The Thursday Club Reviews

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

The Thursday Club is a beautiful venue. It's affordable and working with Chris, the manager, was super pleasant. He was responsive, kind, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Sunset Cliffs has always been special to us. So when we found The Thursday Club we knew it was it!! The Manager Chris is so friendly and helpful. He gave us a tour and the view speaks for itself! When we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Chris was helpful, responsive and understanding. He quickly gave us new dates that were open within the year. This venue is magical. Ocean views, stained glass windows, lots of room for dancing, and it's perfect if you want to have your ceremony and reception at the same venue! Outdoor ceremony was a must for us. Guests enjoyed hanging out on the outdoor terrace/garden during cocktail hour and watching the sunset!

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.

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.

This venue made my day! The uplights bring out the texture of the walls. Chris is great communicating. If you are fine with their rules and are planning a wedding under 150 people this is a stunning venue.

As soon as I saw The Thursday Club I knew it was right for us. Chris, was amazing and helped us with so much while we were planning. He is the sweetest and we really enjoyed working with him. We could not have had a better venue and they keep it so well maintained that you never have to worry. It is a beautiful historic building and has so much character. The views, are absolutely breath taking and make the best pictures. I extremely recommend hiring this venue! You will not regret it!

The venue honestly speaks for itself, it was surprisingly the most affordable venue in San Diego and hands down the BEST! Chris is so wonderful to work with and I couldn’t recommend the Thursday club enough.

The Thursday Club is just magical! Chris is a wonderful and professional manager who is very easy to work with. The venue is absolutely beautiful and quintessential vintage southern California. Our guests who flew in from all over the world just were stunned with the beauty of the grounds, views (including a marvelous sunset) and space. There’s a lot of history and it’s a space that’s held a lot of happy memories. It was the most perfect venue for us. We highly recommend it!

This review is far overdue. I was married at the Thursday club in July. Our ceremony and reception were both held on site at this beautiful venue. We loved this venue from start to finish. Chris, the onsite manager is wonderful to work with and really holds your hand to ensure you have everything you need for your event. We had a fairly large wedding and there was plenty of space for everyone. Our guests haven't stopped commenting on how much they loved this place! I highly recommend it!

The Thursday Club is absolutely the most beautiful location for a wedding in all of San Diego. The garden is impeccably kept and in the indoor reception area has a classic feel. Chris, the manager, is easy to get a hold of and responds quickly. He has great recommended vendors that he has worked with many times, thus making everything move so smoothly. You cannot beat The Thursday Club!

This venue was everything I could have ever hoped for! My guests (and I) were blown away by its spectacular views and gorgeous craftsmanship. Chris was awesome to work with as well! Having our wedding at The Thursday Club was perfect!

Chris is the manager at the Thursday Club. He is amazing. Chris is kind, patient, attentive, professional and responsive. He was a major factor on why Peter and I decided to get married at the Thursday club.

I would recommend the Thursday Club if you are looking for an intimate ceremony venue with great views, if you want the feeling of being married in a garden, if you are looking for a place for your reception that feels elegant yet cozy, and if you are looking to take wedding pictures at sunset cliffs*******THE LOCATION IS PERFECT.

The only thing you need to take into consideration is that if you want to rock out till the wee hours following your wedding you cannot. You have to be off the premises by 9:30 which was perfect for us.

Thank you Chris for all of your help and ensuring that our Wedding Day was Magical.
Many Blessing to you.

With Love,
Mr. & Mrs. Farrell-Marcellino

We were just married at the Thursday Club this weekend and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! First, the manager (Chris Erickson) was the best to work with - he was easygoing and professional from the start, and made us and our whole crew feel very welcome. You couldn't ask for a nicer guy to work with and anyone who has planned a wedding knows you have a LOT of contact with your venue prior to the event. All our expectations were met and then some.

The venue itself is gorgeous - beautiful ocean views and historical charm to the building that is beyond compare. My family has had several weddings in the last few years and I received many compliments that this venue was by far the best. And, considering all we received, the Thursday Club was a bargain compared to other venues we researched.

If we could give the Thursday Club more than a five star rating we would. I highly recommend that you consider this venue for your wedding or other special occasion.

