We recently got married here, and despite the weather having chances of rain, the staff was very good at helping us brainstorm and manage our expectations. Mandi was our hero; she knew our vision, and we always felt informed and supported by her. Not to mention, the vendors the club recommended were wonderful and reputable. We had lots of great meetings, and even though there is a lot to decide for your own wedding, Mandi helped put us at ease time and time again. Lastly, our ceremony was a Hindu ceremony, and it was really helpful to have the option to do an indoor or outdoor wedding here in case of heavier rain--but we happened to luck out! I highly recommend Cuvier Club and definitely suggest going to their bi-yearly extravaganza, which is well worth the price to try out all they have to offer. Thanks for the wonderful wedding! read more

My wife and I got married on January 10th 2026 at the Cuvier Club. Request Jordan for you wedding coordinator you will NOT regret it. She single handedly made this review a 5 star. She was well organized, full of great energy, and extremely flexible when handling our wedding party and their request during the day. The girl was meant to manage ans handle weddings because me and my wife were stress free the whole day. We did have some issues with price and transparency but, like I said Jordan, CARRIED this review into a 5 star. read more

11/10 - The BEST of the BEST If you're getting married at the Cuvier Club, do yourself the biggest favor and request Brianna as your coordinator. She was truly the heartbeat of our wedding day. From the moment we met her, she brought this calm, confident energy that made us feel instantly taken care of. Brianna anticipated every need before we even knew we had it. She handled every detail with such care, made the entire day flow flawlessly, and somehow managed to keep us completely stress-free the entire time. She communicated beautifully with our vendors, kept everything perfectly on schedule, and made sure we were always exactly where we needed to be -- all while being the warmest, kindest presence in the room. There were so many little moments where she went above and beyond for us, and I will never forget how supported and celebrated she made us feel on the most important day of our lives. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. Brianna isn't just a coordinator -- she's magic. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. Thank you, Brianna, for giving us the wedding day of our dreams. read more

Lovely time at the Cuvier Club celebrating my cousin and his fiancée. The views were breathtaking and the weather was perfect! The venue itself was a little drive away but it had unspeakable elegance. Had a great time! read more

We were here for a family member's wedding recently. What an amazing venue this was. From the moment we arrived for the rehearsal the day before the wedding to the end of the reception on the big, the staff and service were first class and on point. The coordinator, Jordan, was reliable, helpful, friendly and available. It's hard to believe she has only been working here for a few months. The cocktail hour and reception were onsite at Cuvier Club and the wedding ceremony took place a five-minute walk away at the Wedding Bowl. Wedding Day couldn't have been more perfect with the full sun coming out of the foggy day a few minutes before the ceremony started. The only small hiccup was the security staff who were a bit rude and impolite to the guests. I think they are outsourced to a vendor so maybe a good idea for Wedgewood to take a look at that partnership for improvement opportunities. read more

A non-negotiable for us was our ceremony at the wedding bowl. We secured the ceremony location first and then booked the Cuvier Club because of proximity and all inclusive. The staff is really what makes this venue. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to answer questions or help. All my inquiries were responded to within 24 hours. Amanda was our day of coordinator. She kept everything going and did a fantastic job with last minute hiccups. I don't think we could have gone wrong with any coordinator they provide but glad it was Amanda. Same for the banquet captain Devin. He made sure to check in on us all night and was super friendly. As far as the recommended vendors, we went with True Photography, ExtremeDJ, SDBest rentals. We had our pictures back in less than a week and the photographer/ videographer paid attention to exactly what we wanted and were easy to work with. The DJ did an amazing job. He was on point and worked extremely well with the coordinator/banquet captain to keep us on track. SDBest rentals was also easy to work with and provided us with the extras we needed. I can see why the venue recommends them all and we would also recommend them. We did not use the recommended florist (Emerald & Ivy). I reached out to them and the girl just seemed like they were too busy, so I ended up finding a different florist that was a better fit. One thing I will say is to double check everything and get it in writing. We got a quote when we initially toured the venue good for 30 days. Within those 30 days the venue had a price increase and instead of giving us our original quote when we were ready to sign the contract, they gave us a contract with the increased prices. Had I not noticed before we signed, we would have paid much more. Once I pointed it out, the email seemed like they were doing us a favor by honoring the original quote. Overall I would highly recommend Cuvier Club by Wedgewood Weddings if you are looking for an all-inclusive. Their staff is wonderful and made the whole process stress free. read more

