San Diego, California

Music & Entertainment

In San Diego: Amplified sound is restricted at more than one of this region's best-known public sites, and the rules aren't the same everywhere. Cabrillo National Monument allows no amplified sound at all at its wedding site — non-amplified acoustic instruments only. Balboa Park doesn't publish a blanket ban, but its alcohol-free zone west of Cabrillo Bridge overlaps with several popular ceremony gardens, which affects how late a reception with music can run nearby. Ask your specific venue for its own cutoff in writing before you book a band, and if you're at a county park in Julian or Ramona, ask about the same rule for those grounds. The acts listed are concentrated in the city of San Diego, so factor travel time for anything in North County, East County or the inland venue towns into your quote.
