Wonderful Venue!

We had our ceremony and reception in the patio and garden and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! We chose this venue because it was near the beach and provided nearly everything we needed: service, tables/utensils/chairs, food and drinks. We had an intimate wedding with 48 guests and the Five Crowns team provided amazing service throughout the night. The events manager, Alison, was so helpful with the entire process and offered us one of the unreserved rooms upstairs to get ready and store some of our belongings which was a HUGE help! Everyone enjoyed the prime rib, chicken, and salmon. We had 1 vegan guest and she LOVED what she was served. We signed up for the Lawry’s VIP to use for our wedding and we earned enough points to go on a handful of dates at any Lawry’s Restaurant! Alison was so incredible to work with and helped guide us throughout the entire planning process. Highly recommend!

Amazing Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at Five Crowns and it was an amazing experience. If you’re looking for a venue consider this one and take a tour! The staff was raved about by our guests, the process of planning went smoothly, communication was amazing the entire time, food was delicious. Our day ended up being a rainy one up until guests arrived and even though we only booked the outdoor area they were so accommodating and flexible. Our guests were out of the rain and they allowed us to use a space we didn’t even rent out. We were so fortunate. I couldn’t have asked for more from a vendor. If I could do it again, I would choose this location all over again. I’m so happy with our choice to host our event at Five Crowns. It’s a gem. Email them; you won’t regret getting in contact with Alison.
Location: Amazing! We took pictures down by the ocean.
Parking: Valet and handicap friendly for guests.
Staff: Professional and on top of it.

Amazing Wedding Venue!

From start to finish Five Crowns impressed. We had our wedding and reception in the Greenhouse and patio areas for 45 guests and it was the perfect location. The food was amazing(as always), the service was impeccable and the drink/bar options were extensive. We are so happy we chose the Five Crowns for our wedding and would gladly recommend it to any other couple looking for a venue. The pricing is extremely competitive as well.

Thank you Alison!

Beautiful day!


We recently celebrated our wedding at Five Crowns, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance of the venue captivated us. The charming British pub feel combined with elegant decor created a perfect setting for our special day.

The staff at Five Crowns were exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Everything was organized and they were always available to address any concerns, making the planning process stress-free with the help of Ms. Alison Robbins she is amazing!

The food was a highlight of the event. We received countless compliments from our guests about the delicious menu. The presentation was stunning, and every dish was prepared to perfection. The signature cocktails were a lovely touch that everyone enjoyed.

The outdoor garden area was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. The lush greenery and fairy lights created a romantic atmosphere that we’ll cherish forever. Transitioning to the indoor space for the reception felt seamless, and the layout allowed for great flow throughout the night.

Overall, our wedding at Five Crowns exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a charming and memorable place to celebrate their special day. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding so magical.

Best wedding venue

Everyone raved how good the food and service was. The bar was very attentive and quick to serve the drinks as well! Highly recommend Five Crowns as a wedding venue. Lastly, working with Alison (the wedding event coordinator at Five Crowns) was exceptional. She was super knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. We have no regrets having our wedding at Five Crowns! It was the best day of our lives :)

Everything was Perfect!

We booked the upstairs room for our wedding and it was perfect for our small wedding of 25 guests. The service was amazing, the food was so good. We were looking for quality food first which led us to Five Crowns in the first place and it did not disappoint.

Thw whole experience was wonderful and I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for smaller wedding.

Magical, delicious, amazing service, so special!

We held our reception here with 100 people and it was my family's life highlight! The drinks were perfect, the food was delicious and so satisfying and the atmosphere was lovely. The see breeze from Big Corona really makes it. What a special venue! Allison Robbins from events took great care of us.

Perfect Wedding Venue

The Five Crowns is the perfect wedding venue. We held the ceremony and reception outside on the patio. There are no ceremony fees. No venue fees. You don't need a lot of decorations because you simply don't need them...the patio is beautiful on it's own. The food was great. Service top notch. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the venue and loved how intimate everything was. The wedding turned out even better than I imagined. I highly recommend!

12/10 would recommend having a wedding here

We had our wedding here in January and cannot believe our wedding was as successful as it was! This is all thanks to Alison and the events team at Five Crowns. First and foremost, Alison was amazing to work with and was impressingly responsive throughout the planning process and even after the event. She is very knowledgeable, organized, and simply just fun to chat with!

We had a very strict and humble budget for our wedding. We were surprised to hear that we were able to utilize their equipment if we needed to, which we totally did! We used their tables, chairs, linens, china, utensils, candles, etc. We rented the greenhouse, patio, and garden area which was more than enough space for our 50 guest wedding. We had our ceremony in the garden and were able to use their garden chairs, which saved so much money on rentals! At the time of our wedding, they already had white drapes with twinkle lighting at the alter area, which I was planning on renting anyway. So that was amazing that we also saved money on that potential rental. We truly did not need any decorations for our ceremony or dinner as the space is already beautiful by itself. We did; however, make a small hanging wisteria flower arrangement for the trellis and DIY centerpieces for the dinner tables. None of this was needed but since we were able to save so much money on rentals we were able to add these small touches. Everything was set up exactly as discussed and there was absolutely no stress day of.

Our main priority was for our guests to eat and drink well, and boy did Five Crowns deliver! I cannot fathom how any wedding catering can top their food, honestly. To this day, our friends still say we had the best food from any of the weddings that they’ve attended and that there was ample food! They have so many menu options available and are flexible to make any needed alternatives due to dietary restrictions. We ordered 3 tray passed appetizers and the kings/queen menu. With our budget, we were afraid people would leave hungry but that was not the case – so many of our guests were able to take leftovers home. LEFTOVERS, amazing! Now on the drink menu – amazing. Nothing short of amazing. We are not big drinkers ourselves but every drink that we had that day tasted amazing! Typically, I am unable to finish a drink at any bar or restaurant if the taste of alcohol is too apparent/overpowering, but that is not the case for any of their drinks. Their drinks are both yummy and STRONG.

And for their service – 12/10. We would 10000000% recommend having an event here. All staff were so pleasant, diligent, and prompt! Since our budget did not allow for a coordinator, the bulk logistics were between us (bride/groom) and the staff. Everything ran smoothly! Of course we ran in to extremely minor hiccups – 1) During the set up time, I accidentally told the staff the wrong table for our vegan plate when they asked but they were able to locate our vegan guest eventually during dinner [this was specified in our final details, but I guess they wanted to double check?] 2) our guests started to line up for our photobooth vendor during dinner service and the staff were able to continue the planned timeline even if things detoured just a little. This of course was our bad to even overlap dinner and our fun flip book photobooth vendor; and my favorite 3) me being too intoxicated to understand what they were trying to give me was our bill. So thankful for their patience and instead going to my husband to take care of it lol. This is all to say, everything ran perfectly and even the things that did not they were patient, flexible, and delightful and did not maximize any hiccups. We truly could not have asked for a more perfect venue and staff to have our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have been working with Five Crowns now for 6 years and I am always pleased to see such happy brides!. Margo works with the bride and groom from day one to the final day. She gives them her all. The gardens are gorgeous. The Chef is gifted. The buffets are beautiful. I have also had the opportunity to provide flowers for many different parties there. It is a great local intimate hideaway. LOVELY!
