Just one more reason to be sure to contact a member of the Palos Verdes Association of Realtors for all of your real estate needs.

Los Angeles Wedding Venue: Los Verdes Golf Club | Life, Love ...

Exploring the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s wedding venues has long been on my “to do” list and I finally had the opportunity to visit one a couple weeks ago! I’d heard a lot of mixed reviews about the Los Verdes Golf Course (LVGC) so I didn’t quite know what to expect when I arrived for a wedding industry mixer event on Tuesday evening. I’m happy to report that I was more than pleasantly surprised! You should definitely pay a visit to LVGC if you’re considering getting married in this area!

When I first arrived, I was happy to see Jackie Lowe. I’d met Jackie in 2009 when I coordinated a wedding at Park Plaza near Downtown Los Angeles. She was working for Park Plaza at the time and was a dream to work with. Now, Jackie is working at LVGC and they (as well as all LVGC brides) should realize how lucky they are to have her on their team!

Walking around the venue, I quickly noticed all the potential this space actually has. Now, to the untrained eye, the LVGC may not seem like much. But there are a few things that engaged couples should consider when visiting the venue:

1. The things that can’t be changed about a venue are spectacular — for example, the view. You can always hide a wall by adding some draping,  but you can’t pay any extra to add a view like this to your wedding venue. The ballroom has a panoramic view of the golf course, ocean and on a clear day, Catalina Island.

2. Ceremony Options — there are several spaces at this venue for you to hold a ceremony. Weather you always pictured getting married under a gazebo, on a golf course, or with a spectacular ocean view in the background, LVGC has you covered!

3. Affordability –  because this venue gives you a lot of “bang for your buck” (considering your surroundings!), you can put extra money towards decor and personalizing the space. You know those amazing linens you’ve seen in bridal magazines? You can actually afford those by saving money on your banquet and reception costs!

If you’re thinking of getting married in the Los Verdes/Palos Verdes/South Bay area, consider setting up a meeting with Jackie and the team at LVGC — you won’t be disappointed with the options, flexibility and jaw-dropping beauty the space has to offer. Happy venue-hunting!
