Beach Wedding Locations Recommendations?


Recommended Posts

We have decided to change our wedding plans and are looking for a semi-private beach in So Cal or Nor Cal. We are limiting the guests to immediate family and a few friends. I am posting here in search of advice and recommendations for beaches and a nearby restaurant. My Fiance and I are going to drive the coast during the next couple weekends and hopefully locate "our Spot."

 

We are looking for

Sandy Beach with rocky cliffs and outcrops

Natural scenery with little buidlings etc in the background

Semi-Private - Kind of a scenic "Off the beaten Path" location

Nearby Restaurant that will accomodate 30 people for dinner

Nearby Hotels / night life

 

We would prefer So Cal or central Cal but will go North if the location is appealing enough.

 

We also would like to locate a non - denominational wedding officiant.

 

Any other advice is greatly appreciated from anyone experienced with this process.

Hi TnA2009,

 

You might want to check out the Ritz Carlton in Laguna

If you are willing to pass on the beach, Cornerstone Gardens is a great location with LOTS of room for creative photos.

Cornerstone Place, located in Sonoma, California

 

Best of Luck to you in your selection. Can't wait to see what you decide on.

Hi, I am not sure how North you are willing to go, but I think places like Fort Bragg are going to have the most secluded beaches (which are also very pretty).  Another beach area I would recommend would be the Pajaro Dunes, located between Monterey/Carmel and Santa Cruz. That is pretty secluded because people generally choose to go north or south instead.  

 

There are also some really pretty beaches in Carmel, I think the most secluded one would probably be Hidden Cove or North Beach.

 

We were considering these locations for our wedding, but are probably not going this route because the area is so expensive it would be hard on our guests.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
