Balboa Inn "The resort"

This site is very nice, it is very intimate. I would recommend if your guest count is say 110, you are fine. Anything more than that (I had 150) is not as good because some of your guest will have to sit outside in the courtyard and kind of be excluded from the festivities. While the food is wonderful and the space is super cute, the events coordinator is HORRIBLE!!
Michael was extremely inconsistent and even lied to the manager about my request for Salmon (despite our contract). I will NEVER work with Michael G. again. It’s a shame that an individual representing the company can leave such a negative taste in my mouth. I will give the chef his props, the food is wonderful. The owner Ray and the manger Michele were very accommodating and friendly. If you dont mind being lied to about what your guests will be eating and if you dont mind a big talker with no results then I guess Michael the coordinator is your guy. The "resort" section of the hotel is beautiful; the other rooms are overpriced and outdated!

Hi Michael

I just wanted to write to thank you for all your hard work. Our wedding was wonderful and Chris and I could not come up with one thing we would have changed. The service was terrific, everyone had great things to say about the food, and we got so many compliments on our ceremony and reception. We both had a wonderful time and appreciate everything you did to make our day special. Thanks so much for a wonderful wedding!

We can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us. Our wedding would not have been anything if it wasn't for you and your dedication to your job and your clients. You alleviated all of our worries and all the little things that couples stress about. From the ceremony rehearsal to the final minutes of the reception, everything went perfectly. We knew from the moment we stepped into the courtyard, we knew that this was the place where we were going to get married. Like any other bride there are things to stress about, but that all changed when we met Santy and her staff, we were very impressed with how professional & courteous they were,and the generosity among them. They make you feel like family, they truly care about their clients and their needs and making all of their dreams come true on your wedding day.

Our dinner and service was fantastic. Everyone made sure that all the little things were taken care of thru the night. The Siena Room was the perfect place for the ambiance we wanted to create for our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Most of our guests were from the east coast, and they were blown away by the beauty, the history and the gorgeous views from the terrace of the Balboa Inn.

We hope that we have made the decisions for future bride & grooms to have their wedding here, at the Balboa Inn, an easy one.

Sincerely,
Scott and Kristen

Michael,

Our wedding day was absolutly beautiful. If anything went wrong we still have yet to hear about it!! Everyone raved about the food, how fantastic the bartenders were, and how beautiful the hotel is. There are a lot of things that can throw off the schedule of a wedding and Michael, you really went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
We are so gratefull for all that you did for us and our wedding guest.


Thank you,

Jason & Jessica
