The story
A Victorian Seaside Landmark on Coronado
The Del opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world, and it is now a National Historic Landmark. Its red-roofed Victorian buildings and wooden interiors stand on about 28 acres of oceanfront on Coronado Island, a short drive over the bridge from downtown San Diego. A hotel with this much history has had a long time to refine how it handles weddings, and the range of settings is wide enough for very different styles.
Outdoors, the beach is the obvious choice. North Beach (about 70,000 square feet) is charted for up to 1,500 at banquet tables and Main Beach for around 200, while the Windsor Lawn beside the sand takes up to 800 for dinner and is often used for welcome receptions. The Garden, a smaller lawn, seats about 340. Indoors, the Ocean Ballroom (12,600 square feet) seats 680 to 700 at rounds of ten, and the Crown Room, with its wood-domed ceiling, seats 500 to 560. Ceremony capacities are given on enquiry.
