Say “I do” in the OC with this unique, vintage-inspired engagement ring.
Location: Newport Beach, CA
Pelican Courtyard is an intimate event venue that’s located right in the bustling center of the gorgeous beach town Newport Beach. Often described as a “secret garden,” Pelican Courtyard is a beautiful, charming patio space with plenty of lush greenery. This lovely venue, located just a few blocks from the beach, is the perfect space for a small wedding (and, as an added bonus, it’s also one of the most affordable venues on our list!).
4. Bernardo Winery
Location: San Diego, CA
Bernardo Winery features acres of vineyards, rustic decor, olive trees, gardens, and, of course, plenty of incredible house made wine. With so much to offer on their sprawling vineyard, it’s no surprise that Bernardo Winery has several charming wedding venues on their property. Two of our favorites are The Barrel Room, a 125 year old wooden building that’s home to large scale redwood wine storage barrels, and Vito’s Park, an outdoor venue that overlooks the vineyard. Whichever venue you choose, you’re sure to be surrounded by beautiful scenery at Bernardo Winery— and there will be no shortage of excellent wine!
