    The San Diego Best Venue!

    Bali Hai was simply the best venue to have our wedding. We got married in November 2022 and had 100 people. We were in the South Pacific Room and it was wonderful. I am so thankful for Jenny, Brittany and all of the Banquet Staff for making our wedding day the best experience ever. I cannot recommend Bali Hai enough. They made everything so easy for us. I am just so pleased with this venue. Again, it is simply the BEST!

    Awesome experience!

    We just had our wedding at the Bali Hai on 11/11/22! We rented out the Hawaiian village and it was the perfect space for our 70 guests. A big shout out to Jenny at the Bali Hai who stuck with us from signing the contract down to the final details before the wedding . Communication is so important to me when planning a wedding and Jenny made sure to answer any of my questions within the same day :) if she couldn’t answer , someone else would on her behalf which was nice . Jenny is super sweet and everything on my wedding day turned out amazing! The staff was awesome and so attentive to my husband and I and our guests. I look forward to celebrating our anniversary every year at the Bali Hai ☺️ thanks again for making my dream wedding so easy to plan!

    Wedding dream come true

    Bali Hai was a dream come true. We are so happy with our choice. From the moment we booked, Jenny and Brittany were responsive and super helpful with all of my questions. They made the process very easy. The venue itself is beautiful and the set up was great. We got many compliments that said this was the best wedding venue they had been to and we agree! The views were stunning and I can't wait to see our pictures. Highly recommend Bali Hai and we will forever be fans of the restaurant and plan to return yearly :)

Where could be even begin in giving our endorsements to the Bali Hai Restaurant? A 20+ year love affair with the food and the view. A 15 year wedding vendor relationship with the Baumann Family and easily over 100+ wedding ceremonies performed at the beautiful San Diego bay side location with such an awesome support staff where in addition to all this; we booked this very location for our daughter Sarah's wedding. Over the last 10 years, Larry Baumann and his family has donated their location to our www.militrymondays.net philanthropic outreach where in November 2015, we celebrated our 500th FREE ceremony to our active military. We love the Bali Hai!

The Bali Hai staff is accommodating and professional in every way. The setting is right on the water and the ceremony site is intimate and right on the harbor. The outdoor patio is the perfect size, and is also right along the water. The venue is memorable and modern.
