Picking the Perfect Beach...
for an Orange County Wedding
There are dozens of wonderful beach locations for
a wedding in Orange County but the sites I have
listed are some of my favorites.

Permits often depend on the number of people
attending your ceremony and the beach's location.
Call the contact numbers below for specific
information or call me and I can help you pick just
the right beach for your ceremony.
Newport has many beaches, as well as Lookout Point and
Inspiration Point, which are down the street from each other and are
perfect locations for a small wedding. The parks are on a bluff
overlooking the ocean and the end of Newport Harbor. No permits
are granted but the city allows small weddings of no more than 50
guests without setups (no tents, chairs, music, etc.). Photographers
are required to have a permit. Call (949) 644-3151.
