FAQ

Most-asked.

Hotel del vs. Loews — which works better for photo + film?+
Hotel del is more iconic — the red turrets and white Victorian architecture make every wide shot a postcard. Loews has bayside views + private marina access for portraits. Couples who want classic glam pick Del; couples who want modern + flexible pick Loews.
Can we get permits for a beach ceremony in Coronado?+
Yes. Coronado City handles permits — Sunset Park + Coronado Beach are both permittable. We help with the paperwork (it's simpler than SF/LA, usually 30-day turnaround).
How does Navy aircraft affect weddings?+
Coronado is next to Naval Base Coronado — you'll hear F/A-18s during ceremonies sometimes. We frame around it, and most couples actually love the SoCal-military character it adds. We never cancel/reschedule for flight ops.
Travel from Bay Area?+
Yes — we cover all SD County. Travel from SF Bay included in Coronado-tier pricing. Friday arrival, Sunday departure standard.
How early should we book?+
Hotel del Saturdays April–October — 18 months out (busiest premium SD venue). Loews + private estates 9 to 12 months. Coronado Beach civil ceremonies often available 60 to 90 days.
