well...it was a great place to get ready with all the bridesmaids. Most of our wedding party came from out of town and all we heard about was how great the wedding was. Over half our friends changed their facebook profile pic to one from the venue! That's how you know it is good! Overall, two thumbs up and we already can't wait to go back to celebrate our one year anniversary!

There is nowhere else in San Diego like this. The view is amazing. It was the perfect setting. Tracy & Joy went above & beyond to help make everything perfect. They always had time to help & answer my questions, & I had a million. Things couldn't have gone better or been more beautiful.

Thank you for making our wedding such an amazing experience. You were our first and only choice.

We really enjoyed our wedding reception at The Rooftop at La Jolla Cove by Wedgewood. The views and location is unmatched. You have gorgeous views of the entire cove. At sunset we popped across the street to take some romantic photos, while our guests ate. We stayed at the hotel, which made getting ready easy but we didn’t book through the hotel (we instead found the shores suite for only $500 per night on a third party app, while not the penthouse it’s the same size and it was half the price so worth looking into)! From the beginning we worked with Elizabeth and she made our day truly special. The planning process is guided which makes it a lot easier. We had our ceremony off property at the Wedding Bowl and I almost wished we had worked with Wedgewood as the reception went off without a hitch. We worked with all the Wedgewood vendors besides florals. The cake was delicious from Sugarbear and our DJ Sean did a great job. Any decor you want you can purchase on your own and explain and they’ll do their best to create your vision — this allows you to save and be creative. We loved how they set up our tables especially —we brought in our own eucalyptus branches to scatter on the tables which helped us save money on center pieces. Overall, I think the price is worthwhile because of how easy it is to work with them. Our family & friends raved about the food and our banquet captain Sava executed our vision once Elizabeth handed off the reigns (their communication across their team was great). Elizabeth was especially near and dear to our heart as she really became someone we could lean on and trust. She was great. Highly recommend working with the team at Wedgewood La Jolla Cove.

My husband and I are beyond grateful to have worked with Wedgewood for our destination wedding and they all made every step of the way extremely smooth and absolutely beautiful! Everyone went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we hoped for and their efforts truly showed. Particularly, planning at our meetings with Elizabeth, Casey, and Katelyn was so much fun and they provided such helpful tips and always were so reassuring. We’re grateful for their time answering all of our questions and giving us their wonderful expertise along the way! At our rehearsal and day of Katelyn was amazing staying organized and patient with our group! We are so happy with how she brought all of our visions to life with all the specific details and decorations! Many thanks to the team member who put the florals up on the arch because they were stunning. A huge shout out to Sava for packing so much away for us so we were able to enjoy the time with our guests at the end of the night, that was extremely kind and everything made it back to NJ wonderfully! Also the bartender was phenomenal, very friendly and great at keeping everyone with drinks in their hands the whole night, many guests commented on how impressed they were with his service. Truly, working with the entire team put our mind at peace and we are so glad to have put our trust into Wedgewood for our special day. We certainly recommend them because our wedding planning experience was phenomenal and the day of our wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to all of their hard work

If you are looking for a beach wedding without having to deal with sand, you must book La Jolla Cove Hotel and Suites! Their rooftop is simply stunning and the ocean views will take your breath away. The majority of our wedding guests were from out of state and we could not have picked a more perfect place to really showcase the beauty of San Diego. La Jolla Cove Hotel and Suites has the space for both a ceremony and reception onsite and provides large spaces for the bridal parties to get ready in. It also conveniently included tables and chairs. Their events manager, Patricia, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process and went above and beyond to ensure that our special day went smoothly. Thank you La Jolla Cove Hotel and Suites for providing the most gorgeous venue for our dream wedding!!

Hard to go wrong with tihs view! The people we dealt with for the wedding were great and very helpful. The hotel staff did try to put us into "the bridal suite with 2 full beds"???? instead of one with a King bed, but we rectified that immediately and got the "actual bridal suite" which was just above the one with 2 beds-lol the rooms were clean, the pool area gorgeous, and the rooftop was simply spectacular.

As soon as I saw the views from the rooftop I knew we had to have our wedding there! I worked with Melissa through the whole process and even though she said she was new, I couldn't tell. She was always so professional, nice, and extremely responsive!
Our guests loved the location and the views. The only compliant I received was that the hotel rooms were not air conditioned. We got married on the hottest day of the year so I would imagine this wouldn't be a problem on any other day.
The rooftop is a blank slate. You could pretty much do whatever you liked to add your own personal touches. I would highly recommend a wedding here (especially now with all the rooms being remodeled).

We were so happy with how our wedding turned out and it felt like the perfect day. Our family and friends raved about how beautiful it was and how much fun they had! The views from this venue and location are unmatched, especially at sunset.

