About Occasions at Laguna Village

Occasions at Laguna Village is an all-inclusive oceanfront wedding venue nestled on the cliffs of Laguna Beach, California, framed by year-round hillside gardens and surrounded by the soothing sound of the Pacific surf. Founded in 2009, the venue has spent more than 15 years specializing in oceanfront ceremonies and receptions that combine dramatic coastal scenery with comprehensive wedding planning services.

The venue is led by in-house wedding planner Dayna Lewis, who works directly with couples from initial consultation through wedding day execution. The planning philosophy centers on allowing couples to be guests at their own wedding — the venue team manages logistics, vendor coordination, timeline development, and day-of execution so couples can be present for their celebration rather than managing it.

All catering is provided exclusively by the on-site Cliff Restaurant, an award-winning Laguna Beach culinary establishment. This exclusive partnership enables seamlessly integrated coordination between event logistics and culinary service, with customizable menus for cocktail hours, reception dinners, and dessert service.

Occasions at Laguna Village has earned the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, and the Best of Zola designation in both 2025 and 2026.
