The larger the event — the more stressful the planning; that’s why intimate weddings are on the rise. These popular events offer more flexibility, are budget-friendly, provide more time with guests, and offer a better opportunity to customize the experience.

Planning a massive wedding can be a huge undertaking, and spending the better portion of your special day shaking hands and making small talk with friends of friends, and people you barely see or hardly know doesn’t sound like a dream event to most couples. That’s why so many couples are opting to have a smaller, boutique wedding — and if you’re looking for the perfect intimate wedding venues in Marina del Rey, California, you’ve come to the right place. Wedding venues for small gatherings may be a dime a dozen, but the perfect event space is hard to come by — that is until you check out the incredible offerings from City Cruises Marina del Rey.

As far as wedding events go, the bachelor party is the groom’s time to shine. It’s the one event dedicated exclusively to him and his group of groomsmen, friends, and/or family members. So for those hosting a Marina del Rey wedding, having a bachelor party on the water seems an obvious choice of venue. Not only does that option offer amazing views and an adventure unlike any other, but a yacht venue — if you choose the right one — also provides plenty of amenities and features to make the night memorable. A bachelor party in Marina del Rey is the perfect destination for this pre-wedding celebration, and with City Cruises, it’s all about ensuring the evening will be a big success.

Marina del Rey is a seaside community that is as beautiful and breathtaking as it sounds. Located in Los Angeles County in California, Marina del Rey is actually a man-made marina with more than 4,600 boat slips according to the Marina del Rey Tourism Board. It is the perfect place for anyone who enjoys great year-round weather, the beach, bicycling, wonderful sunsets, water sports from sailing to kayaking, and top-notch restaurants. This seaside gem is the perfect place to host not only your Marina del Rey wedding but a post-wedding brunch as well.

Once your Newport Beach wedding is over, there’s no need to despair since you can still keep the festivities going with another traditional event: the post-wedding brunch. It’s especially enticing in such a beautiful destination. In fact, a post-wedding brunch in Newport Beach can be a unique and luxurious experience when you opt for a yacht venue. Especially in a beautiful area like Newport Beach, because a post-wedding brunch on the water includes gorgeous skyline views off Southern California’s coastline, Newport Beach’s pristine harbor, towering yachts, and celebrity homes — not to mention all of the exquisite surroundings of Orange County and the Los Angeles area overall. And when you select City Cruises as your partner, you’ll get access to all of the amenities, services, and exceptional hospitality designed to make the process seamless and enjoyable.
