CATALINA CASINO + DESCANSO BEACH

Why We Love Catalina Casino + Descanso Beach Club

For couples who want a true destination wedding without leaving Southern California, Catalina Island is such a special experience. Pairing the iconic Catalina Casino with Descanso Beach Club creates a full wedding weekend that feels like a vacation for you and your guests.

A built-in destination experience
Your guests take a ferry to the island, stay in Avalon, and get to enjoy a full weekend together. It instantly feels elevated, memorable, and intentional.

Iconic ceremony and reception spaces
The Catalina Casino offers stunning historic architecture and panoramic ocean views from the terrace and ballroom. It feels grand, timeless, and unique to the island.

Relaxed beach club energy
Descanso Beach Club is perfect for welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or after-parties. It brings that fun, laid-back, toes-in-the-sand vibe to balance the elegance of the Casino.

Perfect flow for a wedding weekend
We love helping couples use both venues to create a full experience, welcome party at Descanso, wedding at the Casino, and optional beach day send-off.

Unforgettable guest experience
Between the ferry ride, golf carts, ocean views, and island charm, your guests will talk about this wedding weekend for years.
