About

The Dana Point Yacht Club is a marina in the Orange County, California area hosting weddings for couples who want a waterfront wedding venue. This private coastal venue is perfect for local or destination weddings, with an array of watercraft and a ballroom space overlooking the water. Couples will find this venue located in Dana Point Harbor, ten minutes from the San Juan Community Center.

Facilities and Capacity
This ballroom seats a maximum of 200 guests for a couple’s big day. The wedding ceremony can take place in the ballroom or on the Bayview Patio facing the water. This romantic waterfront space seats 90 guests for a wedding ceremony. A wooden rail supporting glass panels keep couples and guests safe while still offers views of the waves. Tan awnings help to shade guests as couples exchange vows under a bamboo pergola. The ballroom can host receptions or wedding ceremonies of up to 200 attendees. Large windows drop down to the floor to showcase the beautiful water views from this space. Shining dark hardwood glows in the natural light from the windows and the reflection of the overhead chandeliers. These light fixtures feature tiers of golden lights that hang from the cathedral ceiling. For ceremonies in this space, guests can move to the attached Commodore’s Patio for the cocktail reception.

Dream Wedding Venue

We had our wedding reception at the Dana Point Yacht club on 9/8/18 and it was the perfect day thanks to Danielle, the wedding/event coordinator, and all of their hard-working staff. We started working with Danielle shortly after booking the venue and she was amazing to work with from the start. She always made sure we had everything on track and helped answer our questions anytime we had them throughout the planning process. The venue comes with a lot of included items and vendors, and we were happy with everything and everyone we worked with. We honestly cannot say enough great things about Danielle, she made the planning process easier on us and was so helpful. The Yacht club provides all the food and drinks, and everything was great and ran so smoothly. We had a buffet and had an open bar. The food was delicious and our guests for our wedding of 100 people never had to wait longer than a few minutes for a drink, even after the rush to the bar after the ceremony. The pricing for this venue is reasonable considering everything that was included. If you are on the fence about this venue, I would say that it is absolutely worth a look. The views are beyond beautiful and there many rooms at this venue to have your wedding and or reception .We will always be beyond grateful to Danielle and the entire staff for making our day beyond a dream.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We've been to a few events that we have both worked as a photographer and attended as a vendor and guest. They do a great job! It's a great venue with beautiful views of the harbor. They have great indoor and outdoor spaces and there are so many pretty views for photos. The food is really great too. We highly recommend them for your wedding or event!
