Featured Venue: Darlington House

Timeless, Charming, and Philanthropic, There’s No Place Like Darlington House!

 

Rich History

What better venue to encompass the all-around excellence that is San Diego other than Darlington House? This unique historic home and romantic event venue is located two blocks from the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla. The home began as two separate houses pieced together by Sibyl Darlington and were used as her seasonal home to escape the East Coast winters. With items and inspiration from all over the world, it is a fusion of culture, and its exquisite artistry is timeless. The many patios offer countless combinations of spaces for classic dinner parties or weddings. As a catering company, it is definitely one of our favorite San Diego venues because it allows clients the versatility to make the spaces their own while still maintaining its dignified charm.

Designated a historic San Diego Site in 1995, it acts as a location for the Social Service League of La Jolla, a non-profit public benefit corporation. According to the Darlington House Website, this corporation “provides housing and meal support to seniors who have lived and worked for the greater San Diego area” at the neighboring “League House” apartment complex. It is a uniquely beautiful venue and a selfless part of caretaking for San Diego’s valued aging population that you can help contribute to while enjoying your dream event.

Picturesque From Every Angle

The entire venue is yours when you book! Couples could spend hours exploring every corner for that priceless photo. Check out Darling House’s Video Tour on their site for a sneak peek tour of the historic home.

The Main House

Comfortably furnished and elegantly decorated, the Living Room, Dining Room, and several Sitting Rooms are available for all guests to lounge in and explore on your big day.

Groom’s Room

Reserved space for the Bridal Party with a private restroom, dressing room, and comfortable lounge area. This room offers welcoming furniture and plenty of space for getting ready in style.

Bridal Suite

An East-facing room also with its own private restroom, dressing room, and lounge area. This room comes with an attached Juliet balcony that overlooks the courtyards where the event setup will occur.

Library

Catering companies use this space to construct an event bar for guests. The arched ceiling and second-floor bookshelves offer uniquely beautiful photo opportunities. With architectural nods to Sybil’s many trips to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, the Library is a photographer’s playground!

Egyptian Patio

Named after the dazzling reflecting pool at its center, the colorful antique Egyptian tile lining the pool can become the threshold for your vows. The most common location for wedding ceremonies, chairs can face either the main house arches or the elevated iron gate arch depending on your guest count.

 

 

Andalusian Patio

After the ceremony, guests are most commonly ushered into the enclosed Andalusian Patio between the Library bar area. There, they can enjoy complimentary craft cocktails and check out the seating chart while your catering company works to put the final touches on the main floor in the Rose Garden.

Rose Garden

Lush and green year-round, this space is a blank canvas for an imaginative couple hoping to bring their wedding dreams to life!

The Darlington House is one of our favorite venues because of its unique architectural beauty!

The Egyptian Patio facing the Rose Garden gate is a perfect ceremony location.

We can’t get enough of this fresh “I Do” Glow!

 

Fun, mix-matched bridesmaids dresses are a must-have for a Boho-Chic motif!

Allowing your ladies to follow a color scheme for their dress choice enables each to feel beautiful and comfortable their way.

These adorable jean jackets are the perfect boho bridesmaid accessory!

 

A sharp suit in light gray adds just the right balance of chic for this bohemian motif.

Best way to class-up a lighthearted motif full of mismatched flare? Mix in a few handsome gents in their sleekest fashionable attire!

We love the breezy vibe of Chris and his groomsmen’s gray suits with the pink accent tie.

 

Dark wood farm tables and antiqued custom flatware create that romantic boho vibe for your dining tables.

 The decor was minimalistic, yet created a whimsical atmosphere!

These beautifully detailed plates from Not My Dish Event Rentals accentuated the Boho feel of each place setting.

 

Our Taco Bar Buffet is always a crowd favorite!

You can’t go wrong with an authentic upscale Mexican buffet, but include a Spicy Margarita from our bar, and you’ll be the talk of the town!

We love having a S’mores Station for dessert at our weddings!

 

Custom vintage details add depth to a tablescape.

All these delicate florals were collected and assembled by the Bride!

 

What better seats for the Bride and Groom than elegant Peacock Chairs?

They are dignified, exotic, and sure to make you feel like wedding royalty!

For a boho-chic wedding, you must have peacock chairs from Adore Folklore Rentals!