BOOK THIS VENUE!!! Everything about this place is simply amazing. The views are gorgeous, the space is plentiful, and the memories will last a lifetime! The manager Chris, is one of the nicest and most accommodating man that we have every met. He truly cares about making your special day something that you will love and remember forever. There is a large room for the bridal party to get ready in, and an awesome porch for the men to hang out and support their groom. There is plenty of room for dancing, and the best possible set up space to fit all the cliche wedding moments such as grand entrances, wedding photos in the garden, couches for the grandparents. Thank you Chris and the Thursday club for making the most important day of our lives one that we will cherish forever!

Beautiful and affordable venue. A great space that allows for indoor/outdoor flow. Great parking and conveniently located near old town Pasadena if guests are from out of town. All rentals have to be ordered through them but you can choose any vendors besides that, which is nice.

Such a quaint place in a great neighborhood! This cozy, 1920's Women's Club was the absolute perfect place for my wedding this past weekend! Chris, the manager, was so kind and helpful from the very beginning and made the entire process such a wonderful experience! Even though the weather threatened rain, we were able to have the ceremony out on the beautiful garden patio, where we had about 100 guests fit nicely. Because there was a chance of rain, Chris suggested, and let us rehearse, an alternate ceremony plan that would have been just as easy and lovely. This is a full service venue where you are able to come and rehearse the day before, they provide all tables and chairs as well as set up and take down, and even have a safe in the bridal suit. Chris was also able to give me a number of recommendations for other vendors I needed as well. Chris was extremely accommodating in allowing me to come by the Club a number of times with different vendors, and simply to show family when they were in town prior to the wedding :) Every aspect of the Club is bursting with charm! This made for an especially warm and homey feeling wedding, and I would not have had it any other way!

The Thursday Club was the ideal venue for my wedding last week! We planned the wedding remotely - but the manager, Chris, made this a very easy process. He was very responsive to all my questions and inquiries, and make sure that I (and my wedding coordinator, Ashley Mayo of Adore Wedding Designs) had everything we needed leading up to my wedding and reception. This venue is a beautiful 1920s building with a lovely dance floor and stage, and the windows, colors, lighting, fireplace and views are the high points of this place. There is a very special 'feel' to this place - and for a mid-sized wedding or larger (mine was for 65 guests) this is a perfect sized venue. We had the ceremony on-site, on the back patio area, and the venue allowed for small 'peeks' of the Pacific Ocean, and full views in the reception area balconies. My guests were just as enthralled with the venue as we were, and our destination wedding was a great success partly because of how lovely this venue was! The Thursday Club classic style and accents bring you back to a simpler time. It gives you the feeling of having your wedding at a family home, rather than a 'wedding venue', with it's living room, and bridal dressing area - everything seems very lovingly taken care of. If you are looking for somewhere with a more personal, intimate setting than one of the more corporate hotel chains (which I also looked into) in the San Diego area, I'd suggest checking out this gem in the Point Loma area of San Diego

Choosing the Thursday Club was perhaps the biggest decision we had to make with planning our wedding. We decided that a combination of the location, view, and price, made the Thursday Club the best choice we could make. The location offered a great view of the pacific ocean, and combined with its balconies and gardens, this view made our wedding spectacular. The venue offers plenty of spaces to personalize the reception, including a living room where we placed candles and picture frames that had meaning to the two of us. All of our guests were impressed by the venue and a significant portion of them stated this was the best wedding they had ever attended. I firmly believe our choice of venue had a lot to do with that.

A big shout out to Chris, the manager of the Thursday Club, is due. Chris was very quick to respond to emails and facilitated site visits so our vendors and family/friends who were assisting with set-up could view the site ahead of time. Chris was additionally great at helping us get in touch with vendors, such as caterers and DJ.

The Thursday Club was the most spectacular venue for our wedding! Not only is the view to die for, but Chris Erickson, makes the process so easy. Every time I saw him, which was a lot since I wanted to show everyone our venue, he would always accommodate me and greet me with a smile! Every detail of how I envisioned the day went off without a hitch. Chris was great at communicating with all of my vendors and making sure I had everything in order. This venue is romantic, unique, beautiful and priced just right!! I highly recommend this venue to everyone who wants a great view and a great staff to work with!
