Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Escape to the coast at this stunning seaside resort, located in Huntington Beach just 30 minutes from Disneyland®. It's perfect for weekend weddings, with stylish, beach-inspired guest rooms and suites (many with oceanfront balconies!), an indulgent spa, pools, a beach bar, cabanas with butler service, and more. Our fave amenity? Craft cocktails at Offshore 9 Rooftop Lounge—OC's highest coastal rooftop!
- Your venue options are endless: the two-tiered Vista Lawns are perfect for romantic ocean-view celebrations, while the Huntington Pool offers a dual vista of the lagoon-style pool and palm-studded shore beyond. All six gorgeous ballrooms face the Pacific, many with private terraces ideal for mingling in the soft sea air as the sun sets.
- Their customizable all-inclusive packages are anything but cookie cutter, with every moment carefully orchestrated by your personal coordinator. Your chef-crafted menu will be exactly as you imagine it, whether that's an elevated five-course meal, a fresh-from-the-sea poke station, or late-night street style tacos. They even have a cool nitrogen ice cream bar!