 

Mixed vintage and crafty decor look great on a towering wedding cake!

And delicate desserts deserve these dainty tea plates.

VG Bakery made this gorgeous custom scraped cake!

 

Real pressed flowers on shortbread cookies?!

Yes Please! What a sweet treat!

These pressed flower shortbread cookies from Carriage House Cookies on Etsy were as unique as they were delicious!

Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Seven | San Diego Catering

Welcome to Part Seven of our WTWL Series!

In Part Sixwe explored the versatility of our Rustic Motif. Now, we’ll take dial it up a notch for this next theme that revels in a blended concoction of vintage elegance, exotic charm, and a spray of natural desert beauty.

 

 

Are you a carefree, festival going, gypsy soul? Then we have the Wedding Theme for you!

Bohemian-Chic

For our Clients who want that natural beauty, messy-but-cohesive look.

You want to show off your complex personality, and we see you!

The Darlington House

Details

For this theme, we picture blending elegance with the wild beauty of an outdoor venue.

You’re all about that sunshine, so why stay cooped up inside when true artistry is all around?

Jordan Elizabeth Photo. Leo Carrillo Ranch

Miss-matched decorative pillows and vintage oriental rugs are the go-to decor items, and their uses are endlessly versatile!

Kami Olavarria Photography. Leo Carrillo Ranch. Bluebell Florals.

This theme is a whole new side to the classic Romantic “idea,” skipping the wild greenery of enchanted forests and sliding into the trendy beige of a desert oasis.

Tayler Ashley Photography. Leo Carrillo Ranch. Evermore Floral Co.

Macrame creations can decorate any surface!

Jordan Elizabeth Photo. Leo Carrillo Ranch

Dreamcatchers, feathers, and whispy stalks of wheat incorporate that dreamy romance into your motif.

Brogen Jessup Photography. Bluebell Florals.

 

Tablescape

We love the contrasting textures these wicker chargers create against the dark polished wood of a Farm Table.

Jordan Elizabeth Photo. Chic Pink Petals Designs and Events.

Add some gorgeous mismatched vintage glassware that will convince your guests that you’re a Thrift Store Guru!

Linen napkins in fun new textures, like velvet or fringed linen, are always encouraged and look wistfully placed in a “Knotted” fold.

 

Peacock Chairs to formally “halo” the Bride and Groom are essential.

We see them in all fades, sizes, and shapes to fit your needs!

Ceremony Space

This macrame curtain is a beautiful way to frame the Bride and Groom during their vows, and helps set the tone for the rest of the event!

The Darlington House

If you’re lucky enough to find a venue with the perfect architecture, adding a few more plants to incorporate your wedding colors makes decorating a breeze!

Floral Inspiration

You can never have enough Cacti, Succulents, Pampus Grass, or Palm Leaves.

Jordan Elizabeth Photo. Chic Pink Petals Designs and Events. Leo Carrillo Ranch.

Table florals can range in size depending on the nature of your tablescape.

Lots of details in the flatware only need simple floral centerpieces, like these adorable wildflowers in dainty glass bottle vases.

For bouquets, we love soft blush tones accentuated by several fun textures or even dried flowers!

Bluebell Florals. Brogen Jessup Photography.

Boutonnieres with similar elements create a delicious contrast of feminine and masculine against a sharp suit!

Bluebell Florals. Brogen Jessup Photography.

Flower Crowns and Floral Hair Combs delight our hippy hearts!

Mixed with loose, romantic curls or a Fishtale Braid, and you’ll have the perfect romantic Boho Bride aesthetic.

Bluebell Florals. Brogen Jessup Photography.

Dining Options

This motif flows effortlessly with a Buffet or Moving Style Dinner!

A Seated Dinner seems a little too stuffy for young souls who crave open spaces to wander. So, go for a dining style that promotes mingling and dancing!

 

Thanks for joining us on this final part of our WTWL journey!!

We’ve loved asking our experts and brainstorming the best Theme Details for you.

Hopefully, we’ve been able to help our readers better narrow their focus for their themes and answer any questions along the way!

Vintage Glamour

Another stunning wedding reception at the Darlington House!

 

Working in collaboration with Back Patio Event Design was a dream, and we loved celebrating Charnel and Munyoki’s special day!

 

This venue is so timeless in its classic beauty; the vintage elegance is unparalleled.

