Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Perched on a hill just a mile from the beach, this upscale golf club occupies an amazing vantage with views of rolling fairways, sunsets over the horizon, and rugged canyons. The topnotch culinary team specializes in creating mouthwatering menus, both casual and gourmet, and the entire staff offers personalized service from start to finish.
- Your vows on the Ceremony Lawn are backed by a panoramic ocean view, framed by feathery trees and shrubbery and cooled by soft sea breezes. Then, celebrate with a glass of bubbly on the adjacent terrace or upstairs on the wraparound Canyons Patio where, along with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, you can drink in the peaceful vistas.
- The Canyons Restaurant, the setting for your main reception, is equally striking. This soaring space features floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed trestle beams sporting iron rivets, and a tall, stacked stone fireplace for a casually elegant ambiance.
