Terranea is where the California coast shows off without even trying. Perched on those Palos Verdes cliffs, it's all dramatic ocean views, sea breezes that actually cooperate with hairstyles, and that endless blue horizon that makes everyone stop mid-conversation.

This wedding had peak Terranea moments - ceremony on the grass with nothing but Pacific Ocean as the backdrop, cocktails while dolphins literally swam by (can't make this up), and a reception where the sunset competed with the couple for attention. The sunset lost.

What's the vibe? Coastal luxury that feels relaxed. Like yes, this is a resort where people golf in the morning and spa in the afternoon, but it's also the kind of place where kids run barefoot and nobody judges you for having a third slice of wedding cake.

The best part about Terranea? It feels like a destination wedding without making your guests get on a plane. That California coastal magic is built right in - from the sound of waves during the ceremony to the fire pits where everyone ends up after dancing.

Sometimes you just need to put your wedding somewhere that makes everyone feel like they're on vacation. Mission accomplished.
