Set the stage for the wedding of your dreams at San Diego’s most magical wedding venue. Say “I do” on our sweeping green lawn overlooking views of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, cap it off with a dramatic open-air reception in our majestic pavilion, or choose from an array of other stunning venues nestled in nature. Along with our unforgettable backdrop, Fairmont Grand Del Mar entices with elegant accommodations, award-winning dining, and limitless adventures in our unique coastal canyon setting. With on-site wedding specialists who will take a completely bespoke approach, rest assured your celebration of love will match your every vision.
Gather for welcome cocktails by our reflection pool surrounded by green hills, exchange your vows on our terrace overlooking manicured gardens, or choose from one of our other infinitely romantic venues—all with sweeping vistas to match.
Capella is a true original and very distinctive. With the antique timbered ceiling and leaded windows, this one-of-a-kind space spells sanctuary. Accents such as ornate chandeliers, polished marble, dark woods, imported stone and stained glass create an artful, exotic ambiance — a little Italian chapel, a little Arabian Nights. The vaulted architecture lends a personal feel, though the space can accommodate gatherings of 350 or dinner for as many as 240 guests.
Your event will be accentuated by a dramatic pavilion and views of the resort’s golf course and canyon preserve beneath the warm Southern California sun.
Elevate your large-group event in the high style of the Manchester Salon. Detailed woodwork, hand-stenciled ceilings, chandeliers and large arched windows with garden and golf views set the tone. Though the room is large, with 2,300 square feet of inviting space, it feels intimate and private. There are two handcrafted stone fireplaces: one inside and one on the 1,910-square-foot terrace. Lead breakout sessions in the fresh air, shaded from the sun during the day, or mix and mingle under the stars in the evening.
Host your group’s breakfast, lunch or twilight reception outside surrounded by green hills, manicured gardens, and our serene reflection pool animated with arcing fountains. The outdoor space spans 2,500 square feet, with ample room for conversation and connection in and around the pool and gazebo. For an especially memorable evening, start with cocktails on the lawn, then walk nearby to dine in the softly lit Wine Rooms and Cellar in the company of some 3,500 bottles.
This 10,000-square-foot setting offers automobile access, a built-in stage, ceiling heights from 18 to 19 feet and spacious wrap-around foyers, as well as warm woods, imported stone and rich color accents. Host a cocktail reception here for up to 1,300 people or a banquet for up to 650 guests.
Three richly-toned and expertly crafted wine rooms — Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne — offer a combined 1,925 square feet for connecting. With encased wine bottles, wood-beamed ceilings, brick accents and a sophisticated ambiance, these unique spaces are perfect for an extravagant culinary experience or conversation-starting party.
