Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa

Description

Just south of Laguna Beach lies a picturesque curve of coastline with white sandy beaches and balmy breezes wafting in from the Pacific. At the tip of this idyllic cove is Dana Point, a historic headland named for 19th-century seafaring adventurer and author Richard Henry Dana, who dubbed it “California’s most romantic spot.”

If romantic celebrations are on your agenda, then you’ll love the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, a AAA four-diamond luxury retreat. Perched on the wooded bluffs high above Dana Point, this upscale resort has a steeply pitched red-shingled roof and multipaned windows that evoke the nostalgic charms of Cape Cod. But the star of the scene is the dramatic panorama, encompassing acres of emerald green parks, a bustling marina, and the boundless blue ocean.

The Laguna Cliffs takes full advantage of its breathtaking setting by offering three beautiful outdoor locations for wedding ceremonies. The south-facing Del Mar Lawn, with its view of the sea, can be set with full wedding regalia—arches, urns, and a rose-petal aisle. The Vue Lawn spreads out in front of the main wing and treats guests to a colorful parade of yachts and sailboats weaving in and out of the harbor. A third spot, Laguna Brick, has a westerly orientation that makes it ideal for glorious sunset gatherings.

Gala receptions are staged in one of two handsome ballrooms, illuminated by recessed beaded crystal chandeliers and wall sconces. A color palette that calls to mind the sea and sun-kissed sand, gold Chiavari chairs, and the soft flickering of votive candles contribute to an ambiance of sophisticated coastal elegance. Equally impressive is the award-winning catering that puts a fresh California spin on traditional cuisine.

The staff at the resort takes your event as seriously as you do. A dedicated team of Wedding Professionals, along with your Wedding Concierge ensure that every detail is well-orchestrated and just the way you imagine. Wedding packages come with such extras as cake cutting, a luxurious bridal suite, and a “Couple’s Spa Massage” to soothe any pre-wedding jitters. Speaking of spa, this one is a favorite in the O.C. and has earned a Spa Finder magazine Reader’s Choice Award. Friends & family will appreciate a customized group spa experience, and brides should consider indulging in the “6-Week Countdown Package” that includes hair and make-up. Newleyweds can kick off their honeymoon with the “Endless Love Package,” a decadent menu of romantic pampering.

You and your guests will also enjoy first-class accommodations, decorated with taseteful flair. Thoughtful comforts like feathertop beds, duvets and waffle-weave robes inspire relaxation. With a host of diversions on site—bocce ball, lighted tennis courts and yoga classes—Laguna Cliffs is a fun place, too. For those courageous souls who want to try their hand at surfing, one of the resort’s Surf Butlers will help you hang ten!

The Director of Catering Sales told us, “We’re a warm and friendly place that strives to accommodate individual needs with a high level of service.” We think you’ll agree that Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa is a congenial ambassador for the Southern California experience.
