    When I heard the annual Christmas party was being held at Ultimate Skybox- I had no idea what this place was. After checking Yelp & peeping the photos- I knew we had to RSVP! LOL Yes! It's all about that view! And thankfully rain was NOT in the forecast because nobody wants to feel they have to be indoors when there's clearly a spacious outdoor area to utilize. Down below, Petco park hosted the Holiday Market. And form our vantage point, seeing all the festive Christmas lights below & along our evening horizon was breathtaking. The patio had a10 foot (I think) fire pit with various seating areas. High stools, sofas, cushioned seats. Enough space to spread out and not feel cramped. Cocktail hour was pork beef sliders, Jamaican jerk chicken, crostini w/ balsamic drizzled veggies, white bean purée w/ bacon pieces on sliced cucumber. Attendees had to go to open bar for beverages. Staff was polite/ professional/ and great sense of humor. When it was dinner service, balsamic dressing was inside gravy boats. Salads were spinach blend with cranberries, walnuts, & feta cheese. Since guests were not informed ahead of time what the actual menu was- I told our server I didn't like feta cheese. She quickly brought a replacement salad w: the feta cheese. Soon afterwards, the manager rushed to our table & inquired if there was a vegan at our table. I laughed so loud & explained my dislike of feta cheese- but, please don't give me a vegan dinner plate! I would happily participate in real protein for dinner. Staff was always quick to bus whatever dishes were done with- and in between bites, I was enjoying table side conversation- staff wanted to bus my salad & dinner plates- but, I had to keep reminding them that I'm still enjoying my meal. Dessert was a variety of cake slices: chocolate with vanilla frosting; red velvet and cream cheese; and lemon cake with lemon frosting. Even if you arrive in the lobby 5 minutes before the event start time- second the ground floor will not allow you to the Skybox.

    Toast Catering was Amazing!

    This venue is in a league of its own! No comparison to anything else out here. I began by sending an email with interest in this venue for a corporate Christmas party. I had never been here but I found it on my trusted Yelp. Amanda replied quickly with a phone call. I got all the information I needed from her and scheduled a visit within a few days. She held our date with no pressure until we got to see it in person. Eye-popping-wows! No exaggeration. From the moment we drove up to the building, to taking in the 15th floor penthouse views, we were literally in heaven. I'd have to write pages of paragraphs to describe the magnificence of this space so just trust me- book it! Amanda and Katie were such a pleasure to work with. They'd reply to my calls and texts within minutes which made my event planning very seamless. Our guests were awed by this place and couldn't stop complimenting us for holding our party here. I am really looking forward to planning our next shindig here!

    I got married at the Skybox last weekend. It was better than I could have imagined. I used to work in this tower which is how I knew about the top floor. The weather was great - the views of Coronado, Point Loma, the stadium were phenomenal. My wedding was around 100 people, it felt super intimate. The team that we worked with leading to the wedding (Stephanie & Amanda) were super helpful to answering questions to make sure we had everything covered! We had majority out of town guests, it was super convenient to several downtown hotels within walking distance. All of the preferred vendors were great and made my decision making process so much easier to plan the wedding! I would highly recommend.

    Went here for a wedding last night. Overall, venue was gorgeous with a view of Petco Park. Padres game was going on so it was extremely loud. Good for baseball loving couple. Lovely sunset for beautiful lighting for photos after ceremony. Cocktail apps were amazing. Wedding had food stations from caterers that the venue uses. Overall, nice spot to have a one of a kind wedding but something was wrong with mic (breaking) during the ceremony so alotta confused guests. During reception, some guests did not have any seats at a table so that was disappointing. Parking was underground though and venue was easy to locate so no complaints there.

    Beautiful view

    Great venue for an upscale party, with about 100 people. The views are AMAZING, with a beautiful sunset and perfect access to what is going on at Petco that night. We were there for a birthday party, and from the looks of it, the venue has everything for a great party: - easy to find location, in gaslamp - beautiful view - bar - stage and audio for live band/DJ/speeches - nice bathrooms - food stations If you're looking for a sit down dinner, I'm not sure if they're able to provide that, but our party hosts had food stations and tons of hors d'oeuvre being passed around. Food was pretty good too. Not sure about the parking situation since we walked there from our hotel. We had a great time, and as a bonus, Monster Jam was going on at Petco the night we were there, so it was extra entertainment provided. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking to host an unforgettable party.

