Harbor View Loft

reat work!

lism, care, and expertise. We ended up planning our wedding in 90 days (not the original plan, but Ashley made it happen for us!), and they held our hands through every step — from logistics to timelines to all the little questions that come up along the way. One thing that made them so special was that they gave expert guidance while still making the day feel completely like ours. They made us feel supported, heard, and genuinely cared for, even while navigating family dynamics and all the moving pieces that come with a wedding. The day itself ran so smoothly and felt so beautiful. As the bride and groom, we were able to be fully present, soak everything in, and enjoy the day in a way we never thought possible with so much going on. We received so many compliments on the venue and the overall flow of the event, and that is a true credit to their team. We are still so grateful. They are true professionals and made our wedding feel incredibly special from beginning to end. I don't have enough kind things to say to truly capture how grateful we are (,:

harbor and city skyline is stunning, and you truly can't beat the price! Our guests raved about the food and friendly staff!

e process. Both were friendly, professional, organized and had an upbeat energy, making planning feel enjoyable and effortless. The food was delicious - our guests couldn't stop talking about it! And the service team was equally great - attentive, professional, and friendly. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning views, excellent food, and a team that cares about making your event perfect, Harbor View Loft is the one for you!

att. We had 100+ guests at our wedding and parking was manageable for a Saturday afternoon. The decor and attention to detail in service was amazing! The wedding preparation meetings were organized by Daisy and Hannah. Both of them were attentive and patient with our questions, concerns and requests. They wedding planner - Sam was an all-star worked with the DJ, photographer and videographer for an excellent moment. I had a slight panic attack a few minutes before the ceremony - and Sam stepped in to keep my calm. I couldn't recommend this location enough to everyone. Thank you, ladies, for the wonderful service and attention to detail!

ut the process. The staff is incredible!! Everything felt incredibly seamless. If there was an issue the day of our wedding, we did not hear about it!! Every single person who was working the day of our wedding was incredible, my wife and I felt like we did not have to pick up a finger. Our coordinator was wonderful, made sure we stayed on time, and made sure that we were taken care of, had time to eat, and had a drink in our hands. I could not recommend Harbor View Loft enough. The venue is gorgeous, and we and our guests had an incredible evening. Thank you to the team at Harbor View Loft!!

bly responsive and accommodating during the entire planning process. They made this Type A bride feel confident that everything would run smoothly on wedding day - and it did! The venue was beautiful, even on a cloudy day. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. Perfect day start to finish.

dliness, and professionalism Harbor View provided us with the best food, decor, and service, we could have asked for. Thank you to this venue and staff for helped us plan and host our big day!

having her as our day of coordinator. She deserves all of the praise for all of her hard work & ability to coordinate while also staying calm. The service from the bar and the kitchen staff was also amazing! Our guests had an amazing time. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married. Thank you for everything!

rything from the views of the harbor to the little attention to details were perfect and everything went off without a hitch. Daisy and her team took care of everything for us because we planned this as a destination wedding, so we couldn’t actually be there in person during the planning stages. We were assured along the way during our planning meetings that everything would be go as planned and it really did. Thank you so much HVL for making our special day unforgettable!

all your hard work and hospitality, Daisy! We couldn't have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without your help.

pful. She explained the various packages and provided a tour of the venue. The venue is centrally located just minutes away from the airport, and some of the must see neighborhoods of San Diego if you have guests flying from out of town. Harbor View Loft itself is beautiful and intimate, with panoramic views of San Diego Bay. Their outdoor terrace was perfect for our ceremony, and it made for a seamless transition to our reception inside. The food is catered by Personal Touch and each meal was carefully curated and absolutely delicious! We opted in for the short rib, salmon, various sides, and a burrito bar to end the night, which was a hit with our guests who fondly remember it even close to two months after our wedding. The suggested vendor list that Daisy provided was extremely helpful, and everyone on the list is a pleasure to work with. The planning process leading up to our special day went smoothly thanks to HVL’s team. Along with Daisy, we also worked with Artemis planning event details and with Sam as our day-of-coordinator, and they were all incredibly wonderful. As a whole we would absolutely recommend HVL for any wedding and/or celebratory event!

