Personal Touch Dining Team Announces Expansion to Harbor Island

Over the past 30 years, wedding and event specialists Personal Touch Dining have established a stellar reputation throughout San Diego, and were recently named a 2018 San Diego Business Journal Fastest Growing Private Company. Now, the team has expanded their family of managed venues to include Harbor View Loft, a picturesque waterfront location in Harbor Island, San Diego. This magnificent property offers a stunning 300-degree view of San Diego’s Harbor, Coronado Bridge, Marina, and City Lights, and features a rooftop ceremony area, wraparound balcony, and private patio.

“The space was closed for 15 years before we recognized its potential and restored to its former glory and beyond,” remarked Tracy Zemke, Director of Sales and Marketing of Personal Touch Dining. “We are beyond excited to bring weddings, corporate functions, and private events to life at Harbor View Loft. The views are exceptional, even by San Diego standards.”

The property has a storied history on the island as its first marina, which opened its doors in 1970, and operated under names such as Barnacle Bill’s. As revitalized by the Personal Touch Dining team, Harbor View Loft now features a very modern aesthetic, with clean lines, cool gray tones and panoramic windows, as well as a full kitchen and bar. Its enviable location and proximity to San Diego International Airport make it an ideal event venue for locals, as well as for those seeking a unique destination property for a wedding or celebration.

Personal Touch Dining has over 30 years of experience creating weddings and events in the San Diego area. In addition to Harbor View Loft, they also manage the stately Mt. Woodson Castle in Ramona, and rustic Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad.

Kelli & Ruben at San Diego Botanical Gardens

We just can not get over this wedding that we had for K + R at the San Diego Botanical Gardens. Let’s just say this day had gorgeous written ALL over it! Every little detail captured our attention. The blooms by AE floral were divinely displayed from the ceremony to the reception, and do not let us forget those luscious bouquets – absolutely jaw dropping! The table settings were perfectly put together with white and Rattan Chargers. Favors of oil and rosemary made a fine compliment for their guests, and just the venue itself called for the perfect setting for everything this couple imagined on their big day.

Get ready for a whole lot of prettiness from these shots by the talented Sposto Photography!

Rachael & Kalani at The Ultimate Skybox

When you want best of both worlds for a wedding in San Diego, it would look like R + K’s day. From a ceremony at an ocean breeze of a San Diego beach, to a reception with endless views of the city’s breathtaking skyscrapers and the Padre’s baseball field, ABM Photography captures every factor perfectly.

With family and friends gathered to witness the couple’s vows on a sunny San Diego day under an elegant white draped arch, their reception was kept simple with floating floral candle centerpieces, and a hint of deep colors to surround the bouquets and the venue.

Thank you to everyone who played apart to make their day special!
