Wedding bee Friends!!! I need your help! Been looking all over for the perfect wedding venue but I cannot seem to find any in my budget. I am hoping to find a really beautiful wedding venue in the Laguna Beach area–i want ocean views and it to be outside. Please send me pics if you have any ideas!! I am open for something outside the box…maybe a cool mansion you have been to that I could rent? I think if it is not normally for weddings the price will not be so jacked up!! Maybe a beautiful park? Please help!

While it’s not right on the ocean, it’s nearby – try the Laguna Beach Women’s Club – the women are super super SUPER friendly and it’s got a great vintage feel to it. On top of it, they are a nonprofit so you can write off expense on your taxes. 🙂
Casa Romantica in San Clemente is also a beautiful location and right on the water. It has a dedicated parking lot for guests. They require that you use vendors from their approved list. My mom is renting next door so we’ve watched many brides over the last few months and all of them looked like they ran really smoothly. I’m attaching an image of it shot from the building next door.
The place I really wanted was the Dana Point Ocean Institute but we are on a super small budget and couldn’t afford it. Again, dedicated parking, smack dab on the water and a bit more sophisticated in their approach than most places that are right in Laguna.
Just some ideas. Hope this helps get you going. 🙂
