Outdoor wedding venues in Los Angeles, you say? Those are actually our favorites. LA is such a beautiful city, no wonder you want to get married out in the open, with the lovely weather above your head and nature present all around you. Have you thought about what type of venue you’d like to book yet? There are patios, gardens, entire venues, and spaces which are partly sheltered (a very good alternative if you’re worried about the weather not being the greatest on your special day), as well as many more. You can even celebrate your marriage on a boat if you wish (more on that later). If you’re having trouble choosing what type of venue you’d like to have, then remember to keep in mind these top tips:

 

• Budget. What price are you willing to pay for an outdoor wedding venue in LA? Our locations come in all shapes and sizes, and thanks to that so does the difference in prices. Make sure to talk to your spouse, or whoever is helping to fund the wedding, about the price to be spent on the wedding venue. Some event spaces will offer prices per guest, while others may want you to pay a rental fee upfront no matter how many people decide to come to your wedding. If you want to save a bit of money, then we suggest a couple of things. Firstly, make sure to ask the host of the venue about a BYOB option, which will be perfect for saving money on alcohol, or even food if you plan to bring external catering. (Some people even opt to cook their own food if they have an intimate wedding party, it’s a very cute way to celebrate your special day!). However, do keep in mind that venues might ask for a corkage fee, or a cleaning fee (if food or cake are involved). Another way to save some money is negotiating a discount. If you’re having a particularly big wedding, or rent the space well in advance, then the host might offer a small discount on your behalf.

• Guest List. Have you thought about who you’re going to invite? Are you planning to have a small and intimate wedding, or are you going to opt for a big celebration? There are some very nice big outdoor wedding spaces in LA, such as this outdoor garden, right in the heart of Los Angeles. Invite up to 300 people, and celebrate around the palm trees under the City of Angels’ sky. Decide whether the wedding is more family friendly, or if you’re opting for a more mature celebration. If you plan to invite children, then we recommend investing in professional child care for the kids to be taken care of. 

• Location. Los Angeles offers many outdoor venues in various parts of the city. Decide whether you prefer to stay close to LA’s Downtown, or if you actually want to stick to some different areas such as Marina del Rey (and here you can rent the gorgeous wedding yachts), or perhaps you’d prefer to head further up north to the areas of Hollywood, or even Glendale. After choosing the guest list, make sure to keep in mind who’s coming out of town, and how they will get to the wedding venue. It’s a good option to keep the event space in an easily accessible space. Of course, it might be hard to please everyone, but you wouldn’t want to have the means of transport to the wedding venue an inconvenience for everyone.

• Decorations. You’re most likely going to want to decorate the wedding venue. Think about how you’d like it to look like, and what type of decorations you’d like to see inside (or outside). Are you going to go for some beautiful flower arrangements? Or are you opting for some DIY, Pinterest inspired decor? Take inspiration from different sources, whether it’s the internet, magazines or recommendations from friends or family. Sometimes the decor can be the total make or break of the wedding space, so choose wisely!
