Destination Wedding

Hi Nikkiey. Is $7000 your entire budget for everything, or is that your venue/food budget? If it's going to be for everything, you may have a tricky time getting that to work here in So Cal, as it's only $70 per person and would also have to include all of your vendors. Some beaches only allow up to 50 guests and no formal chairs, which definitely can put a damper on your day. Maybe look to see if Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach would fit in your budget. https://www.crystalcovestatepark.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/BC-EventVenues.pdf

Oh, good! Definitely check out Crystal Cove. They have quite a few really nice areas to host your reception and Laguna is such a cute town!

Take a look at community halls through the parks dept. They will have a smaller rental fee and include tables/chairs. You just provide the caterer and guests. A local restaurant will be a better deal than a wedding caterer.


Point Fermin Park in L.A. overlooks the ocean and is a beautiful area.
Santa Monica beach can be arranged through an elopement officiant and have lunch on the boardwalk.