We got married at the Cuvier Club in January, and we can't stop telling people about how great our experience was. The planning process was easy, wedgewood has thought of everything to help reduce the stress of planning a wedding. You can customize as much or as little as you like but we found their preferred vendors were always better in terms of quality AND price which made it so easy to work with vendors familiar with the venue. We really appreciated that the price they told us on day 1 was the price we paid! The venue was perfect for us as we were able to have our ceremony with the ocean in the background while still having an indoor space for dinner/dancing at night. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding! read more

We tied the knot at Cuvier Club on Nov. 2nd, 2025, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience with the folks at CC and Wedgewood Weddings. First and most importantly, the venue itself is beautiful. The adjacent garden courtyard is intimate yet spacious, and there are plenty of lovely plants growing to provide privacy from the street and a nice backdrop for your ceremony (the space was nice and green, even in November). The beach side ceremony space is incredible as well, though our guest count was a bit too high for that spot. CC is a five-minute walk from the beach for stunning photos, and we found it relatively easy to find parking near the venue on the day-of, which made loading in and out a breeze. The staff is A+, and the CC planning crew went above and beyond to alleviate the stress of planning a wedding. They were very responsive to questions, communicated clearly, and sought to listen to and understand my fiancee and I (which was appreciated when the "wedding brain" kicked in and we stopped being able to put together coherent sentences). Also important to note that we had a Hindu ceremony and CC had no trouble accommodating our requests! That was a huge relief for us, since as an interracial couple, we knew that our wedding needed to be a marriage of cultures as well. During our wedding weekend, coordinators Amanda and Tyler stepped up and made sure everything was running smoothly. Not only did they stay cool and calm throughout (which helped us stay calm as well!) they also made sure that we had everything that we needed. They checked in frequently and took care of us, and we could not be more grateful for their professionalism and guidance. Their attention to detail and demeanor meant that we were able to relax and actually enjoy our wedding weekend! The vendors that CC partners with are also phenomenal and do excellent work! Not to mention the food and drinks were incredible. We've received endless compliments about the drinks and food since the reception! The bartender for our event was very professional and mixed excellent cocktails. We brought in our own recipes for our signature drinks and the CC bartender (I'm sorry I can't remember his name) made them perfectly. The other standard cocktails were, according to our guests, also very well made and high-quality. We're so grateful and thankful that we found this venue! We never dreamed our wedding day would come together so perfectly, and it's all thanks to the folks at CC. I cannot recommend CC/Wedgewood Weddings enough. read more

This was a wonderful day for me, my husband, all our family and friends. Cuvier Club made everything so easy! They had done all the hard work of getting the best vendors that work with them directly. Including everything in their Elite Package - photographer/videographer, florist, officiant, DJ, baker, wedding coordinator, and catering - just made organizing this day super easy, barely an inconvenience! Discounted rates for things like the photographer/videographer and the florist that work with them helped us save money for extra items not included in the package. There are two options for the ceremony - Garden or Wedding Bowl. We chose the Wedding Bowl to be married on the cliffside. There is a permit fee needed from the City of San Diego to make sure it's free for the big day. The wedding coordinator made sure the actual day went smoothly. It was a truly great experience. Thank you so much! read more

We had an amazing coordinator, Brianna Johnson (Bri) for our February wedding who was a great communicator and time keeper with great attention to detail.

