Laguna Beach has it all: sand, sun, and stunning backdrops. With all that Southern California has to offer, we are seeing couples go from one-day weddings to full-on wedding weekends to celebrate the occasion and give guests more time to enjoy the location.
Thinking about hosting your nuptials in Laguna Beach? Here is our guide to organizing your wedding weekend itinerary for a celebration your guests won’t forget:
Day One: Wedding Welcome Party
Whether it's a large-scale wedding or you just have a decent amount of guests coming in from out of town, a welcome party is the perfect, laid-back way to get your guests excited and interact with them before the big day. Take advantage of the great weather and showcase Laguna beach first hand with an opulent beach picnic with stunning views of the ocean.
Day Two: Wedding Ceremony & Reception
Day two of your wedding weekend is likely going to consist of your formal ceremony and reception. Needless to say, if you’re going to be saying “I do” in Laguna, you’ll want to find a venue that has it all, like The Ranch at Laguna Beach with indoor-outdoor spaces that tie together both elegance and nature for a one-of-a kind wedding ceremony and reception.
Day Three: Farewell Brunch
Your wedding day itself can be pretty hectic, and you may not have had time to properly thank and say goodbye to all of your guests. Hosting an elevated backyard farewell brunch the day after your wedding is the perfect way to express your gratitude before guests depart and before you jet off to your honeymoon!
