5 Best Wedding Venues in California

California, the Golden State. It’s safe to say that this state has A LOT to offer for both residents and visitors alike. There are so many amazing places, delicious foods, and cultural events that are a must to experience. We may be a little biased because we live here, but we also believe California is the best when it comes to weddings and where to have them. Here is our list of 5 best wedding venues for your big day.

The Resort at Pelican Hill

Looking for a classic wedding spot? This venue in Newport Beach, California will give you all the elegant vibes. This destination has stunning views and is great for both large and intimate occasions.  The resort offers multiple spaces to say your I do’s in, or you can combine them all together to create one large celebration! Pelican Hill also has an accommodating culinary team on staff that can prepare a curated menu, so this is very helpful when planning a Muslim or Indian ceremony.

Carondelet House

Get ready to be transported to another place in time! This wedding venue is an Italian inspired 1920’s brick building located in the heart of Los Angeles. It holds a wonderful combination of both vintage and urban feels.  There is much history to this luxury escape, which originally served as the home of one of the most known architects in the area. The building was then later acquired by the Otis College of Art and Design. This is the perfect place for stunning photography and videography, which is why it is one of our favorites!

The Box SF

Looking for a fun and unique place to tie the knot? This spot located in San Francisco checks both boxes! The Box SF actually houses the largest antiquarian paper and advertising archive in the United States, how’s that for unique? The venue offers multiple amenities, including an on-site Venue Manager to make sure everything runs smoothly for the bride and groom. Don’t forget to take a peek at their historic 336-year old conference and dining table made from antique Chinese village gate doors when taking a tour!

Calamigos Ranch

We absolutely love this gorgeous venue which boasts five different spaces to hold your celebration! Calamigos Ranch is in the center of the Malibu Wine Country and sits on 5,500 acres of land extending into the Santa Monica Mountains. This place is great for cultural ceremonies, such as Muslim weddings and Indian weddings, with its built-in features. You’ll be surrounded by beauty and nature in this private destination!

Moreton Bay Circle at the Fairmont Santa Monica

And last, but not least, the Fairmont Miramar provides a unique space to hold your wedding. Exchange vows under the famous and breathtaking historic landmark, Moreton Bay Fig Tree, which stands at 80 feet tall with a 120-foot network of branches. These outdoor grounds are perfect for cultural ceremonies too, with many features that make this venue suited for Muslim weddings and Indian weddings.  You’ll be over the moon while under the tree’s canopy.
