Come see what makes our Skybox tower the private event space in San Diego that stands above all the rest.
Why is The Skybox so popular?
It’s true that there are many options when you think about private event spaces or wedding venues in San Diego. You may have even visited a few already. Nothing against the others, but what you’ll likely find is that many of these event spaces are a bit old school. The hotel venues feel like multi-purpose ballrooms. They may have had a corporate lunch in the very same room earlier in the day. No matter how much you decorate, there’s just something that feels somewhat impersonal. And for your wedding or special event, we feel your San Diego venue should shine through.
That’s what makes the Skybox so popular and unique. You don’t have to hold your wedding or gathering in a generic property. Imagine taking the elevator up to a breathtaking view – the best view in Downtown San Diego, in fact. Your guests will be charmed by the ambiance of the Skybox, from its welcoming outdoor area to its chic interior. Think of an amazing day or night in your own private event space and lounge – that’s the Skybox. It’s not stuffy or overly corporate. It’s not bland and interchangeable. It has a vibe all its own that wedding couples and partygoers really connect with.
How to book The Skybox
Our San Diego banquet hall and event space tends to book out far in advance, especially on highly desired calendar dates. So if you are planning a wedding or special event, be sure to contact us right away. Be ready with your event date so we can confirm availability. We’ll then take you through a few details, along with options for your event. If you like what you hear, we highly advise that you book The Skybox as soon as possible to ensure your first choice date. Our highly knowledgeable wedding and events staff will help ensure that all the specifics of your event are handled with the utmost care!

My husband and I are city people and love the urban feel. We checked out so many places and this one was even better than what we expected... I was so happy I found The Ultimate Skybox! It has the most amazing views all around, windows from floor to ceiling, and not to mention the best staff. Julia was our wedding coordinator and was awesome. So friendly and down to earth. We were suppose to have our wedding on the balcony, but there was a big chance of rain, so we had to have it inside... and it turned out, in my opinion, even better inside. The way the windows made reflections on the glossy wood floors was so beautiful. It was so magical. I also loved how our guests could hang out on the heated balcony or inside during the reception.They have everything you could ever need for an amazing wedding! Such an amazing experience!Thank you guys so much! read less

City views, upscale decor, but still fun and youthful. It really was terrific. I mean, just look at this view! yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… and yelp.com/biz_photos/the-…I loved that the ceremony and reception were all in one location. I also loved the fireplace, it's kind of my "thing." So for me, that was a selling point. I've reviewed the Event team separately over at Creative Affairs, so feel free to check that out, but a quick summary is that they're amazing, hard working and wonderful! read less

It's definitely the "Ultimate".We held our reception here and everyone just RAVED about how spectacular the view was. Pili, is who we worked with to put it all together, was just such a doll. ! The vendors she suggested were excellent (Although not too fond with the Floral vendor we chose), other than that, it was a night that was unforgettable, and they make your special occasion an event of the year. Its costly but well worth it ! I can honestly say that no wedding we have been too since have ever topped the skybox! read less

My husband and I knew this was our wedding venue the moment we stepped into the room. Forget your hotel ballrooms with no windows or generic garden gazebo. You don't even need to spend tons on decorations or lighting with the sweeping city lights and landscape all around you. The venue comes with, hands down, the best wedding coordinators in the business from Creative Affairs, a built in bar (you can bring your own spirits at no extra charge), security, and a list of preferred vendors for rentals and catering that you'd probably pick anyway they're so good. We still get genuine compliments from our wedding guests about how it was the best wedding and venue they'd been to and we were married in October 2016. Sunset pictures from this venue are to die for and unlike other wedding pictures you'll see. We truly had our dream wedding and day at The Ultimate Skybox. Our coordinator, Rachel, allowed us to show our out of town parents the venue on separate occasions before the big day, with no hassle at all. The pricing is upfront, and although maybe a bit higher than other venues, so worth it in the end as it really includes a lot, and allows you to just really enjoy the planning process and wedding day! read less

Everything about the venue and the service we received was first class and exceeded our expectations. Our event coordinator, Stefanie Muse, was absolutely amazing. She was accessible, super responsive, and totally on top of every detail regarding our event. Her exceptional service allowed us to focus solely on enjoying our wedding and having a great time with our guests because she handled every little detail and kept the event running smoothly from start to finish. The venue provided spectacular views and a unique wedding experience that made a huge impression on all of our guests. It truly was a magical evening that we will never forget. read less

We rented the space for a birthday celebration and it was the perfect space, with gorgeous views of downtown San Diego, an outdoor fireplace, a kitchen and bar for the catering team to utilize, monitors for slide shows and a state-of-the-art sound system. Our site liaison, Jessica, was a delight to work with. She was professional, courteous and punctual, the first to arrive and the last to leave on the day of the event. Would highly recommend the Skybox if you're looking for a special space to hold an event. read less

