From the sand to the city, Los Angeles wedding venues are some of the best and most unique to host a wedding at. Thanks to the *almost* always perfect weather and unrivaled light in LA, getting married here, in a setting that fits you, is possible all year long. From your toes in the sand, to classic vineyards, to architectural masterpieces, Los Angeles has it all. While there are many decisions to be made during the wedding planning process, one of the most important investments you will make is your wedding venue. The space and ambiance you choose sets the tone for your wedding. Great venues tend to get booked up within 12-18 months in advance, so choosing which season you want to get married in could greatly effect your venue. Go with whichever is more important to you – weather or a dream venue and start searching from there!
