Beach Resort Weddings at The OCeanfront | The Oceanfront CA

As the newest resort in The OCeanfront collection, The Resort at Pelican Hill has drawn plenty of attention and awe. With its romantic views of the Pacific Ocean and grand, Tuscan-style architecture, The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach was tailor-made to become one of the most coveted weddings venues in Orange County—and indeed, the entire California coast.

A few highlights:

•    The Wedding Lawn: The name says it all. This is the ultimate outdoor wedding venue, featuring a grand Renaissance rotunda and spectacular vistas over the entire resort, golf courses and Pacific. It is nothing short of stunning.
•    Mar Vista Ballroom: Ultra-luxurious appointments, high-ceilings and expansive walls of glass that bath the room in light and showcase views of the ocean and golf course… need we say more? Separate from the hotel with its own arrival area for privacy, this room opens to an expansive ocean-view terrace for indoor-outdoor celebrations.
•    Wedding Butler: Upon check in, a wedding butler is assigned to tend your every need. Did we mention the bridal couple is treated to a complimentary 2,193-square-foot, two bedroom villa on the wedding night?

Striking views, dramatic cliffs and at atmosphere that is at once elegant and personal—these are the elements that define a wedding at Montage Laguna Beach. Not to mention, Wedding planner, Jamie Puffer, is Montage’s resident specialist with experience planning more than 200 weddings at this beach resort. She stands ready to walk you through each stage of wedding planning, from table design to a custom reception menu. Check out Jamie’s wedding blog for planning tips, etiquette and more.

Are you a couple of foodies? Two of Orange County’s best chefs now call Montage Laguna Beach home: Executive Chef Craig Strong and Pastry Chef Louise Chien. Both bring their best to bear in the creation of seriously awe-inspiring cuisine for your wedding reception. No rubbery chicken or tasteless wedding cake here. We’re talking organic, locally sourced ingredients. Think heirloom tomatoes, chanterelles, hand-made pasta and rack of lamb. And Chef Chien’s wedding cakes are the stuff of dreams—both beautiful to behold and lick-your-plate delicious!