My husband, Chris and I got married this past December and had our ceremony at the Wedding bowl and cocktail hour/ reception at the Cuvier Club. It is hard to find the words that truly capture how beautiful in every aspect the day was. As a bride, I truly had no worries and got to fully embrace the experience with ease thanks to Mandi, Tyler and the crew. Literally everything was taken care of and if I had any questions or concerns they were readily available. They are both so sweet with the absolute best energy. WE LOVE YOU MANDI, you are an angel on Earth! I will never question if all of the time, effort and money was worth the experience because it truly was and I wish I could replay the day over and over. Wedgewood weddings and their crew will forever have such a special place in our hearts. read more

My daughter married at this venue. It's an all inclusive venue that offers different packages depending on budget. It was a beautiful day and we could not say enough good about this place. It's almost near the ocean in La Jolla and you can get photos taken by the ocean but you have to drive there. The venue offers all the professional staff needed to cater to every aspect of your special day and we definitely felt that way throughout the event. Our daughter's event was so awesome that guests wanted an encore event afterwards. The food spread was bomb! Open bar was amazing and the mixologists were top notch!! Check out the venue!! 100% A+++ read more

My husband and I had our wedding at the Cuvier club on 7/21/25 and we had the best experience. Our wedding planner was Mandi and she went above and beyond to make our experience so smooth from day 1 to the end of the wedding day. We were looking for a wedding venue that could accommodate our own touches such as food, some decor, and florals and Mandi assured us we could put as little or as much of our own planning into the wedding. Mandi helped us on the wedding day set up with my decor and florals and it turned out better than I could have imagined. All the vendors were amazing and while we catered our own food to the venue, the food provided was delicious. If you plan a wedding here, I highly suggest using Mandi. We checked out other wedgewood locations in La Jolla and Mandi was the most down to earth person we met with. Thank you!! read more

Our planning and wedding day experience was absolutely amazing due to the hard work and dedication our coordinator Mandi put in. She was beyond amazing at answering our questions and kept everything running smoothly day of. Our banquet captain Tyler was also so amazing! So kind and brought us whatever we needed throughout dinner and onward. Cuvier clubs vendors are amazing as well.

We had an amazing experience at Cuvier Club - Marissa was AMAZING & with us every step of the way. She listened intently to all our requests & executed our vision flawlessly. Marissa really went above & beyond for us, & even sent us 80+ pics/videos of the day which was so kind & thoughtful! Our banquet captain, Devin, was also amazing & checked up on us all through the night. The Cuvier team truly made our experience seamless & perfect - the Wedding Bowl was stunning & the farmhouse tables were set up beautifully. Would highly recommend Wedgewood/Cuvier Club! read more

We got married at the Cuvier Club Garden ceremony on 9/4. I couldn't be happier with this venue/company. My husband and I currently live in Texas and wanted to marry in San Diego. I was over stressing on how difficult it was going to be to plan my wedding 2000 miles away. Little did I know how easy it would end up being to just by choosing Wedgewood. Our first meeting through zoom was with Mandi, let me tell you I absolutely LOVE this woman! She made everything so easy. If I had any questions Mandi was there. I also had the pleasure meeting with a few other lovely ladies that were also very helpful. Fast forward to my wedding week I was so beyond excited to know that Mandi was going to be my coordinator for the day of the wedding. She made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more. My absolute favorite part was when we sat down at our sweet heart table Mandi had printed out and framed a picture of our first kiss!! Like come on how did she do that so fast!! I recommend Cuvier Club to everyone 10/10 and if you're lucky enough to have Mandi as your coordinator just know she is going to make sure you have the BEST day of your life!!! Thank you so much Cuvier and a million thanks to Mandi!!! read more

Cuvier club was amazing! I cannot stop recommending wedgewood weddings to everyone I talk to. I love how their packages are customizable! We booked them back in 2023 for our 7/18/25 wedding. I don't think Shannon works there anymore but we really liked her vibe and she was so sweet and honest!!! The day of the wedding we worked with Jordan and she made the day go so smoothly - seriously not one thing went wrong! Our guests loved the food too. Their appetizers were so tasty! They honestly made wedding planning such a breeze and all the vendors they work with are so good at what they do- we knew we were in great hands! read more

