Which venue should I use for my beach front Santa Monica Wedding?

Where should I have my Santa Monica wedding?

One of the last weddings that we planned was at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House in the Marion Davies Guest House and Courtyard.  http://www.annenbergbeachhouse.com/plan-your-event/celebrations-and-weddings.aspx?s_kwcid=TC-1025855-8859924092-bb-813764189

The venue for a Santa Monica wedding was perfection.  The Marion Davies Guest House is a historic charmer overlooking the beach and the ocean.  The bride and her party get ready in a private room upstairs with an ocean view balcony and windows to spy on the pre-wedding activities.  The wedding ceremony takes place at the edge of the beach in a sunken courtyard.  This is ideal – you have the feel, the scents, and the sights of the beach and the ocean without the sand in your shoes and wobbly chairs. 

The cocktail hour is held inside the guest house as the courtyard is transformed into the dinner and reception area.  There is a “bar room” as well as a great room with a fireplace for your guests to lounge about drinking and noshing on hors d'oeuvres. 

The reception area can accommodate buffet style or sit down dinners, and the Annenberg Community Beach House has a list of preferred caterers for you to select.  Back to the Beach Catering did a fantastic buffet for this Santa Monica wedding! 

When you book this facility, they assign and “Event Coordinator” for your party.  This may sound like you are getting a wedding planner or wedding coordinator for your special day; however, your Annenberg Event Coordinator is mainly your contact person for the facility and all of the insurance, parking, and security aspects of using this venue.  They are a great resource and do a wonderful job, and work very well with your wedding coordinator to produce a phenomenal wedding or event!

As soon as we have clearance from the photographer to publish photos from the wedding, we will post them.  For now, to get a closer view of the facility, check out the website by clicking on the link above.

At An Amazing Affair, the Annenberg Community Beach House is one of our preferred venues for any type of celebration, and we would be more than happy to guide you through the intricacies of booking your Santa Monica wedding or celebration there!
