Most personalized turn key venue made my life easy with our own flare

My husband and I had our wedding here and it was an absolute DREAM.

From the very beginning, every person we worked with and all their associated vendors were very kind, helpful, responsive and professional.

Dayna was our wedding producer and was the biggest help from the day we signed the paper. She made sure we checked all the boxes, even things outside of the venues direct responsibly, just to make it as easy on us as possible. We had multiple check ins and she was always open to answer questions via text or phone when we had them. She gave us tons of photo recommendation, took pictures throughout our rehearsal and wedding, and made sure we all were where we needed to be.

Andrew with the Cliff restaurant was easy to communicate with and was very nice when we came in for our tasting. We tried a large variety of foods that were hard to pick from because they were all so good! We had great reviews of the food after the wedding and they were great about minding all allergens and dietary restrictions. The crab cakes, goat cheese crostinis and chicken curry skewers were all amazing hors d'oeuvres. The veggies and salad fresh and flavorful and of course our chicken and salmon were really really delicious.

They take care of all set up of table, chairs, decorations, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour and everything in between. They gave us tons of freedom to do our wedding the way we wanted and it felt so seamless, I never had to stop and make a decision or handle any problems the whole night. Whether there were any snags, I have no idea, that's how great a job everyone did. All the staff were great!

100% recommend.

Forever grateful for this amazing venue

Three months ago, we got married at Occasions at Laguna Village, and our wedding was truly the most magical, perfect day we could have ever asked for. There wasn't a single hiccup, and it is a day we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives.

Danya is absolutely incredible and guides you through every step of the wedding planning process. She is patient, kind, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life. She made me feel heard every step of the way and helped turn my dreams into reality.

The venue itself is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and located in a stunning setting. The staff at Occasions went above and beyond to make both my husband and me feel like royalty. If I needed anything at all, a staff member was already there and ready to help before I even had to ask.

One of the things we appreciated most about Occasions was their flexibility. Unlike many venues, they allowed us to choose most of our own vendors and were very accommodating when it came to the decor and personal touches we wanted to incorporate. We even wanted to do a T-shirt toss during our reception, and they fully embraced the idea!

The vendors they do require you to use—the bar, catering, DJ, and bakery—were all outstanding. Every single one exceeded our expectations and truly represented the best of the best. Having those vendors already selected by the venue took away so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning.

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more, and it would not have been the same without Occasions at Laguna Village, Danya, and their amazing staff. We will look back on that day for the rest of our lives with so much gratitude, and we will always be thankful that we chose this venue. We cannot recommend Occasions enough.

The perfect place to get married

Our wedding at Occasions earlier this month was everything we could have asked for. Dayna, our wedding producer, was excellent. She thought of absolutely everything, made sure we stayed organized (including keeping detailed notes and decor lists), and adjusted things along the timeline and setting based on exactly what we wanted. We only needed a couple of calls with her and some texts back and forth throughout the planning process for everything to come together. Dayna also gave us many recommendations when we asked for other vendors and locations (after party, hotels, luxury restrooms). On the day of, Dayna was organized, communicative (but never interrupted the natural cadence of the day), and kind. She is an absolute pro, and we were in the best hands with her. Andrew, the catering manager at The Cliff, ensured we had an incredible meal that tasted as delicious as the tasting - a hard feat when feeding over 140 people. He was so generous with his time and flexibility, even as we changed our menu and plan multiple times. Family and friends raved about their meals and were impressed with every bite. The rentals, florals, entertainment, and bakery all included was perfect; it made for less work on the front end, and everything was stunning, engaging, and delicious. We have only gotten the highest compliments on our guests on the level of service, the vibe (obviously the setting!), and the timeline of the whole day. We highly recommend the Occasions for any engaged couple looking for a venue with zero reservations. Thank you to the whole Occasions team for making our wedding day so spectacular!

Forever recommending this venue!

Booking our wedding with Occasions at Laguna Village was the easiest and best decision we could’ve made! Planning a destination wedding was so seamless because of the all inclusive nature of the venue but also because of their amazing wedding producer Dayna!

