Hotel Wedding Venues in California

I had the honor of being part of a wedding at the Scotia Lodge and it was such an incredible experience. The venue is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by towering redwoods that create the most perfect and peaceful setting for a wedding. The inside was just as impressive — the craftsmanship and detail throughout the lodge were stunning and gave everything such a warm, elegant feel. The staff was amazing to work with and so helpful throughout the entire day. They made everything run smoothly and were always kind, organized, and attentive to everyone involved in the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Scotia Lodge to anyone looking for a truly beautiful wedding venue. It made the day feel so special and memorable.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avenue of the Arts and their team. The venue was beautiful and elegant. The venue offers a gorgeous lakeside area for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour, and the grand ballroom for the dinner reception. So many of our friends later told us how much they loved the venue. It was also very convenient for our out of town guests, who stayed at the hotel for the weekend (everyone had great things to say about their stay). We loved working with AoA's coordinator Monica, who is very professional, responsive, sweet and just so amazing to work with. She was there for us from day one! We cannot ask for a better experience. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

Melissa is SO easy to work with and We love her personality! Pala Mesa is such a wonderful venue and our guest was in awe of how beautiful the venue was! They were obsessed with the ceremony site! Would 10/10 recommend this venue!!!!

Sara is great and easy to work with. My family has used this venue for many various events and they are always very accommodating. There is a total of three small ballrooms that can open up into one big ballroom. The big ballroom can comfortably seat 400+ people, and I believe the venue requires at least 300+ people in order to book all three rooms. This venue is perfect for big weddings!

Saraya made our experience the best. We knew right away this was the venue for us. Saraya made us feel so welcomed. I love her personality. It's warm, calm and very sweet. I could visualize our wedding right off the bat with the way she exclaimed the amazing options we could do. Saraya responds very quickly with detailed information. Saraya broke down the prices for us explained in detail what it all meant so there was no confusion. I highly recommend The Handlery Hotel and work with Saraya. Thank you so much Saraya for helping us decide where our wedding is going to be. You are a major part of that decision.

My husband and I just got married at Surf a few weeks ago and I can’t even begin to express how perfect the event was. From Alana being the most perfect and detail oriented coordinator, to Emily being amazing for the room block, I couldn’t have dreamt for a more perfect day. The out of town guests (and even in town guests) were floored by how amazing it was and I highly highly recommend this event space for your big day!!!

We can’t say enough amazing things about our experience at Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa—it was truly the perfect venue for our wedding! Shoutout to Laurie, Darrel, Alexis, Jamie, and the rest of the incredible staff! From the moment we started planning, the team made us feel so supported and welcomed. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warmth made the entire process smooth and exciting. Everyone we worked with made us feel the magic of this beautiful place, and it showed in every part of our celebration. The resort itself is stunning, and our guests are still talking about the views, the cozy mountain atmosphere, and how unforgettable the entire experience was. On the wedding day, the staff was beyond accommodating—ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we had nothing to worry about. We feel so lucky to have worked with such an amazing team. If you're looking for a venue that is not only breathtaking but also backed by a truly caring and experienced staff, we highly recommend Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more!

If you’re considering having your wedding at Wine & Roses, look no further! After looking at many venues in-person/online, we immediately knew W&R was right for us after seeing the beautiful grounds and meeting the sales manager, Charina. She made us feel right at home and made booking our wedding easy. After signing our contract, we met with our assigned wedding coordinator, Eloisa. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Eloisa and what an incredible wedding coordinator she is. From the moment we met her, she listened and gave advice to tailor the venue’s services to exactly what we wanted our wedding ceremony/reception to look and feel like. She is so on-top of her planning game and executed our wedding to a “t”. Eloisa worked fabulously with me, my husband, difficult family members, many vendors, and the in-house W&R team. Everything on our wedding day and leading up to it was simply effortless. All staff members that we interacted with during our ceremony/reception/cafe/hotel were so professional and accommodating. Wine & Roses went above and beyond for us, reflecting that you get what you pay for. Having our wedding there wasn’t cheap, but it was really worth every penny. Thank you Charina, Eloisa, and the entire team for giving us a wedding that our friends and family will talk about for decades down the road. THANK YOU! (Photos by Ashlyn Coleal)

We had my daughter's wedding at Lake Natoma Inn 8/14/26. We have nothing but wonderful things to say! We had a short time to plan the wedding, but once we found the venue everything fell into place. The outdoor garden is stunning! We were able to have the reception in the Grand Pavilion which is so beautiful. Cait was so helpful and answered all of my questions and concerns. The honeymoon suite was spacious and had a view of the garden so we could see the guests arrive. The food was delicious! Everyone raved about the Cajun Chicken! I love that we were able to bring in our own dessert as my daughter wanted a dessert table. Everyone raved about the Cajun Chicken!

This review concerns the Westlake Village Inn used as a Wedding Venue. We (BELLA VITA EVENTS - EVENT COORDINATORS) got the chance to work here for a few Weddings. This Venue -and its whole block- is full of elegance and European charm. Nestled amidst manicured gardens, a great pond/lake, and scenic landscapes, the setting provides a romantic backdrop for a perfect celebration. The attentive and professional staff at the Venue goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is flawlessly executed, making the whole process enjoyable. From the idyllic ceremony locations to the exquisite reception spaces, the venue offers a versatile canvas for couples to create their dream wedding. The Westlake Village Inn stands out as a quintessential choice for those seeking a sophisticated and enchanting setting to say "I do." We highly recommend! - BELLA VITA EVENTS BY DEBORAH JAMES.
