Testimonials
“We hosted a welcome party here a few weeks ago. I love this spot!! My friends and family agreed as well. The value is exceptional as well. The clubhouse overlooks Mission Bay, there is both indoor/outdoor space, tables, chairs, umbrellas, market lights, and new outdoor fireplace, dedicated parking lot,and a sound system with outdoor speakers all included! Susan, the manager was great to work with. She’s very prompt in returning emails, was available the day of the event to make sure all went well, and made the booking process hassle- free! I don’t think many people realize this place exists or there would be a wait list. We used Coast Catering for our event, and between the location and caterer- it was a fabulous night! What a gem of a place!”

“We couldn’t have been more happy! Right from the start Susan was so helpful. She responded to every email right away and she was so accommodating to meeting us at the venue anytime I needed. She had wonderful ideas and arranged the inside to accommodate our needs. Everyone raved about how beautiful and perfect the venue was and we couldn’t have agreed more! Big or small this venue rocked!!!”

“My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago and had the best experience. It was very affordable and Susan was very helpful. I did a DIY wedding and Susan helped with every step of the way. She is very laid back and easy to work with. We went over to ZLAC several times to do walk-throughs and she was always available and had great suggestions for the layout. The venue for the wedding was a beautiful back drop and very spacious for 130 guests. Susan was around the whole night helping and made the event run very smoothly. I had a great experience at ZLAC and would have another party there anytime!”
