Sweetwater Women’s Club

I am the ASB Advisor at a charter high school in Chula Vista called CVLCC. We had our Sadie Hawkins dance here last night and it couldn’t have gone better. Mike was VERY considerate and accommodating in every way. Upon arrival, the venue was set up just as coordinated and very clean.
I was so impressed with the cute venue which has an adobe feel to it with an enclosed patio. The venue already has a personality so decorations are only needed if wanted. I am looking back to coming back here in the future for future school events or even a personal party. Thanks Mike!

This is a sweet and lovely venue that we recently used for a baby shower. However, I believe it’s ideal for any occasion and have actually referred it to a few friends because our experience was great. Mike was very helpful from the beginning upon booking the venue, to the very end @ breakdown & cleanup. Venue provided all the tables and chairs that we needed and Mike set it up to the configuration that we requested. There is always someone accessible on site during the event. Venue has a very warm, quaint, and home-​like feel and is nicely tucked away in Bonita with tall trees in the background… and plenty of parking for guests! Highly recommend!

Excellent venue (in every way possible) for our family’s baby shower. Beautiful setting, large main room with attached kitchen, covered patio with bench seating, refrigerator and bar area and the look of a large home (not an institutional setting) with plenty of parking at the site.
Reserving this venue was extremely easy. Layout for shower planned ahead. Very clean facility. Wonderful caretakers who set up tables, chairs and whatever else was needed. They also saw that the trash was kept emptied and attended to any questions or needs we had during the event. And best of all, they took tables down, put the chairs away and took care of cleaning the facility after our use. (Oh, and the Westfield Bonita Plaza Mall is just a few blocks away!
I recommend this lovely venue without reservation!

We had my daughters 1^st birthday here and were very satisfied with the facility! Very roomy, minimal decorations needed, good sound system, and Air conditioning. The outside patio is a nice touch as well. Our main contact, mike, was very accessible prior to the event to answer any questions we had and was also very helpful during the actual party. Will probably be booking here again in the future!

Mike was very nice and hospitable. Very professional and Friendly. A few months ago we rented the place.

I had my baby shower here on October 2014. As soon as I walked into this place I knew it was where I wanted my baby shower to be held. It’s beautiful. It has a rustic touch to it. The fireplace is huge and great to use as part of your event decoration. The location & price are great! Plenty of parking which is a plus. The owners were very polite and helpful the day of the event so I don’t really know what the other reviews are about. One of the owners even helped during the event by putting out a couple more chairs then what I had originally planned to have.
I now plan on having my daughters first birthday party there and can’t wait!!(:

The place is very nice but unfortunately the owner’s wife is horrible. We rented this facility for a family gathering after we buried my husband’s grandma. My mother in law called and asked if she could just drop the linens off. The man said yes.
But upon arriving, a woman came and was so completely rude. She raised her voice at my mom and my sister in law. She had a major attitude. She said that because they had showed up early that the deposit would not be refunded! Ridiculous! We were only there maybe 10 min.
My mother in law was VERY upset. She started crying. This lady just added to the stress on a very hard day for her. I would not recommend this place to anybody because of her.
And i see I’m not the only one she’s been a jerk too.

So lucky that we have this gem of a venue so close to where we live. We had my daughter’s first birthday party here and it was a perfect fit for our fiesta themed bash. The gal that set up the reservation was nice and accommodating and the Manager of the property, Mike, was very helpful to us the day of the party. The property was very clean and well kept. The price was fair for the venue and time frame we used it for. We felt comfortable here, got many compliments from our guests about how great the party turned out and most importantly, everyone had an awesome time. We will definitely be renting again for our next big party.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Women’s club in January 2015 and it was wonderful! They were very accommodating and the hall looked beautiful! There were about 100 people at the reception and we had the caterers, drinks and desserts outside. They even had a projector screen for us to show photos. The hall was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend having an event there!

The best place ever I wish I could have seen this place before I got married I will be referring many people here. It’s unique and has so much to share. Thank you for helping us when we needed a hand may God bless this place!

