Villa Francesca Events

Villa Francesca Events offers an intimate setting for weddings and small celebrations in La Jolla, San Diego. The venue occupies a historic Spanish-style home built in 1928, with landscaped gardens and distinctive details such as custom mosaics, tiled steps and a koi pond. Its coastal location is close to the beach, giving couples the option of combining their celebration with photographs nearby.

The property has several spaces that can be used separately or together. The front lawn is suited to ceremonies, drinks and photographs, while the garden courtyard provides a leafy backdrop with a pergola-covered dining area. The lounge offers an indoor space for guests or wedding preparations, and a renovated gourmet kitchen is available as an add-on. The venue is designed for smaller gatherings, with a stated maximum of 40 people including vendors.

Wedding packages provide private access for at least 12 hours, with different combinations of the lawn, courtyard, lounge and kitchen. Couples can choose a simpler ceremony-focused booking or a fuller day that brings the celebration together in one place. The most comprehensive option also includes a night in the on-site casita and access to the courtyard the following morning. A nearby four-bedroom cottage is another accommodation option.

Organisers may bring their own licensed vendors, or request optional wedding management, event design and floral design through the venue's coordinator. In-person and virtual tours are available, and packages can be combined to suit the plans for the day. The venue's intimate scale, garden spaces and overnight options make it particularly suited to couples planning a personal wedding or destination celebration with a close group of guests.
