Mission Beach Women’s Club

We picked the MBWC for our wedding venue site unseen. Risky? Perhaps. But we were planning our wedding from out of town and knew we wanted to be near the water but on a budget. Choosing the MBWC offered us a very cost effective venue in a beautiful setting. With a park area overlooking Mission Bay right next to their building, it made for one stop shopping, so our guests could just move from the ceremony straight to the reception. Not only does MBWC come with the bonus patio area (which would be big enough to hold a small ceremony if you didn’t want to do the extra work to secure the park area), but there are tables and chairs included in the rental and you can use whichever vendors you prefer. This allowed us to put together our dream wedding, even with a tight budget. Nancy, our contact there, was super sweet and easy to work with. She had helpful tips and when we did get a chance to tour the space, she filled us in on some of the history and activity of the Women’s Club. The cottage itself has a relaxed, San Diego vibe to it and had the «beach chic» charm we were looking for. It is not a huge space, but I think you could comfortably do an event with as many as 80 or 90 guests there without an issue. It was the perfect venue for us!

Perfect venue for our daughter’s beach wedding. The «cottage» was clean, pretty and ready to be decorated. Nancy was a charm, right on time and helping with any questions we had. The patio is an extra bonus to transition from beach to cocktails to reception.

Hands down the best wedding/​reception venue in San Diego. Our daughters reception was there 8÷15÷2015 and it was incredible the venue is the perfect balance of inside/​outside atmosphere and the picture opportunities are endless. Nancy is super easy to work with and can provide vendor info or you can bring all of your own (unheard of anywhere else). Some will mention the parking problem but our guests said they planned for different options and it was never a concern so don’t let it be yours! you won’t regret having your event of any kind here.

We had our wedding here in February, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. Excellent value for the money when compared with other similar local venues, and this place has a little more of the personal touches that make an event special. Nancy was very helpful and provided plenty of suggestions without being overbearing. We had about 80 people at our wedding, and it was cozy but not packed. There was room to dance, mingle, set up cake, gifts, and buffet, etc. We had our ceremony out on the sand (gorgeous view) and our alcohol set up on the patio. The fact that you don’t have to use a bartender if you don’t want to and can provide your own beverages was a huge plus for us. Overall we had an amazing experience here and as we’re in that time of life where lots of our friends are getting married, we’ve already referred two couples to this venue. Great, reasonable place for a smallish wedding.

My husband and I had our wedding here last weekend, and it was AMAZING! Nancy was more than helpful from start to finish. She helped us setup and tear-​down before and after the event. During the time we were «booked,» but before the wedding, she was super helpful, and available to show us the venue as many times as we needed. She was immediately responsive via phone and email, and was able to answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend hosting your event at Mission Beach Women’s Club. It is a BEAUTIFUL venue, and Nancy is great. You won’t regret it!

My wife and I had our wedding in the sand in front of the club and reception inside. It went so well and Nancy was so helpful. We really couldn’t be happier with her or the venue. She worked with us every step of the way and we could tell she really cared about how our day went.

Loved Loved Loved! Great space — so intimate! Perfect location! (Only thing that sucks is because this place is do it yourself everything — that means the cleanup too — ugh! And silly SD has a sound ordinance and you have to shut it down at 10!)

I was thrilled with the Women’s Club venue! My daughter was married there last week and it was picture perfect. The proximity of the beach and water and the beautiful sky for the ceremony with the quaint cottage for the reception was ideal! The patio worked well for both the bar and appetizers and for the guests to cool down or just relax at the picnic tables. The manager of the venue, Nancy was so helpful and thoughtful. She helped reduced my wedding day anxiety and offered her excellent advice on set up, besides being present to sign and organize the vendors.
I would highly recommend the MBWC as a wedding venue for a guest list up 120. Being able to bring in your own vendors and the location are all pluses!

I love this venue! I own a linen rental business and we have serviced several weddings taking place at this venue. The staff is friendly and easy to work with! It’s beautiful too!

I literally toured more than 40 wedding venues before choosing this one. MBWC is beautiful and intimate and for being right on the water it comes at an amazing price. Nancy is wonderful to work with and she even provided a laaaarge folder full of vendor information of vendors she has worked with in the past. That folder alone is priceless because it has a ton of great vendors at great prices you might not find with a google search. MBWC is cozy and perfect for small-​medium weddings. We had our ceremony in the sand in front of the venue and had a great cocktail hour on the patio. You get 6 hours for your event time and everything needs to end by 10pm which could be a little disappointing for party lovers but with the proximity of bars in mission beach, you could have an after party near by. My husband and I actually went to belmont park and rode the roller coaster for our night cap :) The building comes with tons of hooks on the beams to hang things up but we didn’t use them. They have tables, cocktail tables, and chairs for your use. They have the nice wood chairs that dont need chair covers which is awesome. If you book your event in the summer you get a great view of the fireworks from Sea world :) We had a truly great time at our wedding and the atmosphere created by MBWC is wonderful.

Just had our wedding here almost 2 weeks ago. Ended up being the perfect atmosphere for us!
The venue easily fit our guests (~60), and had that intimate charm that’s hard to find at a lot of places. Everything was very personal– Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with and let us do our own thing. Relaxed, breezy, looking right out into the bay. The patio space along the boardwalk was a wonderful asset to have as well, as it allowed guests to choose inside or outside mingling spots. The lights looked adorable at night, and setup was quick and easy. Perfect for a relaxed wedding for beach lovers, without the crazy prices some other places offer.
Thanks for making our wedding so perfect!

Been here 2 times for rehearsal dinners, and both were pretty awesome. This place is right in Mission Beach, near the Santa Clara parking lot, if you are coming here, do yourself a favor and check the lot first for parking, as street parking is next to impossible. There is a nice sized outdoor area that is right on the bay-​side boardwalk, plenty of people watching and enough room to comfortably fit 50+ people I would say. I have no idea what the pricing is for this place but I am pretty sure that its rather affordable. The indoor area has a little stage which is cool when giving toasts and what not. My only knock on the place is not really its fault, but the whole parking situation can get tricky, my last trip here we found a spot in the lot no problem, last time we were driving around for a while. Overall just a great venue to host an event.

I recently just had my reception here and it was wonderful! Its such a perfect venue. Inside the hall its very cozy and charming and outside you have a beautifully lit patio and views of bay. What more could you ask for. Nancy Miller, the event manager, was easy and flexiable to work with. Some of my girlfriends have been getting married and telling me there horror stories with the venues they have choosen and I was so, so happy that I choose the MBWC for my reception. They made my wedding day a special one. Thanks Nancy!!!

We just had our wedding reception at the Mission Beach Woman’s Club this past weekend and our experience was fantastic. Nancy, the coordinator was extremely accomodating and helpful. She was friendly and very flexible with what we wanted to do. The venue itself is very cozy with a cottage like feel. All of our guests felt comfortable and enjoyed the evening. Thank you so much!
