About this venue

Step into The Den, where the charm of the Amalfi Coast and the rustic beauty of Tuscany come to life against the coastal backdrop of Newport Beach. Our little Italian family is thrilled to welcome you to a unique space that transcends the ordinary. Less than one mile from the coast, it is a home away from home on the California Riviera. The Den is more than an event venue and creative studio. It's a celebration of community, inspired by the warmth and togetherness found in the heart of Italian family gatherings. Our 1,400-square-foot indoor space is meticulously styled to reflect the enchanting gardens of the Amalfi Coast. Sip a glass of Prosecco at our bar, find solace in the warmth of the fireplace in the garden lounge, and let the soothing melody of our fountain be the soundtrack as you mingle with loved ones between the olive trees. We look forward to sharing true essence of living la dolce vita with you!

    Planning with Tara for both my bridal shower and our intimate micro-wedding reception was so effortless and both turned out so perfect! They have an in-house design team that created custom styling for this, with such pretty rentals and settings. Their team was so nice and just a pleasure to work with, so knowledgeable with amazing vendor contacts (which is how we found our photographer)! Thank you so, so much again for everything.

    I cannot say enough about how easy it was to plan an event at this venue. We used the provided furnishings and included tableware which were so beautifully curated. Complete with a fireside lounge and a built-in bar, it already had so many ideal amenities and my client loved it for their rehearsal dinner. Working here was easy and seamless...a planner's dream venue!
