Hotel Laguna

Hotel Laguna is a historic oceanfront landmark in the heart of Laguna Beach, offering couples a true Southern California beach wedding experience. With its private stretch of sand, romantic rose garden, and classic ocean-view rooms, it brings ceremony, reception, and coastal charm together in one timeless setting.

Historic Beachfront Setting in Laguna Beach

Set right on the shoreline along Laguna’s main beach, Hotel Laguna blends vintage character with relaxed coastal style. Guests can step from the hotel directly onto the sand, while restaurants, galleries, and the village are just steps away out front. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for destination-style celebrations that still feel intimate and personal.

Ceremonies on the Sand or in the Rose Garden

Couples can say “I do” with their toes in the sand on the hotel’s private beachfront ceremony area, framed by waves, cliffs, and the changing colors of the sky. For a more traditional garden atmosphere, the elevated Rose Garden offers a lush setting with a white gazebo, palm trees, and peek-a-boo ocean views. Many weddings pair a beach or garden ceremony with cocktails on a terrace or in a lounge so guests can enjoy both the scenery and the sea breeze.

Ocean-View Rooms and Terraces for Receptions

For receptions and private events, Hotel Laguna offers several ocean-view spaces that work for both intimate and mid-sized celebrations. The main banquet-style room overlooks the water and typically features a private balcony, wood dance floor, built-in bar, and convenient access to restrooms, creating a natural hub for dinner and dancing. Smaller rooms with fireplaces and large windows are well suited to rehearsal dinners, micro-weddings, or brunches, and outdoor terraces can be reserved for cocktail hours or late-night mingling above the sand.

Coastal Cuisine, Bar Service, and Event Support

On-site catering emphasizes fresh, coastal-inspired cuisine that can be tailored for anything from a formal plated dinner to a relaxed buffet or reception-style menu. Wedding packages commonly include event essentials such as tables, chairs, linens, glassware, cake cutting, and a range of hosted bar options. The in-house events team helps with layouts, timelines, and service, keeping the evening flowing smoothly so couples can simply enjoy the celebration.

Turn Your Wedding into a Weekend by the Sea

With guest rooms, get-ready spaces, and all of Laguna Beach at the doorstep, it’s easy to turn a wedding at Hotel Laguna into a full weekend by the sea. Host a rehearsal dinner one night, a beach or garden ceremony and reception the next, and a relaxed farewell brunch before guests head home. Between events, friends and family can explore tide pools, art festivals, restaurants, and oceanfront paths, all centered around one beloved beachfront hotel.
