Destination Wedding – How to Host an Unforgettable Wedding Weekend in Newport Beach
Your Travel Guide @ Beachview Vacations
June 24, 2021
Newport Beach is the perfect place for a destination wedding. It’s conveniently located, while also giving you unique and thrilling experiences usually associated with faraway countries.
But getting hitched in a faraway place is stressful and usually chops guest lists into smithereens! Our suggestion: marry the love of your life in Newport Beach. Whether you hold your ceremony on the shores of Crystal Cove or the chic venues of Newport Coast, you and your guests will leave a little tanner, (perhaps a little hungover), and a whole lot happier! Here are our favorite spots to stay, sip, and celebrate over a wedding weekend in Newport Beach.

Skip the Hotel & Stay in a
Newport Beach Vacation Home
Newport’s best restaurants, brunches, and beaches are all located on the three mile-long Balboa Peninsula. So go ahead and forego the isolated hotel scene and book a bunch of vacation homes on the peninsula for you and your guests! Plenty of these rentals come with ocean views, rooftop decks, and plush interiors, so the celebrating never has to stop! Grill up a seafood spread, host sunset happy hours, and frolic to the beach just a few steps away from your front door! And the best part of all is that your guests will be able to walk and bike to all of the food, shopping, and entertainment they could want. Trust us: happy wedding guests = a better wedding!
For hassle-free, fully-stocked vacation homes, book a home through Beachview. (They have the best on the peninsula!)

Dock and Dine on a Duffy Boat: These 12-seater electric boats are easy-peasy to captain and make for the most festive afternoons! Champagne, charcuterie board, and bluetooth speakers are a must on these vessels! While living it up, you’ll glide past the multi-million dollar mansions and spot the sunning sea lions that love to tan on moored sailboats. If you’re getting bored of the water, dock and explore Balboa Island, the Fun Zone, or Lido Marina Village. You can even stop at any of the waterfront restaurants for a bite to eat. If you rent from Duffy Electric Boats or Lido Marina Village Electric Boat Rentals, you can’t go wrong!

Wine Taste Like a Local
Newport Beach Vineyards & Winery is Newport Beach’s best-kept secret! Hidden in the upper Newport Back Bay, this 3.5 acre estate not only grows its own wine but it has opened its doors to share its award-winning libations! Book a tasting for 8 or more of your guests and tour the grounds, enjoy a cheese spread, and taste the single-varietal wines they have crafted, all in the most gorgeous setting in Newport. To begin booking your tour, email the fine people of NBVW at Info@nbwine.com. P.S. They even host weddings for up to 60 guests!
Wedding Weekend Workout
After all of the celebrating, your guests will want to be sure they can still fit into their wedding ceremony finery! Workouts to the rescue! In Newport, that means a coastal hike with a 180 degree, panoramic view of the Pacific. Head down PCH to Crystal Cove State Park, and there you’ll find beautiful, widely paved paths that will lead you to some stunning vistas. You’ll have to sweat for the view, though, because the quick elevation gain is no joke! If you go early in the day, you’ll have a nice marine layer of fog to keep you and your guests cool, because goodness knows a sunburn is the last thing you need!
