About this venue

The former Newport Beach Marriott debuted as VEA Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort & Spa in Spring of 2022 following an 85 million dollar transformation.

VEA Newport Beach is a beautiful wedding resort venue in Newport Beach, California, managed by the premium Marriott International. The resort fuses a coastal-inspired design with a contemporary touch, offering couples a breathtaking wedding destination complete with unparalleled seaside views. Immerse in a tropical oasis coupled with the city's cosmopolitan energy and enjoy a one-of-a-kind celebration with your nearest and dearest.

Facilities and Capacity

The venue features unmatched views of sprawling greens and golds that fade into the crystal-clear Pacific Ocean. Say "I do" to your beloved at the Sunset Lawn, an intimate oval-shaped event space with breathtaking sunset and golf course views, perfect for romantic weddings up to 450 guests. Afterward, you and your loved ones can retire to the Amalfi Ballroom or Riviera Ballroom to continue the seaside theme. At 8,000 square feet, the Riviera Ballroom is ideal for extravagant affairs, complete with warm carpeted floors, a shiny dancefloor, and soft furnishings. The Riviera Lawn is a unique outdoor space that features tropical flora and warm market lighting perfect for a champagne welcome reception or cocktail hour. This area connects to the indoor/outdoor Marea Canvas, allowing for a seamless flow from one event to the next. The Marea Lawn can host up to 200 friends and family for a delightful soiree before heading to the Marea Terrace and Canvas for an evening celebration. What's more, the venue is only a stone's throw from the Fashion Island shopping center, as well as a short drive from Disneyland, making for an unforgettable wedding weekend.

VEA Newport Beach comprises a team of professionals who strive to deliver picture-perfect wedding celebrations. For a seamless event setup, rental items including chairs, linens, flatware, glassware, and more are included. Well-trained in luxury service, the service staff and bartenders ensure a steady flow of food and drink throughout the night. Specialty cocktails, beers, house wines, and premium liquors are all provided by the resort. Choose from various cuisine serving styles, ranging from stations and hors d'oeuvres to plated meals and buffets. Valet service is available at the convenience of guests. Additionally, the venue is wheelchair accessible to facilitate a safe and comfortable experience for all loved ones coming to the event.

Services Offered

The Event Management Team at VEA Newport Beach will assist Couple's wedding coordinator with organizing the venue-related details of the wedding day.

This venue requires couples hire a resort-approved wedding planner to coordinate the celebration and be on-site at all contracted events.

We booked a group of rooms here for our guests and we (bride & groom) also stayed here on our wedding night and the night before. It was the perfect location for any couple with lots of out of town guests - very close to John Wayne Airport and it's across the street from Fashion Island which means you don't have to drive anywhere!! Our guests loved it here. A big thank you to Sam Curvin for helping us organize the weekend, along with welcome drinks for our guests in the hotel bar's patio on the rehearsal day. It would also make for a stunning wedding venue most definitely!

I checked out various hotels in South Orange County. With a short amount of time that I had for wedding planning, Amber Palmer made my life easy. Out of all the hotels I went to, I got the best service from Marriott in Newport Beach. Amber, the Senior Sales Executive, worked with me very closely with patient to find out all my needs and budget limitation. She met all my requests and made it easy, so I didn’t have to get stressed throughout the process. I highly recommend her and you will enjoy working with such a sweet person.

In addition to Amber, I worked with Flora Nguyen. She helped me with all the details of wedding planning and she made my wedding day very relaxing and enjoyable. She is very kind and she played an important role on the day of wedding. She made our day special and relaxing.

Overall the team in Marriott Newport Beach are super nice and I enjoyed working with every one of them. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to get married.

Tammi and her staff did a fantastic job. If you want a hassle free turn key wedding this is the place.
We searched many hotels before choosing this venue. None of the others offered as good a package. None of the others treated us as well each time we arrived on their property.
They have it down to a science.

Wow! All I can say is WOW! The Marriott and their staff really created a dream come true wedding for me. I was able to trust everything in their hands and they went above and beyond anything I had asked for. Though in the higher price range....WELL WORTH THE MONEY! The venue alone is stunning. We got married in the Sea View Terrace which was amazing. Candice and Julie and the Marrriott staff were on their headset radios all night making sure everything happened on time and smoothly. I have never seen a smoother wedding. Our guest have commented on the same thing. Candice and Julie made our day everything it was. We could not have had this wedding without them! The venue is amazing, the food is fantastic (filet), the ballroom was stunning, they are VERY accomidating, and the staff is beyond what I would have ever expected. No need for an outside coordinator if you book at this venue. They give you more than enough staff! :)

My husband and I got married here in June 2009, and we couldn't be happier with our entire experience, from the moment we discovered the hotel to the day we left for our honeymoon. Everyone was so professional and friendly, and we especially enjoyed working with Candice, our wedding day coordinator who was provided by the hotel. She helped us out so much and made things run so smoothly on the day of that not one thing went wrong all day! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and gave the feeling of a destination wedding even though we live in LA. Our ceremony was at the Sea View Terrace which is in a hidden outdoor part of the hotel. It felt very private which is what we were looking for, and we loved that the cocktail hour was right at our ceremony site. This hotel offered the best package in town, and we felt that we got a lot for our money. We couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding.

The Newport Beach Marriott is not only a beautiful location, but also number one in customer service. They made the wedding planning process so easy, and the wedding day was perfect. The staff made sure my guests were always taken care of. The food was delicious as well. They are so professional and friendly. I highly recommend the Marriott for any reception!

We worked with Marriott of Newport Beach and were very pleased with all the services provided. They exceeded our wants and needs. The food was outstanding and the venue was perfection. The professionalism in their staff is wonderful as well. The rooms were very comfortable. Amber and Alisa were great to work with and easy to contact. In regards to the bar service in the lounge, they really need to work on professionalism and customer service. The bar was absolutely TERRIBLE and not up to Marriott standards. Very slow, and not very accommodating, or friendly.

We absolutely LOVED this place as our venue for our wedding. From incredible customer service to great responsiveness and pleasantly surprising flexibility (when a few things changed from our original discussions, they were very accommodating!). They really, really paid attention to us and made us feel valued as customers every time we contacted them or showed up onsite. The venue itself was perfectly romantic for a wedding (Sea View terrace)--our guests loved staying at the property. The Marriott team was all in all just so wonderful to work with and we recommend the location as a wedding venue without hesitation!
