About this venue

The Balboa Inn is a lavish oceanfront wedding venue based in sunny Newport Beach, CA. Established in 1929, the venue has not lost any of its authentic coastal aesthetic, with Mediterranean buildings and courtyards. The courtyard is an excellent area to welcome your guests. It features potted palm trees and original handcrafted tiling, set to the sound of the Pacific Ocean crashing onto Newport’s sandy shores. The Terrace has a guest capacity of 200, making this a wonderful environment for couples to have a meaningful ceremony or relaxing cocktail hour. With breathtaking panoramic views overlooking Catalina Island and all the way through to Dana Point, this event space is a picturesque backdrop for any occasion. The Matera Ballroom can host up to 150 of your nearest and dearest and provides a wonderful space to say your “I dos” in grand style. The Matera Dining Room and its adjacent courtyard create a warm environment to host your wedding reception as the sea breeze flows through.

Their communication is seamless, and they go above and beyond to accommodate every detail. And let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Guests couldn’t stop raving about it! If you're looking for a venue with coastal charm, exceptional service, and unforgettable cuisine, the Balboa Inn checks all the boxes. I can’t wait to plan here again!
