The Point

"My daughter had her baby shower at The Point, and it was a wonderful time. The venue was perfect! It was roomy, clean, and had an abundance of natural light. The staff were amazing and worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. The Point is definitely the perfect venue for any gathering.....large or small."

"I’ve had a few recent events at the Point and they’ve all been lovely. Casey and team were particularly amazing on a recent celebration of life for a friend. They helped get it all set up, were patient and thoughtful, and made sure we had the perfect event for such a sad occasion. We loved the venue inside and out. The location is right on the water, the inside is sunny, warm and has great vibes. The space is flexible and has plenty of different available configurations and ways it can be set up. The tech was all great and helped make sure we could show our slideshow, music, and stream remarks to those who couldn’t attend. I would absolutely recommend the Point for any type of event. They’ll make it perfect. It is a great, flexible space with an amazing team."

"We are out-of -towners and hosted our destination wedding at The Point in August 2025! In our home city, we had a difficult time finding affordable venues that would allow for outside vendors for food and other necessities. The previous year we traveled to San Diego for the first time for our friend’s wedding. As we began assessing costs for our wedding, we realized there were many affordable venues in San Diego. As a venue, The Point at Mission Bay is perfect for a 100-person guestlist. We loved the sustainability aspects of the venue, the ease of being able to move pieces, already included décor, and adding our own décor. We loved meeting with some of the venue’s staff at the time, Sophia, throughout the year. We were then passed onto another staff member and then passed onto a third staff member the day-of the wedding. This staff member, Leigh, was such a gift and a huge help that day. With the package we paid for, we were only able to be at the venue for 8 hours total including setup, ceremony, reception, and tear down. They do allow for an hour walk through the night before, but any décor must be setup day-of. We paid for additional trash clean up at the end of the night and an additional hour. Leigh also provided us even more time at the end of the night. There was plenty to clean up, and even with the catering team of four plus the bride, groom, and a few friends, it took a bit more time to clean up at the end of the night. Leigh tried her best, but she is only one woman. Leigh actually thanked us for being so kind and understanding. It’s disappointing to think many wedding parties may have not been as understanding to the one-human-show staff. I know August is busy season for weddings, but on top of that, there was an event the morning of our wedding at the venue. We asked if Leigh had been there for the morning event as well. She said she had been there since 9a. I do appreciate the venue giving us as much extra time as they could as far as setting up, complimentary, but this venue should spend less time on meetings with the couples and more time and money on staffing the actual event. Staffing of the event should come with the initial presented package. Depending on the volume of the event and extra décor/ vendors, the owner should staff the event appropriately as a part of the base pay package. We would recommend only paying for the reception package if this venue is your top choice. We believe the ceremony spaces are San Diego city owned, so if you are looking to save money, file for the permit yourself and have your reception at The Point. At the end of the day, we got what we paid for, but we were expecting a little more support day-of. We did enjoy ourselves, and many of our guests came out describing the day as authentic, sincere, sophisticated, but humble. If that is the style you are going for, The Point is the right place for you!"
