Balboa Park Administration Building

This review is for a rental of the courtyard for a wedding ceremony. My wife and I wanted to get married in Balboa Park, to be outdoors without being on display in a public place. Since we had already booked the Spanish Village Art Center for the reception, we wanted something nearby. For a couple hundred bucks, we rented the Balboa Park Administration Building Courtyard for the entire day. It’s a beautiful and secluded venue, less than a half a mile down the hill from Balboa Park. You’ll have to provide the chairs and PA system, but this is a great spot if you’re looking for something less public and more intimate, but adjacent to the park. One thing to be aware of — you are in the flight path, so be prepared to pause the ceremony about once every ten minutes. We didn’t take ourselves too seriously — our officiant and guests had a laugh about the whole thing.
