About
The Ranch at Laguna Beach sits at the base of Aliso Canyon in South Laguna, and a wedding here borrows the canyon's quiet: stone pines, fairways and canyon walls rather than a busy beachfront. Ceremonies can take place in The Grove, a canyon-floor setting between the first and ninth fairways, shaded by stone pines about 50 years old. Receptions move to the Sage Ballroom, about 3,100 square feet, with glass doors and windows that look out over the golf course and canyon. It seats up to 200 in banquet rounds or holds 250 for a reception, and opens onto the Sage Patio, about 3,000 square feet and framed by stone pines. Harvest Lawn, above the ninth fairway, holds up to 150 for a ceremony. For sand underfoot, The Ranch also books Young's Event Lawn at Salt Creek Beach, about 15 minutes south, for up to 200 guests. Each couple works with a Catering Sales Manager, who handles menus, tastings, floor plans, setup and the rehearsal, alongside the couple's own wedding planner. Menus are built around each couple's tastes. The weekend can stretch past the day itself, with welcome gatherings, rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches and even a golf tournament for the wedding party. Bridal hair and salon services are on site, and photographers have plenty to work with: the putting green, bridges, gardens and a vintage tractor. A few local details shape the plan. Outdoor amplified music ends at 10pm under Laguna Beach rules, and dancing happens inside the ballroom. Plastic isn't allowed anywhere on the resort, welcome bags included.
