Say “I Do” on the California Coast at Shutters on the Beach

Talented decorator, Michael Smith – best known for his work at the presidential White House – designed the elegant coastal interiors to make guests feel at home during their stay. Sophisticated spaces feature dark wood floors, white-painted wood paneled walls, and custom furnishings, as well as original artwork displayed throughout the property by renowned artists including Richard Diebenkorn, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Claes Oldenburg, and William Wegman.

The beachfront property offers an array of stylish venues for wedding events, including the Grand Salon featuring chandeliers draped with glass seashells and beads and an inviting fireplace to provide an intimate, relaxed feel. Brides and grooms desiring a seaside soirée will love the Pacific Terrace, a beautiful space for a ceremony or cocktail hour with a guest list of up to 220 guests that looks out over Santa Monica Beach. The property also showcases a number of private event spaces for rehearsal dinners or post-wedding brunches. Oceanside and Beachside Rooms are just steps off the sand and offer intimate views of the Pacific for smaller celebrations of 20-70 loved ones.

In addition, the bride and her bridesmaids or mother can indulge in pre-wedding pampering at ONE Spa, which offers organic body treatments, or couples can enjoy a post-nuptial day of relaxation with an array of revitalizing experiences. Guests staying on property can also relish in a day of sun on the luxurious pool deck – also designed by Michael Smith – or enjoy an afternoon on the sand with planning assistance from a year-round beach concierge that provides recreational activities, bicycle rentals, and other amenities. Guests staying in the Oceanside and Beachside Rooms on property also have access to a Tesla Model S electric vehicle to venture to one of the other beaches or towns along the coast.

So if you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers the luxury you desire matched with sensational ocean views, beachfront accommodations for your guests, and a variety of ceremony and reception venues to fit your taste, discover this beautiful and charming property by the sea.