We had several helpful planning calls with Dayna and she was always so kind and helpful. She gave amazing directions and advice during planning and truly listened to our ideas and vision. On the day of, she and her team executed everything perfectly. I wasn’t stressed or worried on the day of because of her!

Working with the provided vendors was a great experience. It was such a stress relief to know they could be trusted and worked at this venue before. We selected Flower Jubilee as our florist and Jean did an amazing job! Her arrangements and execution of our vision was spot on.

Rossmoor pastries provided our delicious and beautiful cake and they worked with Dayna for the delivery and setup.

Epic 1 DJ kept the party going and everyone got on the dance floor throughout the night. He also did a great job at executing the timeline and kept things running smoothly.

Lastly, the catering by the Cliff restaurant was phenomenal. Andrew was so great to work with and really accommodating. During our tasting it was hard to select the meal because everything was so delicious.

All of our guests raved about how beautiful and fun the wedding was and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Most amazing venue ever!

My husband and I had our wedding here at Occasions and it was everything we had dreamed of! Every single person that helped us from the first walkthrough to the reception it was all absolutely wonderful and easy. Dayna was unbelievable with always being available for questions and she made everything so seamless. Andrew with F&B was amazing and so helpful, made the tasting so much fun and catered to our preferences. The staff on the wedding day from the bartender, DJ and servers were all so friendly and professional. The views at the venue are the most beautiful views as a background for the wedding. Everyone was in awe of the views the whole day.

Such a perfect wedding venue!

We had our wedding at Occasions at Laguna Village, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning, with breathtaking ocean views that made for the most beautiful backdrop to our day. From the planning process to the wedding itself, everything went so smoothly and a huge part of that was thanks to Dayna. She was such a pleasure to work with-organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was just right. I felt completely at ease knowing she had everything under control. Our day was even more magical than we imagined, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Occasions!

Dream wedding

If you love the beach, Occasions at Laguna village is the perfect venue for you! Besides the gorgeous view - the people that work at Occasions truly made our dream wedding a reality. Cori showed us around the venue and was very knowledgeable when we asked questions. Dayna, the venue coordinator, is absolutely amazing and helps you not only just on the day of but also through every step of the planning process from the time of booking! The included vendors were also fantastic - Andrew with The Cliff, Shealyn with Fantasy Floral Designs, Rossmoor Pastries, Todd our DJ from Epic1 Entertainment were all so kind and, alongside some amazing outside vendors, helped make the day memorable!! Cannot recommend Occasions enough!

Wedding day at Occasions at Laguna Village

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at Laguna Village, and we can’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Dayna was an absolute superstar throughout the entire wedding preparation process. Her calm, detailed, and organized approach ensured that every little detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day. On the wedding day, Dayna was a true professional, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. I can’t say enough good things about her and her ability to help create such a magical day!

The food and bar service were nothing short of spectacular. A special shout-out goes to Andrew at The Cliff restaurant, who was fantastic during our food tasting and on the big day. He made sure the service was impeccable and that everything ran smoothly. His professionalism and kindness really stood out.

Our DJ, Gus, had the entire crowd dancing all night long, creating an incredible atmosphere for everyone to have an amazing time.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Laguna Village, and The Cliff for anyone looking to have the perfect wedding day!

Excellent!

My husband and I just got married here and we could not have been happier with it. Almost everything is included in this venue (food, bar, florist, cake, DJ, etc.) which makes the wedding planning process so much easier. The location itself is stunning and we got the most amazing sunset during our ceremony.

Dayna is the wedding planner that works at Occasions - she was so on top of things and detail oriented which is exactly what you want from a wedding planner. She made sure all details were figured out before so the day of the wedding my husband and I could just relax and enjoy the day.

I would definitely recommend this venue to any people looking to host events, especially weddings.

For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael and I Officiate at all locations in Orange County. And one of my top five favorite locations to Officiate at is Ocassions at Laguna Village. Dayna and her staff are, without a doubt, the best, the most flexible, the most organized and the nicest coordinators to work with. I receive so many rave reviews from my couples not only regarding the way they handle the Ceremony but the reception. I would be remiss in not telling you to at least call Ocassions at Laguna Village and investigate their venue. I also must add that DJ Dave, their staff disk jockey, is one of, if not, the best in Orange County.
