We were thrilled with our wedding venue at the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina. Throughout the planning process, their communication was prompt, precise and proficient in addressing all of our questions and requests. On our big day, the ceremony harbour terrace setup was simply beautiful, elegant and poised - the ocean views made for an intriguing backdrop as we exchanged our vows. The staff worked seamlessly to transform the space from ceremony to reception, and everything flowed together beautifully. For the value, we found the Sonesta to offer gorgeous waterfront venues and top-notch service at reasonable prices compared to other beachside locations in the LA area. We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a beautiful, memorable Southern California wedding!

I had a beautiful wedding and reception at The White House Beach Club. We brought a live band, a DJ to play after dinner and churros for an evening snack. The venue was gorgeous and it came together so well! The whole staff was so friendly and attentive. Nothing but great things to say about the venue and staff. Food was amazing! The appetizers were a big hit! The venue added a few nice to have few extra touches like the champagne welcome cart. The space is so great to throw a great wedding and reception!

After touring venues consistently on Sunday mornings, we canceled future tours after visiting Hartley Botanica. When looking for a venue, we wanted it to be outdoors and breathtaking since both of us enjoy a special connection to nature. We also were not able to consider a destination wedding because many of our guests live locally and our love story mainly takes place in Southern California. For all of these reasons and more, Hartley Botanica became our venue. The team works incredibly hard to meet rising expectations and they definitely deliver. They are a dream team to work with and I love every step of the planning process. Planning a large event, especially a wedding is complicated and the team does their best to keep it simple and grant your every request. We are so thrilled with how our wedding turned out.

USSB was more than I could have wished for. I myself am catholic, however my now husband was not raised catholic therefore a traditional catholic wedding was not going to be an option for us. We got lucky enough that USSB was recommended to us before we had just settled on getting married at the court house. Although Santa Barbara is home to a beautiful court house, nothing would have compared to USSB. It was the most beautiful ceremony I could have asked for, allowing me to incorporate the perfect touches of a catholic ceremony with the freedom of being in a non-denominational setting. Joanie was also great to work with she kept us at ease every step of the way & was already readily available when we had any questions or concerns planning the ceremony in getting all the vendors aligned together. If you’re looking for a timeless traditional venue with a touch of church setting USSB is the place for you.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with the team at Newhall Mansion. From our first inquiry through the final details before our wedding day, they were responsive and easy to work with, answering every question we had without hesitation. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with manicured gardens and classic architecture that made for incredible photos. The indoor and outdoor spaces gave us flexibility for our celebration, and everything felt elegant without being over the top. Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was.

The Vineyards was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! The entire team (Shadi, Jimmy, Soroor, Deena) was helpful from the moment we toured the Vineyards to the moment we left on our wedding day. The venue is beautiful, lush, and meticulously decorated. We chose to have our ceremony at the garden site and our reception in the ballroom. Our guests loved the venue and kept raving about the food. We had a very specific music-themed wedding, where we wanted to incorporate little touches of our story, and the venue and team were able to help us execute our vision seamlessly! They were very accommodating when we wanted to enter the venue early for hair and makeup and helped us with our timeline, which made everything on the day-of go smoothly. If we had to do our big day again, we would 100% choose the Vineyards every time! Thank you to the entire team, we are eternally grateful for your support.

Working with the Bel Air Bay Club to plan my wedding was so amazing and simple! I got married on Saturday June 6, 2026. They provide workbooks and packets of things you must decide on to make your day how you want. I was lucky enough to have had a planner help me plan my perfect day, but the BABC did an amazing job communicating with me as well to make sure we were all on the same page. The staff was so attentive and friendly throughout the whole process. From working with Liz, Jenny, and Alissa leading up to the big day to the staff the day of the wedding, the service and etiquette was more than I could’ve ever imagined. My husband and I were well taken care of all day and everyone always made sure they were there is we needed anything. Marielena, the bridal assistant from BABC, was the sweetest most angelic person I have ever met! She was such an amazing help to my husband and I on the day, and I couldn’t imagine my day without her help. She really is a fairy godmother and if you’re lucky enough to be able to have her assist you on your day, it is such a treat. The food was amazing from start to finish, our guests continue to rave about it until this day! They have so many great options to select from to personalize your day to fit you and your partner’s preferences. The quality is definitely up to par for the price you pay. The BABC does have a lot of regulations and protocols to be mindful of for the day of your event since they are a very busy venue, if you have any questions about restrictions or regulations their team does a great job of answering all of your questions or concerns. My wedding day was such a dream and I wish I could relive it everyday thanks to everyone at the BABC and our amazing vendors. ️️
