Our Venue

A beautiful location with special meaning to us

Why We Chose This Venue

This venue holds a special place in our hearts. It's a place deeply connected to Hilary's family — her Uncle Mitch, who has since passed, spent many years working here and left a lasting legacy. In his honor, a nearby beach is even named after him: Playa De Perdue.

Beyond the personal ties, it's a truly breathtaking spot, perched above the ocean with views that feel like something out of a dream.

Adding to the meaning, our dear friends Suzie and Andy were married here as well. They've been an incredible support in helping us secure this location and plan the wedding of our dreams.

What to Expect

We're so excited to celebrate with you on the last day of summer! Our wedding will take place outdoors in beautiful Point Loma, overlooking the ocean. The ceremony, dinner, and dancing will all be under the open sky, with the bar located indoors nearby.

Since we'll be right along the coastline, you can expect a light coastal breeze as the evening sets in. In late September, Point Loma evenings are typically mild and comfortable, with temperatures around 74–78°F (23–26°C) at 5 PM, cooling down to about 65–70°F (18–21°C) by 9–10 PM. We recommend bringing a light jacket, sweater, or wrap for after sunset — especially for those who tend to get chilly with the ocean air.

After the ceremony, guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with appetizers, followed by an amazing dinner, a champagne toast, and an evening of ocean views, great company, and dancing under the stars with our DJ spinning all the good stuff.

We can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
