Seaside Serentiy: Plan Your Beach Wedding at Occasions Laguna Village, Southern California — The Double Knot | Certified Planners | Weddings and Events

There is something about the beach that screams romance and makes it the perfect place to plan your wedding day. There are a huge amount of weddings every year here in Southern California, and there are only so many private spots to choose from. Where can you go to get away from crowds and the sand but still have the incredible beach view? Check out Occasions in Laguna Village. It is the ultimate beach experience overlooking the sunset for your Southern California Beach themed wedding day minus the sand.

The Enchanting Setting

One of the best parts about living in the west coast is the sunsets! It’s the best backdrop for your wedding day. Occasions at Laguna Village is the perfect combination of that beach view while giving you a private space overlooking that gorgeous beach. The view that they offer literally draws in the guests with a wow. We have to pause the events at sunset because the guests are so distracted by the sunset. We stop everything and just take it in! Sometimes we even get a pirate ship or a pod of dolphins to enjoy too! There are plenty of hotels, shopping, and quite a few magical photo spots within walking distance to the venue.

Occasions Laguna Village Overview

Whether you have a small intimate party of 50, or a larger party of 150, this venue can accommodate your every need! Guests are welcomed to a private landing where the view is stunning and your personal welcome items are on display. Then, they are welcomed downstairs where the ceremony is set, angled to perfection towards the beach backdrop. Once the guests are seated, the bridal party processes down the stairs to join their guests. Once the ceremony is complete the guests are invited to a private garden until photos are complete and the ceremony space magically transforms into the reception location. The staff has it down to an art and it is incredible how quickly they make it happen! Then, the guests are welcomed back to the reception space for dinner and dancing.

Choosing the Perfect Date

Although the weather here in Southern California is impeccable most months out of the year, it is recommended that you avoid the colder Winter months at the beach to avoid rain, or high winds. Prime months include April through November, but difficult weather can happen at any time of the year. This venue can be tented if needed for your peace of mind and guest comfort. For any Southern California Beach wedding we highly recommend avoiding any decor that can be damaged or taken away in the breeze that often comes with that incredible ocean view.

Space Features and Customizations

We absolutely love the standard features of Occasions at Laguna Village including the views of the ocean, the garden, and the ceremony/reception space, and the grand staircase for the ultimate bride and groom grand entrance, but we also love the customizations available! The nearby restaurant provides the most delicious catering and absolutely impeccable customer service. They can offer plated meals, buffets, and customized cuisine. We can say firsthand that the food is delicious, and your guests will feel absolutely pampered. Aside from the food, you can customize your wedding look with rentals including farm tables, customized chuppah’s, cake stands, lounge furniture, and more. It is your day! Don’t forget to get that signature group photo of you and your guests from the top of the staircase during the end of cocktail hour! It’s rare to find a venue with the perfect bird’s eye view of your entire event.

Guest Accommodations

When choosing a wedding venue, it is important to think about your guests’ experience. In any Southern California beach wedding, you must consider how to make arrangements for your guests parking and arrival. Occasions at Laguna Village includes a shuttle bus to and from a designated parking lot nearby, so your guests will not feel stressed about finding parking. The shuttle runs all night, so you can come and go as needed. There will also be two reserved up front parking spots for you and your immediate family at the valet lot next to the reception space. When there is a plan in place, you and your guests will have peace of mind, and a stress-free event. The coordination staff at the venue help you every step of the way to make sure you and your guests are taken care of.
