Know the Weather
THE SEASON WILL DETERMINE YOUR INDOOR OUR OUTDOOR VENUE.
When you select an outdoor venue you should also be aware of the costs associated with a rain plan. Tents can be a large added expense and the last thing you want before your big day.
2. Be Aware of Budget
THERE ARE MANY PIECES THAT COME INTO PLAY WHEN BUDGETING FOR YOUR DREAM VENUE.
It’s best to have an overall budget completed before looking at spaces. We know this can be difficult, so we highly recommend you speak with a wedding planner to best understand.
3. Guest Size
KNOW YOUR GUEST COUNT BEFORE SEARCHING FOR A VENUE.
It’s better to know this before you fall in love with a venue that’s too small or too large for your guest count.
Being Orange County wedding planners, we definitely have a few favorite venues from over the years.
Here are a few of them
The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel
If oceanfront is your ideal wedding setting then you definitely need to see The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel. Their gorgeous ceremony site has stunning views of the ocean and an incredible sunset for your guests to enjoy
Rancho Las Lomas
Do you love a natural setting with lush greenery and animals?! Well that is exactly the vibe of Rancho Las Lomas! They have gorgeous historical buildings that create some great photo opportunities for first look, wedding party photos and more. On top of all of that, they have ANIMALS including zebras and tigers! We are absolute animal lovers and how fun is it for guests to see some amazing animals during cocktail hour!
The ranch laguna beach
This is a favorite because its a hidden gem of beautiful canyon views less than a mile from the beach. The Ranch Laguna Beach feels like a mini escape from Laguna Beach while still allowing guests to be in a beach community.