We toured the venue with Jordan in June 2025 and LOVED this venue!!! We booked a day or two later asap after figuring out a date and from start to finish the entire Cuvier Club team was just outstanding! They made it all so easy and organized in making decisions and planning! The vendors that were included in our package were AMAZING!!! (Emerald and Ivy Florist, Supreme Entertainment DJ, their catering, Sugarbears Bakery, SD Rentals, hopefully I'm not forgetting anyone)!!! They were all vendors we would have genuinely chosen even if they were not included - that's how great they are!!! They all made our vision a reality. We did use our own photographer as my cousin is a wedding photographer, but almost all others were theirs! Jordan was our day of coordinator and she was THE BEST!!!! Amanda and Devin also helped a ton that day!!! They all just have the absolute best energy and went out of their way to make our day so so special. It felt like being with friends anytime they were around! We are so grateful we found Cuvier!!! THE BEST!!!! Also it rained on our day and it was EVEN MORE MAGICAL!!!!! Rain or shine it will be amazing at this venue!! Jordan helped so much that day since the weather ended up changing a couple hours before the ceremony. She made it so stress free!! THANK YOU CUVIER TEAM!!!!!! Also, shout out to Jessica their GM as she helped us a ton as well!!!!! read more

My husband and I absolutely loved every part of being married at the Cuvier Club! We had the pleasure of working with Mandi as our coordinator from start to finish and couldn't recommend her enough.

The venue is stunning and all the vendors are incredible. We truly wouldn't have changed a single thing.

we LOVED working with the Cuvier Team! We met with a handful of people during our planning process and everyone was a dream to work with and listened to what we were envisioning! Fast forward to our final meeting and wedding we were lucky enough to have Mandi as our coordinator and she was the best! she understood everything that I was saying and gave suggestions that I would have not thought of, she double checked that everything was perfect for us and we were taken care of. The pass off towards the end of the night to Devin our banquet captain was so smooth, and the Devin took care of us the rest of the night with the same grace, patience, thoughtfulness Mandi did! absolute dream team if you ask me! -Chloe G. read more

Where to even begin...we cannot say enough amazing things about the staff (and vendors) at the Cuvier Club. This was the first and only venue we interviewed with and even though we had to do the interview over Zoom (we live in the Bay and didn't see the venue until two months before our wedding) talking to Anders made us instantly sure that this was the one for us. Not only did they make it really really easy because of the all-inclusive option but the vendors that are part of the package are phenomenal, each and every one of them. Planning a wedding from another part of the state is not easy but honestly, the staff of the Cuvier Club (especially Anders) made it feel like we were supported every single step of the way. As for the day of, Anders, Selina, and Morgan were ABSOLUTELY incredible! Selina asked all the right questions and gave the best support and Anders showed up to help "just because". We had crazy wind the day of and I was freaking out about it being too cold and they both made sure we were still able to pull off our vision perfectly. Morgan was by our side the whole reception making sure we were not only on schedule but AHEAD of schedule (when does that even happen?!) Our guests had nothing but incredible things to say about the food (Renato made the best cupcakes), the venue (Mishelle's florals were stunning), the music (Alex is awesome!), the bartender (Asher's the best!), and the party and many told us it was the best wedding they've been to (purely because of the amazing staff)! We just can't thank this venue enough for every part of this experience--we feel like we became friends with them throughout the past year and we recommend them times a million! Best wedding ever! read more

We just had our wedding here and we seriously could not recommend this venue enough! They made the entire process so easy from start to finish.

You won't regret having your wedding here! read more

My husband and I booked this venue for our 21st anniversary/wedding party. We renewed our vows at the Wedding Bowl and then had our reception/party at the Cuvier Club. From the moment we started planning a year ago, everyone was so helpful in planning our magical day the way we wanted it. They even gave us great ideas to make it even better! We had zoom meetings throughout the year to make decisions and plan things out. We used all of their recommendations for hair/makeup-Fuse, music-Supreme DJ entertainment (DJ Seize), flowers- Emerald & Ivy, cake- SugarBears, photo/video-True Photography, and Level up Event Design-custom digital gobo. The day of our Event, everything was so organized and everyone was ready to go. One thing that stood out to me the most was how calm and collected everyone was. When I showed up I was running late and stressing. Brianna and Amanda were so calm and reassuring that everything was going to be just fine. Seeing them calm and not stressing made me calm down and I was able to focus. They were amazing! They got me where I needed to be, and guided me the whole way through. I'm so grateful for them. I also want to give a shout out to Tyler our Banquet Captain for the night! He made sure everything went smoothly from the food, to the cake and our late night snacks! Overall, we had the best experience and got so many compliments from our guests! They also had an amazing time and thought everything was beautiful! Thanks again! read more

We had our wedding here on 07/11/25 and it was amazing. Working with Cuvier Club by Wedgewood was a pleasure and they made everything super easy and stress free for us.

