Natalie C. Sent on 11/09/2023Felt like royalty!
ABSOLUTELY the most luxurious experiences I could have imagined. My husband & I got married on October 7, 2023 and had the opportunity to work with the most amazing event services managers, Dionne. From the day we checked in to the day we left the venue, we were treated like royalty. Not only that but we were incredibly blessed to have the most gorgeous cotton candy skies sunset during our reception that made it all feel like a dream. From staff, to details, to venue location, to literally everything, L'auberge exceeded my expectations. HIGHLY recommend as the #1 venue to get married!! -

L’auberge Del Mar
My wife and I had an incredible wedding at the L’auberge. With all the preparations and spending involved we were still blown away on the day of at the level or service and overall beauty of the venue.
Allyssa was very helpful in answering our 100s of questions to make sure everything went perfectly for our special day. She really stayed on top of everything. I highly recommend a wedding at this amazing venue! -

Having our wedding at L'Auberge was a dream come true. The L'Auberge team truly knows how to deliver 5 star service. I cannot say enough great things about this venue. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process. We felt at ease knowing that we had a reliable and experienced team handling the biggest parts of our big day. Our tasting experience was incredible. The food and service the day of our wedding was AMAZING. And of course the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. We look forward to returning to L'Auberge over the years for our future anniversaries to celebrate and reminisce on our incredible wedding weekend. -

Absolutely beautiful!
Allyssa from L'Auberge made my wedding dream come true! She was amazing to work with and was extremely responsive/helpful with everything I needed. I had a big wedding party and Allyssa was able to accommodate us with two bridal getting ready suites so we had more room for pictures. That was a game changer for us! I even had to change my wedding date and L'Auberge was so flexible and made everything work. Highly recommend having your wedding at L'Auberge, it is really so beautiful!! Thank you Allyssa! -

Lo Sent on 09/11/2022Incredible Wedding Weekend!
My husband and I recently got married on the Pacific Terrace overlooking the ocean at L'Auberge Del Mar. We absolutely loved the venue and the L'Auberge team. The surrounding area is also incredible for wedding guests - there is so much to do and everything is extremely convenient, which makes for a fantastic wedding weekend experience for all involved!
Allyssa is an absolute gem, and she is truly a pleasure to work with! She and her team went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome, comfortable, and valued throughout our entire wedding process, especially during our wedding weekend! There were a number of personal touches that she included which made our experience all that much better. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make the weekend magical!
I would recommend the hotel and the L'Auberge team to any future couple looking to get married within the area. We had so much fun and can't wait to visit the property again very soon!! -

We just got married on 10/16/20 and it was a dream! Best day of our lives thus far! Given the current state of the world, the venue and our coordinator, Courtney Ikeda still ensured we had the wedding we envisioned and it was perfect! The venue and all of the staff really worked with us on all of our needs and requests! We are so happy! So many compliments from all of our guests and the whole wedding party! -

Lori B. Sent on 10/09/2020Perfect place to have a wedding!
We cannot be more thrilled with L'Auberge Del Mar as the venue for my daughter's wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect and our guests all said it was the best wedding they had ever attended! From start to finish, the professionalism, caring, thoughtfulness and attention to detail made the whole process easy and wonderful. We fell in love with L'Auberge on our first visit when looking for a venue- it was the first one we saw and we cancelled all the other visits. The setting and view are spectacular. You can't find a more beautiful place for a wedding by the sea. The hotel is luxurious without being pretentious- just charming and so relaxed and fun. The beach is right there and you can walk everywhere in Del Mar! As a destination wedding, it couldn't have been more perfect for our guests. The wedding was spectacular in every way- the food is amazing, the staff are so wonderful and attentive and the sunset background made it all breathtaking. I can't say enough good things about Courtney Ikeda. She was so kind, thoughtful and professional from start to finish. She made everything so easy despite this being a traumatic Covid year. We had to cancel our original wedding on June 13th due to Covid. We were given the option of cancelling with a full refund or rescheduling. We chose to reschedule to October and were able to have a beautiful, safe, smaller outdoor wedding. They allowed us to adjust our numbers and went out of the way to help us plan long distance to create the wedding of my daughter's dreams.
The wedding packages they offer are fabulous and make planning so easy and keeping on budget a realistic possibility. You know exactly what it's going to cost up front and so much is included you don't need as many other vendors. We are thrilled and miss L'Auberge already. Can't wait to plan a trip back for our next vacation. -

Rachel L. Sent on 06/19/2020Amazing Venue - Had to Cancel Due to Covid w/FULL REFUND!!
My fiancé and I fell in love with L'Auberge's beachy chic vibe right away, and we loved that so much was included and we didn't need to hire a bunch of outside vendors. Every step of the way, there was lots of communication, and they were so helpful. Unfortunately, we planned our wedding for April 18, 2020, which was right at the start of the pandemic lockdown in SoCal. L'Auberge was quick to help us find a new date without any additional charge. They made it easy and quick. However, our new date was August 28, 2020. Despite it being legal to have the wedding, we didn't feel safe having it then, and L'Auberge let us out of our contract with a FULL REFUND. We didn't think that would be possible, but it was such a huge relief for us given the chaos in the world right now. We're so grateful and aware that this pandemic has also had a negative impact on the travel industry and has likely hit L'Auberge hard as well. We really appreciate everything they've done for us leading up to the wedding, in rescheduling the wedding, and in cancelling the wedding. THANK YOU!!
(Side note: our INCREDIBLE planner at Southern House, Kayla Gantzer, was also a big part of this positive experience, for anyone looking!) -