We had the opportunity of celebrating some friends of ours wedding reception up here in the Ultimate Skybox in the Diamondview Tower. The views are unbelievable and the setup was gorgeous! Perfect views of Petco park, the San Diego skyline & the bay. They had a 12 foot long outdoor fireplace. They also had a security guy holding us down all night lol.. This is definitely an amazing place and if you ever get the chance to come up here don't skip out. If it wasn't so far for us, I would suggest this being where we have our reception.OOOOO5 out 5 Afros read less

We had the great pleasure of having Rachael Mendoza be our day-of coordinator. Wen I say "day-of" it really is an understatement, Rachael was an integral part of planning everything so that the day went off flawlessly. In addition to all of the planning and coordinating of vendors, Rachael also helped me surprise my bride/wife with a live event artist. This involved twice the amount of work for her (coordinating a second layout meeting, sending separate emails to us and then to me separately and doing all very covertly). Quite honestly, I don't think we could have done it without her. read less

The venue has a sweeping view of the stadium (you can actually watch the game from the balcony) and the harbor. Gorgeous. There's a full bar, super clean bathrooms with lots of toiletry baskets, and even a small area for guestbook/photobooth/gift table settings. Really nice. There's even a warm fire place area outside for when it gets chillier at night. Loved the venue and had a great time! read less

They chose the site and I could not have been more pleased. All I did was show up and have a good time and that I did!. When I stepped foot in the skybox, it took my breath away. I stopped in my tracks to take it all in. Photo enlargements of the newlyweds greeted us off of the elevator (a must do!!); the table setting was so pleasant and large windows show-cased views of downtown San Diego and beyond. Then I walked onto the balcony and fans were piling into Petco Stadium as the Padres had a game the same night. It could not have been better!Julia made this experience delightful! I would advise every couple to use the Skybox and to hire Julia!! I live in the Minneapolis, MN area and would have paid more for a venue than I did this in San Diego.Norma K. read less

They were fantastic. My husband and I do not live in California so I had flown out to look at a few venues, none of them being the Skybox. I told him I narrowed it down to two. Then right before we both had the opportunity to come out to look at the two I had chosen, we saw the Skybox on the Wedding-Spot and the Knot. My husband said we "HAD" to check it out. I called Amanda and she was the nicest person ever. We booked our appointment and the minute we walked in, my husband said: "This is it".The Skybox is stunning and has some of the best views in San Diego. It is non-traditional and made us feel like we truly had a unique wedding. Before the wedding, we were introduced to our wedding coordinator, Chauncey. Chauncey is one of the sweetest people! She is so experienced and organized. I'm a little OCD and she was able to handle my expectations, meet them, and go above and beyond them. Both her and Amanda were always willing to speak with me on the phone and answer any questions/concerns I had. They were able to point me in the right direction as far as a caterer goes and give recommendations for all our other vendors.At the wedding, all our guests expressed how beautiful the venue was. We were told that it was one of the best weddings and that the view from the venue made it. Our guests were extremely happy because everything ran seamlessly. I never had to worry about anything because Chauncey was there t the whole time. She would come up to me about 5 minutes before we had to do the next event (i.e. father-daughter dance, cake cutting, etc.) and ask if Philip (my husband) and I were ready to move on or if we wanted a few more minutes.Honestly, the care and attention she and her staff that day gave were beyond excellent. Chauncey made sure we ate that day, had a drink in our hands, and were overall happy. The venue is drop-dead gorgeous, but the staff deserves all the praise. I will recommend this place 11 out of 10 times. read less

The views of Coronado, Petco and the San Diego skyline are spectacular. Skybox is particularly magical at night. All of our guests raved about the view and it really created the ultimate wedding reception experience! The Creative Affairs team that coordinates events for Skybox is fantastic! We first met Amanda who showed us the venue and we were impressed by how down to earth she was as well as detail-oriented and organized! We knew our wedding reception would be in good hands with Creative Affairs. Jessica was the coordinator who was assigned to our wedding and she was also fantastic to work with! I'm a Type A personality and had lots of random questions leading up to the wedding and Jessica always responded to my e-mails quickly. I really trusted her advice when it came to the layout, logistics, timeline, etc...She is so sweet too! Our reception was perfect! Thanks, Creative Affairs! read less

We were there for a birthday party, and from the looks of it, the venue has everything for a great party:- easy to find location, in gaslamp- beautiful view- bar - stage and audio for live band/DJ/speeches- nice bathrooms- food stationsIf you're looking for a sit down dinner, I'm not sure if they're able to provide that, but our party hosts had food stations and tons of hors d'oeuvre being passed around. Food was pretty good too.Not sure about the parking situation since we walked there from our hotel.We had a great time, and as a bonus, Monster Jam was going on at Petco the night we were there, so it was extra entertainment provided. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking to host an unforgettable party. read less
