From the reviews
We got married here in April 2025 and it was absolutely everything we dreamed of and more! The setting was stunning — right by the ocean with the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony on the lawn. We moved up to the balcony for dinner, and the sunset over the water during dinner was incredible.
We got married here on August 6th and can not recommend it enough. The staff are wonderful. Our guests really noticed and felt this too. We loved every second and are glad we found this gem 💎 ❤️ 📸 by christie q photography
I got married here in August 2022 and it was the dreamiest wedding I could have asked for!! Amazing location right by the beach, the lawn was perfect for a little ceremony and then we got to have our dinner and reception on the balcony of the beach club while the sun was setting on the ocean!
We had our wedding here on 4/19/24 and it was absolutely beautiful! Amanda and Bree went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, they were both so accommodating and helpful! The food by 24 Carrots was delicious. All of our guests were blown away by the beautiful views and the quality of the food.
Getting married at Ole Hanson Beach 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.
