I recommend the Fairmont Newport Beach for hosting a wedding event because they provide high-quality, five-star service from the valet guys to the check-in hotel staff, the restaurant staff, the housekeeping staff, the banquet staff and the catering staff. You will be treated like [a] VIP. They also offer gorgeous venue locations which will no doubt impress your guests. —Niloufar Gibson

The Resort at Pelican Hill is an extraordinary place to have a wedding for so many reasons. But beyond the wedding itself, one reason that I know my clients particularly appreciate it is because there are so many diverse locations within the resort for … the welcome party, rehearsal dinner and the brunch the morning after the wedding. It makes it so easy on the couple getting married, but also everyone else attending the wedding because these other events … have been getting larger and larger, as the couple chooses to recognize those who have come a distance to attend their wedding. —Paula Laskelle