The services at Cuvier club were very amazing. We Devin and I had our wedding services at Cuvier club last week. In regard to the day of services it was beyond perfect our coordinator Brianna was able to make sure everything ran smoothly. One big disappointment was the fact that we paid the charge for the vases and flowers for our guest to take home and we were told by our guests that the staff mentioned they they were unable to take the vases only the flowers. That was very embarrassing for us as we paid a lot of money until we clarified the fact that we had already paid for the vases and flowers. Some guests were unable to leave with the centerpieces, and that was again quite embarrassing. Devin and I paid for the elite services where services were told to be covered before speaking with the actual wedding coordinator a few weeks before. We were promised the lighting wall with our names and the love lettering on the stage at the venue and also games at cocktail hour however when we had our final meeting with the Brianna, our wedding coordinator, she pointed out that was going to be an additional charge. At this point we didn't even have the time to argue so we kindly declined, we were a bit disappointed because initially it was never implied to be an additional charge. We appreciate all the services that were offered. We loved the coordination and agendas to meet at particular times which helped us stay on top of the wedding date. We appreciate everything. We had a wonderful time Devin and I falling in love all over again. Thank you Cuvier club and Brianna our wedding coordinator for a spectacular wedding day. read more

We had a truly wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Cuvier Club. We selected the Elite Package, and from start to finish, the team made everything seamless. Brianna guided us through all our planning meetings and answered every question--even when we hadn't done all our homework! From the very first meeting, we shared our vision (neutral black-and-white), and she helped us bring it to life with attention to every little detail. On the big day, Karamia was our day-of coordinator and an absolute sweetheart. She was incredibly attentive and appreciated how we labeled and organized each decor box to help her team execute efficiently. I highly recommend all future couples do this--it made a huge difference! We held our ceremony at the Wedding Bowl, and it was a dream. My now-husband surfs regularly, so incorporating the ocean was a must--but without the hassle of sand. The Wedding Bowl was the perfect spot: oceanfront views, no sand in sight, and accessible thanks to a ramped walkway. A 10/10 ceremony location! We also really appreciated the vendor partnerships through Cuvier Club: SugarBears Sweet Provisions: We opted for a cutting cake and cupcakes--our guests couldn't get enough of the strawberry ones! Supreme DJ Entertainment: Cesar was fantastic. He truly made the night. Level Up Event Design: Federico was amazing to work with! We added uplighting and a monogram wall to elevate the romantic, moody vibe. Emerald and Ivy: Mishele was such a joy. She helped us stay on budget without sacrificing style. Be open about your numbers--she'll work magic within your means. Your Wedding Belles: Our officiant created a beautiful, personalized ceremony based on a thoughtful pre-event survey. It was so true to us, we skipped public vows entirely. Wedgewood Catering: We went with the buffet and upgraded to prime rib--highly recommend! It was generous, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. The only small downside: the bridal suite doesn't have a restroom due to the historical design of the building (built in the 1920s). But otherwise, this venue was everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommend! read more

Cuvier Club was a dream venue for us. Jordan was our coordinator and she made everything so seamless and easy on the day. And the prompt and easy communication throughout the wedding planning process made the wedding planning process so much more easier to handle and manage. Devon was also a dream to work with for the evening of the wedding. He made sure all our decor and items were packed away, gave us some extra food to take home, and always made sure we had a drink in our hands. Overall, incredible group to be working with and we had truly the best day of our lives! read more

This place is so quaint and cute for weddings, little farmhouse feel with a big catering presence as the staff quickly caters to your needs and offers a private event experience.

