Exceptional

Where do I even begin? The view was ah-ma-zing, the food - exceptional, the service - superior. Chart House and the catering staff Marisa, Melissa & Chris made our dream wedding (during covid) come true.

It was everything we expected + more! Aside from being the best out of the 4 we considered taste wise, their wedding package offered & provided the best value compared to the other options that had a view of the water.

Marisa was such a pleasure to work with, very easygoing, easy to reach and responded in a timely manner each time.

My husband and I are big foodies so it was important to us that the food not only was delicious but 4 protein options (beef, chicken, fish and shellfish), 2 pasta options and 3 sides - to cater to everyone and the hors d’oeuvres were just delish.

It was also a relief that they were able to accommodate and helped with our request to separate ceremony and reception seating by household and made sure that the tables and chairs were spaced 6 feet apart. We had an outdoor micro wedding with 46 guests, and it was important for us to follow all the safety protocols to make sure we can celebrate safely.

Thank you Chart House, Marisa, Melissa & Chris. You all rock and we cannot wait to come back for our monthly date night dinners there!

This is a wonderful location that is perfect for a daytime wedding on the beach. This location has everything you need in one location. Ceremony done on site with wonderful food served by the Chart House. Marisa is a dream to work with too! Don't hesitate to check it out!

The wedding was perfect that day. Marisa kept things running very smooth and I never noticed anything go wrong or get messed up because it was seamless. The guests LOVED the view and food! Our wedding at this location set the bar high!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I love working at this venue. You can't get a better view of the Dana Point Harbor then this. Marisa is a great coordinator. She runs the wedding from start to finish. Very professional and every Bride and Groom are always so happy! I am looking forward to many weddings at the Chart House in 2014. Thank's Marisa for making my job so enjoyable! Jeff Tackett.
