Top Outdoor Wedding Venues in California
Sunshine is helpful, but a great backdrop does even more of the work on your wedding day. Outdoor wedding venues in California stretch from Napa Valley vineyards and Big Sur clifftops to redwood groves in the north and garden estates around San Diego. The state's varied landscapes make it easy to choose between ocean views, rolling hills, redwood surroundings, or elegant courtyards without leaving California. Many locations also accommodate both ceremonies and receptions in one place, which can simplify planning for guests travelling from across the state. Take a look below and find an outdoor space that suits your celebration.
