Wedding Venues in California

Marina del Rey Hotel has been a long time favorite spot of ours ever since the remodel and it was a pretty easy venue choice for us after our engagement. The space speaks for itself in how beautiful it is, it's hard to beat! All staff at the hotel were very accommodating to our wants and needs and our wedding day went so wonderfully. It made it so easy to have a pretty much all inclusive venue - catering, chairs, tables, bar needs, linens. The food from SALT is so good!! Our tasting was amazing and the food on the day of didn't disappoint at all. THe bridal suite is soo gorgeous, we wanted to just move in! We had our ceremony on the event lawn, reserved the lounge area with the fire pits for cocktail hour, and had all the ballrooms for reception. It was a great layout. Guests couldn't stop raving about everything! Loved it all!!

Harbor View Loft(Personal Touch Dining) really outdid themselves. What really elevates them against other venues is their catering and service. I feel like most "wedding food" is mediocre at best but the amount of compliments we received from guests about how it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding (especially the Short Rib - must have) was astounding! We had a little leftover and my husband and I had no problem polishing it off. Ashley and Hannah were responsive, organized, and answered all of my questions. Ashley was my day-of-coordinator and she made everything so seamless, I did not have to worry about a thing. If I had to have my wedding all over again, knowing what I know now, I still would chose a Personal Touch Dining venue.

BOOK THEM NOW! We can't express how thankful we are to University Club of Pasadena for hosting our dream wedding. My husband and I toured countless venues and the services University Club provides exceeded them all. 1. You get the venue for the entire day! Other venues we toured had strict times we could enter, some even requiring the bride to arrive completely ready because there wasn't a space for HMU. Cinthia was so flexible and even allowed us to arrive at 6AM to begin getting ready! We had a brunch spread with our family/bridal party there, where Cinthia had the staff assist with setting up and tearing down our brunch tables. 2. The bar package is VERY flexible compared to other venues. We noticed that most of the venues we considered have a per-head cost, expensive since some of our elderly don't drink. UC instead allowed us to set a general bar limit, which afterwards they would convert into a cash bar (we didn't end up reaching our limit, but this was a very cost-effective set-up for us). 3. Joy and Tony were incredible at customizing our drinks! Joy had so many creative suggestions for Asian inspired drinks - they allowed us to have multiple taste testings and we landed on a lychee mojito and strawberry soju in a martini glass. We had SO many guests rave about our signature drinks, asking us for the recipes! 4. They went above and beyond for desserts!!!! We were so disappointed when other venues either don't allow outside vendors or have a fee - we're not cake people so we wanted to bring in Fosselman's ice cream instead. Cinthia and Chef Tony not only allowed us to bring in outside ice cream, but even told us that UC regularly serves Fosselman's for the club members so they could provide the ice cream for us instead of us bringing it! We originally wanted an ice cream bar, but they informed us they could only scoop the ice cream from the kitchen and have the waiters pass them around on trays because of their freezer location. However, the week of our wedding, Cinthia called us and said they've figured out a way to create our ice cream bar! It meant so much to us that UC was still trying to figure out a way to have our dream dessert station even though my husband and I were fine with tray-passed ice cream - and SO many guests complimented us for the ice cream station! 5. Cinthia and Chef Tony are very willing to work with you to make sure the entrees are exactly the way you want it! We initially weren't incredibly happy with the salmon during out taste testing, so they had us come in again to try the chicken with another free taste test (this is a huge deal - other venues often charge for taste tests)! They even allowed us to sub mashed potatoes for scalloped potatoes etc. I'll be honest - we thought the food at our taste testing was okay, pretty decent wedding food. BUT the food the night of our wedding was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! We had so many guests (some of our guests are even wedding coordinators) compliment us for the food! Multiple parents also said this wedding had the best kid meals they've ever seen with delicious chicken tenders and fries - I had a dad even ask if he could also have a kids meal! Other details that makes UC stand out... - Parking ON SITE with a private lot! - You have the entire building to yourself! - Indoors in case of rain! - I noticed some wedding websites giving UC three dollar signs, but this venue is actually VERY accommodating to your budget with fair prices - 10/10 STAFF. Cinthia, Tony (bar), Tony (chef), and Joy are absolutely amazing to work with!

We are so lucky to have found Angelica’s. My husband (Andrew) and I (Odethe) had such a great tour of the space that we had to say YES! I cannot express how much the team brought our vision to life, it was such a beautiful venue and they were so helpful in making sure the day went smoothly. We decided to have florals by Angelica’s and we were so happy with the results. (THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL). Communication was always welcomed and on the day of Crystal was so supportive as the nerves caught up with the bride! The team was really on top of making sure everyone was enjoying their meals and always asked if anything else was needed. I would definitely recommend any event to be held at Angelica’s especially weddings!! We hope to have another event in the future!

