Wedding April 2024

We just got married in Laguna Beach April 2024. We had our wedding celebrations at Hotel Laguna. We started looking for venues a year ago and had toured 3 other venues. The moment we stepped into Hotel Laguna we just knew this was where we wanted to get married! It was the only venue in Laguna Beach that would host a ceremony on the beach and host our reception outside in a beautiful rose garden. This hotel has so much character, beautiful views, the most amazing staff and delicious foods and drinks. I could go on and on about everything we loved about this venue but what really did it for us was the day of. We had the best service I’ve ever had! We hosted our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at Hotel Laguna and it surpassed all of our dreams. It was the most perfect and special day for us. If we could redo our wedding weekend all over again, we would do it here again. My wedding day was so stress free, beautiful, and full of so much love and care. We are so so thankful for all those who serviced our wedding and made it so spectacular. All our guest were also so impressed with this hotel and the service. I would absolutely recommend. The only thing that would have made it all easier would have been if they had their rooms available but there are so many great hotels nearby that it still worked out. Amazing place, food, drinks and views!!!

I am so happy that we chose Hotel Laguna for our wedding venue. Everything about the experience from my initial reaching out to the follow up after the wedding was top notch. Nicole and Jessica are absolutely amazing and I know that that they cared what my vision was for the wedding. I didn't feel like I was just a client to them, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. Everyone on property was accommodating and delightful. My guests had nothing but great things to say, especially about the food, which the hotel worked with us on to be exactly what we wanted (taco buffet). The venue is beautiful (barefoot on the beach and reception overlooking the water) and their team decorated the room in respect to my vision perfectly. Our wedding day is now my favorite day of my life so far. If you want a beach wedding and people who work their butts off your you, this is the place. I felt like we mattered and were completely taken care of through the entire process.

The location can not be beat. Ceremony on the sand and reception in the Laguna Room with a private balcony. Nicole, our Wedding Coordinator was so helpful and professional throughout the entire planning process. On the day-of she and her crew took care of every single detail to provide us the wedding of our dreams.

We could not be happier with Hotel Laguna. They would respond to our emails at 2:00 in the morning and were always ready to help with anything we might need. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at the hotel. Also, our guests stayed there for a few nights as well. The service was amazing and the price was not bad. We worked with Jessica primarily, and she made sure that everything went smoothly. Book your wedding at Hotel Laguna!

We chose Hotel Laguna as our wedding venue for our July 2016 wedding. I had always dreamed of a beach wedding and our day ended up being better than I could have imagined. We worked with Nicole Cipolla as our event coordinator, who I absolutely loved. She made the planning so easy and helped me make decisions on the little details, gave me cute ideas for the ceremony and suggestions to make things easier and to reduce costs. She was willing to work around my schedule for planning meetings leading up to the wedding, was very responsive and made me feel at ease through the whole stressful process. Working with her truly felt like I was planning our wedding with a close friend. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us to make sure it was my dream wedding. On the day of, she and Jessica Wellnitz took care of all of the day of coordination with vendors, schedule and last minute details so that I did not have to stress at all. The day went seamlessly and stress free thanks to the great staff that took care of us.

I looked for many venues to have a beach wedding and reception in one location and Hotel Laguna was by far the best option on top of it being the most affordable and could accommodate the most guests. The hotel location was perfect and was a central location for my guests, many of which stayed in vacation rental houses in Laguna. Many guests also stayed at Hotel Laguna and really liked the unique, historic feel of the hotel and the convenience of the location, beach access and great restaurant.

I highly recommend Hotel Laguna if you’re looking for a beach wedding in So Cal. I couldn’t be more happy with our experience at Hotel Laguna! It was truly my dream wedding!

We are so happy that we selected Hotel Laguna for our daughter's wedding. They bent over backwards to make everything go just right. Jessica was our wedding coordinator and she is extremely professional and totally on top of things. She always responded quickly and got answers or made arrangements in a very timely manor. We never needed a wedding coordinator because we had the ceremony on the sand and the reception in the Laguna Room downstairs and Jessica took care of all of our needs. Everything went as planned and we are very pleased. The food was delicious. We had the hanger steak with mashed potatoes. The servers worked extra hard and the management was just great.

We just had our wedding at Hotel Laguna and it was wonderful! Jessica Wellnitz coordinated it with us and she was truly a pleasure to work with -- organized, responsive and full of great ideas. She made planning easy and went above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect. We did our ceremony on the sand and our guests all loved it. The hotel was very accommodating and all the staff were great. The food was delicious also! Everything went off without a hitch and we were able to enjoy our own wedding to the max. It was perfect! I highly recommend doing your wedding here!

I am writing this review just days after my wedding because I cannot wait to share my amazing experience! I worked with Jessica Wellnitz for an entire year leading up to our wedding and not only was she responsive and helpful, she was the easiest person to work with! Jessica made you feel like you were the only bride she was corresponding with because she gave you the attention you needed and answered all your questions in quick manner. I cannot express my sincerest thanks to Jessica and her team throughout the planning phase. (I also cannot recall how many e-mails I sent to Jessica throughout the year with a list of questions in each e-mail)!

I would also like to take this time to recognize Christy Johnson and her team for an incredible job well done on the day of the wedding as well as the two weeks leading up to it! Christy is such a friendly and easy person to work with as well! She was quick to respond to e-mails and voicemails and understood the importance of having all the details in place for the big day. Christy and Jessica also offered to help set up the table numbers and favors (as I did not have a day-of coordinator on site).

Overall, my husband and I felt that we had the most perfect wedding we could ever ask for! Jessica, Christy and the Hotel Laguna staff played an integral role in the success of the wedding as well as ensuring our guests had an amazing experience. We are grateful to them and look forward to visiting Hotel Laguna for future celebrations!

If you are contemplating having a wedding in Laguna Beach - Hotel Laguna is the perfect place with a gorgeous view, delicious food and over the top service!