 

Our staff always take such care with setting the dining tables, especially when there are so many gorgeous details involved!

 

During cocktail hour, we served guests delicious appetizers and craft cocktails, like our Apple Ginger Sparkler!

Our fresh Bruschetta on crunchy Baguette Slices, drizzled in a tangy Basalmic Reduction, and topped with fragrant basil is a crowd favorite.

 

 

Their family came from all over the world to celebrate with the happy couple, so having a globe sign-in book was such a fun idea!

 

Pacific Entertainment, the DJ that evening, brought the newlyweds to the dance floor for their First Dance as husband and wife.

 

 

The sweetheart table, a true royal dais, looked like a work of art!

 

 

For dinner, guests went through our hearty buffet, eating their fill of our Herb Crusted Mahi Mahi, Rustic Chicken, and Rice Pilaf.

 

 

Our skilled staff expertly poured champagne for the toasts.

 

The dazzling three-tiered wedding cake, baked by Cakes to Celebrate, looked like one of the gorgeous decorations with all of its gold embellishments!

 

The happy couple also had a Candy Bar, filled to the brim with all white candies, where guests could pick their favorites and make goodie bags to take home!

 

We love a loud crowd for a fun Grand Exit!

Glow sticks and bubbles always make these pictures pop!

 

 

We were so honored to help these two celebrate their love, and we wish them all the best in their future together!

Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Five | San Diego Catering

Welcome to Part Five of our Wedding Themes We Love (WTWL) Series!

 

Are you looking for a more laid back, even “Lazy Loving,” kind of vibe for your wedding?

Our experts found a couple of great theme examples paired with the perfect dining experience for each!

 

West Coast/ Beachy

Beach weddings are always a favorite for couples and guests!

The soft breezes, salty air, and vacation escapes are reminiscent of Part Four of this series if you want to mix a little tropical travel into your wedding motif.

Photographer: Alyssa Boynton Photography

 

Have fun with your bridal party, and incorporate some cute beach details into their ensemble.

We love these mermaid earrings, and groomsmen could sport some themed socks or ties on the big day!

Photographer: Logan Cole Photography

 

This smart couple used an old oar from a thrift shop for their sign-in book, and it’ll look so chic as decor in their future home!

The best part of this theme is that anything that washes up could be perfect decor with a little TLC.

 

Spice up your linen options with a fun pattern.

These broad stripes are fun and just nautical enough to give the tablescape the right feel.

 

The escort shells are eco-friendly, long-lasting, and so darn cute!

Just find some on the beach and make a night of it with your friends and their most delicate handwriting.

 

Pull centerpiece inspiration from the beach!

We love the look of this “Coral Garden” made from a few succulents and a sea star.

 

Have some fun in the sun!

Beach weddings are the perfect excuse to let loose. Ask your photographer to have fun with your photo opportunities, and we’re sure they won’t disappoint!

 

 

Photographer: True Photography. Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum

 

Speaking of the Sun…

Custom shades are the perfect wedding favor for your guests!

Photographer: True Photography

 

Beach and Beer go together, like Love and Marriage.

Keep those brews chilled on a warm beach day with a custom beer koozie favor!

Photographer: True Photography. Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum

 

This theme is as beautiful as it is low-key, views like this are the best backdrops in the world!

Photographer: Alyssa Boynton Photography. Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum

 

Deep blue goblets and watercolor table numbers are an elegant way to keep the ocean idea subtly running through your tablescape.

Photographer: Alyssa Boynton Photography

 

Repurpose that junk surfboard for your seating chart!

All this idea took was a little black chalkboard paint and a steady hand.

Venue: Darlington House of La Jolla

 

This theme is super flexible for dining styles, and our experts love the idea of a Buffet style, but all three of our suggested methods work!

If you’re looking for a set up on the classy scale, a seated dinner would add a little formality, especially while your guests are going to be admiring the hard work you put into your tabletop decor.

The Moving style dinner is another excellent choice if you know your guests are likely to want to kick off their heels and eat while they dig their toes in the sand.

 

 

Garden Party

This type of wedding is just as relaxed as a beach wedding, but there’s no need to worry about sand in your shoes.

Garden Parties, like Beach Weddings, are lovely in their versatility. It’s easy to make your event more casual or formal, depending on your tastes by including a few small details.

