Bridal Showers
Set the room for a brunch, a tea party or a henna and Mehndi celebration, then let the natural light and a balloon arch do the rest.
Bridal Showers detailsBook the room
Showers, birthdays and gatherings for fifteen to fifty guests
Brick + Laurel is one room on Guild St in La Mesa: exposed brick, string lights and long dark wood tables under timber trusses. Hosts rent it by the hour or the day and bring in their own caterer, baker and florist, and the room does the rest. Below are the five ways people book it most often, from bridal brunches to a private coffee tasting, each with its own page for photos, formats and what to plan around.

How booking works here
Rent by the hour for $149 an hour with a four hour minimum, in a daytime slot from 8am to 4pm or an evening slot from 5pm to midnight. For the whole day, All Day Access runs 8am to midnight for $2,200 and includes four dining tables and forty five chairs. Monday through Thursday events get a discounted weekday rate, just ask when you call. Every rate and add on, including the balloon arch and the cold brew, is on the pricing page.
Brick + Laurel keeps an open vendor policy, so you bring your own caterer, baker, florist and decorator instead of choosing from someone else's approved list. The chalkboard, the bar area and the grazing table are already part of every booking, and you can rent the dining tables and chairs on site if you'd rather not haul your own in.
The easiest way to plan a date is to call or email and set up a short tour of the room in person, walk the space, and talk through your guest count and layout before you book anything. Reach out here or call (619) 467-8401, and we'll find a time that works.
