The Catamaran Resort is the ideal spot for a San Diego wedding!

The Catamaran Resort is the ideal spot for a San Diego wedding. It gave us the perfect blend of beach and bay, with a touch of tropical paradise. We loved having the ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors on the water, with direct access to the ballroom and dinner only steps away. Throughout the entire ceremony and reception, guests were treated to beautiful beach/bay vistas and we received unending compliments on the amazing location.

Beyond the great location and amazing wedding photos, The Catamaran staff helped to make our wedding day go off without a hitch. Our on-site coordinator, Amber Lighty, worked with us from start to finish to make sure our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were tailored to our tastes and needs. Amber made our planning meetings/tastings fun and helped us not stress about the small stuff. It was really nice to have an inclusive package that gave us up front pricing on everything from the reception and ceremony to the wedding cake and honeymoon suite.

On the day of our wedding, the ballroom was elegant and the catering led by Yewbe, our Banquet Captain, went off without a hitch. Amber and her team coordinated easily with our outside vendors and made our special day stress free. I would totally recommend a wedding package with the Catamaran Hotel. You will not be disappointed!

We worked with McKenzee Paddock and she was phenomenal. Any questions we had were answered quickly, any concerns were addressed. She was so flexible and easy to work with.

The venue itself is gorgeous. We chose the garden Gazebo, and because an event was canceled we got to use the south lawn as our cocktail hour space. It was amazing to have use of the space. The wait staff was friendly and professional and the food was delicious.

Amazing Venue

We had our wedding on the beach and Boardroom early August and it was absolutely perfect. All staff onsite were extremely nice and friendly. We were lucky enough to get the Orchid Suite and it was more than we could have asked for, we even added on an additional night! The Catamaran went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. Even after the wedding, we had plenty of special arrangements waiting for us back at the room. We looked at several beach venues in San Diego, and The Catamaran Hotel and Resort had the best inclusive packages and value compared to the rest. All of our guests had the best time and it was absolutely beautiful. All the staff that helped during the ceremony and reception were so helpful and friendly as well . Unfortunately, I don’t remember his name but the bartender we had for the night did a great job and our guests really enjoyed having him. We can't wait to come back and celebrate our first anniversary here.

I wanted to give a special thank you to Cathy. From our very first visit to The Catamaran Hotel and Resort until the day of our wedding day, she was terrific to work with. She was very friendly, responsive and communicated well, which was important to us. She always went out of her way to help us or answer endless questions. She went above and beyond for us on many different occasions, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with her. We had some initial concerns with it being a Friday wedding and having a Luau going on directly next door, but she managed to address everything and the ceremony/reception went flawlessly.

What a great location! Their outdoor areas are perfect for a laid back San Diego style wedding reception! The ballrooms are great, and the views are terrific! Love their staff, the food, and working there as often as we can.

Awesome venue and staff... One of my Top 5 locations to perform a ceremony. Lawn or feet in the sand... always a pleasure and my couples, whether local or destination, love the view!
