Ocean Breeze. Historic Charm.
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Casino San Clemente is a historic venue in San Clemente, California, where you can host an unforgettable wedding celebration. Designed in emulation of the casino on Catalina Island, this property first opened in 1937 and features a truly unique ambiance. Throughout its years in operation, the casino welcomed orchestras and Hollywood stars such as Judy Garland. This is the perfect place to tie the knot if you're looking for a setting that is full of charm and has a touch of magic.
Facilities and Capacity
Casino San Clemente has four spaces couples can choose from to host the big day of their dreams. Start your day off right in the elegant bridal suite, where you and your party can relax and prepare for the festivities. The decor inside is a blend of contemporary and timeless styles, reminiscent of the era in which it was first built. Each room in the building is unique, but they are all designed cohesively for the most refined effect. Exchange vows in the intimate Rock Garden, featuring a historical fireplace, market lights, and carefully curated landscaping throughout. The West Wing is the perfect cocktail hour setting, with rustic modern Spanish Colonial Revival interiors and ocean views. For your reception, The Grand Ballroom is ideal for the ultimate celebration of love. Dine and dance the night away under the iconic domed ceilings and on the original dance floor. Across these spaces, you can welcome up to 250 of your friends and family. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to celebrate al fresco, The Patio of the Stars is the perfect choice with oceanside scenery, an outdoor fireplace to set the mood, and star-shaped tiles paying tribute to Hollywood's heyday.

AMAZING VENUE! Very professional staff that makes it so easy to book the event and helps with every step of the way. Not only is the site gorgeous but parking, restrooms, etc are a...
ll easy for guests. The Casino flows so well from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. All our guests commented that it was such an amazing venue and right by the beach for sunset photos! Very private too! The photos look stunning! I also loved the history of the venue and so did a lot of guests. We leaned into the vintage vibe for our wedding theme and I could not be happier. This is such an incredible wedding venue, I could not recommend highly enough!

ast minute details. Our day was absolutely one of a kind and so special! This location is wonderful for those looking for a beachy vibe that still feels intimate. They have plenty of spaces for reception and ceremony, and bar packages that are super budget friendly! We ended up doing a set bar limit and added an increase during the reception. San Clemente is a special place for both of us, and with the Casino we truly had the best day of our lives here.

The staff at The Casino San Clemente was absolutely fabulous to work with. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to change my daughter's wedding venue just 21 days prior to her w...
edding date. As you can imagine, it was quite a stressful experience for us, and the flexibility and expertise of Christy, Cindy and Linda helped us in so many ways. Absolutely no one would have known that this wedding was re-planned in a span of just two short weeks. The lovely historical venue was very spacious (with a backup plan for rain!) and clean and inviting. The "day of" staff was attentive and detailed, the bar staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the security staff was comforting and professional. All deserving of a 5 star in my book! Highly recommend this venue!