he entire process efficient and not feel so overwhelming. The venue itself is beautiful, it's right over the water. My husband and I got amazing golden hour pictures. The food and bar was excellent!!! I can't recommend Harbor View Loft enough!! If you're looking for over the water view with open bar, great view, awesome vendors at an AFFORDABLE price, then Harbor View is the place!!

was Daisy and the rest of the staff! Daisy was so great to work with. She really made the whole experience from planning to end of reception so easy for us. The staff was so helpful and on top of EVERYTHING on the day. It truly was a STRESS FREE day. My only concern was arriving to the venue on time! Once we arrived, I knew we were in good hands. They saw our vision and executed it beautifully. Thank you all!

s amazing along with all the staff. I am a more “hands off bride” I am not picky and absolutely loved how they handled everything for me all I had to do was share my ideas and show up and they made it perfect! Also the food was delicious. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding they truly do an amazing job.

ent extremely smoothly and the food was delicious! Would recommend to anyone looking for an all-inclusive venue right on the water! Such an unforgettable day and HVL really helped to make it happen!

m the very first interaction we felt as though they genuinely cared and wanted to help make our day magical. We booked about 2 years in advance because of the pandemic and for two whole years Daisy answered every email question, some of which I’m sure I asked multiple times, quickly and courteously. The venue itself is beautiful. All the options for plate ware, table cloths, food, drinks, etc. is top notch. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. I’m sure there are things I’m missing but just know, on the off chance I ever need to plan a wedding again, it will be with Harbor View Loft.

work with. The location was beautiful, and you would be hard pressed to find a better all inclusive package in San Diego. Their packages were reasonable and took so much of the planning off of our plate. I can honestly say my wedding planning was stress free thanks to the help of Harbor View Loft. The staff was quick on communication, super accommodating (we had several guests with various food allergies), and they genuinely cared about helping us have the best wedding day possible. Also, our guests raved about the food (everything from the appetizers to the desserts was delicious). We got so many compliments about our wedding. Thank you Harbor View Loft!

venue we toured and immediately booked that day! Not only are the prices extremely reasonable, the people are so kind and highly responsive when communicating. You get everything you want and more! I could not have asked for a better wedding venue. Every single thing we asked for they were able to accommodate with 5 star service. If you are looking for an amazing venue where you can have fun on your wedding day and get some help from their amazing team, I would look no further and book at HVL!

with their packages, especially having a day-of coordinator. They were so easy to work with as we planned our wedding, very responsive and always prioritized making the most important aspects of our wedding happen. The food, service, bartenders and space were absolutely perfect for our wedding of 150. We received so many compliments from guests on the venue and the service. I cannot recommend them enough for the day-of coordination as well. We did not have to decorate, worry about vendors or deal with any details on the day of the wedding which allowed us to just enjoy. We would get married there again in a heartbeat :)

to all of our questions. Shortly after signing the contract we had Daisy take over and she was just amazing. Always answering my random questions/emails and always making us feel important. She helped us pick out everything and adjusted our contract as needed whenever I made a change or added things. Everything ran so smoothly as she and Sam were there at the wedding making sure all was perfect. And it was. Thank you so much!!

that's exactly what was offered. On top of the gorgeous surrounding scenery and access to both inside and outside areas, the staff was incredible to work with. They offered everything that we needed for our wedding, and made the process seamless. I was in contact with Daisy and Darcie every step of the way, and Myra, my day of coordinator, brought my entire vision to life. The food was talked about by our families for weeks after our wedding, and their recommended vendors list made it extremely easy to choose from. They helped make our dream wedding a reality and all of our guests absolutely loved every part of it!

for better people to work with. Daisy and Myra in particular were excellent (and were really good at handling multiple points of communication, including from the mother of the bride). Everything felt very streamlined and seamless. We were planning this wedding from 3000 miles away, and after 2 years of pandemic delays so the level of support and attention Daisy and the whole staff gave to us was really a lifesaver in an otherwise chaotic process. We were also paying for the wedding ourselves and this was by far the least ridiculously expensive option that still felt really beautiful and unique. Would absolutely recommend for any future event.

