John Sent on 10/02/2024Beautiful Venue for a wedding, even better Staff!
The venue is beautiful and the pictures speak for themselves. It doesn't get much better than an oceanside sunset view during your wedding, but what sets L'Auberge apart is the quality of their staff. From the sales manager to the event service manager and the banquet staff, everyone is extremely professional and genuinely friendly. They are truly a service-oriented team and will do their best to make sure your dream wedding experience becomes a reality. -

Jade Sent on 09/17/2024My Absolute DREAM wedding!
We had the most magical wedding at L'Auberge. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and you feel so welcomed from the moment you walk in. Every single staff member from valet, waiter, bartender, servers were so incredibly attentive. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly and the attention to detail was impeccable. Dionne, the event service manager, was amazing and really made it such a seamless experience for us. I could not have imagined the day going any better, our wedding was absolutely magical. We cannot wait to go back! Thank you again to everyone at L'Auberge! -

Melissa Sent on 09/08/2024Perfect Weekend at L'Auberge Del Mar
We celebrated our wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar two weeks ago, and we could not have had a better experience! Starting from our initial venue tour with Whitney, all the way through the planning process with Dionne, and then into the actual wedding weekend and day of with the whole team, everything was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful (you can't beat the ocean views and the gorgeously appointed property), the food is delicious (thanks to Chef and her team for accommodating our various dietary needs!), and the team is friendly and accommodating. In addition to our actual wedding, we hosted a brunch the next day at L'Auberge, and it was also wonderful! We also had a number of our guests stay at the hotel, and they raved about their time there! -

Natalie 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!! -

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. -

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!! -

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! -

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! -

Lindsay Sent on 10/26/2020L'Auberge Del Mar is the absolute best and a dream wedding venue in every way!
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! -

Lori 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 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!) -

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 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!

Ashleigh Sent on 06/26/2018Most Amazing Wedding Venue Ever!!! First I must say that Robin Naluai (director of catering) is the primary reason that I had such a spectacular wedding and overall experience at L'Auberge. She is the most wonderful, patient and caring person I have ever come into contact in the hospitality business and her expertise and hand holding made my destination wedding an amazing success (we were planning from DC). L'Auberge and its staff are capable of making all of your dreams come true!
L'Auberge Del Mar's reply:
Ashleigh- you are a doll. Thank you for your kind words. L'Auberge Del Mar was honored to be your chosen venue. And what a gorgeous bride you were!!! I hope you are enjoying wedded bliss and should I ever find myself in your neck of the woods- I will come to check out your ranch and saddle up :) -

![Eilly]()
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. -

Courtney Sent on 12/01/2017How do you even BEGIN to describe the best day of your life - at the best venue in the world?!?
L'Auberge Del Mar is breathtakingly beautiful - a perfect setting for the perfect day filled with all your friends and family. Our guests came from all over the country and they were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the location - saying "they've never been to a wedding this beautiful!!"
Robin and her team were BEYOND fantastic, making sure that every with was absolutely perfect throughout the planning process and, of course, the day of. I was so happy that I did not have to stress one bit the day of our wedding because I knew they would take care of everything. I was also so appreciative that Robin took the time to meet with me and my family the day before the wedding to walk through everything once more to ensure everything was good to go. Her positive and easy going attitude, combined with her professionalism and organization made for stress-free wedding planning, which is virtually unheard of!
We also received tons of compliments on how helpful / customer-service oriented the L'Auberge staff was - especially the valet team - the definition of white glove service!! They even took the time to remember all the names of our wedding party! That made everyone feel really special. The banquet captain was also unbelievably helpful and attentive - making sure everything went smoothly and our guests were fed and happy!
All in all, I can't recommend this venue highly enough. I am so thankful that we were able to have our special day in such a beautiful setting. MANY thanks to Robin and her all-star team at L'Auberge - we are SO appreciative of all your help and hard work in putting together our wedding!! <3
L'Auberge Del Mar's reply:
Thank you Courtney! It was an honor and our pleasure to have your wedding with us at L'Auberge. We hope to have you and Rich return again and again to walk down memory lane and reflect on your incredibly special day at our stunning home by the sea!
XO- Robin -

Jocelyn Sent on 10/08/2011The perfect place to have a sophisticated and fun beach-front wedding. The venue is a bit pricey, but the staff there is fantastic at working with your budget to make sure everything stays within your means. All of our guests loved how beautiful the venue was and complimented the hospitality of the entire hotel and catering staff. Even if I had twice the budget to spend, I would still have chosen L'Auberge. Can't beat this property for it's classy, but non-stuffy appeal. -

L Sent on 08/29/2009L�Auberge is simply the best venue anyone could have a wedding!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. You must take the time to visit this venue when planning your wedding. We were married at Sea Grove Park and had the reception at the hotel. The hotel staff was amazing. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I think it had a lot to do with the location! -

Tiffany Sent on 04/28/2009L'Auberge was absolutely beautiful and classy and the service and friendliness was exceptional. I had Terri Gentry in charge of my wedding and she was phenomenal! Extremely accomodating and very prompt on any and all questions that I had. The food and service was incredible and they provided everything that was needed (if it was planned or last min) with absolutely no problems. The location is so beautiful and the views incedible. I liked that the venue was very refined while not being stuffy. It is very light and open and has a very San Diego and beach feel to it. They also set up Seagrove Park very beautifully. It was a dream come true and the venue and people were an so easy to work with. -
Dakota Sent on 01/11/2018My wife and I got married on the 1st of January (talk about a day that could have been a wreck). From the very beginning, we had come back to choosing this venue over and over again. Being deployed, my then fiancée, didn’t want to make a decision without me seeing the place in person. We were allowed to place a soft hold on our chosen wedding package. Once I returned, we decided on a whim that we were going to look at the resort and potentially sign our contract. The staff immediately greeted us with open arms and Robin cleared her schedule to make time to show us around. We were assured on the spot that everything would go our way (even if weather didn’t play into our special moment because the patio we chose was outside). Once we signed the contract, the team was in contact with us every few days to make sure our experience was comfortable. Even though we didn’t know for sure what our colors would end up they helped us choose our flowers and everything!! Skip to the day of the of the ceremony. Our weather was absolutely perfect. My wife was given a separate staging area to put on the finishing touches (since we decided not to get ready at the resort that morning). The staff made last minute changes to our set up to make sure that our sand ceremony and all of our 7 guests were comfortable. We were able to use our own officiant even though one was provided (which was really important to my wife). When one of our guests was running late, they even let us hold the time back to make sure everyone made it. We decided to add lunch to our package since we didn’t do a huge ceremony and the staff made all of our people feel like royalty, especially us! A photographer was included, David was absolutely amazing. He got a multitude of shots before, during, and after the ceremony making sure to work with the children in attendance to make sure everyone got in. Our only complaint though not resolved was apologized for countless times (my wife’s name was incorrect on the plaque)
L'Auberge Del Mar's reply:
Dakota- you are fabulous and I so enjoyed every minute of working with you both. Such a lovely couple. The elopement package was a perfect fit for you! Please come visit us again and again!!! -
