Why do you have restrictions on balloon releases and confetti?

Balloon Release: Los Willows, along with all other Venues in San Diego County, are not permitted to release any Balloons or any other thing that floats in air. Unfortunately, this is a San Diego County law and any balloon made of a material that is electrically conductive is prohibited from being filled with a gas that is lighter than air and released outdoors. Selling or distributing balloons filled with a gas that is lighter than air is also prohibited.

Confetti: Los Willows is an outdoor venue, and we love for our couples to celebrate in fun ways! Unfortunately, due to us being in a natural setting, the confetti, dissolving and otherwise, disrupts the gentle balance of our wildlife, so we ask that you save that for the other celebrations you have with your family and friends leading up to your wedding day. Please speak to your wedding planner about fun alternatives that are festive and memorable
