Weddings & Events

Romance Expert
As Director of Catering, Erica Hinshaw brings years of experience along with a superior sense of style and sophistication to the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Prior to her arrival in 2006, Erica coordinated weddings at Hyatt Regency Islandia, where she was first able to showcase her astounding attention for detail, her astute eye for style, and commitment to execution. Throughout the years, Erica has dedicated herself to making lasting memories and is truly inspired by the close bonds she forms with her couples and witnessing the love between them. Her distinct passion for what she does played a big role in the Estancia's recognition of being "Best Wedding Venue" by San Diego's ABC affiliate, KGTV-Channel Ten.
For Erica, the most rewarding part of the event planning process comes when she sees the groom's faces as they watch their soon-to-be brides walk down the aisle; the smiles on their faces lets her know they have achieved success.
"Memories are comprised of an eclectic array of sights, sounds, scents, and moments. I take pride in my great ability to utilize all possible resources in order to create a truly perfect and memorable experience."
Ashley DeGroot & Tommy Groe Wedding
On a gorgeous August afternoon, Ashley and Tommy invited their friends and family to celebrate their everlasting love and happiness at Estancia La Jolla. Romance filled the Garden Courtyard with an abundance of dahlias and roses in every shade of pink. Copper lanterns and adornments completed the classic vintage look which Ashley envisioned for her wedding day. The elegant design was created by Annette Gomez whose floral are always so enchanting. As the processional began, little bell ringers filled the audiences with adoration, followed by two ring bearers, and a darling flower girl. Ashley looked absolutely stunning as she made her entrance down the cascading staircase. Under a radiant archway, Tommy and Ashley sealed their vows with a kiss and began their happy life as man and wife. Aaron Deleise Photography had the pleasure of capturing every moment of the magical day.