Other pros:
- While wedding planning, I frequently texted and emailed the Wedgewood team and they were always very quick to respond!
- There was a hiccup with our contracted bakery for the week of our wedding. Robert quickly helped us find another bakery and made the transition entirely seamless. We didn't have to lift a finger.
- Bartenders, servers, and security were all so kind and our guests appreciated their hospitality.
- The cocktails were great and we appreciated the wide variety of drink selection for the bar.
- Ample clean and modern bathrooms.
- Guests enjoyed the fire pits and photobooth.
- People liked the appetizers and dinner (we selected a duet plate of salmon and beef short rib for our entree).
- The staff made sure that as bride and groom we had appetizers at cocktail hour. Throughout the night they checked in on if we wanted a drink, and packed us up some food at the end of the reception!

Things to know/consider:
- From when we booked the venue to the time of our wedding, some of the Wedgewood contracted vendors had changed (bakery, DJ). My two cents is don't be afraid to use your own vendors if you find one you really want to work with. It may even save you money to achieve your same vision, for example, our florals.
-Your guests will likely need to find street parking or use a nearby parking garage.
- The rain contingency plan isn't the greatest. There isn't an alternate indoor space and umbrellas will be used for the reception if it rains. The city does not allow for tents on the rooftop.
- Luckily it rained the day before our wedding day so we did not experience this, but there is sometimes a fishy smell in the air due to the sea lions at the cove. Not sure if it could be better during certain months of the year vs others?
- During our wedding day, the newer elevator was out of order. The older elevator was quite slow and many guests took the stairs up to the rooftop
- There is no bridal or groom suite, so we booked 2 nights at a newly remodeled hotel suite with La Jolla Cove Hotel (Shores VIP Corner Penthouse Suite). This worked perfectly for getting ready and was convenient throughout the day. It was about $1k per night though if you are watching your wedding budget. And some of the older/more cost effective rooms at the hotel don't have the best reviews... due to this, we did not recommend this as a hotel to out-of-town guests for lodging.
- Day of coordinator leaves at the beginning of the reception and then the banquet captain takes over. Our banquet captain was busy serving food so our DJ was key in helping to move the reception along.
- A listed benefit is that you receive help with wedding planning. The 3 planning meetings primarily give structure in planning the key elements of your wedding. Thinking of other details required my own research and time to make the wedding feel more personalized.
- The venue website says a capacity of 200 guests. Our wedding was 130 people and that was about the amount of guests that could comfortably fit under the covered ceremony space. It also seemed like there was just the right amount of space for our reception tables to be near the dance floor.

We knew this was the place the moment we saw it. The view of the cove is spectacular! It was perfect! The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. They were with me from the beginning to the end. The only thing was it was a little expensive and for the price, like other hotels, I would have expected a complimentary room the night of the wedding and maybe a "special" price for our guests that chose to stay there. Neither of which was offered. They were helpful in getting me the room as early as possible but I thought it wasn't too much to ask for a comped room for the bride and groom the night of. Also the parking was a little tricky and there weren't a whole lot of options that didn't cost more money. They even charged us for our parking spots if you stayed there. All in all, everything went as planned the day and the staff was wonderful, especially Kiana who put up with my crazy questions and requests for 6 months of planning the wedding. I think it was a wonderful place to have a wedding if you are looking for a great view and a large space. However, for the price, I would recommend something else for those on a budget. You are also required to find your own vendors (some of which are exclusive to the venue) and that can be a little pricey as well.

Tracey & Joy in the sales office were great to work with as a contact for planning our wedding at La Jolla Cove Suites. They even gave us a military discount on the venue fee for my husband, which was greatly appreciated. Tracey & Joy were extremely responsive to any questions and change of ideas. Our only concerns were that in the beginning first few weeks that guests were booking their rooms, it depended on who they got at the front desk, some were told we had no wedding there, some weren't told the discounted rates, etc. So some of the guests were frustrated. The venue is gorgeous! Picture perfect, the rooftop view was amazing. The venue has a very specific contract so there are numerous guidelines the vendors, especially caterers have to follow. The day of the wedding, almost every one of our vendors mentioned that the front desk help was not very nice. I thought it was odd that all of my vendors commented on the staff not being helpful and nice. All and all, we were happy because they venue was gorgeous. You do have to piece each part together - food, drink, rentals, etc, so it's a lot of work, but was worth it.

We arrived to discover we had a room on the sixth floor and they had decided to renovate the elevator without notifying us there would be no elevator! We had to carry everything from the front elevator on the fourth floor, to our suite on the far corner of the sixth floor. We had to change plans for all wedding prep, and our 93 & 94 year old guests still had to climb the stairs! Horrible and definitely not legal.

New rooms are nice, but make sure they aren’t violating any ADA laws before checking in.

