Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This modern boutique hotel, set at the edge of the Redondo Beach marina, boasts sleek architecture, airy interiors, and a refreshingly laid back vibe that feels equal parts destination getaway and SoCal cool. We especially love the option of a property buyout, providing complete venue exclusivity—and fabulous lodging—for the whole weekend, with luxe guest rooms, on-site dining, a serene spa, and a seasoned team and curated all-inclusive packages to keep the whole process stress free.
- The Sky Level is a spectacular rooftop space blessed with sweeping Pacific views that extend from Palos Verdes to Malibu. You can host your whole celebration here, from a sunkissed ceremony to mingling amid lounge vignettes while enjoying craft cocktails or one of the 24 beers on tap at the Sky Bar.
- If you can’t choose between indoors or outdoors, the Horizon Level is your perfect compromise. The clean, contemporary interior is outfitted with soaring 14-foot ceilings, gleaming wood grain tile flooring, and wraparound walls of glass that glide open to an adjacent Terrace, inviting your guests to easily flow between spaces enjoying uninterrupted ocean views.
