Leyla for 818 Tequila at The Westgate Hotel in San Diego.

This hotel is one of my absolute favorite luxury wedding venues in the United States and California. It gives old money in every single corner with a Titanic-esque grandeur feel in every room.

With intimate settings styled with the fine details of the Palace of Versailles in mind, The Westgate even has a dining experience. My go-to restaurant to romanticize life and have an “Emily in Paris” day.
