A country club and estate wedding has long been a time-honored tradition for couples with family ties to a venue. They also generally provide picturesque backdrops featuring expansive green spaces and open sky views. Perfect for all gatherings, many of our Oceanside golf courses and estates make event planning easy with catering included.

Historic Settings

With so many changes in life, it’s nice to know that historic sites will remain a constant. If you want to return to the site where you got married years down the road, you’ll have the comfort of knowing there will be little change. There is a certain air of sophistication that pairs with historic buildings. When you throw your wedding celebrations at venues that have history, you add a touch of class to your event.
