Casa del Mar
“Casa del Mar in Santa Monica is one of my favorite gems Southern California! Their Colonnade Ballroom is simply stunning. It’s definitely not your typical ballroom. This ballroom is elegant, beautiful, and traditional with a mix of contemporary style, and it was a 1920’s Beach Club. The crown molding and the hand blown chandeliers are just some of the characteristics this venue provides. The Colonnade Ballroom has a private beachfront terrace, which makes a perfect place for you to host your cocktail hour. The overall level of service you get from Casa del Mar’s staff is out of this world! The quality of food, plating design, and cuisine is award winning. If you are looking for beachfront venue, you will definitely have to check out Casa del Mar,” says Susan Dunne of Weddings by Susan Dunne.
