View from the Club Room
Sheila C.

A+ experience! They were truly helpful and everything went off without a flaw. They helped make a hard thing into a truly amazing event. We held my father's Celebration fo Life at the Club Room. It was a beautiful venue and Jesus was beyond helpful in making sure everything was perfect for the event. The view was astounding and perfect for our situation. The whole glass wall on one side opens to the beach and bay. They close off the walkway in front of the building and make sure to chase people away, if they enter. I highly recommend this venue if you are having a smaller gathering. THey are beyond helpful and accommodating!

Great venue for events. Backdrop from sandiegoluxurypicnics.com

If you are looking for a fitness center/gym to use I do not recommend the Coronado Community Center. What dumbbell weights they do have are all rusting and smell awful. The fitness room is TINY and there is no where to lay a mat and workout unless you want to be directly in front of everyone on the treadmills.. Which they only have 3 of. No squat rack, no pull up bars, no barbells or weight racks, no kettlebells, no weight vests, no sand bags, and VERY limited bands, and mats. Oh and as a Coronado resident, you have to pay $6 to even use the facility! Unbelievable. Will not be going back & do NOT recommend. For how big the community center is, I expected way more. This is worse than a midwest motel gym!

Before the Reception, out on the boardwalk

We had our wedding here on 11/16/2018 & let me tell you if you have a small budget it is doable. We had 160 guests and rented the entire Nautilus room. We went with Phil's BBQ whom is very reasonable and delicious! You can visit their location by Sea World to try all their food! We had every guest raving about the location and the food. We were also able to stay within our budget (10k) with this DIY location. With a view like this, I thought it would be impossible to find a water front location that wouldn't break the bank. We hired Sweet and Salty bartending for the night and I'd recommend them as well, reasonable and professional. Although you can use any licensed vendors, It's a plus to use vendors who've worked at this location before. We brought in all our own alcohol from Costco & a huge plus is they provide the portable bar and ice at the community center. Even though they provide chairs, I opted to rent some since the ones provided didn't match our decor. I did have a day of coordinator to set up the ceremony site and also the reception area. This was a must in my budget so that family wouldn't be stuck setting up or cleaning up anything. Our DJ was "DJ Jon Beezy" and he's in SD, he's worked at the venue before and is familiar with what's needed for the outside ceremony as far as mics, extension cords, speakers, etc. I loved the fact that our wedding didn't have to be over by 10pm, we went until midnight which sometimes other venues don't allow. We stayed at the Glorietta Bay Inn in the Garden suite which I would recommend for the ladies to get ready, it photographs beautifully. Lastly, we rented a golf cart for the day/night, it was an 8 seater so we had a designated driver (family member) drive the guys to the venue then come pick up the ladies. This was a great idea so nobody had to drive and it's a short distance away. Then we returned the Golf Cart the morning after. Hope this helps & happy planning.

The views alone deserve 5 stars. The only reason I give this venue 4 stars is because of the added fees (security, kitchen use, different rental rate for serving alcohol, and a fee charged to the caterer that gets passed on to the client) and restrictions (I asked about having casino tables for entertainment purposes and was told that there are permits that we would need to apply for). It's very important to read the rental contract before booking. Otherwise, this is a great deal for the room size and location. The venue has a commercial kitchen that your caterer will appreciate. Event: Corporate holiday party Total budget: $11500 Total number of guests: 115 The rental includes the modern dance floor, tables and chairs. Linens are not included. There's a preferred caterer and bartender list. If you have a caterer that is not on the list, CCC will allow for it as long as the caterer submits an application for approval within a certain time frame of your event. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this venue for weddings. Our event was in the evening and I've seen the venue during daylight hours. This is a hidden gem.

I can't believe that no one has reviewed this place! Maybe it is because we are all too busy posting on the Talk Threads :-D!!!! Beautiful pool and fitness center that is WELL maintained due to the ample $$$$ from the residents of the City of Coronado. I went here to specifically swim laps in their 50 meter pool. Great location for a one hour hard work out in the pool. The Tank and I had an entire lane to myself. I got to float with my two stomachs doing the back stroke for one hour without being disturbed!!! Nice clientele, GREAT lifeguards who actually have personalities and nice areas for laying out to dry your suit! Swim for non-residents is 5.00 with a .50 locker fee. Cheaper than a movie and this takes you off of the computer for a while. The view from the pool is of the Coronado Bridge and "Davey Jone's Locker' :-D! I bet that Capt Sparrow would be proud! One special note, if you are a climber, they have a big indoor climbing wall!! There is also a GREAT workout room that faces the water. Minus one star for the surly and somewhat bored behaving front desk people... come on now guise minimum wage is 8.00 bucks an hour. You are getting paid to surf the Internet all day and take people's money. Give up a smile or two every once in a while.. geez.