What a magical experience working with the Cuvier Club team! From the initial tour of the venue to the several wedding planning meetings we had. They are SUPER organized, if that's what you're looking for, go with this venue!! No outside wedding coordinator is necessary, trust me, I was concerned about that! But they are all amazing! Our wedding was August 29, 2025 at the Wedding Bowl and reception was at Cuvier Club. Let me just say that our experience was absolutely incredible with all of the staff! Our coordinator was Amanda, she is so organized, professional and such an honor to work with! She didn't miss a beat the entire day. I want to point out that she had an injury to her foot and she didn't let that stop her. She has that "the show must go on" attitude. You can tell she loves what she does! She was direct with our rehearsal (which I loved) and helped me make decisions! She orchestrated our wedding day so beautifully, kept me calm and pumped me up before walking down the aisle. She was even in the mix helping my mom and MOH to bustle my wedding dress! We love a girls girl!! She even surprised us with a photo she must've taken on her phone and a personalized card waiting for us at our sweetheart table! What a nice, thoughtful touch! Devin, our banquet captain was also incredible. Super welcoming, accommodating and we never went without food/drinks! He was so calm, cool and collected. He kept the party going all night and helped us gather our belongings at the end of the night which was super helpful! He also wrote us a very sweet card, such a sentimental touch. Jordan and Marissa are also team members that we met with and helped us plan our wedding as well. Both were SO kind and offered great recommendations to help our day run smoothly. THANK YOU so much! We love you guys and we will cherish these memories forever! read more

High Value Budget Friendly Venue We had the highest package as we were planning a large event and wanted an open bar. This was by far the best value we found around San Diego - we only had a few venues that could really handle our guest count and the other would have been at minimum $20K more than what we wound up spending at Cuvier. I would strongly recommend this to anyone planning a event and looking for a traditional ceremony - reception event. Pros: -Mandi: She was our coordinator. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and helped reassure us that we were in shape and ready to go. Super helpful with working through all the MANY details of planning a wedding. Can't recommend her enough!! -Bar service was good! We had the call liquor package -Amazing support team: Cuvier team is extremely responsive and helpful with all questions. Customer service was truly next level -Food: shockingly good! This was not a priority for us at all but I was super pleased. We served salmon and short rib with veggies and a starter salad. We received a bunch of compliments - and large batches of salmon are hard to do decently! I was really impressed. -Beautiful and customizable space: gorgeous ceremony on patio. We have GORGEOUS patio pictures from our reception. A caveat, though, is that the sun was in the guests' eyes during the entire ceremony. It didn't bother us at the front, though. Yes, it was our call to host before sunset, but that is also their preferred timing. The 2 hours before sunset has the sun angled directly at the guests if you're using the patio. -Incredible flexibility! Cons: -advertises as holding 200(+?) - I wouldn't try to seat more than 175 (we did, and it was tight - partially because we overestimated our need for dance space...) -Didn't have the cues with the DJ set for the bride's entrance - not a big deal, but having so many people bring it up makes it feel more noticeable. We worked with the partner DJ, so I assumed we didn't have to cover this stuff, but we should have confirmed ALL cues. -Photobooth and audio guestbook (from the partner DJ) were malfunctioning most of the night. It's a bummer to pay for these fun pieces only to have them be so intermittent. The teams should be better trained to troubleshoot their & their preferred partners' equipment. -Cake cutting: this was set up so our backs were to the entire reception because the dessert table was along the stage. Notes: Wedgewood has this great planning binder they give you when you sign up. Unless you have planned a lot of events, don't expect this to replace a planner. Their staff will help with any questions but will do exactly what you ask. Unless you know the right way to do stuff, you'll probably make requests/choices that are not great! Learn from our mistakes: -do not seat ANYONE on the stage!! Although it was the groom's request, they should not have allowed it. With the size of the supplied table, it was extremely close to the edge, creating some safety concerns; this was the only 'regret'. read more