    If I could give this location and their staff a million stars, I would. They were fantastic. My husband and I do not live in California so I had flown out to look at a few venues, none of them being the Skybox. I told him I narrowed it down to two. Then right before we both had the opportunity to come out to look at the two I had chosen, we saw the Skybox on the Wedding-Spot and the Knot. My husband said we "HAD" to check it out. I called Amanda and she was the nicest person ever. We booked our appointment and the minute we walked in, my husband said: "This is it". The Skybox is stunning and has some of the best views in San Diego. It is non-traditional and made us feel like we truly had a unique wedding. Before the wedding, we were introduced to our wedding coordinator, Chauncey. Chauncey is one of the sweetest people! She is so experienced and organized. I'm a little OCD and she was able to handle my expectations, meet them, and go above and beyond them. Both her and Amanda were always willing to speak with me on the phone and answer any questions/concerns I had. They were able to point me in the right direction as far as a caterer goes and give recommendations for all our other vendors. At the wedding, all our guests expressed how beautiful the venue was. We were told that it was one of the best weddings and that the view from the venue made it. Our guests were extremely happy because everything ran seamlessly. I never had to worry about anything because Chauncey was there t the whole time. She would come up to me about 5 minutes before we had to do the next event (i.e. father-daughter dance, cake cutting, etc.) and ask if Philip (my husband) and I were ready to move on or if we wanted a few more minutes. Honestly, the care and attention she and her staff that day gave were beyond excellent. Chauncey made sure we ate that day, had a drink in our hands, and were overall happy. The venue is drop-dead gorgeous, but the staff deserves all the praise. I will recommend this place 11 out of 10 times.

    The view from the balcony is breathtaking.

    If you want to WOW your guests and have the most beautiful wedding then book the Skybox now! From the first day, Stefanie and Amanda were so pleasant to work with and always very responsive with my many questions. When our day finally came (after postponing twice) our coordinator Amber helped give me exactly what I wanted. There isn't anything I would change about that day or with any of the staff. I hope to be back at this venue one day because it is so beautiful!

    Gorgeous but too small for both wedding and reception for 120-guests. Even on a cloudy overcast day the views are stunning. Thank you for letting us preview your venue!

    WEDDING TIME!!! On top of San Diego, view of Petco Park when the Padres playing the SFGiants, and vows for the "I DOs". VENUE: Perfect venue for the wedding. Amazing city views of San Diego. Great photos opps on a summer day in mid-July, spacious for a 150 count intimate wedding. Outdoor space, indoor floor, and a bar! Also, if you are having a wedding here guests get free parking downstairs - just mention the wedding. Loves it.

    This Place is STUNNING!! We had the opportunity of celebrating some friends of ours wedding reception up here in the Ultimate Skybox in the Diamondview Tower. The views are unbelievable and the setup was gorgeous! Perfect views of Petco park, the San Diego skyline & the bay. They had a 12 foot long outdoor fireplace. They also had a security guy holding us down all night lol.. This is definitely an amazing place and if you ever get the chance to come up here don't skip out. If it wasn't so far for us, I would suggest this being where we have our reception. OOOOO 5 out 5 Afros

    We took an Uber over here but I believe the parking is pretty easy in the garage. We went to a wedding here and I love being on the highest floor to see a view that overlooks downtown, the Coronado Bridge, and Petco Park. There is a nice outdoor seating area as well as a bar inside. It's very industrial inside.

    Such an amazing, beautiful venue! The floor's reflection and windows were so magical!
    Lina P.

    Picking a wedding venue was tough! My husband and I are city people and love the urban feel. We checked out so many places and this one was even better than what we expected... I was so happy I found The Ultimate Skybox! It has the most amazing views all around, windows from floor to ceiling, and not to mention the best staff. Julia was our wedding coordinator and was awesome. So friendly and down to earth. We were suppose to have our wedding on the balcony, but there was a big chance of rain, so we had to have it inside... and it turned out, in my opinion, even better inside. The way the windows made reflections on the glossy wood floors was so beautiful. It was so magical. I also loved how our guests could hang out on the heated balcony or inside during the reception. They have everything you could ever need for an amazing wedding! Such an amazing experience! Thank you guys so much!

    This venue is absolutely stunning! The views are phenomenal, and the Creative Affairs staff that runs it are super helpful and coordinated. Amanda and Stephanie helped us put together an amazing wedding here! If you have the opportunity to host an event at the Skybox, do it! It's worth it.

    See all

I first discovered SD Made when I booked a scent‑making session with an artist who had her storefront/studio inside the warehouse. I was instantly intrigued and wanted to learn more. That's when I found out they host events, offer coworking spaces, conference rooms, podcast rooms, and rentable studios for artists and creatives of all kinds. I knew immediately this was the perfect coworking space for me as I stepped into my next career chapter. Their pricing is reasonable, the amenities are great, and the people are cool, like‑minded, and welcoming. It's a laid‑back coworking environment -- something surprisingly hard to find in San Diego. Even though I no longer rent a coworking space, I stay connected through their local events and by supporting the artists and creatives who work there. I now come here to buy ceramics, candles, scents, and other beautiful goods. Whether you're a community member looking for fun, free local events, an artist searching for a studio, someone needing a coworking space, or a person wanting to host an event -- this space is amazing.
