From the reviews
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVENING OF CELEBRATION! The DPYC was the perfect venue for our son's wedding last weekend. The layout of the venue was great for our large group. Everyone was able to mingle and enjoyed the delicious food. The entire staff were professional and genuinely kind.
Great place to enjoy the views of Dana Point, location is laid-back, not too many tourist action on this end. Went here for a wedding, & the whole event went wonderful, with the help of all the staff. Nice bar on the second floor!
Beautiful views and great place to have events because if the view. Great place to go for a walk or ride bikes.
I have had the pleasure of photographing weddings at the Dana Point Yacht Club, and it's always a great experience. The venue is always running on time and food is always delicious! I am always so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to making sure their clients are always cared for.
Getting married at Dana Point Yacht Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
