Dreamy OC (SoCal) Oceanfront Wedding Venues
Hi there. Does anyone have recommendations for reasonable wedding venues in OC with ocean views? Started doing an initial search, and on average it's costing 10-15K just for the venue. I've been getting 30k quotes for Venue, Food and Drink. But I know florals, DJ, photo/video is a huge expense as well, and to be perfectly honest, I'm not even so impressed with these venues to begin with. I wanted my budget for everything to be around 40-45k for 55-70 guests which I feel should be more than reasonable but clearly is not. Below are some places I've reached out to and don't like:
- Ritz Carlton Santa Barbara and Laguna Niguel - LOVE but too expensive.
- La Venta Inn (not in OC) - Too expensive
- Casa Romantica (their oceanfront patio is under construction and unavailable for use)
- Ole Hanson Beach Club - Ceremony area is right next to train and public street. Their dance floor has a dark barn vibe which isn't really my thing.
I want something chic and modern - not really a farm/barn/rustic type person.
If anyone has ANY ideas at all, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
