    The stage and projection of the monogram

    The reason for my San Diego trip was to witness and be in two of my good friends wedding at Sunset Temple. I was fortunate enough to have one of my bucket list item be crossed out to be a bridesmaid (lol). Hearing stories of this venue when they booked it, they made it sound like a huge hall but, when you view the California/Miami Vice colored building you wouldn't know how gorgeous and intimately roomy the interior is. Our wedding coordinator Lesly Hernandez and the surrounding staff were the best and there is absolutely nothing negative about these kind and hard-working individuals. The best team you can ask for to help you coordinate your wedding. Lesly helped us coordinate everything from walking down the aisle, informing us that we're ahead of schedule to meet early for the grand entrance, when she was short staffed she handled the bar area herself, and made sure everything ran as smoothly and on time as can be. Her amazing team even packed and boxed all of our centerpieces, signs, and decorations for an easy move. Amazing! The staff came out and helped us move all of our wedding things including bringing out wheeled carts for easy transitions from the venue to the car and helping us move our keg with their dolly. They made the transition of setting up, being punctual (even early), to taking down and moving out with as little problem and hassle one can only dream of. The venue is great for an intimate wedding. They provide all the electronics you may need and have no problems answering questions you may have. On the stage area they have a projector where you can display your monogram, slide show, video, or whatever you may want to display. The engineer was a great help with providing information for best color scheme and dimension when i had to create the monogram. He also didn't hesitate to ask when he needed help with the slideshow... as we try to figure out what was wrong with the file trusted us enough to step aside and let us figure it out (thank goodness we did). The venue have 3 floors, the newly renovated and carpeted basement where one side of the wedding can get ready. It isn't well ventilated and gets really hot but, they were kind enough to bring in a A/C to keep us cool. The stage and entrance area where of course all the action happens with seating (for us seating then dining) there is also a nice sized bar area in the back. And the balcony where the other wedding party got dressed and later converted to a a lounge/social area while the staff set the dining tables. The establishment decor and just the surrounding is just beautiful but dim (your photographer may need to set up a flash sync). Another fun idea is that the location is located right next to the large North Park sign. You can request to go to the roof during sunset or when the sign is lit and take a awesome wedding couple photo incorporating the sign. Great venue for weddings, beautiful decor and style, with amazing people working in it.

    On April 6, 2014, we presented the first of what will hopefully be many concerts at Sunset Temple. Listen Shows' goal is to present the best-sounding blues, jazz and roots concerts in San Diego. Sunset Temple's ballroom is visually stunning, and acoustically very workable for our mixed vintage/modern sound reinforcement system. In the four months we spent planning the event with the owner, Claire, and her staff, we found them to be very helpful and accommodating. The rental and catering prices are very reasonable given how beautiful the space is, how popular North Park has become, and how good their food is (see Claire De Lune Coffee Lounge next door, owned and operated by the same folks.)

    Wow! This venue was a hit for our Music Video Release Party for Amen BK's song "One Sky Above". Everyone was so impressed with the venue... when they walked in the vibe, music and lights made the whole event feel professional and it was just beautiful! Love the vintage feel and character of the place. Huge THANK YOU's to Claire for her beautiful place. This is a hidden gem in North Park. And Todd was the man! He was wonderful to work with and he really went up and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. Plus he was so flexible and kind. Can not wait to come back and do another event at the Sunset Temple.

    Claire, Randy and Todd was exceptional at what they do, and things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without them .

    Nice venue that holds a lot of events. Came here for the first time for the 2025 san diego all…read morewomen poetry slam and it was amazing. It's pretty spacious but depending on the type of event, it may fill up quickly. They also hold dance classes such as salsa, swing and country line dancing. Looks like a lot of fun and hope to check those out soon! Street parking available.

    This review reflects the perspective of a swing dancer. Swing dance happens at Queen Bee's on…read moreTuesday evenings and consists of a lesson with a small dance party afterwards. The fee for the lesson and party is $15, for party only - $10. The announcement (https://www.queenbeessd.com/swign-dance) places the lesson at 6:30-7:30PM, the dance with DJ music is supposed to start at 7:30PM. On the day of my visit, the times were shifted by half an hour, so if you want to just dance, 8PM is the good time. The dance lesson by Mercedes Moore (yes, the great San Diego singer!) is excellent, most of the 20+ dancers appeared to be regulars and thus had accumulated significant amount of skill, yet due to small size of group, a true beginner should feel OK. Unlike most places in San Diego, this one has noticeably more leads (traditionally men) than follows (women), so this venue might be great for a true beginner follower. During the social party few more dancers appeared, but the group remained pretty small, and by 9PM it became hard to find a dance partner (the music was still going on). Some logistics: the free (street) parking is very limited. The best paid parking is across the street in a well-lit parking lot ($5 for two hours). The wooden floor is of OK quality, the seating is adequate for the small crowd. As always for small gatherings, bringing one's own dance partner is recommended, although on the day I have visited, it was easy for follows to find a lead. Overall: a true beginner follow should definitely check out this venue. An intermediate lead that wants just to dance, should consider bringing his own follower.

She answered every single one of my million questions, allowed me to your the space beforehand, worked with me when I needed to extend the time, and was available for questions the day of as well. Every guest absolutely loved the space and inquired about rentals as well. I love that the space blended itself to be set up exactly as we needed it and then after we were done, went right back to its default state. I definitely don't want to plan any more events soon as I am beyond worn out BUT I would love to host an event here again soon. Not many options for street parking but there is a very cost-efficient lot less than a block away.

Kasia was super quick about answering my questions and writing up a contract for the desired time and date. Jaz who i met when i toured the place was SO nice and helpful in showing me what i would need to do to check in and check out (super easy as well, similar to checking in and out of an airbnb). It's a really nice venue specifically for themed parties (mine was steampunk) bc it really is a blank slate that you can decorate to your taste. My guests were very impressed with the decor and venue. It's nothing super fancy, but it suited my needs exactly and my event was a success! One note that i would do differently and advise others about is bringing additional signage since it is kinda tucked away and also seeing if there will be other events on your chosen date that would impact loading, etc.
