Hands down the best

Saraya made our experience the best. We knew right away this was the venue for us. Saraya made us feel so welcomed. I love her personality. It's warm, calm and very sweet. I could visualize our wedding right off the bat with the way she exclaimed the amazing options we could do. Saraya responds very quickly with detailed information. Saraya broke down the prices for us explained in detail what it all meant so there was no confusion. I highly recommend The Handlery Hotel and work with Saraya. Thank you so much Saraya for helping us decide where our wedding is going to be. You are a major part of that decision.

Flexible and Accomodating

We worked with Annmarie and she was wonderful. The venue was very flexible with set up, ceremony and reception requests. We had a great time and so did our guests. The food was great and was probably the best priced I found around San Diego County for a full venue. We really just had a wonderful time and loved having our ceremony and reception there. I also had two friends previously get married at the Handlery and they highly recommended it as well!
