Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Embrace the SoCal lifestyle at this stylish boutique hotel in Redondo Beach, a place blessed by endless sunshine, balmy ocean breezes, and coastal luxury. Set on a lush private peninsula and offering impeccable, personalized service and exceptional cuisine, guests are able to relax, let loose, and embrace the full destination wedding experience.
- Begin with a ceremony on the Seaside Lawn under a sweet gazebo, with water as your backdrop and the refreshing scent of salt spray in the air. A short stroll takes you to the Pavilion, a crisp contemporary building with two distinctive ballrooms for receptions—both boasting unobstructed views of the sparkling sea. At night, the twinkling stars and the lights of the Palos Verdes Peninsula cast a dreamy shimmer on the water.
- Complete your impeccable wedding weekend with a rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch. Opt for the airy, stylish BALEENkitchen for fresh, locally sourced seafood, which can be enjoyed on the al fresco terrace or the plush, fireside couches, or book a marina boat for an on-the-water dining experience. At night, retreat to your plush, waterfront guest rooms, each impeccably appointed with luxurious amenities and private balconies overlooking the harbor or marina.
