Situated between Newport and Laguna Beach, on a sprawling 504-acre site, lies the ultra-exclusive The Resort at Pelican Hill. “The Resort at Pelican Hill will be unparalleled in its beauty and commitment to providing a guest experience that is truly extraordinary, from the distinctive and refined architecture to the gracious and personalized service,” said Ralph Grippo, president of The Irvine Company Resort Properties. “The resort is being created piece by piece, detail by detail, and will emerge as a masterpiece of the art of hospitality.”

Boasting 204 bungalow rooms and suites with terraces, 128 villas with appointed personal butlers, two 18-hole golf courses designed by Tom Fazio, a coliseum-style pool, various dining experiences, and a 23,000-square-foot spa, the resort is a natural choice for hosting weddings. With your option of La Cappella—an indoor venue complete with a fireplace—or the lawn—with its iconic rotunda, both have sprawling ocean views. On the day of the wedding couples are ensconced in a private bridal lounge where they are pampered with a personal butler that works in hand with the concierge to ensure that every wish is met, ending the night in a two-bedroom villa compliments of the resort.
