My fiance and I are flying out to CA to choose the place that we are going to get married.  We currently have 7 places picked that we are going to see:Casa Del MarRitz Carlton Laguna NiguelShutters on the beachSt. Regis Monarch beachThe Sunset RestaurantLa Venta InnTerraneaI have never been to SoCal and would love feedback about any of these venues.  Looking for a beach/cliff/bluff setting.

Be prepared not to get too many answers on the SoCal boards: I live in Anaheim, but I wouldn't have any idea about venues in south county, and I'm not sure that people on the San Diego boards would have experience that far north.  Sorry.

I moved from LA not too long ago.  If you want a beautiful view for only $99 call the LA Park District and reserve the park overlooking the Pacific in Malibu, CA.  It is gorgeous and they do weddings.  You and groom would march right up to the edge (as far as you want to go) and the backdrop is the Pacific.  A sunset would be really beautiful.  It's off the PCH in Malibu.  If you are going north, it's before you get to Pepperdine.  Pepperdine is on the right and the park sits back off the street, on the left.  Just call the LA park district.  I did (before I moved from LA) and that's how I know it's $99 permit - that's it.  I saw a wedding setup there with beautiful chairs covered in white cloth facing the Pacific.  Too beautiful!

No, I'm sorry.  I can't! :(We just called it the park off the PCH in Malibu.  Sorry.  Based on a quick internet view, I think that it's Bluffs park.It's the park that has the baseball diamond (if you call the park district, they can tell you which it is).  Don't worry, the baseball diamond is somewhat removed from the area where the wedding could occur.  I just looked on the internet and one loc also has a reception area although it's not that dressy.

Actually,. I know of quite a few of those places having looked into a couple myself. They are all beautiful and unique locations in their own way. The closer you are to the beach the more you get to see in beauty of nature. if you like the city then nightlife is great that city is prettier at night and if you are indoors with an outside view it's AMAZING!
