We love the expansive and luxurious spaces of the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort located in the Orange County.  The full service resort offers both indoor and outdoor spaces that are fit for an intimate wedding as well as a large scale Indian Wedding & Reception.  As wedding designers & planners we love Monarch Beach resort as it provides a great foundation to build upon when creating for our bride and groom’s California Wedding and Reception.  We absolutely love the Hall of Mirrors and the Grand Staircase as it exemplifies the grandeur and beauty of the resort and provides the best location for our bride and groom’s couple, bridal party and family photos.

The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort is a dream wedding destination for many bride and grooms. This luxurious ocean view resort is located on the Pacific Coast in Dana Point and is known to be the “Best O.C.
