About
Surf & Sand Laguna Beach sits right on the sand at 1555 South Coast Highway, and most of its wedding spaces look straight out over the Pacific. Ceremonies usually happen outdoors. The Pacific Terrace, a private 1,050-square-foot space above the water's edge, holds up to 80 for a ceremony or 75 for a cocktail hour. The rooftop Catalina Terrace, the largest outdoor venue, has 180-degree ocean views and holds up to 180 for a ceremony or 90 for a reception. Indoors, the Laguna Ballroom has vaulted ceilings, original artwork and south-facing windows, and opens onto a private terrace; it holds up to 180. The Beachcomber leads through curved archways to a Mediterranean-style patio for up to 80, and Bluebird Beach, with a wall of windows and French doors to a garden patio with a fountain, suits up to 60. For full-property buyouts, the Pool Deck sits between the pool and the ocean. The Perfect Package covers three passed hors d'oeuvres, a three-course plated or buffet dinner, cake cutting or a plated dessert, a California sparkling wine toast, and an oceanfront room for the couple on the wedding night. The resort's chefs shape the menu with you and your Catering Manager, and Splashes can host the rehearsal dinner or a farewell brunch. Wedding guests get the lowest prevailing seasonal rate on rooms. Plan for a two-night minimum on Saturdays, and three on some holiday weekends.
