If you are looking for a beautiful historic hotel with a touch of Hollywood glam, La Valencia hotel wedding spaces are the perfect match. With its Mediterranean-style design and famous pink exterior, this place feels like pure romance. The moment you step onto the property, it’s like traveling back in time to an era full of elegance and charm. Since opening in the early 1900s, it’s been a favorite spot for Hollywood’s biggest names. Known for its signature pink look, it’s lovingly called "The Pink Lady."
La Valencia offers a couple of options for weddings; I will say it is the perfect venue for you if your guest count is no more than 120.
GETTING READY
La Valencia hotel wedding getting ready spaces are functional and of good size, with thoughtful spaces for both the bride and groom. The Vendimia Room is near the lobby but it is hidden enough not to interfere with the bride's getting ready. It’s spacious enough for 7-10 people, with room to hang suits and enjoy some snacks and drinks and it has a modern wine cellar vibe.

For the bride and her party, there’s a suite that’s both elegant and practical, with a living room, dining area, bedroom, and full bathroom. There’s even enough space for personal touches—one bride hosted a tea ceremony there before getting ready. The suite is close to the Veranda Ballroom and has a charming terrace that works perfectly for bridal party photos.
LA VALENCIA HOTEL WEDDING CEREMONY LOCATION
For the exchange of vows, ceremonies generally take place in the Rose Garden. Between the pool level and the ballroom level, this outdoor area provides a panoramic ocean view, serving as a beautiful backdrop with the hotel pool, lush greenery, palm trees, and vibrant flowers. It's the perfect choice for couples seeking a luxurious garden wedding vibe, one that can be easily personalized with the addition of florals and beautiful chairs. As you explore the garden, you'll discover a captivating mosaic known as the "Pink Lady," a masterpiece dating back to 1928. This mosaic features the portrait of a Spanish lady in a pink dress, contributing to the hotel's iconic nickname. The "Pink Lady" and the hotel's distinct pink facade, painted in the 1950s after the owners drew inspiration from the Royal Hawaiian and Boca Raton Resort & Club, create a unique and timeless atmosphere for your wedding ceremony at La Valencia Hotel.
LA VALENCIA HOTEL WEDDING COCKTAIL HOUR
As the celebration transitions to the cocktail hour, La Valencia Hotel has a couple of options. You can chose between hosting it in the Veranda Ballroom and terrace or opt for The Med, the charming patio area situated to the front of the hotel. If you're planning an intimate gathering, the terrace of the ballroom offers a perfect setting, allowing your guests to enjoy the coastal breeze and beautiful ocean view. On the other hand, The Med patio provides more space, and let your guests discover different areas of the hotel.
LA VALENCIA HOTEL WEDDING RECEPTION
For the main event, the reception takes place in the cozy Veranda Ballroom. This inviting space is connected to a terrace, offering a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor elements with abundant windows that frame the breathtaking ocean view. If you've chosen to extend your cocktail hour to the terrace and foyer of the ballroom, the attentive staff makes sure to close the curtains that separate the ballroom and foyer upon your guests' arrival, allowing a grand reveal as dinner service approaches!
