Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Nestled on the hills of San Clemente, this cool, contemporary art museum offers the perfect blend of laid-back California cool and dynamic modern design. Created as a place to expand the mind and "trigger your gray matter," it's perfect for couples seeking stylish, unique surroundings without losing sight of the tremendous natural beauty of the OC's shores.
- Say "I do" on the Ocean Terrace, perched above the sprawling city and sparkling sea. Your whole celebration can happen on the adjacent Garden Courtyard—the sunsets are especially spectacular here—but couples often opt to move the party inside to take advantage of the rotating artwork on display. Flanked by dual courtyards, the Gallery boasts large glass doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, a living succulent wall, and dramatic vaulted ceilings for a fresh, airy feel.
- The talented team at The Event Set will handle all the details, meaning you're free to simply enjoy the process and be present on the big day. They'll work closely with you to craft your perfect menu, with diverse and creative offerings from award-winning chefs (and experience with ethnic cuisine, too). Full event design and production services are also available, so let your imagination run wild!
