Imperial Beach, California – Taylor Cram and Kurt Gairing had everything planned for their dream wedding at Salt Drift Pointe in Imperial Beach on April 27, 2025. They booked hotel rooms, secured vendors and fell in love with the venue. However, their excitement turned into disappointment when they found out that the venue’s lease will expire on November 30.
Like many other couples expecting to tie the knot at Salt Drift Pointe in 2025, they were left in limbo. The property manager, Terry McCaleb, sent a letter to the venue owners stating that the lease will not be extended. The owners, Inzunza and Snyder, are facing business differences that may result in the closure of the venue.
Inzunza has taken legal action against Snyder, alleging that he was locked out of the company’s accounts and denied access. This legal battle has left couples like Cram and Gairing uncertain about their wedding plans. Despite their uncertainty, they remain committed to getting married on their chosen date, even if it means finding a new venue at the last minute.
As the future of Salt Drift Pointe remains uncertain, other event venues are being considered to take over the property. However, there is no guarantee that existing contracts will be honored by the new management. The situation is likened to a divorce by McCaleb, who remains hopeful that a resolution will be reached soon.
While the couples eagerly await updates on the venue’s fate, they are exploring alternative options to ensure that their special day goes on as planned. The looming deadline of November 30 has put pressure on everyone involved, but the spirit of love and commitment prevails.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Cram and Gairing hold onto the belief that as long as they have each other, the location of their wedding is secondary. Their resilience and determination to make the best of the situation serve as a reminder that love conquers all, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
