From the reviews
Absolutely perfect venue for a small intimate wedding. You must secure permits through the city. We hired Great Officiants to fully decorate and conduct the wedding. We couldn’t have been happier. The rose gardens at the gazebo were simply beautiful in June when we had our wedding.
My nephew and his now wife, had a beautiful wedding ceremony here. It has a spectacular view of the beach and was just perfect for a small celebration.
As a local photographer, I've captured numerous weddings and proposals at the Palisades Gazebo in Dana Point. This venue consistently delivers stunning backdrops and memorable moments.
I love the city of Dana Point. The Palisades Gazebo is perfect for a wedding ceremony. I celebrated my 10 year anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony. Simply gorgeous. The city of Dana Point took very good care of the planning process.
Getting married at Palisades Gazebo Park
Palisades Gazebo Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
