Beautiful Wedding Sites in Half Moon Bay, CA

L. V. Paganini
Congratulations! are in order because you're getting married. Your wedding is a very important event in your life and the wedding venue you choose for your ceremony and reception is critical.

Will you marry on the beach...at a winery or in a vineyard...in a hotel...in a ballroom or in the garden at a Victorian home? Wedding sites can be found just about everywhere. Ceremonies are sometimes done at the same site as the reception; often the ceremony will be held outdoors at one venue, then move (on the same property) so the reception is held indoors. Ceremonies are still done in temples and churches with the receptions being held at a variety of places.

This article will mention a few beautiful wedding sites in Half Moon Bay California. Half Moon Bay is a charming seaside village only half an hour from San Francisco and also convenient to Silicon Valley. You and your guests can enjoy beautiful beaches and a myriad of activities before and after your nuptials. (NOTE: Traffic can be very heavy at times; please advise your guests to allow plenty of driving time to/from your ceremony and/or a reception location if they're not staying nearby.)

The first beautiful wedding site is the Half Moon Bay Lodge. Overlooking the Half Moon Bay Golf Links, this facility offers guest rooms plus several meeting rooms for various wedding events. Their smaller rooms are ideal for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner; they can hold from 10 to 60 people. Some of these rooms feature vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and private patios or gardens. Imagine a banquet style wedding reception on their pool patio - they can handle up to 100 guests there. Staff members will work with you and the Half Moon Bay Golf Links to create golf related events before and after your nuptials. Hotel amenities include a fitness center, swimming pool and whirlpool, a dry sauna and a guest library. (Visit halfmoonbaylodge.com for details.)

Another beautiful wedding venue is the Four Diamond Award Winning Mill Rose Inn. Outside, you'll find beautiful gardens bursting with color year round, with classic European elegance and service on the inside. There are several places for your ceremony and/or reception with guest capacity varying from 20 to 150 persons. French doors lead from the dining room to lovely gardens on either side of the room so your guests can mingle throughout during your reception. Their flagstone courtyard is perfect for smaller weddings or pre/post nuptial parties. The Mill Rose Inn staff will work with you to personalize your special day. You can work with their preferred list of vendors or provide your own. Currently there are no corkage fees when you bring your own liquor but please confirm that. Every guestroom has a special name and theme for its décor with a fireplace in most rooms. They also feature cable TV, phones, European feather beds with high thread count sheets, private entrances, and private bathrooms with claw foot tubs and hand-painted sinks. (Please visit millroseinn .com for more information.)

The next beautiful wedding venue is Cetrella Restaurant on Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay. Reserve one of their smaller rooms for an intimate wedding reception or rehearsal dinner or book the entire eatery for a large reception. Mediterranean themed menu selections might include a wood fired foccacia, butter poached Maine lobster, or an artichoke and porcini risotto. Cetrella also offers the Liquid Sky Ocean Front Estate, a sister property, which features a ceremony site on bluffs high above the Pacific Ocean with spectacular views of the California coastline. Following a ceremony at Liquid Sky Ocean, you and your guests might enjoy an elegant reception at Cetrella's. Their event planner will work with you to plan a unique and memorable wedding day at either or both locations. (Check out cetrella.com for additional information)

Many of these wedding venues book up very quickly, sometimes 18 to 24 months in advance. Please be sure to reserve your beautiful wedding site as early as possible.