up having to have it upstairs on the rooftop and oh my goodness I am SO glad we did. The rooftop allowed for the most intimate feeling during the ceremony as all of our guests were able to be so close to me and my husband when we were up at the altar. We had around 125 guests and I will never forget the feeling of walking down the aisle and everyone standing up. I was so emotional walking down the aisle at HVL because it felt as if all of our guests were giving me a huge hug. It was the most surreal feeling and I wish all brides could experience this! Then once we were up there everyone said they LOVED the views of San Diego! We had lots of guests from out of town so for them this was such a perfect spot because they could see downtown SD and have the classic harbor vibes as well for a perfect photo backdrop. We took photos down on the lawn with our bridesmaids and groomsmen and then by the harbor for sunset and with family so you really can take advantage of it all! The airport being SO close is super super helpful and it wasn't a bother at all during the ceremony to have an airplane fly by, no one even noticed it. During the whole planning process everyone was SO helpful! Especially Daisy and Darcie as they were the two that helped us from the beginning! During our tastings and linen picking they were so patient with me and my husband and we are so very grateful for this. Our day of coordinator Myra was also SO wonderful. She really made sure everything was perfect and it truly was!!! The FOOD was also so good! We ended up doing tacos (which I am not sure if they are available anymore but I heard all the food is unbelievable) and churros for dessert and everyone said they loved this! It made our out of town guests feel even more like they had the whole SD experience. Overall they truly were so wonderful at making sure everything went smoothly and I 100% recommend HVL and the whole team to absolutely anyone who wants to have the perfect San Diego wedding! It was intimate, classy, budget friendly, and SO MUCH FUN! Thank you so much HVL!

The venue itself is incredible- amazing views, elegant interior, great patio. All the staff were fantastic to work with, Darcie was our primary point of contact and day of coordinator and she is the absolute best! Personal Touch Dining is the catering service used and WOW- our guests could not stop raving about the food, it was absolutely delicious! If we were to do this all over again, we'd pick HVL every time.

They were quick to respond to all of my countless emails, answer all my questions, and even shifted our date once with no issues. The location and all the amenities provided by the venue made for an amazing day. I didn’t have to look elsewhere for catering or rentals for our wedding which made things so much less stressful for me. Darcie was our main point of contact during the planning process and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. From scheduling multiple tastings, adjusting timelines, handling everything on the back end of the rehearsal and day of. Caitlin was fantastic as our day of venue coordinator. She worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, made sure we always had plenty to eat or drink, and made sure everything went as planned. I am so pleased with how everything turned out. Our guests loved the venue, the food, and the whole vibe thanks to HVL!!!

December and had a beautiful view, sunny ceremony, and everything ran so smoothly. Our coordinator, Darcie, and her assistant, were absolutely amazing. They were so well-prepared, efficient, and kind the entire night. Because of them, we always had a drink in our hand, didn't have to worry about the timeline or schedule, and could truly enjoy the entire evening. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and on time and made sure we were having a great time. We also had tons of compliments from our guests about how well the bartender worked - quick and friendly! The staff that they have at the HVL made this such an amazing venue. It was incredible to have our wedding at a place where we didn't have to have any worries and they really did the best job at making our day perfect- great food, beautifully decorated, and delicious drinks. After having to push back our wedding and working with Annalisa and Darcie for months, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a venue with a great view of San Diego, amazing staff who perfect their decor and are friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with!

er day by the way)! I initially was working with Annalisa, and then worked with Darcie as my coordinator the last six months. Annalisa was wonderful, and Darcie is an angel. Day of the wedding Darcie and Dani (another coordinator) handled every. single. moment. If there were any issues that day, I don't know, because they nailed it. Nothing was brought to my attention and I felt wonderful. They made sure my husband and I were fed, that I got a drink, and that everything with our vendors was coordinated. They handled the arch rental and set up for me and it turned out gorgeous. I absolutely do not have enough kind words for their staff, how beautiful this venue is, and the fact that it was all-inclusive was amazing for my budget. Their in-house catering company is PHENOMENAL. Everyone is still raving about how insanely good the food was. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD. I have been to many weddings where the food is less than good, and I am so amazed at the quality and service of our food. Thank you so much Harbor View Loft for my day - I am only sad it is over. Do not sleep on this venue - book it NOW.

ears with the pandemic, this crew stood by us the whole way through. We are so grateful for their support in helping us finally celebrate our special day. Thank you!

t with no worries. After weeks of stressful planning it was nice to let go one night and I don’t think that would have been possible without Darcie or Danielle. Thanks again!!
