We have had the privilege of designing for a number of clients at this venue. Each and every time it has been a unique experience with the romance ALWAYS there. This venue could not scream passion and romance any louder! The architecture alone makes you feel like you’re in some kind of romantic film from the ornate Spanish style architecture blended with European flare. The Mission Inn was founded back in 1876 by Frank Miller and has since then created years and years of beautiful memories and moments for each and every one of its guests. 

The grounds are breathtaking, the hospitality is exceptional and the venue is perfect for capturing beautiful photos! There are various ceremony and reception locations to choose from, a variety of terraces, ballrooms, courtyards, gardens and more!

This home was built back in 1911 and has since expanded with its carriage house addition back in 2003. Upon first glance this house makes you feel warm, cozy and like you’re about to witness the backyard wedding in the movie “13 Going On 30”. The aesthetic is just so very tender!

Inside the home you will find a grand staircase, vintage furniture and beautiful wallpaper, perfect for those getting ready shots! On the grounds you will see a great big California live oak tree that adds such a natural and unique element to the venue! The yellow shingles and the green shutters are just so cute! This venue is so well kept. We cannot say enough great things about it. 🙂

Casa Romantica Cultural Center And Gardens

Um, hello! Can you say beach city? The Casa Romantica Cultural Center & Gardens is located in San Clemente. When it’s not hosting grandiose events, this venue serves as a non-profit organization offering programs that teach all about culture to its guests of all ages. We love that! This venue offers so many great sights starting with its oceanfront view. I mean how much more romantic can you get with a ceremony that overlooks the Pacific Ocean? 

The architecture is rustic and helps create a delicate backdrop for the wedding celebration. We love the many archways, fresh white walls with greenery accents!
