About

Grand, Glamorous & One of a Kind

Few words can describe the ambiance of the Catalina Casino: it epitomizes all the glamour and romance of Catalina Island. This one-of-a-kind venue is stunning inside and outside. If the meticulously decorated walls could talk, they’d tell countless stories of romance and celebration gathered from decades of memorable events.The immense Deco-themed ballroom is large enough to contain both your wedding ceremony and reception.

Recently restored, the Casino retains its signature lavish style: stunning rose-hued walls, a 50-foot ceiling with five exquisite art deco chandeliers, an elevated stage, raised seating areas surrounding the wooden dance floor, and a vintage full-service bar. A sweeping veranda surrounds the ballroom with 360-degree view of Avalon. For those looking for the pinnacle of romance and luxury for their wedding look no further than the Catalina Casino.

The Casino is available from 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM, year-round. Additional charge for all-day events may be required. The Catalina Casino can accommodate up to 1,200 people. 1 Casino Way

A Dancer’s Dream Wedding, For Real

BEST. DAY. EVER.
The casino was such a beautiful place for me and my husband on our wedding day. All the staff were so kind to us and made it that much more special. We hadn’t our ceremony at the theatre and the reception in the ballroom and it felt so awesome to be surrounded by such magical history. I could really feel the old Hollywood vibes and the classy elegant 20s spirit that day. My husband told me he was gonna marry me when we were just dating and did a tour of the place and he sure did make it the wedding of my dreams. For real. Most fun EVER. Book here and you will not regret it!!!

The Catalina Country Club did a wonderful job for us. We specifically have Jessica Marical, the even coordinator, to thank. She worked with us during our wedding planning process. Without a wedding planner to help us, she was our glue and she did her very best for us!! We are so grateful.

Creating our wedding with the Santa Catalina Island Company was a very positive experience. Dee Dee and the rest of the staff were exceptional all the way through. The quality of service was exceptional along with responsiveness, professionalism and flexibility. They provided us with a list of reputable and professional florists, officiants, photographers, DJ's and cake makers who are familiar with the island as well. I felt that Dee Dee and the rest went above and beyond and were extremly personable throughout the whole experience and made us feel like we were the only ones in the world getting married! We would highly recommend any couple to have their wedding on Catalina Island with the Catalina Island Company. Friends and family tell us that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too and how beautiful the night went!
