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."
Twist on the Traditional Wedding Cake
The traditional wedding cake is no longer every bride’s dream. Desserts of many shapes and sizes are beginning to delight the taste buds of brides and grooms. The most fluffy, flavorful, sweet and unique dessert is the cupcake. From vanilla to red velvet, with frosting and decor of any kind, the cupcake has put a new contemporary twist on cake design. Ditzie Cakes has been one of the many vendors at Estancia La Jolla to create a beautiful cupcake tier which adds the perfect personal touch of the bride and groom. Other local bakeries featuring custom cupcakes include: Michele Coulon Desertier and Cupcakes Squared.
