Beautiful venue… Delicious food… amazing value!

Let me start off by saying that my now-husband and I had thee best wedding at The Dana and the planning process to get to our special day was made even easier by Christina, the venue coordinator. When searching for our wedding venue, we wanted to find a place that was next to the water, had a gorgeous view, amazing food and had access or a partnership to provide nearby accommodations for our guests… The Dana had everything we wanted, and more!

From the first meeting, Christina was THEE BEST! Very welcoming, organized and extremely communicative. There was not one email that went by unanswered. She always kept my husband and me on-track with our wedding preparations and ensured that all of our concerns and desires were met.

Once our wedding day came, everything was AMAZING! Our guests not only raved about the delicious food (special shout-out to the chef and kitchen staff), as well as the cocktails and beverages (another shout-out to the bartending staff), but they could not stop commenting about the Dana overall. The resort staff were very accommodating and professional, and the rooms were comfortable and convenient for our out-of-town guests… I don’t think that we could have asked for anything more from a wedding venue.

Thank you to Christina and the staff for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Beautiful place, great staff great value!

We got married at Cuvier Park in May and had our reception at the Dana Ballroom. If you are planning a small 50-60 people reception with appetizers and cake only... you can have half of the ballroom and all the appetizers/drinks catered by the Dana. It is a great deal! Working with Christine was great! She is a professional who knows what she is doing. everything was taken care of; when I got there, I just added some small decorations, and the room looked beautiful. We are very happy with the money we saved and how wonderful it all looks :).

Great value, amazing venue, what more can you ask for?

Christina and her team were professional, personable and timely with their communication. My husband and I got married in the Marina Garden and had our reception in the Mission Bay Ballroom. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the staff really made our dream wedding come to life. All of our guests, including ourselves, had the best time celebrating :)

Throughout my 13+ years of hospitality, I’ve had the opportunity to work at various hotels in San Diego to include Omni, Hilton, Marriott, and Hard Rock and have produced all types of events. Weddings have always been my specialty as I thoroughly enjoy the uniqueness , personal identity and creativity with each couple I experience. I hope you are enjoying the exciting (and stressful) process of wedding planning and my goal is to guide you in finding the perfect venue that meets your unique vision!