I truly can not thank Cuvier Club & all of their amazing team for making our wedding process so easy seamless & absolutely perfect :) From the beginning we felt heard & supported by Celina who answered all of our questions/concerns. Trying to plan an out of state wedding can be challenging but I didn't for once feel stress because Cuvier Club takes care of all the nitty gritty details! Mandi absolutely made sure the last few weeks went by smoothly & helped ease the stress of any of the last minute details that needed to be taken care of. The day of was coordinated perfectly by her she is the sweetest :) Our banquet captain Tyler was so friendly & made sure my husband & I were taken care of the entire night! I cannot say enough good things about this company! So happy we picked them! We have already recommended to so many family & friends. Thank you so much Cuvier Club team read more

We toured Cuvier Club in our wedding venue search and fell in love with Mandi, one of the wedding experts! She came so prepared and went above and beyond for me (and my whole family). She spent the longest with us among all our tours, she answered every small question, and really got to know all of us. We unfortunately decided to go with another venue, but I wish I could still work with Mandi for my wedding. Would highly recommend her for anyone planning their wedding at the Cuvier Club! read more

Came here for a wedding. It was beautiful but definitely over packed with people. Appetizers before the wedding were delicious. -Spinach dip. Bread was hard, but the dip was yummy. 4.5/5 -Slider. Bread was hard on the actual sliders, but everything on it tasted delicious. 4/5 Actual dinner for the wedding wasn't as good as the appetizers. -Salad. Fresh lettuce. 4/5 -Chicken breading was soggy. 2.5/5 -Beef was over cooked. 3/5 -The vegetables were my favorite part of dinner. 3.75/5 Definitely had a lot of different areas outside of the main room. They had casino tables outside which were fun. They had a little nook where they put a mirror photo booth. There were 2 bars. It was all around a great time. read more

I don't know exactly where to start, but Cuvier Club was absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end in making sure our day was special, and they succeeded in that a million times. My husband and I began our search in 2023 to find a wedding venue that was not only nice and beautiful, but also warm and welcoming as an lGbt couple. We toured a few of the other Wedgewood owned venues that were more local to us in Los Angeles, each with their pros and cons, but before deciding on one of those, we decided to humor ourselves and take the 3 hour trip down to La Jolla to tour the Cuvier Club, and I am SO glad that we did. The Cuvier Club is absolutely beautiful. From the plant life, to the magical interior and the absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites, we knew immediately that this was the venue for us. Our first impression of the Cuvier Club was made so incredibly special by Anders. She was so incredibly informative, and we instantly felt a connection and knew that we were in good hands with her. She showed us around the venue, the various ceremony sites, and told us so much about the local area for places to take our wedding photos, where to have rehearsal dinners, and things to do for fun. The entire team - Anders, Lauren, Mandi, and later Janae and Selina - were absolutely wonderful. They always had smiles on their faces, helping to make our wedding day the best it could be. Like any event, nobody is perfect and there were some small hiccups along the way, but nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing that made a huge problem that couldn't have been corrected with ease. On our wedding day, because we resonated with Ander so well, we requested her to be our day-of coordinator because we had so much confidence in her, as a fellow member of the lgbt+ family, to make our day the best it could be and we could tell deep down in her heart that she truly cared about us and wanted our day to be perfect, and it was. In addition to Anders, on our wedding day, Federico was our banquet captain with Sofia as our head server, and they were on it. They made sure we were taken care of at every moment, and I couldn't commend them any more than I already do. 10's, 10's, 10's across the board! From the DJ, to the officiant, to the planning team, to the management, you were all so fantastic and perfect, and I truly could not thank you enough, especially as a same-sex couple, for making our day as amazing as it could be. It's not often that gay couples find a match, and even less often that they get married due to bigotry and hatred still shared by so many people, but you will find NONE of that here. They didn't even slightly treat us any differently, and again, I cannot thank Anders enough for making us feel so welcome in the establishment. I would recommend this venue so highly to anybody, but I recommend it SO SO SO SO SO SO highly to anyone who may be a same-sex couple looking to find a venue that will accept them without hesitation. read more

