We had our wedding reception at the UCSD Faculty Club in the Atkinson Pavilion. It was the perfect place for our wedding! My husband and I are both alumni of UCSD so it was a location with personal meaning for the both of us. We were the only event happening at the Faculty Club that day, so we did not have to worry about random people walking by or our guests getting lost. It was like we were in our own private world!

The banquet manager, Temo, always made sure we were taken care of and everything was to our liking during our wedding. Our wedding was better than we ever could have imagined thanks to the...
Read moreI do so many events here I can't count them all! This is my go-to spot to ensure a fabulous event. They have an all-star catering team, who will help you plan your event, a banquet manager who ensures that everything is set up just oh-so-perfectly, and who has the professional serving staff to guaranty that even the most important VIP event is carried out flawlessly. I am pretty fastidious when it comes to service, and this catering staff has service down to a T. Quiet servers who keep the dishes moving smoothly and silently, while attendees are concentrating on the key-note speaker. And the food is always artfully presented...
