From the reviews
The most beautiful venue to have a wedding or private event... the view is absolutely breath taking. There is a vineyard with grapes, chardonnay and pinot noir on the property and the owner is pleasant and willing to sell you a keepsake bottle. The venue itself is accommodating with large clean bathrooms and a kitchen.
A beautiful venue. There is a large patio with ocean views for a spectaular outdoor experience. A hidden gem in Rancho Palos Verdes
Our son was married here in 2012, and it was a wonderful experience all around. The property is beautiful, the view rivals any on the planet, and the infrastructure that Jim York has put together works very well for a wedding. We had 130 guests, but the venue can easily accomodate more than that.
Great location for weddings and other events. Had an event for the Palos Verde Art Center, a fundraiser, and the location made it fabulous. 2nd event today, July 14. Even better than last year, and last year was FAB. Go check it out for your next special event.
Getting married at Catalina View Gardens
Catalina View Gardens comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
