WITH SAN DIEGO’S RANGE OF venues, your only problem will be picking which one to make yours. Whatever appeals to you— whether it’s an unusual backdrop, a mountaintop vista or something uniquely personal—the following venues won’t disappoint.
Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Who wouldn’t want tide pool animals as wedding guests? At the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, you can have just that. Overlooking La Jolla Shores and the Scripps campus, the aquarium’s three locations can accommodate intimate weddings or grand affairs of more than a thousand. All provide the dramatic backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and golden Southern California sunsets. 2300 Expedition Way, La Jolla, 858.534.7769, www.aquarium.ucsd.edu.
Wild Animal Park
Think a wedding on a grassy plain with giraffes, gazelles and rhinos roaming in an expansive backdrop is impossible? Not if your wedding is held at the world-famous Wild Animal Park, sanctuary to more than 400 animal species and home to unmatched natural scenery. Choose the Mombasa Island Lagoon Overlook for tropical birds and rippling water that reflects the setting sun; the Samburu Terrace for a breathtaking view of San Pasqual Valley; or the Heart of Africa safari for cascading waterfalls and a wedding replete with free-roaming herds. 15500 San Pasqual Valley, Escondido, 619.685.3259, www.sandiegozoo.org.
Petco Park
Petco Park is more than just a ballpark—it’s a baseball lover’s wedding dream come true! Who knew you could haul your diamond to Petco’s big diamond and get hitched all-American style, followed by a reception on the playing field? The park also offers a multitude of extras for a major-league wedding, from supplying autographed baseballs and bats to organizing a fireworks display. The events staff can even arrange for current Padres players to make an appearance! 100 Park Boulevard, 619.795.5025, www.petcoparkevents.com.