Truth be told. We had our wedding reception here on June 28. There was a lot of confusion between the caretakers. Mike and his wife. Mike said yes his wife said no etc. she was rude to my party and argued with me on my wedding night. Making us put our stuff outside early. Then!!! The «operator» of this place had the nerve to tell me that «if I don’t take down my Unilocal review she will not refund my deposit» what a crock of BS. It clearly says on the Unilocal pages that a business owner CANNOT do that. Bit, because I wanted my $ 300 back I took it down until I got my check. Any lawyers out there wanna have any thoughts on this? It’s horrible!!!

Had heard from friends that the Sweetwater Woman’s Clubhouse was available to rent for receptions or events, but hadn’t seen it from the inside until i attended a fundraising event there last week. I used the opportunity to take a tour of the facilities. Wow, this place is a real gem! A beautiful venue, inside and out, and i would guess there were upwards of 125 – 150 or more people there inside and spilling out into a delightful enclosed patio area, with room to spare. Seems like it would be perfect for a 50^th Wedding Anniversary party. I did notice an older post mentioned no air conditioning, but since my business group is considering a September fundraiser, I asked one of the woman’s club members at the event about it and they do in fact have AC, so perhaps that was added or upgraded in the last few years. Definitely going to keep this place in mind for our next celebration!

It’s a nifty little venue for a small, intimate gathering. It’s a bit out of the way, and won’t hold a huge group, but if you only want a limited number of attendees, it’s a great place to get together.
There’s a nice outdoor deck area on one side of the building, so that might also be a useable gathering space. I’ve only been there in the winter, and then only in the evenings, so I haven’t had the opportunity to evaluate that area first hand.
The parking lot seems small at first, but when you consider the total max occupancy of the building, it’s about right.

I just had my wedding reception here (this past Saturday) and I have nothing but good things to say. The security guard (who was also in charge of the place during the event) was amazing. He was kind, helpful and available when needed. We were able to supply as much alcohol as we needed, have a taco man, and decorate the place however we wanted. My husband is now saying he wants to book all of our events at this place! If I could do it all over again I would not change my mind about choosing S. Women’s club as our reception location. I love that the restrooms are big too, I had no trouble using it in a wedding dress (with no help, ha!) The only dowside is the place is not air conditioned, but not 1 person passed out and the heat was not unbearable ;-).

Went here for the lecture. Outside is a bit dated but inside was nice enough with wood flooring.
3 stars because the huge bathroom window is a miniature door with a iron bars big enough to let cats through. Awkward taking a piss and having the midget door almost hit you + let people peak inside from the back.
(If I ever end up doing something here I’ll be sure to rate the place for more than it’s bathroom.)

I feel like the Sweetwater Woman’s Club is one of San Diego’s best kept secrets. My brother and I threw our mom’s 60^th birthday party there last night. It was a raving success, in large part due to this great, well-​managed, flexible venue.
While planning my wedding several years ago I got quite familiar with San Diego’s event spaces. I know what’s out there, what they cost, and what you get for your money. The Sweetwater Woman’s Club is a bargain and a charming, historical gem of a spot.
It’s got good «bones»: high, beamed ceilings, an arched fireplace (not functioning, but gorgeous with candles placed inside), hardwood floors, pretty windows, a huge enclosed patio with a built-​in bench along one side, a full kitchen, four restrooms, a bridal dressing room, pretty landscaping (succulents), and ample parking. It isn’t big or fancy — there’s no grand vistas or big chandeliers. But it’s clean and pretty. It’s an intimate space but seats 80 inside (and another 40 on the patio) very comfortably, including a good-​sized dance floor and room for a DJ (or band).
The hall manager was truly dedicated to making sure that our event went well and that we had a good time. She was very helpful during the planning stage and again the night of the party, and came through with many of those last minute little things we’d forgotten. Another plus with the SWC is that you aren’t forced to use their caterers, bartenders, etc. They are accommodating and flexible and provide renters with a lot of options, many of which are inexpensive (like an extra $ 75 for clean-​up). You aren’t burdened with tons of rules and policies and are instead free to enjoy yourself.
That said, they are pretty low-​tech. If you’re the type who likes to do everything online and via email, be aware that they don’t operate that way. They were responsive and returned calls promptly, but we did everything via snail mail and telephone. That was a bit of an adjustment for me, but it worked just fine. All in all, renting this space was a pleasure.
