Bramble Bay Venue: A Stunning Wedding Destination in Imperial Beach

A New Chapter for a Beloved Coastal Venue

Imperial Beach has always been one of San Diego’s hidden gems for couples dreaming of a coastal wedding. Nestled right along the bay, the venue once known as Salt Drift Pointe has recently been reimagined as Bramble Bay Venue, bringing new life, fresh energy, and modern charm to an already beloved space.

Panoramic Bay Views & Endless Backdrops

Bramble Bay offers breathtaking views of San Diego, making it one of the most photogenic venues in South Bay. The waterfront backdrop is perfect for romantic sunset ceremonies, chic cocktail hours, and receptions that keep the coastal charm front and center. From golden-hour portraits by the water to twinkling lights reflected on the bay, Bramble Bay is a photographer’s dream and a couple’s perfect stage.

Why Couples Love Bramble Bay

• Waterfront location – Just minutes from downtown but feels like a retreat.

• Indoor + Outdoor flexibility – Ceremony on the pier, reception indoors with panoramic views.

• Blank-canvas space – Easily customizable with vibrant florals, modern décor, or coastal-chic minimalism.

• Capacity – Large enough to host a celebration with friends and family without losing intimacy.

A Venue With History

For years, Salt Drift Pointe was a go-to for couples looking for a unique South Bay wedding venue. With its transformation into Bramble Bay, the space has been elevated while still honoring the charm that made it so popular. Couples who once knew the venue as Salt Drift Pointe can now rediscover it in its new form: fresher, more polished, and ready for unforgettable celebrations.

Snake Oil Venues

Bramble Bay is part of a growing family of venues under the leadership of Snake Oil Cocktail Company, the team behind some of San Diego’s most dynamic event spaces. Alongside Bramble Bay, they also own and operate Vesper and Julep Venue, both well-regarded for their style, versatility, and hospitality. Snake Oil is currently in the process of rolling out a new parent company brand that will encompass all of these venues under one cohesive identity, signaling a commitment to elevating the wedding and events experience across San Diego. For couples, this means consistent quality, creative service, and access to some of the city’s most sought-after spaces, all under one trusted name.