Venue: La Jolla Women’s Club

 

Garden parties work perfectly for couples who want a romantic feel without overdoing it with excessive, expensive florals.

 

Charming tents fit right in with this theme and are fantastic for a little added shade for your guests during those peak hours in the sun.

Venue: Martin Johnson House

 

If you’ve got craft skills or are interested in DIY decor, this type of wedding would be perfect.

 

This theme is casual, and we’ve seen couples stick with traditional dining styles, such as a Buffet dinner, and love it.

A new and fun idea we would love to see during cocktail hour is a combination of a Buffet and a Picnic!

Encourage your guests to grab a basket and travel along an appetizer station, filling their baskets with tasty snacks as they go. At the end, offer guests small blankets to promote lawn lounging in groups!

 

 

Day/Brunch Wedding

Fun, comfortable, and finished before sunset, this type of wedding is a delightful treat we wish was more common!

Perfect for Sunday Events or couples who aren’t looking for a lot of fuss, just quality family time.

Photographer: Sara France Photography. Venue: Darlington House of La Jolla

 

Entertain your guests with some fun lawn games!

Incorporate vintage class with Croquet for that Victorian Era feel, or stick with the favorites like Corn Hole and Bocce Ball to please the crowd.

Photographer: Sean Walker Photography. Venue: Mt. Woodson Castle

 

Morning weddings are a great excuse to have creative cocktail bars too!

We’ve seen Mimosa Stations with fancy juice varieties and fruit toppings, but this Blood “Marry Me” Bar looks like a Sunday morning dream!

Photographer: Sean Walker Photography

Morning hours also mean perfect weather!

Here in San Diego, summer mornings are known to rival the evenings.

Photographer: Sara France Photography. Venue: Darlington House of La Jolla

Try a lighthearted floral plate to add to the Brunch vibe for your tablescape!

Photographer: Sara France Photography

Sunny mornings should come with all the right accessories, and we love the idea of parasols as wedding favors!

Photographer: Sara France Photography

Much like a Garden Party dining style, Buffets are perfect but make it a breakfast buffet, and we’re sure your guests will be thrilled!

A Moving style or having multiple Breakfast Stations would be a step up and provide a more extensive selection for guests who are picky eaters first thing in the morning.

Coming Soon!

 

Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Four | San Diego Catering

Welcome to Part Four of our WTWL (Wedding Themes We Love) Series!

 

In this section, we’ll stray away from generalized “Moods,” such as we’ve shown represented in a Romantic or Modern theme.

Instead, we’re shining a light on Specified Subject Themed Weddings.

Some couples have a distinct shared event, pin-pointed hobby/interest, or even holiday that they feel defines a significant part of their relationship, and that subject steers couples towards the theme of their special day!

Travel

Here’s a theme that has become super attractive to young adventurous couples recently!

We’ve seen so many creative ways to incorporate travel into the smallest details for a wedding.

Photographer: Sara France Photography. Venue: Darlington House of La Jolla.

Above, a talented couple was able to recreate the Adventure Book from Disney’s “UP!” used as their suggestion/sign-in book where they asked their guests for new travel destination inspiration.

Guests can even pick up personalized ticket/escort cards to find their seats, seen below!

Photographer: Fleeting Fox Photography

 

This witty Flight Attendant had her garters custom made from pieces at her job!

Photographer: Fleeting Fox Photography

 

Have guests sign an atlas to use in your future travels!

Photographer: Fleeting Fox Photography. Venue: Mt. Woodson Castle.

Use a globe as a sign-in book or destination suggestion/card box.

Have your guests fill out postcards to themselves for you to send when you’re on your adventures!

Photographer: Fleeting Fox Photography

Vintage suitcases make perfect displays for favors or photo booth props.

Photographer: Robin Harris Images

 

 

Tropical

Can’t wait till the honeymoon?

Excitement over palm leaves, tropical flowers, and island escapes have been blowing up over the last few seasons!
Honestly, we can’t blame these couples for falling in love with the neon, retro, exotic, frond-filled paradise they’ve created.

Photographer: Dear Lovers Photography. Florist: Splendid Sentiments. Venue: Harbor View Loft.

Like being dropped into a jungle, minus the heat and humidity, a wedding in a garden venue such as the San Diego Botanical Gardens, would be a perfect affordable tropical escape.

Venue: San Diego Botanical Gardens

 

This happy couple brought the exotic beaches of Cuba to their big day through the use of palm fronds.

