Description
Those who know L’Auberge Del Mar love it; those who are discovering it for the first time become instant converts. Set among award-winning gardens on a bluff overlooking miles of pristine beach, sandy coves and crashing waves, this treasured seaside resort is not only a great getaway, it’s a wonderful place for a wedding.
Ceremonies here are magical on the Pacific Ocean Terrace, an expansive rooftop patio with a sweeping view over the treetops down to the sea. During the day it’s caressed by sun-warmed breezes, and in the early evening it’s a perfect vantage point for watching the sun set. No wonder this spot was nominated by The California Guide Book as the best place to kiss in Southern California.
If you want to get married even closer to the ocean, opt for Seagrove Park. A private path leads from L’Auberge Del Mar to a grassy knoll at the water’s edge, where you can say your vows. Torrey pines dot the grass, and the view extends from Oceanside down to La Jolla. You can also have your reception on the lawn (yes, L’Auberge will cater it), or host it back at the resort.
L’Auberge’s indoor options may not have an ocean view, but each of the two main banquet rooms has its own terrace, refreshed by the sea air. The Crosby Ballroom (named for the famous Bing), is a classic site for your event. Contemporary crystal chandeliers sparkle overhead, while wall sconces create a soft glow. French doors open onto a lovely patio with a rock waterfall in the center. Ringed with greenery and partially enclosed by the ivy-covered walls of the inn, it’s an intimate space for cocktails or a small ceremony. A little bridge over the top of the waterfall makes an excellent perch for the bouquet toss. The Polo Room has the look of a private men’s club: a wealth of rich walnut veneer has been used in the wainscoting, coffered ceiling and support pillars; fine prints, depicting the sport of polo over the decades, are displayed on the walls. The adjacent terracotta-tiled patio, sometimes used for a small ceremony, is enclosed by a combination of the inn, a low stucco wall, giant planters and an overhead trellis.
After the wedding is over, stay for a seaside honeymoon. All of the guestrooms have terraces and many have ocean views and fireplaces. Enjoy a couple’s massage poolside or at the European spa, followed by a romantic gourmet dinner for two at J. Taylor’s Restaurant prepared by your very own James Beard chef.
And if romance isn’t your strong suit, never fear. L’Auberge Del Mar has an on-site Romance Director who can help you plan your celebration with creative ideas like a private serenade, skywriting a message during sunset and hot-air ballooning with dinner. Cupid couldn’t do more.
