First of all, Moniker Events has a diverse portfolio of over six unique venues that they manage and operate. As any experienced event planner knows, each gathering is totally unique, and selecting the right backdrop is essential to the success of a smooth celebration. Moniker Events offers a range of spaces to choose from, including warehouses, sprawling promenades, beautiful buildings with soaring ceilings and a venue with views of the salty sea. Each space is thoughtfully designed with purpose and adaptability in mind, ensuring that there are options galore for every style and occasion.

Let's start with this historic stunner. Situated in the picturesque Liberty Station of San Diego, Building 177 was once a Naval Training Center Library! This venue now razzles and dazzles with over 7,000 square feet of modern, easy-to-adapt space. Highlighted by grand vaulted ceilings, exposed white beams, and striking black windows, the space seamlessly marries historical charm with contemporary design. The black and white palette is chock full of features like crafted glass and metal sliding doors, providing a dreamy architectural canvas. Added perks include market lights, an array of tables, and white folding chairs. 

Inside Scoop: The event space is connected to a historic 20,000 sq foot promenade dotted with palm trees, a breathtaking fountain, and vibrant gardens. This means that you can add-on an outdoor venue space for larger gatherings. Rent the entirety of the outdoor promenade or one of the smaller areas - Luce Court, Legacy Plaza, or Sybil Rose Garden. 

Nestled in the historic Embarcadero area, The Lane is truly Oscar worthy. The 12,000-square-foot space has a dreamy 3,500-square-foot terrace, ideal for waterfront weddings and corporate events. The venue offers a minimalist modern canvas, furnished suite, customizable lighting, versatile wooden dining setups and two expansive bars. Your guests will be tickled pink as they walk through the sliding glass doors to the sun-soaked terrace with seaside soul cleansing San Diego views of the historic Midway, Star of India and original Padres stadium. Soak it up, soak it in. 

Inside Scoop: The terrace at sunset is the best place for photos, especailly the corner that faces the iconic USS Midway aircraft carrier.

We've seen it happen before. Your coordinator hasn't worked with the venue you booked and is engaged in an email battle over the open flame policy, meanwhile your dance floor lighting is looking a lot more like flood lighting. You had envisoined a soft amber glow. Yikes. 

Everybody knows that the crowning jewel to a successful event is having a vendor team who are familiar with the venue space, it's a vital element to ensuring the day-of logistics go off without a hitch. One can only imagine how seamless a celebration would flow if your event planning team also owned and operated the venue space. Moniker Events does just that, with an offering of three event coordination packages! Their team knows every nook and cranny of each venue space (literally), ensuring that there will be no day-of surprises. Book a Moniker venue, book the Moniker Events team. Voila! You have only one email chain to keep track of. Easy peasy, one and done. 

The secret sauce doesn't stop with the Moniker Event coordinators ensuring your day runs as smooth as butter. They also have a team of event designers, Luna Wild Design, who can help you pick out that aforementioned pesky napkin palette. These event architects believe a memorable party is the result of thoughtful planning tailored to your style. With comprehensive services that cover everything from design sourcing to vendor liaison, they will take everything off your party cake plate.

Everybody jump, jump.
 

Tink tink tink. Excuse us, we’d like to make a toast.

Inside Scoop: Try the 'El Jefe', a tequila-based cocktail with lime juice and orange served with a dehydrated orange slice garnish and house-made jalapeño syrup for an extra burst of flavor. We also heared that the 'Paris in Jeune' is delish. A blend of lemon juice, grapefruit cordial, gin topped with sparkling wine and garnished with a dehydrated grapefruit slice. YUM.