My wife and I got married at Rimrock ranch June 2026 and it truly was a magical experience! From the Property to the owners, Gwen and Eric, to the amazing accommodations! We could not have dreamed of a better wedding! We relive our wedding weekend everyday in our heads and 1 million percent recommend anyone who loves the beautiful Joshua Tree area to have your special day at Rimrock Ranch! Thank you so much to Gwen and Eric

We got married at the Pasea Hotel & Spa and it was incredible! The venue was stunning and with most of our guests staying at the hotel, it felt like we were on vacation with everyone. The facilities are gorgeous and the staff was amazing, particularly Victoria Mayin, She took such good care of us, while making sure we felt special throughout the entire experience. I swear I'm still glowing from our dream wedding. I would 100% recommend the Pasea Hotel & Spa for weddings!

We got married at Mountain Terrace in Woodside in June 2026 with about 100 guests, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. The redwoods are breathtaking and made every moment of the day feel magical. We also loved the Terrace Suite, the cozy on-site cottage where we got ready. Our guests are still talking about the food. Many told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Every dish was a hit, from the Dungeness crab cakes and lobster rolls to the braised short ribs, and the portions were generous. Just weeks before the wedding, I had several contact allergies confirmed. Anastasia passed every detail to Chefs Benny and Nadal, who went through the menu dish by dish and customized both of our plates so we could share food without worry. They also accommodated guests with other dietary needs. Anastasia was incredible from our first email in January 2025 all the way to our wedding day. We're very detail-oriented planners, and we sent her well over a hundred emails with every question you can imagine, from power requirements for our churro cart to keeping name cards from blowing away in the wind. She answered every single one patiently and thoroughly, and kept our floor plan and timeline updated through every change. She was always upfront about costs and options. For example, she explained which heaters actually put out the most heat, which helped us make smart choices for our budget. On the day, she quietly worked in the background while keeping everything on schedule. Several guests commented on how on top of everything she was. She set up all our decoration boxes with ease and adjusted on the fly when it got too cold outside for our guests. When our cake had a mishap on the winding drive up, she stepped in calmly and helped save it. One tip for future couples: a few tables were served the wrong entrées. We used color-coded dots inside fold-over place cards, which were easy for servers to miss. The team took full responsibility and made it right. Looking back, we'd recommend the venue's printed entrée icons, which servers can spot at a glance. Thanks to Anastasia and the Mountain Terrace team, we were able to relax and enjoy our day. We highly recommend Mountain Terrace to any couple looking for a stunning venue, amazing food, and a team that truly has your back!

Words cannot describe how appreciative we are of how fantastic Krystal and the Westridge team were throughout the entire planning process and the weekend of our wedding at Westridge! We are so happy and fortunate to have selected Krystal and Westridge Golf Club as our coordinator and venue for our wedding. Krystal did a phenomenal job at making sure that we were fully prepared to put on such a large event. On top of that she smiled through it all! We have never planned 3 events with 400 guests and without her help and guidance it would have been a disaster. To be honest we have no idea how things went on Westridge's end, but from our end everything was PERFECT! We have zero complaints. From communicating with vendors to sticking to the timeline for each event, Krystal made it all happen. We are extremely happy with how beautifully all of our events went. This was only possible because of the time, effort, and dedication from Krystal and the Westridge staff. Krystal allowed us to be stress free throughout all our events. Krystal never once approached us during the events and we never had to approach her. I really cannot describe how grateful we are. We recommend Westridge as a phenomenal venue and most importantly Krystal as a coordinator to all our friends and family.

My husband and I got married at Green Gables a little over a month ago, and we're still basking in the joy and magic of our special day! We can't recommend Marisa and the Green Gables team enough - they truly made our wedding dreams come true. From the moment we started planning, Marisa was with us every step of the way, offering expert guidance, creative ideas, and unwavering support. Her attention to detail, passion for her work, and ability to anticipate and handle any issues that arose were truly impressive. Green Gables proved to be the perfect venue for our celebration - the lush surroundings, charming decor, and warm ambiance created a welcoming atmosphere that our guests absolutely loved. And the food? Exceptional! Our guests are still raving about the delicious cuisine. What struck us most was Marisa's ability to bring our unique vision to life, while also ensuring that every moment was relaxed, enjoyable, and stress-free. Her calm and reassuring presence kept us focused on what mattered most - celebrating our love and commitment to each other. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will exceed your expectations and a venue that will leave you and your guests in awe, look no further than Marisa and Green Gables. We're so grateful to have had them by our side on our special day!

We had our wedding at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria earlier this summer and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely helpful and made sure everything was set up just as we needed. Everything ran incredibly smoothly and there were many who helped to make it happen! Silvia did a great job with the organization and planning. Thank you to all who helped make it a beautiful day - we highly recommend them as a venue for your event!
