You have heard of a Destination Wedding, how about planning a Destination Class Reunion or even a Graduation party?  Why not add a little “experience” to a Class Reunion or plan a unique way to celebrate the Grad by having your event in San Diego? No matter where you hold your event, your group can experience San Diego County’s “micro-climates” from desert to beach, mountain to valley. San Diego offers almost a year long opportunity for outdoor parties because of the temperate climate.

San Diego County offers a wide array of event facilities stretching from The Pier and Harbor in Oceanside (North County San Diego minutes from Orange County) through the well-known horse-racing venue, the Del Mar Fairgrounds, to the historic heart of San Diego – the famous Gaslamp Quarter. Throughout the county you can choose from a variety of cuisines, entertainment and Special Event venues. The hotels are first class to fit any need and budget, many offering golf and spa services… like the famous La Costa Resort and Spa.  In fact, San Diego County can boast about her many fine golf courses from La Costa to Aviara to legendary Torrey Pines where attendees can retrace of the steps of such golfing greats as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson.

Your guests will be able to get to the event because the area is served by major airports, train and in some cases only a short drive away. San Diego is accessible by air with an International Airport, by train through Amtrak and even by sea as the Port of San Diego has one of the most beautiful harbors and a new Cruise Ship Terminal. 

And while the beach is usually thought of first, San Diego has so much many other locations to think about. Attractions are plentiful for leisure tours or off-site special events. The county is home to the world famous San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and other unique attractions abounding with rich history.

• Consider a Winery in San Diego County.  There are beautiful wineries with excellent venues and great food.  The weather is not an issue and they are easy to get to. 

• Make it a History Lesson at one of the many historical sites such as the Spanish Missions, which were so important to the discovery of the west, and museums that have been created for past celebrations, such as Balboa Park in San Diego where the Panama-California Exposition was held in 1915 when the Panama Canal was opened.

• Entertain the cowboys and cowgirls at a ranch or farm where you can have a real Western theme. 

•  Plan an outing at the World Famous San Diego Zoo or Safari Park where you can have lunch with the elephants or dine in the heart of Africa.  And SeaWorld is where you can all celebrate with a close encounter of the dolphin kind.
