outdoor ceremony location?

My fiance booked our wedding at Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at Cal State Long Beach. To look at it from the outside, you would never guess how absolutely beautifult it is once you go through the gates. Beautiful gardens, ponds, and waterfalls.

I would suggest the University Club at UCI. It is actually pretty affordable in comparison with other venues and the outside garden ceremony area is very pretty. Good Luck!

Bowers Musuem has a fantastic garden-caters are great.
Another very popular place:
Heritage Park
34400 Old Golden Lantern
Dana Point, CA

Thank You Jessica, those are all great suggestions I really appreciate your help. I will check them out today.

I just looked at a venue in South Orange County called Rancho Capistrano. Its really beautiful,great pricing and packages. They have a chapel on site and amazing grounds with a lake and a bridge. Great for pictures!
You might want to give that a try. Good luck~

Hi Kathy-
I have a couple suggestions for you.
1. Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar. It is really pretty and great for a morning/afternoon wedding (if you can find a friend who is a member, they can save you a ton of money)
2. I would highly suggest you look at the Bowers Museum. It is a really neat place and all of the catering there is done by the Patina Group. They make wonderful food and then you don't have to worry about finding a caterer!
3. If money is not an issue, look into the new Pelican Hill golf course and hotel. It will be open by next spring and it is going to be amazing.
Good luck and congratulations!!