We searched high and low for a wedding venue in San Diego and were thrilled when we found the Cuvier Club in La Jolla! While many venues had flashy websites and personal tours, none offered the personalized service, flexible pricing, and warmth we found here. The Cuvier team exceeded our expectations from the start. The stunning venue, along with the Wedding Bowl Park ceremony site just two blocks away, was perfect. They stood out from the rest by providing a same-day, customized quote that perfectly matched our vision and fit within our budget. We were able to customize every aspect of our day, from the Hawaiian Luau menu to the ceremony music with DJ Alex. The food, especially the teriyaki chicken and kahlua pork, was a huge hit. We also brought in the live band Republic of Music, who made the cocktail hour, dinner, and reception unforgettable, and Emerald and Ivy delivered the most gorgeous Hawaiian floral arrangements. Clara from Chasing Light Photography captured every moment beautifully, and SugarBears Sweet Provisions created the most amazing cake with tropical flowers and glitter icing. If you need a reference for hair and make-up, we went with Alice at Secret Salon, they were fantastic! Mandi, our coordinator, was absolutely incredible! Her attention to detail, communication, Golf Cart driving skills, and warm energy truly made us feel like princesses. The venue is LGBTQ+ friendly, and we were so touched when they surprised us with a printed photo of our first kiss at our sweetheart table during dinner. The staff even took care of setting out our LED Glow Sticks, walked the cake slices around to guests, and packed up our decorations, easing the burden on our wedding party. Even though we weren't local to San Diego, planning from afar was stress-free thanks to their amazing communication and planning binder--Mandi, Lauren, Anders, Janae, Selina and the entire team were so responsive and accommodating. The entire evening flowed perfectly, and our guests can't stop raving about it. We highly recommend Cuvier Club to anyone seeking an unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you from the bottom of our big, happy hearts! It's rare to say we had the best day of our lives, but we truly did! With love, Holli and Courtney, 9/9/2024. read more

From our first tour to the wedding day, the Cuvier Club was absolutely incredible to work with. Anders, who did our tour and worked with us a lot throughout the planning process, was so knowledgeable, very organized, and just a genuine delight to be around. She was so kind and an absolute blast. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly thanks to our coordinator, Janae, and banquet captain, Morgan. Janae exceeded all our expectations and made the reception space look so stunning. She has such an eye for decorations and just knows how to make everything look great. She also did a great job of keeping everything on track and I never had to worry about anything. Additionally, all of the catering things went super smoothly thanks to Morgan and she made sure that we had plenty to eat and that our cups were never empty. I would really highly recommend the Cuvier Club to anyone, but especially those who are looking for a venue that makes the wedding planning process less stressful and takes care of a lot of the smaller things. I loved that our package included food/drinks, the DJ, most florals, all tables/chairs/linens, etc. All of their vendors are really great. The florist did an outstanding job, the food, drinks, and desserts were all great, and the DJ kept the energy up throughout the whole night. The only vendors I needed to book separately were a photographer and hair and makeup artist. We also chose to remove the officiant from the package since we wanted a friend to do it. If you're considering the Cuvier Club for your wedding, do yourself a favor and just book it. The venue is stunning and the people are great. read more

First off, Ander, Anders, Anders--she was the absolute reason we booked our venue the same day we toured! From the start, she was super straightforward and honest, no fluff, and laid out all our options so we could really understand the full potential of the venue. She made sure we knew exactly what could and couldn't be done, which made the whole process so much easier. Plus, they had cupcakes for the staff that morning and she was sweet enough to give us one. Just those little gestures made us feel really welcomed. As we moved through the planning process, Anders continued to be a shining star at every meeting. She was training new staff, one of whom, Amanda, ended up taking over for our final meetings and the wedding day itself. I was initially bummed that we wouldn't have Anders on the big day, but Amanda honestly exceeded my expectations. She picked up right where Anders left off, handling everything with so much care and attention to detail. Amanda was so sweet, always checking in on us leading up to the wedding and executing our decorations perfectly on the day. She made sure everything went smoothly, no hiccups, no stress--just how you want it on your wedding day! The whole team of ladies at the venue is super skilled, and I truly can't recommend them enough. They made our day perfect from start to finish read more