Our wedding at the lawn next to the Coronado Community Center.

We had our wedding at the Coronado Community Center and had a great experience! Trisha Floor is in charge of the facilities rentals and she was really kind, professional and answered all our questions. Their team met all of our expectations. I did alot of research before booking this venue for our wedding and this place was affordable and you get a great value. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -Beautiful Coronado location and views of the bay! -We had a smaller wedding and we were able to rent half of the Nautilus room which accommodated our budget. -Great patio space! Our bar was in the patio and allowed guests to have an indoor/outdoor area. -You can have the ceremony on their lawn and have the cocktail hour in the patio next to the lawn which is convenient for guests. -They provide chairs and tables for the event. However, we decided to rent our own chairs because their chairs didn't match our color theme. -Flexibility: you get to choose your own Nautilus room layout and how to arrange everything. Their staff will set up the room to your liking. Cons: -Must use their approved catering list for food and beverage services. We used El Tapatio and Bella Beverage Services which were both great and recommended by friends who had used their services. Highly recommend! -There is a fee that must be paid to the venue on your food service. -No live music if you rent half of the Nautilus room but we were happy with our DJ. Unfortunately we could not have the mariachi's play. -Book in advance because dates get full quickly! We had our wedding on a Sunday. -Parking is first come, first serve so we encouraged guests to take an Uber. We got many compliments on the venue and would recommend this venue. It's a great value for the location, views and space.

The Coronado Fire Station established in 1892 and opened in May 2025 for special events from weddings to corporate events, military honors and private parties. The Coronado Fire Station is the perfect place to host your next special event it was so beautiful inside. J.P. Is the owner and chef, he made a delicious taco bar spread and a beautiful charcuterie board for the attendees. The Speakeasy is open on Fridays and Saturdays all month of December at 6pm.

My experience began when Ashley responded to my inquiry. A seasoned professional in the catering / hosting industry, Ashley was exactly what I needed as I navigated the unfamiliar territory of hosting 80 people. She was an expert in the menu and flexible on all my timelines. Companies risk unforeseen circumstances when hosting military functions. Such a circumstance happened in my case. Because of *reasons*, my ceremony was moved unexpectedly two months later than the original date. Ashley easily modified my contract reflecting the change and immediately lifted that stress. I also appreciated the understanding Ashley and the owner, JP, had when the government shutdown threatened my paycheck. The unexpected change of schedule and potential loss of income was met with grace, professionalism, flexibility, and the promise that "we're committed to making this a great event for you and your family." The food was amazing! There were many highlights, but the Grazing Table came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I can't imagine doing an event without it now; it was the first thing people laid eyes on when they entered the venue and provided a delicious initial gameplan for my guests as they arrived. Also, the craft cocktails were delicious and the bartenders were friendly and talented. The venue itself is inviting, modern, and a great size for a reception with 80-90 guests (which included kids). I think it would have easily held at least 100 as the front portion of the venue went largely unused with the exception of the Grazing Table. A few of us were able to retreat to the Speakeasy for quieter conversations, and can't stop thinking it would be the perfect venue for a small, private event. Looking back on the evening, I received multiple comments about how I "went all out" with the venue, food, and drinks. Everyone had a great time, and ultimately that is what a host looks for when looking for a way to celebrate a milestone. Thanks Ashley, JP, and wonderful staff!

You pay for the location and that is about it. The main lobby was super cute. We were very excited to stay here. But it took a turn when we were shown our room. The smell was so bad you could smell it a few feet outside of our door. We would wake up in the middle of the night because the smell woke us up. It smelled like mildew & mold so bad, on top of cigarettes and hospice. I went to call to ask for a new room and our phone didn't work. I moved the side bedroom table to see if it was plugged in and it was so dirty with bugs and lint balls. I didn't touch the phone again. I called from my cell phone to see about changing our room. She told me I could come the next day and take a look at other rooms that were available, but we were only there for one more night and we had plans with friends that day. The carpet is disgusting. The couch is so dirty. There were brown stains on the sheets of our bed. Every time the cleaning crew would come in, they would open every single window to the fullest to mask the smell. There's not a restaurant here so you have to go get your food and bring it in. There were dead bugs in the utensil drawers. So we used plastic utensils, and paper plates our whole trip. Our room looked nothing like the lobby. A motel 8 would've been better. Even the pool is sad. We were going to cancel our stay and book somewhere else, but we booked through Expedia and it's a nightmare trying to get a refund through them. Otherwise, we would've left after the first day. When leaving a manager pulled me aside and said he was going to comp one day resort fee for us because of the smell. He didn't have to do that, but it was nice of him. We will never be back unless they do a serious update. So sad because the location is killer!

