About

Weddings at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club are celebrations beyond expectation. Every detail is attended to with care; every moment is a cherished memory in the making. Choose from romantic indoor and outdoor venues, each offering breathtaking views and elegant details that reflect our coastal setting.

Fresh-cut flowers, tables covered in white linen, and sparkling chandeliers set the scene for grand affairs in our awe-inspiring Pacific Ballroom. Toast to this momentous occasion with a cocktail reception in the Pacific Promenade—a “Hall of Mirrors”-inspired space that is also a perfect backdrop for wedding photography—or step out onto the Juliette balcony to hear the crashing ocean waves. Outside, discover beautiful backdrops dotted around the resort, including our lush Botanical Garden; our bright and airy Grand Lawn; or our secluded, semi-intimate Pacific Lawn.

Both indoors and out, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club is an effortlessly romantic setting for the celebration of a lifetime.

We worked with Kelly O'Dell during our wedding planning and she was fabulous! She was wonderful to work with in person, over the phone, and through email, and certainly went above and beyond as our onsite contact! We booked the Botanical Garden for our wedding ceremony, and she was always quick to confirm anything that was asked or find an answer if we had questions. The day before the wedding, she had welcome fruits and cheeses brought to the room with a hand signed note. On our wedding day/night, they left chocolates, desserts, and a bottle of champagne, as well as a very special and completely unexpected surprise on our bed! It is the little things like these that make great experiences extraordinary. I highly recommend working with the St. Regis Monarch Beach! The staff, resort, food, views and atmosphere are all unlike anywhere else! We can’t wait to plan our next trip back!

We had our dream wedding reception at The St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! The resort is absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking and it was THE PERFECT location to host our reception on a beautiful summer day. The resort grounds is stunning with breathtaking ocean views.

We were so fortunate enough to have our dream wedding at The St. Regis. The catering managers that we worked with, to the executive chef, to the bellman were EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with that I have nothing bad to say. You definitely get the best service you could ask for and I couldn't be happier! On the day of our wedding, i was SO impressed with the service and how they really cater to your needs and do their absolute best to please you. We got to meet our banquet captain and even our catering director, along with the entire staff that evening, were present in our ballroom when I got to take a sneak peek of the ballroom.

Overall, we had our dream wedding and St. Regis was THE place to host our event! Highly recommend this venue to anyone searching for a beautiful beach resort in South OC!!! you won't be disappointed!!!

I would put this venue up against nearly any venue in the country. Their service, professionalism, beauty, food, and entire grounds are the best in the world. I have been to a significant number of excellent hotels/resorts and this place is at the top of my list. They also were extremely easy to work with from a wedding preparation standpoint. Marissa was our point of contact at the St Regis and she was nothing but professional, courteous, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They provided excellent service to us and our guests from check in to check out. The rooms were perfect. Our guests constantly raved about the location and the events. You have many options for great wedding venues in Orange County but this is one place I can guarantee will outperform your expectations. I recommend this venue without reservation.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
