Looking for wedding locations in the OC area. I am on a bit of a budget being that I'm a lowly paid servant to a member of Congress (hopefully that will payoff one day).


I'm interested in learning your personal experience with location, food, etc.
We are looking at a Feb/Mar 2011 time frame w/ the number of attendees in the 75 range.

As you can see I don't live in the SoCal area, but my bride-to-be's family is still there.

We've talked about doing a all-in-one location event at a place like Turnip Rose or doing a destination thing at a Temecula vineyard. I even have her considering the Marconi Automotive Museum.

Apprecaite all the input fellas.

PS - Yes, I'm sure I want to make this life changing leap of money-robbing family life.

In Palos Verdes, over looks the coastline. Cozy venue. Got hitched there a year and a half ago with about 120-ish guests. Food was great. Location was perfect. Talk to Tim Kennedy who was our coordinator. Highly recommended!

 

Thanks for the quick reply - I'll give them a try. Once I get this wedding thing figured out, I'm sure my next SOCAL thread will be Career Advice (She is determined to get back out west)

beautiful newport coast - overlooking the crystal cove state park/beach and the pacific ocean. PLUS it's next to the PCH

one of the most beautiful places i've visited. Supremely elegant, sophisticated, and luxurious at the same time.

 

Don't do it or find some place it is not legally binding. A friend of my (female) took out the license but never filed it (cuz she quickly realized the guy was a jerk) therefore not binding. Have a really nice ceremony but never file the paperwork. She'll never know the difference.
