Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Blending serene al fresco settings with sleekly contemporary event spaces, this sensational Palos Verdes wedding venue, part of an impressive performing arts complex, is perfectly suited to its stylish Peninsula surroundings. The drama begins in the skylit Lobby, where a soaring ceiling and chic black granite bar provide the perfect introduction to your lucky guests.
- The West Terrace, designed with a tranquil stone fountain, Roman colonnades, and greenery all around, is the quintessential spot to tie the knot outside—plus, bistro lights and uplighting add a festive glow at night. Pair it with the adjoining Ballroom, accessible through floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and let the party flow in and out.
- The expansive, highly customizable Ballroom is undeniably the star of the show. Rich cherrywood walls, 14-foot paneled doors, spectacular domed chandeliers, a built-in stage, 12 rows of retractable stadium seating, and magnificent theater lighting maximize your options, and a state-of-the-art sound system ensures you'll enjoy pitch-perfect acoustics.
