The sandy beaches of Manhattan Beach are available for a ceremony a short walk from Verandas Beach House (we're just above the public lot on 34th st).

For the reception afterward, we can help you celebrate with 225 of your closest family members and friends!

We're open to helping you have a beach ceremony if this is your dream approach. However, the reality is that most people who consider it decide instead to go with a garden ceremony due to:

1. Permitting requirements. The window for getting a permit on the public beach is still not very long, so often you have to book well ahead of knowing if the beach ceremony will be approved
2. The ceremony is on the public beach. You won't be able to control (other than with polite asks) what happens in the background between the ceremony area and the surf.
3. It's often windy!
4. The short walk up the hill often requires arranging shuttles and other transportation aids for guests who may need assistance