Also, I recently attended the writers on the 13, where on the 13th of November the gallery invited 13 local authors to read from their latest book(s) published. My Mom was one of the featured authors and it was an amazing experience to see authors get the floor and promote books and meet fellow authors and community members who cherish art in every form.

I called Helen about a year before the big day and immediately knew I would be taken care of. We wanted a family- only small beach wedding and it honestly turned out perfect. I liked that she offered a lot of customizable options. She communicated every step of the way and as a bride, I felt confident heading into the wedding day. Our package came with beach setup, an officiant, a musician, a photographer, and Helen's guidance. All of her vendors were perfect. We got our photos in just days and the photographer got a lot of great photos (attaching some of my favorites). The price for the wedding package was also very reasonable. If you're looking to get married on the beach- I definitely recommend Coronado Beach Weddings!

Planning a wedding should be a joyful and exciting experience -- unfortunately, working with this…read morecoordinator brought unnecessary stress, confusion, and disappointment to what should have been one of the happiest days of our lives. From the start, communication was unclear and frustrating. We struggled to get a concise explanation of what services were included and what we were actually paying for. It wasn't until we explicitly referenced California's SB 478 transparency laws that we finally received a proper breakdown of costs -- which then led to a pricing adjustment. But even after that, just two weeks before the wedding, we were shocked to receive a final payment notice that was more than double our last agreed-upon price. When we questioned it, the coordinator backtracked on previous conversations and insisted on her standard pricing, completely disregarding the confusion we had already worked to clarify. For someone claiming 34 years of experience, I expected significantly better communication, transparency, and flexibility. Customizing a wedding package should not be this difficult or disorganized. The wedding day itself only compounded our frustrations. One of our most anticipated moments -- the "first look" as I walked down the aisle with my dad -- was completely mishandled. Due to poor schedule management, my husband saw me before the ceremony even began. From there, things didn't improve. Directions were unclear, organization was lacking, and important details were overlooked -- like the designated place for bridesmaids' belongings, which was only provided after the ceremony, despite us asking about it beforehand. Our contract also stated that she would have an assistant to help on the day of the wedding -- she did not. This absence absolutely impacted the flow and coordination of events throughout the day. To give credit where it's due, the flowers were beautiful -- especially my bridal bouquet, which turned out exactly as I had hoped. It was one of the few things that went right and added a special touch to the day. The only other silver lining was the photographer she worked with. He was kind, professional, and captured some beautiful photos. Unfortunately, several of our special moments include Helen in the background -- an unfortunate reminder of the overall disappointment. If you plan to use her as your wedding coordinator, I highly suggest reading through your contract with a fine-tooth comb and making sure you have an exact outline of pricing and services. Don't assume anything will be taken care of unless it's clearly written and confirmed -- multiple times.

Every corner has history: old Navy buildings, statues, memorials, even ships, sailors, and men and women in uniform. Afterall, it is a military town. What to do? Plenty!! For free you can just walk the waterfront, hang at NTC Park, people-watch, bring your furry friends, and kids can play on the open lawns. There's water sports like paddleboarding, kayaking and weekend activities. I've been to many picnics, birthday gatherings, all kinds of celebrations, and even just to soak up the sun while strolling. What to eat? As a vegan, the Liberty Public Market has something for everyone. I've had vegan bowls, veggie dishes, and sweet treats. Fig Tree Cafe has plant-based options and Nekter Juice bar is perfect for a quick juice or smoothie. Mama Made Thai, Slurp, Berry Fresh, and Mia Sorella Chimney Cakes has vegan options as well! WOOT! And YES, Trader Joe's is right there for snack emergencies! When to go? Mornings are more calm and afternoons are lively. Evenings are beautiful and can be a spot for a romantic date night. Parking is usually fine unless it's a summer weekend because it has become very touristy. The vibes? San Diego weather never misses! Nine times out of ten you have blue skies, ocean breeze, and sunshine. This spot feels good all year-round! Overall, Liberty Station is a go-to spot for food, views, history, and relaxing energy. As a local, it's a regular spot. For tourists, it's definitely worth a visit.
