Hotel Joaquin 

5.0

Laguna Beach, CA
  • Up to 60 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $20,000

Soul is our style A petite resort nestled above Shaw’s Cove, Hotel Joaquin is a gem hidden in plain sight along the Pacific’s rich coastline. Marrying the breezy spirit of a faraway island escape with the pioneering soul of California’s first Spanish settlers, we invite you to disconnect from the ordinary and rediscover the indulgence of your innate senses. At Hotel Joaquin we know the value of the in-between moments that weave into lasting memories. We know the value of you.

My husband and I got married at Hotel Joaquin, surrounded by our closest loved ones. We had the most incredible weekend. The space is intimate and beautiful, the booking process was seamless and we were just so impressed with the team. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. I cannot recommend this property (and team) enough. We were able to customize so many details that would have been overlooked at the larger properties.

Plaza De Magdalena 

4.5

San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 229 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Sundried Tomato American Bistros & Catering brings you Plaza de Magdalena, a stunning event venue in the heart of downtown San Juan Capistrano. This picturesque location provides many configurations and options to choose from. Enter through the traditionally-designed, wrought iron gates into a refreshing, open-air courtyard with serene waterfall and twinkling market lights. Located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, Plaza de Magdalena is just steps from the Amtrak station and close to the 5 Freeway.

Plaza De Magdalena was a beautiful venue for our wedding. The reception space was lovely. While the ceremony area and bridal suite were a bit on the smaller side, the venue provided great value overall. The food was amazing, and they included all the tableware and linens, which was a nice perk. The venue coordinator, Patti, could have been more responsive which was the most frustrating part about choosing this venue. However, the rest of team still did a great job making our day special. The groom's dressing area was a bit unconventional, being in a storage room, but they made it look nice. Overall, we're so glad we went with Plaza De Magdalena - it was an affordable option with a beautiful reception space and exactly what we needed.

El Adobe De Capistrano 
San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The traditional Mexican Palenque was an arena that hosted many large parties and even battles that date back to a Mayan civilization that still stands today in Chiapas, Mexico. El Adobe added the Palenque Room to match this Mexican event space concept and host larger parties of its own. Weddings had long since been taking place at El Adobe but with the new Palenque Room and Chapel location in the adjacent Garden, it gave guests a dedicated space to host a grand wedding celebration with up to 250 guests in attendance. One of the most well-known features of this room is the retractable ceiling that opens up almost 40ft across to expose the skies above San Juan Capistrano. The room and its Garden have evolved over time adding a full bar of its own and spacious restrooms to accommodate the larger guest count. However, it still holds its original style and beauty where thousands have come to celebrate their special events and gather their friends and families for an unforgettable night.

Jewel of Ortega 

5.0

San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $9,000

Jewel of Ortega, located adjacent to the beautiful Santa Ana Moutains, nestled within pristine chaparral oak forest and lemon groves. Located in Orange County just thirty minutes from downtown historic downtown San Juan Capistrano and the beach, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and surrounding mountains. This beautiful spacious home located on 83 private acres provides a magical setting for your wedding, “luxury off the grid”. Jewel of Ortega offers full private use of facility and property including lodging in the spacious 6,200 square foot home, for up to 20 guests. This ranch property has plenty of space for your all of your guests, with a pool house and sauna, wrap-around patio, and spacious kitchen.

The Jewel of Ortega is an absolute dream. From the minute the venue manager responded to our inquiry, we were over the moon about this place. It checked all our boxes for a retreat style wedding for our wedding party, parents and grandparents, in a nature-filled spot in Southern California but not difficult to get to, customizable to our vision and desires, and with an authentic and laid back team. Before we left our first venue visit we knew we would sign. The previous venue manager was very flexible with our requests and everyone we worked with on the approved vendor list was incredible and excited to go back to The Jewel, although we did appreciate that we had the option to choose others too. A month before the wedding, said manager left the venue and we were so nervous about how the transition to the new manager Sally and her team would go, especially as we were planning a DIY wedding from abroad and had only visited the venue twice. The handover was absolutely seamless and turned out better than we could have ever imagined - which is a testament to the ownership. Sally and her crew worked their tails off from start to finish that weekend and looped us into every decision in a productive manner. They stepped up big time when our wedding coordinator didn't deliver. They made all of our guests comfortable and we all felt like we were home for the weekend, which everyone complimented us on. It was just a pleasure to get to know them as people too, really. Before we even left the venue, we were coming up with reasons to come stay again. Thank you and we will be back!!

Celebrating an endless California atmosphere, Lido House offers the perfect setting for 'exactly like nothing else' experiences. We are in heart of Newport Beach, CA known as the destination of celebration. Our coastal curated settings are perfect for social events such as weddings! The Boathouse Ballroom and natural lit pre-function space opens up to the inviting bistro lit Lido Lawn, ideal for ceremonies and outdoor functions.

I wish everyone could experience the joy of getting married at the Lido House! The customer service was truly exceptional. Brian went above and beyond to help make our day special. They offered a complimentary suite upgrade on the night of our wedding, as well as the night before. They honored all our various food preferences. Brian offered to have multiple meetings to discuss all of the details. When I was sick and had to miss the menu tasting, they put the whole selection in to-go containers and included tea and cough drops in the bag. They offered complimentary car service to the beach for our sunset photos. I could go on and on! I cannot recommend the Lido House more highly.
