Choose from indoor or outdoor venues with a catering and culinary team on site. Terranea also offers sunset gatherings against an ocean lit by bright California sunset hues. Not to mention, there are so many fun and relaxing activities that this heavenly resort has to offer!
With almost every outdoor or water activity you can think of (kayaking, hiking, surfing, scuba diving) there are also new things to try like falconry, stand-up paddle boarding, coastal fishing, and painting by the sea. Terranea also offers amazing dining selections, a rejuvenating spa and a gorgeous oceanfront golf course! Spa cious accommodations include the resort’s guest rooms and suites, fully-appointed villas, casitas and bungalows with residential-style amenities. Complete with kitchens, all rooms offer a unique environment for you and your families and friends to share their time together.
Ask the Expert
Elsa Feng of ME Events and Design shares what’s great about designing at this venue:
Beside the fact that it’s obviously beautiful and wows brides, grooms and all guests alike, Terranea is so great to work with! The catering staff, regular hotel staff, and banquet team do really seem like they are on the sa
me team as us, trying to make the day perfect for the bride and groom. They are flexible and try to do everything they can do to make things happen.
Also, the venue is such a clean palette that it can accommodate any look, feel, theme of a wedding. They have elements, colors and tones to make it a rustic or vintage wedding, but at the same time, the structure and feel
of the hotel can definitely cater to an extremely modern/chic wedding as well.
