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!!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of working at Magari Estate several times, and it’s truly one of my favorite venues in Northern California. Every single time I photograph here, I’m reminded why it stands out above the rest. The property is a dream to shoot, with rolling golden hills, gorgeous landscapes, and that signature California light filtering through the oak trees. Every corner of the estate feels intentionally designed for the guest experience. From the beautiful ceremony area nestled beneath the oaks to the open-air reception space, charming barn, and the unique circular bar that always becomes a guest favorite, there are endless backdrops that make each wedding feel unique. Beyond the scenery, what truly sets Magari Estate apart is the venue team. They are some of the kindest, most organized, and genuinely supportive people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. They go above and beyond to ensure their couples and vendors feel cared for from start to finish. Communication is always smooth, timelines are thoughtfully managed, and there’s such a calm, welcoming energy that flows through every event. If you’re a couple searching for a breathtaking Northern California venue or a vendor hoping to work alongside wonderful people in a truly photogenic location, Magari Estate is an absolute gem. Five stars all the way.

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 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!

As a Wedding Videographer referrals are my preferred way to connect with future clients. Whether by photographer, planner or venue - It is the highest compliment! Whenever I see a referral from The Mountain Terrace I am delighted. It is a stunning venue and is the perfect mix of a variety of locations and a compact, accessible and comfortable venue. It is so well designed and offers beautiful views as well as cozy places for guests to enjoy. The locations for filming are gorgeous as well, between the redwood trees, sweeping views, expansive lawn and twinkle lights hanging from the white tent - the backdrops are perfect to capture the many sides of a Wedding Day. I am always impressed by the food and the professionalism of the staff. They care so much for their clients and guests experiences and have high standards that they hold for all the vendors as well as their staff. I always feel a part of a team which helps me serve my clients all the better! I am grateful to have built the relationship that I have with Caren, Anastasia, and Kristy and look forward to seeing more referrals in my inbox and having the opportunity to film at The Mountain Terrace many more times!

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!

I have had several events/workshops and birthday parties at Gemini Moon Ranch and as an event planner, host for more than 20 years, this has got to be one of my all time favorite places ever. Tracy is a great property owner and caretaker and attends to everything promptly and professionally. The land is so magical and the trees create a lot of shade and beauty - I swear it is a magical land with a lot of welcoming energy. The creek, swings, yoga deck, pool and all the amenities are so well laid out, along with the kitchen and all the artwork....I can't recommend this enough!

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!
