seven 7 seven 777 Laguna Canyon Road • Laguna Beach • CA 92651

If your idea of bliss is strolling through serene European gardens adorned with statuary, but your fiancé would rather hit a pop-up tour of downtown graffiti, is this marriage doomed? No way! And neither is your wedding, because there's a perfect venue that will make you both happy.

Nestled amid the sweeping natural beauty of Laguna Canyon and just a couple of minutes from the sandy beach, seven 7 seven is an ideal blend of Old World charm and bold modern art. It's set against a panorama of rugged, sage-covered hills dotted with the occasional mansion, and has the feel of a Mediterranean piazza/garden oasis. Formerly known as "Tivoli Too", this long-time favorite has passed the torch to new owners who've maintained and enhanced its unique qualities while adding a few exciting twists in keeping with Laguna Beach's reputation as a dynamic, creative hub. (FYI: This has been the home of the annual Art-A-Fair festival for more than 50 years!)

Wrought-iron gates beneath a tiled-roof pavilion open to the huge brick-and-flagstone courtyard, bordered by the picturesque verandas of seven 7 seven's restaurant (open only during July and August), bar, and craftsman-style bridal cottage—all of which offer irresistible photo ops. At one end of this expansive outdoor haven is the utterly romantic open-air "chapel". Its raised, circular, stone stage features a breathtakingly lush backdrop made up of a profusion of native trees, flowering shrubs, lacy ferns, succulents, and pots of fragrant blooms. The scene is pure paradise, complete with three gentle streams merging into a cascading waterfall.

Your guests take their seats, while a classic statue of a winged angel watches over your ceremony from atop her pedestal. Celebrate your "I do"s with a champagne toast followed by cocktails and tray-passed hors d'oeuvres at the cake gazebo. For larger groups, half of the guests can mingle at the bar while the other half catches up with friends and family in the reception tent. Meanwhile, it's time to have fun with those all-important wedding photos!

After posing for some dreamy portraits in front of the waterfall, embrace your edgy side with images that incorporate the striking murals around the property, like a fantastic diorama bursting with myriad shapes, patterns, swirls, dots, and neon colors…or a surrealistic giant bluebird in a kaleidoscopic dreamscape...or a three-dimensional installation with a close-up of a woman's face behind a luscious pink rose.

Then, it's time to rejoin your guests for dinner and dancing. seven 7 seven's in-house catering focuses on fresh, healthy ingredients with an extensive choice of menu options. They offer customized packages to stay within your budget and have an amazing event. So yes, this really is the perfect venue—refined, elegant, and cool, plus they take care of just about everything.