The venue at La jolla cove suites was amazing. You cannot beat the view with an open rooftop and perfect weather. However, if you are looking for good customer service find another venue with an amazing view.
We had called ahead of time to get the bridal suite early to load all of our items for the next day and to get ready for the rehersal with plenty of time to get things done. They assured us that would be fine and that day when we got there at the time we had said 10am, the room was not ready. We were told it was being cleaned and would be ready soon. It was never finsihed until 230pm. A half hour before check in. We then had to rush to be ready for the rehersal at 330.
Also, when we arrived, we saw our sales clerk walking by and I waved to say hi and she acted as though she barely knew who I was. She said hi and walked away. What venue where you are spending lots of money, does not acknowledge your presence? No one to say we are excited for you, no one to say how can we help you?, no one to say congratulations. It was absured! The whole day they acted as though we did not exist.
Finally, we were suppose to get the security deposit within 30 days of the wedding, which was stated in the contract. It was not recieved until a few weeks past the 30 days due to my husband demanding to speak with a manager, accounting, and our sales clerk. Our sales clerk was always gone or out of town and not even the manager could help us until we kept calling to finally catch her answering the phone.
Do not have your reception here unless you do not care about good customer service.

I loved having my wedding at La Jolla Cove suites BUT I would recommend shopping around. The view is to die for but that's all you get. This place offers nothing but the rooftop at about $4500. You will have to book a room otherwise the bride will have nowhere to get ready and with everything you have to bring in you will have no where to put your stuff. I paid $600 for the weekend for my room plus $30 for parking. I still had a beautiful wedding overlooking an amazing ocean but having only about 5 1/2 hours to enjoy it because you have to be out by 9pm, music off by 8:30pm it's not enough time for the money.
I still think it's beautiful but just some caution

I recently had my wedding at La Jolla cove hotel and suites (both the ceremony and reception). It turned out to be a beautiful wedding but getting to that point was a headache to say the least. I’ve never been involved in planning a wedding so the countless hidden costs were a big surprise; the pricey fee got you the rooftop and that was about it, EVERYTHING else was an additional cost with fees added to what seemed like everything. In addition, our contract had changed (according to the manager) and I was told that we no longer needed to fill a set amount of rooms, which was in the original contract. I asked for an updated contract and was told, again by the manager, I didn’t need one. I was given several different prices about the charge for the bridal suite (started at $230 and ended up being told it would be $500). When I confronted them about these changes and how frustrating it was, the manager said they couldn’t give me any additional discounts as I had not fulfilled booking the set amount of rooms stated in the original contract. At this point it was a few days before the wedding and I was furious as I was told we were no longer obligated to fulfill that. Luckily, I had the emails as evidence to show the discrepancies in what I was being told. There was NO accountability on the managers side of this, even when confronted with the proof. Like I said, it ended up being a beautiful wedding and the view is amazing but if you choose to have your wedding here, I’ll offer 2 big suggestions: 1) get EVERYTHING in writing so you have proof if they change things as much as they did with me and 2) ask about what is actually included in the price and what you’ll have to pay extra for, the list of additions adds up and adds up quickly.

I had my wedding here last weekend and if I could do it again I would NOT book here again. To start, they have a high turnover rates, so in the last year, I had about 3-4 point of contacts, which each told us different things. biggest issues:
1) They only have 2 elevator in the building. One is fairly small and works, but the other elevator, in the pines buildings, breaks a lot. My husband and I were stuck in it during our wedding for at least 10-15min and we had multiple guests get stuck throughout the night. When I mentioned to the Event manager, Alma, she told me she was working on it and/or did not have the authority to put a do not use sign. It took a few hours and a few more guests to get stuck before they put a do not use sin on the elevator. And my vendors had to carry large tables up and down 5 flights of stairs because the day before/after the event the elevator was not working. I also emailed her about this after the event and was told that "it was reset and working fine" and they put up the do not use sign after the 2nd guest was stuck in it.

2) My husband and I paid $2.50 extra per person to serve Pacifico instead of Corona, which was not brought up to the bar until an hour and a half into the bar being open. I spoke to the bartenders after the event and they told me on the list the hotel provided them that there was no Pacifico on the list. I email the venue after the event and asked for a partial refund since we paid extra for it and it was not provide for some time, and the response Alma provided was "we have no obligation to provide an item for the duration of the event." Even though we paid extra for it, they will not issue a partial refund.

3) venue lighting. When we first toured the venue (about a year before our wedding) I noticed there little lighting, and when I asked if there was lighting on the rooftop, the sales manager at the time told us there was lighting. I went back to the venue 3 weeks before my wedding and asked again about the lighting and was told by someone else there was "too much lighting guests normally ask to turn it down". We went back 4 days before the wedding and the new sales manager, Alma, told us that there actually was no lighting on one side of the venue/stairs leading up to the bathroom. Days leading up to the event, I was trying to work with the venue to figure out the lighting situation, the event manager took a day off (2 days before the wedding) and the accounting manager, Gus, was helpful but he refused to provide me with a backup plan if the lighting was not fixed on the event. He repeatedly kept saying "it will be fixed" but wouldn't provide a backup solution if the electrician was not able to fix it. It eventually ended up being fine, but added much additional stress the week of the wedding.

Lastly, the sales manager Alma was fairly rude to me, my MOH, and a few other friends that were helping set up. She seemed very stressed out the entire event.
