Wonderful Wedding All Around

We had the perfect wedding at Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina. The Harbor Terrace was beautiful for the ceremony and the space inside was just right for our reception. Yanela is very kind, professional and easy to work with. The food was delicious and our guests had a wonderful time!

We loved our wedding! Thank You Sonesta 🥰💗

💗Sonesta Redondo Beach and Marina is an absolutely stunning venue that exceeded all of our expectations for our Valentine's Day wedding. The moment we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the warmest hospitality. Mrs. Cheryl, our wedding coordinator, was simply outstanding. She was not only sweet and professional but also incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our special day was flawless. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect, and her dedication truly made our celebration unforgettable. The venue itself is a picture-perfect setting, with elegant indoor spaces and a beautiful outdoor terrace that provided the perfect backdrop for some of our photos. The Peninsula ballroom was gorgeous, and all of guests raved about how lovely it was.
We moved the ceremony indoors as well, since it was too cold and windy to use the pool deck area.
The catering staff was attentive and accommodating, and the food was delicious. We had sea bass, steak and chicken entrees for our guests to select from. Mrs. Cheryl customized our package, since we didn't want the open bar. We did use one of their preferred vendors, Vox Djs, and it turned out really well. This was the first venue we toured, and after looking at 7 other potential venues, Sonesta really had the most value for the money. We couldn't have asked for a more magical day, and we are so grateful to Sonesta Redondo Beach and Marina for making our wedding dreams come true.
Thank you Mrs. Cheryl, Robin, all the banquet staff, and the valet guys.💗

P.S. We were able to select our own bakery for our cake. Since the folks at Torrance Bakery (the preferred vendor) were not very nice, creative, nor accommodating of what we wanted, which was a jaw-dropping, amazing wedding cake. Don't feel forced to use Torrance Bakery if you are not satisfied with your tasting/design consultation. For a wedding cake, you should not have to settle for less than perfection.

Rooftop Wedding

I am a local wedding planner and would highly recommend Yanela and her entire team for a wedding or any special event. They made the planning process run smoothly by their quick response and flexibility. The entire team was professional each step of the way and worked well with all of the other vendors to ensure we had a successful wedding for the special couple!

Outstanding fantastic wonderful service and experience!

We just had an amazing experience and celebration at the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach for our twin daughters' B'not Mitzvah which we will cherish forever. The service provided was outstanding! Yanela met with us many times and responded to emails and questions and assisted in all ways possible, always so sweet and professional. Everyone we dealt with provided impressive service from the AV staff who stayed during our entire ceremony to ensure everything went smoothly to the wait staff who refilled waters on the tables without asking. We had 150 guests and the dance floor was still huge and the high ceilings made the entire reception feel so regal and special! Thank you so much for helping create a memory and milestone we will never forget!!

Quality service

Yanela Nolazco, the event coordinator at Crowne, is amazing! She was very professional and yet we felt so taken care of by her. The ceremony area at Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach has a beautiful view of the ocean. It was a great place for our sunset photoshoot and the pictures turned out awesome. The food was superb. We chose the NY steak and Salmon. We received lots of compliments from our guests about the food.

Crowne Plaza was the best decisions we made in regard to our wedding. We were able to check off half of the items on our list just by booking our wedding receptions here. They took care of tables, chairs, food, Bridal Suite, and provided us with exceptional service. Yolanda was especially helpful with our wedding. She is a pro and gave us lots of suggestions and ideas. She referred a great DJ and really worked with the dietary restrictions of some of our guests. She is also really fun and kind. I would highly recommend Yolanda and Crowne Plaza!

Great place to put our wedding guests. Lots to do in the area. Rooms are clean and great service. We had our rehearsal dinner and Farewell breakfast here. Catering Director Sheree Deweeze was wonderful as well as bell men and Rick at the front desk.

We loved having both our ceremony and reception here at Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach. The wedding coordinator Sheree helped us immensely and was available, flexible and personable. The entire staff at Crowne Plaza provided us with top-notch customer service and made us and our guests felt welcome from the very beginning. We had our wedding reception in the seascape ballroom and it was beautiful.

Quite honestly working with Sheree DeWeese and her staff at the Crowne Plaza was perfect. She almost made it stress free! She and her staff were honest, helpful, professional, and flawless! We had a great experience, and I would do it again! We had over 375 people attend our Wedding Reception with an invited list of 425. Sheree helped us work through all the details. It was a fantastic wedding! Thank you Crowne Plaza and Sheree!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
