The Charms of a Waterfront Wedding Venue

Top 4 Reasons to Host Your Wedding on the Water

If you’re getting married soon - first, our congratulations! Second, you need to pick a venue! There are so many options when it comes to wedding venues, from stately banquet halls and houses of worship to casual community centers and all-inclusive resorts. But here at Marina del Rey, we believe that a waterfront wedding venue is the best - and it’s easy to see why! Waterfront wedding venues are flexible, gorgeous, and fun.
But you don’t have to just take our word for it. We’ve rounded up the top four reasons why you should say “I do” at a charming waterfront venue. Check them out below!

1. You can’t beat the view.

If you’re getting married on the water, you never have to worry about finding the right backdrop for the
photos - it’s right there! Here at Marina del Rey, you can use our picturesque dock for intimate photos or say your vows with the beauty of the Long Island Sound as your background. No matter what angle you pick, the photos are bound to be amazing.

2. You don’t have to worry about decorating as much.

When you get married in a typical banquet hall or event venue, you have to put in a lot of time and effort (or money) to make sure it looks the way you want it to for your special day. But when you pick
Marina del Rey, Mother Nature has done your decorating for you. You don’t have to worry about livening up the space with flowers or balloons when you have our well-kept grounds and amazing view to take in.

3. You have indoor/outdoor flexibility.

On a glorious summer day, an indoor wedding can seem like a waste of wonderful weather. But if the weather is anything short of glorious, you might not get the wedding of your dreams. At a waterfront wedding venue like Marina del Rey, you have less to worry about. While the weather is nice, you can hold the festivities outdoors, which means you can enjoy cocktails in our grotto or hold the ceremony in the wedding pavilion. As the night wears on, move indoors for a formal sit-down dinner and dancing without having to worry about the weather turning. 

4. Get the beauty of a beach wedding without the stress of a destination wedding.

Many people choose beach weddings because they love the idea of having the water as the backdrop - but often, beach weddings are a lot of hassle. They typically have to be destination weddings, which makes them more expensive and shrinks the guest list. Loved ones may object to a beach wedding’s inherent informality. But when you pick a waterfront wedding venue like Marina del Rey, you get the beautiful backdrop without the hassle and expense - and your wedding can be as formal as you please.

As we all look ahead to the holidays, the COVID-19 rate across New York continues to rise, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on November 11th that group gatherings in a private residence should be limited to ten people or fewer. New Yorkers are thinking of different ways to celebrate with family, friends, and coworkers while still maintaining social distancing and following CDC guidelines. While your holiday plans have to change, Marina del Rey can help make your celebration safe, merry, and bright. Whether your employees work from home or not, planning a holiday party will look different this year.

Thanksgiving dinner is one of the biggest meals of the year and it kicks off the holiday season, often with a big family gathering. Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, overindulging in delicious food and spending time with your family. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and for a lot of people, much more. Every family has their own traditions, but the most important thing is to spend time together talking, catching up, and making new memories. Now, more than ever, it is important to prioritize your precious time with your loved ones. While some families spend the whole day in anticipation while they smell their meal cooking, it is usually a select few who are under pressure to prepare all the dishes, and desserts—those pies won’t be making themselves after all—and that includes getting the timing for everything right.
