Awesome San Diego Event & Wedding Venues

After more than a decade performing weddings, holiday parties, corporate gatherings, and special events throughout San Diego, we've played in a lot of beautiful places.

We've performed overlooking the ocean in La Jolla, inside museums in Balboa Park, at resorts in Rancho Santa Fe, on the waterfront downtown, at wineries and gardens throughout North County, and at just about every kind of wedding venue in between.
So we decided to put all of that experience in one place.

This is our growing guide to San Diego wedding and event venues where Left Coast Quintet has actually performed. These aren't venues pulled from somebody else's "Top 20 San Diego Wedding Venues" list. We've been there, loaded in, figured out where five musicians fit, dealt with the sun and the wind, played the ceremony, entertained guests during cocktail hour, and worked alongside the venue staff and other vendors.

On the individual venue pages below, we'll share some of our favorite photos and performances along with things we've learned from actually playing there.

Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, gala, anniversary, or another special celebration, we hope it helps.

​Explore San Diego Wedding & Event Venues

We've organized the venues by area so you can explore locations throughout San Diego County and beyond.


Choosing a San Diego Wedding Venue for Live Music

One of the things we love about San Diego is just how different its venues can be.

You can have a ceremony overlooking the Pacific, get married in the middle of Balboa Park, celebrate aboard the waterfront, escape to a North County garden or resort, or head inland for vineyards, mountains, and some incredible sunsets.

From a musician's perspective, every venue is different too.
Some have fantastic natural acoustics. Some outdoor spaces require a little more planning. At certain venues we've learned exactly where musicians work best for the ceremony, while others have great options for moving the music from the ceremony to cocktail hour.
​
Because we've performed at so many of these locations, we're always happy to help our couples think through those details.

We've Probably Played Somewhere Near You

This list keeps growing. Since 2014, Left Coast Quintet has performed at venues throughout San Diego County and Southern California, from intimate backyard ceremonies and houswarming events, to some of the region's best-known hotels, resorts, museums, gardens, country clubs, wineries, and waterfront venues.

And because we've actually performed at these locations, we can offer more than just music.

If you're wondering where musicians should sit for your ceremony, whether we can move to cocktail hour afterward, how live instruments will carry in an outdoor space, or what has worked well at a particular venue in the past, just ask. There's a good chance we've been there before.

Live Wedding Music for Your San Diego Venue

Of course, finding the venue is only part of planning the day. Left Coast Quintet brings the sound of flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon to weddings throughout San Diego and Southern California. It's a completely different sound from the traditional string quartet, with a huge range of music that can move from classical and romantic favorites to Disney, Broadway, jazz, movie soundtracks, pop, and plenty of unexpected choices.

We can provide music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, or a combination of events, and we'll help you choose music that feels like you rather than handing you a list of the same ten wedding songs everyone else uses.

Already have your venue?

Tell us where you're getting married and what you're imagining for your day. We'd love to hear about it.
​Left Coast Quintet partners with event planners, artistic directors, curators, and community organizers to bring professional chamber music to a wide variety of occasions, from weddings and private celebrations to curated concerts and cultural events. Let us know your vision, and we’ll help shape a musical experience that resonates with your audience. We are a 501c3 Non-profit music arts ensemble.
