About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Santa Monica Proper Hotel is a luxury-lifestyle wedding venue located in the heart of Santa Monica, California. This hotel has a distinct focus on iconic design, holistic wellness, truly local food and beverage, and authentic community engagement. The hotel is purposefully positioned in heart of the city. This grants each and every guest access to everything within Santa Monica, while also providing solace from the chaos of the touristy areas.

Facilities and Capacity

This venue features 16,000 square feet of dynamic indoor and outdoor space, purposely built with fiber optic technology and advanced AV functions. This simultaneously captures the feel of Santa Monica’s abundant sunlight and ocean breezes, providing a dreamlike backdrop for your event. Signature stylistic details include organic tones and textures juxtaposed against raw materials to create a calm sea-inspired palate, complementary to the ongoing wave motif throughout the property. Spaces are built without columns and sight impediments, maximizing the 16-foot ceilings and neutral colors, thereby allowing you to actualize your vision in conjunction with your design team.

Services Offered

Santa Monica Proper comes equipped with a multitude of amenities that are concurrently local as well as globally renowned. Specifically, due to the hotel's wellness focus, guests need not leave the property for pre-wedding activities such as facials, massages, yoga, or even ayurvedic treatments. With an emphasis on Eastern-inspired wellness, the hotel’s Surya Spa offers custom-designed Ayurvedic programs supporting physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Cuisine

The hotel beckons guests to indulge with its restaurant and bar destinations. Calabra, the venue's signature restaurant, offers guests a chance to enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine while perched atop the roof, surrounded by 360-degree views of Santa Monica and Los Angeles. Palma, the lobby lounge, serves beautiful small bites and caters to a thriving nighttime scene. All of the food and beverages are overseen by Executive Chef Luis Gonzalez and are available to be served at your special event.

Accommodation

Each and every level of accommodation is exquisitely designed, providing a detailed and residential home-away-from-home feel for your guests to abide in while they celebrate. The attention to detail translates through every aspect, delivering exceptional rooms and suites, perfect for pre- and post-nuptials. Details include custom Kelly Wearstler x Parachute bathrobes, Italian bed linens, and Aesop amenities.

Voted the best wedding venue in LA for good reason

The Proper Hotel in Santa Monica was the perfect venue for our wedding! The property itself was beautiful and impeccably designed, and the team led by David Houde made the whole process seamless -- from the flow of the event, to the incredible service, to the delicious food. We had so many compliments from wedding guests about how special the venue was and how good the food & drinks tasted -- we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! And to top it all off, the interior design made our pictures look and feel like they were out of a magazine!
