Urban Palms was an absolutely fabulous wedding venue — I wouldn’t have changed a single thing! The space is stunning, and the pricing was very reasonable. They were also incredibly accommodating with our budget, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest highlights was that the venue includes catering through Critics Choice Catering. Having the catering and tableware handled in-house removed so much stress from the planning process. Kaycie was wonderful to work with — so enthusiastic, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. From our very first tour to the food tasting and final details meeting, she listened carefully to our needs and was always quick to respond to every text or call. Everything turned out picture-perfect, and it was magical seeing the venue completely transformed for our big day. Kaycie also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which saved me so much time since I didn’t have a lot of time to plan. We used her suggested photographer, florist, and bridal party makeup team — and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend doing the day-of coordination with Kaycie and her team. I didn’t have to answer a single question on my wedding day — everything ran seamlessly. The coordinators were amazing, especially when I had a bustle mishap with my dress and they fixed it in seconds! They truly catered to us all evening, greeting us with drinks and appetizers upon arrival and keeping the entire timeline running perfectly. We hosted our cocktail hour in the Palm Court with our photo booth, enjoyed an intimate dinner in the Promenade with a beautiful U-shaped table setup, had our first dances and dance floor on the Lido Deck, and finished with cake cutting and a lounge area on the Sky Deck. It was incredibly romantic and such a unique use of the space. The venue is conveniently located right off the 405 freeway, but the walls are soundproof — you can’t hear any traffic at all. Plus, there’s a huge parking lot, so no valet is needed. Overall, Urban Palms is a beautiful, well-organized, and stress-free venue. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to have a truly magical wedding day!

The Redondo Beach Historic Library is an excellent choice for a wedding or event venue. The space is large and open, providing great value for the cost, and the location literally right by the water was stunning, especially at sunset. I loved the views and the food when I attended the first event Made by Meg Catering hosted there in February 2025 before renovations, it was a candidate forum for the city of Redondo Beach, and I cannot wait to return for many more events after they finish construction in the near future!

I had my daughter's quinceañera reception at the Courtyard Marriott West Los Angeles. We had over 150 guests. My experience with the staff and venue was incredible. I decided on the venue for a variety of reasons. It's a nice space, close to LAX for out of town guests, with ample parking on the westside of Los Angeles. The banquet room has an adjoining patio that makes the space inviting. The hotel has recently undergone some renovation that makes it a more posh experience. Alexandra Cantu, Senior Catering Sales Manager, was exceptional. She is very patient and responsive. Additionally, my guests raved about the food. The banquet room staff was also incredible and responsive to my guests. I would definitely recommend the courtyard Marriott West Los Angeles for your next event.

My husband and I attended their Wedding and Event Showcase to check out local vendors and ended up booking our entire wedding that day! Our original plan was to do a courthouse wedding and a small reception at our home but changed our mind after touring the venue. We fell in love with the Fireside Room. It was cozy, dim with Spanish-style vibes, perfect for a moody romantic wedding I had envisioned our wedding to be. We even decided to have our ceremony on the golf course at First Tee. It was perfect for us and our guests to have both in the same venue. What really convinced us to have our wedding here were our coordinators, Jennifer Flores and Carina Martinez. They were so kind and helpful from the first day we met at the Showcase all the way through to our wedding day. We were on a tight budget and had only two months to plan our 50-guest wedding. They had many different options to choose from. Carina was very patient and helped us choose the package best for us. We could not have asked for a better team. We are so grateful to them and the rest of the team for making our day special. An honorable mention goes to the Director of Food and Beverage, Mr. Jose Chavez. He was amazing! He made sure our menu for our guests was perfect, our His & Hers signature cocktails were exactly how we wanted them, the tables layout, everything! Kudos to him and his bartenders. They did an amazing job the day of our wedding as well as Carina, who stayed until the very end to make sure everything went smoothly. We cannot thank them enough. For the reception dinner we chose the plated meal service and chose the grilled chicken breast with a garlic cream sauce and the braised short rib, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Our guests had the option to choose chicken or beef for dinner. The food was delicious. Our favorite was the braised short rib. We offered our guests a one hour hosted cocktail hour while we took our photos by the lake, prior to entering the Fireside Room for dinner. We highly recommend this venue for weddings and other celebrations. It is a beautiful venue with many options. You will not regret it!

About wedding venues in Gardena, CA

California offers an incredible 840 miles of coastline, 3,000+ wineries and ancient redwoods for your wedding day. When you choose the Golden State, you're getting exceptional natural lighting for your ceremony across diverse settings from Mediterranean coastal zones to alpine mountain backdrops. Each region has its own distinctive character that can perfectly match your vision.

What Makes California Wedding Venues So Special?

Northern California's Napa Valley welcomes you with rolling vineyards and Spanish colonial architecture where intimate wine cave ceremonies create unforgettable moments. Head to Southern California and you'll find oceanfront venues like Duke's Malibu where you can exchange vows with the Pacific stretching out behind you while enjoying fresh coastal-inspired cuisine. Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.

How Much Do Wedding Venues in California Cost?

Wedding venues in California typically run between $9,600 and $11,700 which aligns nicely with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. This represents about 18% of your total wedding budget. Your overall costs will vary based on guest count: - 50 guests: $26,190 - 100 guests: $43,692 - 150 guests: $60,141 - 200 guests: $74,836 - 250 guests: $89,530 - 300 guests: $104,224

Which California Venues Are Fully Accessible?

The Griffith House features wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout its Spanish-style grounds including the private ceremony lawn and separate preparation spaces for couples. You might also consider Holman Ranch Sunstone Winery and Villa del Sol d'Oro though you'll want to directly confirm their specific accessibility features when you visit. Accessibility options have improved greatly across California venues in recent years.

When Should You Book Your California Wedding Venue?

October leads venue inquiries in California with couples typically booking venues about 13 months (400 days) before their wedding date. If you're dreaming of a Northern California wine country wedding during peak season you'll want to book up to 18 months in advance. Southern California venues offer more flexibility especially during winter months when you can still enjoy beautiful weather while potentially securing better rates.