Photographer: Logan Cole Photography. Florist: Joy of Bloom Florals. Venue: Darlington House of La Jolla

 

Correctly placed printed palms can establish the proper mood as well!

Photographer: Logan Cole Photography. Florist: Joy of Bloom Florals. Rentals: Adore Folklore.

 

Fiction

If you and your love are fans of any fictional world, we’re talking about anything from Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Game of Thrones here is some inspiration!

Have your wedding in an actual castle!

 

Your favorite books can be centerpieces or table numbers as a creative way to get your guests to their correct tables.

Photographer: True Photography Venue: Mt. Woodson Castle

 

The Cake Topper is often a personalized reflection of the Bride and Groom, why not make it a fun version of yourself?

Photographer: True Photography

 

After your event, using the centerpieces as your guests’ wedding favors is a sure way to immerse them in your favorite fantasy world.

 

Holidays

Popular holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. have been used as inspiration for a couple’s wedding theme as well.

These dates can be attached to important cultural events or meaningful family moments that are influential enough to be an underlying spirit throughout the wedding.

Are you looking for a little extra luck on your big day? In the picture above, the couple wanted to celebrate their strong connection to their Irish roots, and threw their wedding on St. Patrick’s Day!

 

A white winter wedding can be like a second Christmas with the chilly weather and gathering of family. Subtle decor, like the pinecones below, can be a discrete nod to the holiday season without covering everything in tinsel.

Photographer: ABM Photography

 

Hobbies

Whether it be a specific sport, activity, or shared interest, if you and your loved one share a passion, why not bring it into your wedding planning?

Photographer: True Photography

 

For example, this couple wanted to bring their love for Baseball into their celebrations for loving each other!

Photographer: True Photography

 

This caffeine craving couple custom printed their favorite drinks onto their toasting glasses!

Photographer: Dapper Images

 

All in all, a wedding day is all about celebrating love!

If a couple loves a particular subject almost as much as they love each other, use it as a launching point for a wedding theme!

Chances are, it’ll be no surprise to any friends or family who know the happy couple, and everyone loves a customized wedding.

 

Feel free to Reach Out to our talented coordination team for answers to any planning questions!

Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Two | San Diego Catering

Welcome back for

Part Two of our “Wedding Themes We Love” Series!

 

Last time, in Part One of our series, we focused on Formal/Traditional and Modern themes, and while their elegance will never falter, we’re kicking our heels off for this post!

 

Vintage

 

Softer than a modern look, a Vintage theme can express old-world elegance minus all the polish of the two previous ideas.

With the clever use of repurposed antiques, Accessory Tables can add to the overall feel of a rare collection brought back for your special occasion.

 

 

Bringing in classic cars, or vintage dresses can add that flair for the refined charm you’re seeking.

 

A new trend that fits perfectly with this theme is the bold lounge areas with well-loved furniture we keep seeing!

 

 

Let your guests lounge in luxury, taking iconic social media pictures on these gorgeous styled sets!

 

 

Don’t forget the vintage bus!

 

 

The dining style to best fit this theme is a couple’s choice, meaning anything could fit beautifully because of the flexibility of the motif.

 

Try a buffet-style service and include a gorgeous antique visual focal point to bring cohesion to the room.

 

Art Deco!

 

 

Great Gatsby-esque parties are a fantastic inspiration for the vintage, yet glitzy, couple who want to really wow their guests.

 

 

This lavish, golden glamorous motif is a blend of vintage, modern, and formal.

 

So feel free to have that seated dinner style and keep the dance floor alive with a full jazz band!

 

 

For invitations, you can’t go wrong with zippy fonts, intricate geometric shapes, and sharp lines.

 

 

Think “vintage allure,” try to seduce your guests with luxurious champagne promises, and hypnotize with glitter.

 

 

Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box with this theme!

 

Exquisite hotels don’t have to be the only option for this motif; we’d love to see someone recreate an “Orient Express” experience for their guests.

 

For the dining style, we suggest Small Plate entrees at food stations around the room.

 

This motif is all about being young, vibrant, and lively!

Keeping the dining style more socially inclined with some smaller cocktail, or belly-bar, tables for quick bites on the go will suit this energy the best.

 

 

More themes are yet to come, so keep an eye out for Part Three of this series, coming soon!
