About this venue

Nestled in the heart of San Clemente's charming Spanish Village, the Miramar Theater stands as an architectural treasure where eight decades of history come alive for your wedding celebration. This meticulously preserved 1938 Spanish Colonial Revival landmark offers couples a rare opportunity to exchange vows in a space that seamlessly blends old Hollywood elegance with Southern California's laid-back coastal charm. From the moment guests arrive beneath the iconic 44-foot tower that has served as a beloved community beacon since the golden age of cinema, they'll step into a world where exposed beam ceilings, wrought iron chandeliers, and authentic period details create an atmosphere of timeless romance.

Ceremony Spaces: Intimate Elegance Indoors and Out

Miramar Theater offers couples the rare versatility of choosing between two distinctly beautiful ceremony settings. For those drawn to the romance of open-air celebrations, the intimate outdoor patio provides a secluded California sanctuary where sunshine filters through, and your closest loved ones gather in a charming, private setting. Inside the Grand Theater, soaring ceilings anchored by dramatic exposed wooden beams frame your ceremony with theatrical grandeur, while the elegant stage—still graced by rich blue velvet curtains—serves as a stunning backdrop for your vows. Magnificent antique chandeliers cast a warm, romantic glow as you walk down the aisle across beautiful dark hardwood floors, surrounded by the authentic Spanish Colonial details that make this space truly unforgettable.

Reception: A Grand Theater for Your Love Story

The Grand Theater transforms seamlessly into a spectacular reception venue that honors both its storied past and your unique vision. The same soaring ceilings and exposed beams that once captivated movie audiences now frame your celebration, while arched doorways and niches add architectural interest to every corner. The rich, dark hardwood floors provide an elegant foundation for your reception design, whether you envision romantic candlelit tables or a more vibrant celebration. The theatrical stage becomes a natural focal point for toasts, first dances, and special moments, while those stunning antique chandeliers create an ambiance that's both dramatic and warmly inviting. The space's Spanish Colonial Revival details—from the textured walls to the period fixtures—ensure that every photograph captures the venue's authentic historic character.

Thoughtful Amenities and Expert Service

Beyond the celebration spaces, the Miramar Theater offers beautifully appointed areas for private moments on your wedding day. The preparation suite offers a sophisticated sanctuary with its elegant coral and taupe palette, comfortable seating areas perfect for getting ready with your wedding party, and refined touches that photograph beautifully. The venue's team understands that exceptional weddings require both stunning spaces and seamless coordination, ensuring that every detail of your celebration unfolds flawlessly while you focus on the joy of the day.

Your San Clemente Celebration Awaits

At the Miramar Theater, history and happiness dance together beneath timeless beams and under the California sky. This is where the romance of old Hollywood meets the natural beauty of coastal living, where architectural grandeur provides the backdrop for intimate moments, and where your love story becomes part of a legacy that spans generations. Located in the heart of San Clemente at 1700 N El Camino Real, your unforgettable wedding celebration awaits in a venue that offers something increasingly rare: a true sense of place, connection to story, and an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated.

Best Experience & Best Coordinator!

Sammy was absolutely incredible as our wedding coordinator! From the very beginning, she was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Sammy’s thoroughness and organization made the entire process feel so much easier.
She was incredibly attentive to details and always made sure everything was clearly planned and communicated. As a bride, she gave me so much peace of mind knowing that everything would run smoothly on our wedding day. Her calm and professional presence made a huge difference throughout the planning process and on the day itself.
Honestly, Sammy was a MAJOR reason we chose our venue in the first place. After meeting her, we felt confident that we were in the best hands possible—and she absolutely delivered! I can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect!

Dream Walk through

After seeing every venue in southern California and not having the best experience my Fiancé and I decided to check out one of Wedgewood Weddings newest venue the Miramar Theatre. Wedgewood weddings website was so easy to navigate and their customer support was top tier.

We met with Madison our wedding consultant and she was absolutely amazing. Wedding planning has been difficult and it was so nice to finally feel taken care of. She reassured us that everything was customizable and up to us and pretty much anything goes in making our dream wedding come true. Madison walked us through the venue with intimate knowledge of the site and history which was an added bonus.

This site is a must visit if you are looking for a unique venue with character next to the beautiful California coast of San Clemente. Wedgewoods excellent all inclusive package prices and the vintage feel of the Miramar theatre make having our wedding here hard to resist.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
