Simply Spectacular
From grand to private, the Santa Catalina Island Company has the wedding venue that is perfect for you. Let your dreams come true at one of their three incredible properties: the Catalina Country Club, situated on a hill overlooking peaceful Avalon; the Descanso Beach Club, a palm tree-lined oceanfront oasis for an informal beachside celebration; or the landmark Casino Ballroom, featuring an interior as magnificent as the panoramic ocean views.
Country Club Weddings - Intimate, Private and Romantic
Poised on a knoll overlooking picturesque Avalon, the landmark Catalina Country Club is a striking example of Early California Revival architecture with distressed cream-colored walls, deep green trim, and a Spanish tile roof. A brick entryway welcomes you onto the spacious, historical property, five minutes and a world away from the center of town.
The Club’s expansive layout is divided into several unique areas. A brick terrace, set just off the main entrance, is ideal for small, intimate affairs. Exchange vows with the ocean as a backdrop, and enjoy a reception in the same location or in the adjacent banquet room. Continue up the stairs through the entryway into the Fountain Terrace, a classic setting for both weddings and receptions for up to 120 guests. Lined with ornate cement columns, paved with accented brick flooring, and anchored by an elaborate tile fountain, the Fountain Terrace exudes elegant simplicity. It is easy to see why outdoor receptions are so popular: guests can lounge comfortably in wrought-iron chairs, beneath market umbrellas in the daytime or under the stars at night.
Equally memorable affairs are held in the chic, Mission-style formal dining room, capable of accommodating up to 65 seated guests. An outdoor veranda surrounds the room, perfect for intimate dining for two. South American chandeliers hang from the wood-beamed vaulted ceiling while soft lighting, hurricane lanterns, and the glow of the fireplace set the mood. Sink into a plush armchair and absorb the formal room’s many exquisite touches: Plein Air artwork gracing the walls, rich mahogany detailing, and giant bay windows opening to expose a view extending from the ocean on the west to the former site of the Chicago Cub’s spring training field on the east.
Casino Weddings - Grand, Glamorous, One Of A Kind
Few words can describe the ambiance of the Catalina Casino; it epitomizes everything glamorous and romantic about Catalina Island. The one-of-a-kind venue is simply stunning inside, outside, and all around. If the meticulously decorated walls could talk, they’d tell countless stories of romance and celebration gathered from decades of memorable events. The immense, Deco-themed ballroom is large enough to contain both your wedding ceremony and reception.
Just a few years ago, the Casino was completely restored, retaining its signature lavish style: a stunning medley of rose-hued walls, an arching, 50-foot ceiling with five Tiffany chandeliers, an elevated stage, raised seating areas surrounding the wooden dance floor, and a vintage full-service bar anchoring the back. A sweeping veranda surrounds the ballroom with stunning 360-degree views of Avalon Bay. For a truly luxurious wedding, look no further than the pinnacle of the Island of Romance: the Catalina Casino.
Descanso Beach Weddings - A Stunning Outdoor Oasis
Down a palm tree-lined path just beyond the scenic Catalina Casino lies the Descanso Beach Club, Avalon’s only privately owned beachfront property available for public use. A terraced lawn, outfitted with an elevated stage, leads directly to the beach, with crystal clear waters stretching as far as the eye can see. The lawn seats up to 250 seated guests while the entire venue can accommodate groups as large as 1,200. This is the premier location for your picture-perfect beachside wedding.
