Perfectly Perfect

This was a stunning venue. While COVID prevented us from getting married on the sand, the sun deck ceremony we had was beyond beautiful. Our reception was in the conference room and turned out incredible. The landscaping and grounds of the hotel provided for a perfect day! Thank you to Loren for all the help and communication. Our day was absolutely wonderful and so enjoyable!

Rehearsal Dinner Venue

We held our rehearsal dinner at the Lighthouse Suites and had a wonderful experience planning and executing our event with their team. Everyone we worked with was responsive and professional. The event space itself was also perfect for our event. We definitely recommend as a rehearsal space and also as a hotel for your wedding guests.

Our family stayed at Avila Lighthouse Suites for our wedding weekend and we hosted a beer and wine welcome night here as well. Sarah and Alicia were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and every one of our guests raved about how sweet and friendly the entire staff was. We will definitely be back!! This hotel is in the perfect locations, tons to do within walking distance, and has a beautiful room on site perfect for large group gatherings!

I LOVED having my wedding at Avila Lighthouse Suites!! It could not have been any better. Cayse was absolutely wonderful to work with!!! I planned my wedding from Oregon and Cayse was so helpful. Not only was she responsive to my emails but she also helped me with choosing my other vendors. I would never dream of having my wedding anywhere else!! I loved it and all of my guests did too!!
