Many people go all out when it comes to their wedding, but if the setting is beautiful enough, sometimes you don’t need to do much at all. San Diego is a popular destination for proposing — and even eloping — and it isn’t hard to understand why. Whether you’re looking for a picturesque place to pop the question or a serene setting for a subdued ceremony, it doesn’t get much better than this. In fact, Pacific Terrace hotel and beautiful Pacific Beach have been the site of some amazing proposals and elopements that you can see for yourself.

The beach itself also makes for the perfect backdrop to your proposal — especially if you’re planning on having someone film or photograph the event.

Reviews

Here’s what one of our guests had to say about the experience:

“Toasting on our beautiful balcony to our engagement that just took place in our hotel room, where the hotel set up rose petals, candles, chocolate covered strawberries, and champagne. The best trip to Pacific Terrace Hotel ever ❤.

The hotel did a great job setting up for our engagement. It was truly special and the balcony sunset champagne toast was a perfect way to spend part of the evening !!”