L'Auberge Del Mar is the absolute best and a dream wedding venue in every way!! I live in Texas and have always wanted to get married outdoors, so we made the decision to have a destination wedding after getting engaged in San Diego and discovering L'Auberge! Best decision ever!! The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and the location/views could not be better! They have a lovely pool and it's just a short walk down to the beach directly from the hotel. It's the perfect size hotel for a destination wedding and the perfect place for guests to get to experience Del Mar! They have the best wedding package options and everyone at L'Auberge was so amazing to work with from the start. We were originally supposed to get married in June but had to postpone our wedding to October due to Covid. L'Auberge made the entire process as stress-free as possible and did everything they could to work with us during this crazy year to help make my dream wedding come true - and boy did they deliver! We worked mostly with Courtney, who is the absolute best!! Nothing but amazing things to say about her! She was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and did everything in her power to make sure our wedding could happen safely. They were flexible and patient with us, and always upfront about the policies/guidelines/etc. They allowed us to have our wedding as we planned it, without having to disinvite guests or change major aspects, all while following the safety protocols. They were also willing to give us a full refund if we chose to cancel given the circumstances, which was so huge!! We of course decided to move forward with the wedding, and we are so happy we did!! We had our ceremony upstairs on the Pacific Terrace, which is also where we had our reception. Everything was absolutely stunning and perfect! And the food was incredible!! Best Short Rib I've ever had (we got TONS of compliments on the food from all of our guests - everyone loved the Salmon and the Short Rib!). The service was impeccable and all of our guests had the best time. I wouldn't change a single thing and I will be recommending L'Auberge to anyone and everyone who is looking to get married in the San Diego/Del Mar area! -

I can't say enough about L'Auberge. The team at the hotel is so professional, flexible, and helpful. The venue itself is spectacular. The food was amazing. Everything was perfect - we couldn't have been happier with how our wedding went. A beautiful experience we will hold close to our hearts forever. -

Samantha C. Sent on 02/10/2019Perfect beach wedding - without the messy beach
When staring our wedding planning process we knew theee things:
1. It needed to be in the winter due to my husbands work
2. I despise the cold so we would need to travel somewhere warmer
3. We still wanted a certain level of elegance
L’Auberge Del Mar worked for all three of these. The first thing I noticed was that the resort overlook the ocean, but guests never set foot in the sand. So I could pick any dress code I wanted! Once I finally visited I was completely in love. Every staff member at the hotel treats every guest like gold, always working to fill any request. This proved to be even more true when it came to wedding week. We were greeted with a special note from Katie offering g her help for any requests. We had a few packages shipped and they were brought to us, the. They delivered our guests room welcome bags. At the rehearsal and welcome happy hour everyone was attentive and the space (Kitchen 1540 patio) was perfect for our crowd. Then the morning of the big day came and they had the Jade boardroom set with a delicious breakfast, then later lunch. Throughout the entire day and night staff were not in the way, but were readily available to accommodate any of my guests’ requests. We received SO many compliments about the venue from our guests, including “I have been to theee destination weddings in the last year and this was hands down the best ever”. One of my uncles who is ALWAYS ready to go home from a vacation didn’t want to leave! When we finally went up to our room for bed, they had brought up wedding cake, items from our taco bar, and a few other special treats. We felt everyone at L’Auberge Del Mar wanted to help make our wedding the BEAT DAY EVER -

Audrey Sent on 11/15/2018Chic, Coastal Destination Wedding
We selected L'Auberge Del Mar as our venue for our mid-sized destination wedding of 70 guests, and could not have made a better choice. I was able to work with Robin and her team to plan the entire event with ease and perfect execution on the day-of. I am detail oriented- so appreciated that the entire set-up, table arrangements, chairs, linens, menu selection and dinner timeframe were all delivered exactly as planned. Each event space is beautiful and open concept with breath taking views. Their service was professional, timely and flexible with requested changes. Ultimately our wedding day exceeded our initial vision, making it an unforgettable weekend for us and our guests. Thank you so much!

Eilly Sent on 12/27/2017L'Auberge was an absolute dream venue for us from the moment we first visited it. Our venue search was fairly minimal since L'Auberge was one of the first venues we looked at. I had seen the hotel a few times while my Dad was temporarily living in La Jolla and knew I wanted to look at it from the moment we got engaged. The moment we stepped foot onto the property and met with the wedding coordinator at the time (no longer there, but the current coordinator, Robin, is great too!), we knew it was a done deal for us. We were absolutely in love with it. Both the property and the staff made it an easy decision. From a pricing stand point, it definitely is not inexpensive, however, now that our wedding is done, I can say it is worth every penny!
Throughout the planning process, Robin and the rest of the staff were incredibly prompt in their communication with us. Any question I had was answered pretty much immediately. They were also very flexible with us in helping bring our wedding vision to life. They wanted to make sure our day was perfect for us. Now for the wedding weekend! Absolutely magical. The hotel staff treated us and our guests like royalty the entire weekend. I truly can't say enough positive things about them. The ceremony at Seagrove Park was truly breathtaking. Our guests were blown away. We also loved that we were able to split the reception up into a few different locations at the property--cocktail hour on Sunset Terrace, dinner on the roof, and dancing in the ballroom. Every portion of the day was a dream come true and the staff and Robin at L'Auberge are a huge part of this. They worked with Bree (our planner from I Love You More Events) and all our vendors to execute such a perfect day. Also, I must mention how many compliments we got on the food! Wedding food can be tough, but not at L'Auberge. Everyone gave it a rave review! We can't thank the staff enough for helping give us the best weekend of our lives. We can't wait to get back there!!L'Auberge Del Mar's reply:
Working with you was a dream- a vision brought to life. L'Auberge is so honored to be your chosen venue for this most special day and we love hearing how incredibly special we make our brides feel! We'll see you back for your anniversary and hope to see you celebrating each year thereafter. -
