Reception and Ceremony Sites > Hotel del Coronado

The Del has been showing its romantic promise since 1887, when the resort celebrated its first wedding while still under construction. Since that time, The Del has enjoyed more than 120 years of legendary romance. King Edward VIII of England gave up his throne to marry the former Coronado housewife Wallis Simpson (it is rumored they may have met at The Del). And, the love story Bid Time Return took place at The Del, which brought together Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour in the movie version Somewhere in Time.

Add to this romantic legacy the hotel’s sun-drenched beaches, moonlit ocean views, spectacular setting, impeccable service and award-winning cuisine and it’s easy to see why the Travel Channel named The Del the #1 best place to get married in the U.S. The resort offers a variety of wonderful ceremony and reception settings including the elegant Ballroom with views of the Pacific, the historic Crown Room with chandeliers designed by Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum, the picturesque Garden Patio and the seaside Windsor Lawn.

Whether the celebration is traditional or contemporary, festive or formal, intimate or grand-scale, the talented catering staff can create a one-of-a-kind occasion. The Spa and Yamaguchi Salon offer fabulous treatments and packages for brides, bridal parties, grooms and more. Plus, The Del features several unique dining options, perfect for rehearsal dinners or post-wedding day breakfasts.

After the celebration, The Del is the ideal setting for a honeymoon. The resort offers a bouquet of romantic amenities and services. The spectacular cottages and villas at Beach Village offer the ultimate exclusive enclave with every imaginable indulgence.

The Hotel del Coronado has been Southern California’s premier wedding and honeymoon destination for over a century. Generations of couples enjoy knowing that they have become a permanent part of The Del’s romantic history.
