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.

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.

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.

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.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
