WHERE TO SAY ‘I DO’ There’s a reason why couples from throughout the world come to San Diego to say “I do.” From the beachside resorts to the mountaintops of Julian to the swanky downtown, there’s a venue to suit the wishes of any couple. Even better, San Diego averages at least 200 sunny days per year, giving lovebirds the option to marry outdoors in gorgeous weather. If you’re dreaming of an oceanfront setting, there are an assortment of options up and down the coastline. You can choose a classic beach scene in Coronado, extravagance in La Jolla, a boho setting in Encinitas, or a modern vibe in Carlsbad. Many San Diego beaches are home to a variety of hotels, from five to three stars, giving couples the choice to have a ceremony outside and reception inside, all within budget. Perhaps the rustic outdoors is more up your alley—which San Diego County’s venues can also deliver with farmhouse options in San Marcos and Carlsbad, highlands in Fallbrook and Ramona, or ranches in East County. Looking for the privacy and stillness of San Diego’s desert? Make “I do” happen in Borrego Springs where many couples have had charming, intimate weddings under the warm sun. Perhaps, you enjoy all that is contemporary including downtown skyscrapers, dazzling lights, and world-famous art galleries. Downtown San Diego, Balboa Park,
