Stunning venue, true professionalism

We were sold on La Valencia because of the stunning property, but we were blown away by how wonderful of an experience it was to get married there. We've heard horror stories from friends about their venues, particularly during the pandemic. However, with Bobby and team, every meeting was filled with laughter and excitement, and the wedding day was perfection. The hotel's ocean views and historic building made our photos unreal, our guests haven't stopped talking about the food and service (six months later!) and we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else.

The "pink lady" will forever be special to us -- and think you should get married there too!

La Valencia was the absolute best venue we could have asked for!

I can’t say enough good things about our entire experience with our wedding process at La Valencia. Bobby & Rebecca were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were quick to respond to our questions and always made time for us to stop by the hotel if we needed to get eyes on something for the planning process. When it came to the actual wedding day, it was an absolute dream! Bobby & his team made sure every detail was taken care of, and we truly felt like everything was under control so that we could enjoy getting ready and spending time with family/friends. Ian took incredible care of me and my husband during the reception and was readily available at all times for any requests or questions that we had. The entire staff at La V was so professional and incredible throughout the entire day, and made us feel so special! The service at the cocktail hour, dinner and the reception was amazing, and our guests complimented the food countless times!

We also did a mini-moon at La Valencia right after the wedding, and it was such a relaxing few days! We spent most afternoons relaxing at the pool, and Mike did an excellent job making sure we were well taken care of at all times. We’re still over the moon about our entire experience, which has made us fall in love with the hotel! We can’t wait to come back for many, many more visits.

Amazing wedding at the La V

We had such an incredible wedding at the La Valencia! We can't recommend this venue enough. Working with Bobby and Rebecca was wonderful and they both made the process smooth and seamless. They were always quick to respond to my emails and calls and gave detailed answers about the questions I was asking.

Not only are the views and the setting gorgeous, our guests raved about the food and the hospitality of all of the staff members. We're already planning our anniversary trip back! I'd recommend the La Valencia to any couple planning their big day without hesitation - you won't regret it!
