Help with California Venues?

What is your budget and what do you need that budget to include?

I found this article here on ocean view SoCal venues:

I don’t know the budget of these but they look stunning

My budget around $18,000. for setup, dinner, drinks, flowers, etc.

They are stunning! I requested some pricing so I will see. thanks for the help!!

View Quoted Comment I did some googling and the Santa Barbara maritime museum looks like it might work. Redondo beach library is your budget for 100 guests but not 250. You may have to cut your guest list or sacrifice an ocean view.

I am not sure how far south CA you need. But Marina Village in San Diego is pretty good.

Not sure if it would be within budget but check out DoubleTree in Santa Barbara. My husband grew up in SoCal and that’s where his prom was held and it’s a gorgeous place.

View Quoted Comment Ya...that's what I was thinking. might have to cut the guests a little.

If you can cut your guest list a little bit...

Verandas in Manhattan Beach (https://verandasmb.com/ ) is so pretty and a block from the water! You can get married on the sand (they’ll coordinate) or in their courtyard (ocean view). Not sure what your budget is, but we found them to be pretty reasonable within the area and they can make a lot of customizations to the pricing based on what you want and don’t want.
