We love the DPYC!
My name is Eric and I own an entertainment company by the name of Extreme DJ Service. The Dana point yacht Club is a preferred venue that we have had the privilege of working at for many years. If you are looking for a gorgeous view, great food and professional service… look no further, the DPYC is the place. We highly recommend the venue and their staff.

Low-key SoCal Oceanfront Venue with awesome facilities & staff
We loved working with Danielle at the Dana Point Yacht Club for our wedding this past October! Danielle was always very responsive and very patient, answering our millions of questions leading up to our special day. She was very accommodating and really did everything she could to help bring our vision to life. The facilities are great - beautiful waterfront patios and 180 degrees of water/cliffside views from their oceanfront ballroom. All the SoCal ocean love, without getting sandy! All of our guests were impressed by the plated dinner entrees and we were able to come up with custom "bride and groom" drinks to match our personalities perfectly. Danielle offered to help set up and print out some of our last minute signs, so we didn't have to worry about things coming together. If you are looking for an ocean-front venue in South OC that has a low-key yacht club vibe (and is very reasonable for F&B and venue rental fees) - we would definitely recommend choosing this one! Thank you again Danielle & DPYC! :)

Danielle was amazing as our Wedding Coordinator!
We loved getting married at Dana Point Yacht Club! Danielle was the best Wedding Coordinator and guided us through the entire process. The entire ceremony and reception went off without a hitch and she was there the whole time to ensure everything went perfectly. I would recommend getting married here to anyone, it was beautiful and the staff was superb!

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.

Hidden gem, incredible venue, fantastic team!
We booked our wedding reception at the Dana Point Yacht Club and it was absolutely amazing. Not only is the venue gorgeous and the harbor background a unique and stunning view, the head event coordinator, Danielle is absolutely wonderful to work with. From the moment we first looked at the venue online, to emailing Danielle and setting an appointment, to touring the venue, phone calls, emails, the menu tasting, and everything in between, we were blown away. Danielle was fantastic throughout the entire process and we are so happy we chose the Yacht Club for our wedding reception. The day was perfect and it's all thanks to this incredible venue and people who work there. Danielle is easy to work with, timely in her responses and truly provides the best customer service. She answered all of our questions, big or small and accommodated my husband and I with our budget and vision. She made the wedding planning process easy and fun and worked seamlessly with our day-of wedding coordinator too. The Yacht Club really is a hidden gem and you can beat the "all inclusive" package options including; valet, gold chavari chairs, gold charger plates, champagne toast, cake cutting services, and the list goes on! Do yourself a favor and book your event here, you won't be disappointed!!

I can’t say enough good stuff about Danielle and her staff in the Special Events Department. I was privileged enough to find this venue through WeddingWire and then later, my company ended up working on their facility after an unfortunate water damage. From the moment I stepped onto the Property, I fell in love with the ambiance, location and spectacular views. After the damage was mitigated and all of the Restoration work was complete - that just added to the beauty of this venue.
Danielle and the General Manager, Russell, were gracious enough to accommodate my two children during the meal tasting, they recommended vendors with whom we could meet and eventually hire. She took the time to answer my many questions and had the patience to help me through the planning process.
In the end, our special day will sure to be magical in every sense of the word - and all because of the professionalism and talent that shows in all they do.

This is such a beautiful reception venue. From the hardwood floors to the chandeliers on the ceiling... to the breathtaking views of the Dana Point Harbor... all of our guests commented how beautiful the wedding was. Danielle was such a pleasure to work with. She was willing to work with our budget, and was very patient with us when it came to last minute changes (which makes a huge difference!) We also had so many moving parts--- we had a Korean tea ceremony during dinner for the guests to watch, and she was very accommodating to our needs and what we needed to make it possible. The cocktail hour location is right by the water with string lights above. We were also able to convert that area into a s'mores pit later on that night. The staff was professional and kind, and the food was wonderful!
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!
