California Beach Weddings
Chart House, Redondo Beach
Not only does The Chart House serve up crowd-pleasing food and wine along with panoramic views of the Pacific, it’s also is one of the only places in the area where you can wed on the beach. The staff arranges everything with ease—some couples exchange vows on a carpeted platform, while others pledge themselves, barefoot, right on the sand. The most picturesque time for a ceremony here is at sunset, with a soft orange and pink glow blossoming in the distance. During the cocktail hour, the wedding party can romp at the water’s edge for photos. Add a tent to the scene, and continue the reception festivities seaside.
Hotel Del Coronado, San Diego County
The site of many a fabled amour, as well as several cinema classics, the award-winning “Del,” in Coronado Beach, is one of the most romantic wedding locations in the world. This coastal legend commands 28 oceanfront acres, and is blessed with outstanding amenities: historic, chandelier-clad banquet rooms; lush gardens and landscaped pathways; and stunning Victorian architecture. But if your heart’s desire is an authentic beach wedding, the Del’s superb catering staff will wave their magic wand and make it so. You and your beloved can share your first married kiss while basking in gentle sea breezes and a Technicolor sunset. Then continue the celebration in the lap of luxury inside the famous resort.
