Good to know around Santa Monica
All 2 venues with posted hours are open on Sundays — handy if a weekend tour is the only time you can both get away.
For that water-as-your-backdrop ceremony, the venues here with standout ocean views are Shutters on the Beach, Huntley Hotel Santa Monica Beach, Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection, and 3 more — the horizon does half your decor budget's job.
Want a private stretch of sand — no permit, no onlookers? Shutters on the Beach and Viceroy Santa Monica offer a private beach — evidence from the venue's own site or couples' reviews. Confirm the details when you tour.
Want to stay where you celebrate?
These venues offer on-site lodging — rooms, suites, or a beach house steps from the sand, sometimes the whole property for the weekend. A built-in room block for out-of-town guests, no shuttle at last call, and breakfast on the water the morning after.

Prefer one contract and one bill?
