Just a little west of Los Angeles’s busy urban sprawl lies quiet Malibu, a city of paradisiacal beaches and lush mountains. It’s no surprise, then, that Malibu is a hotspot for picturesque weddings for people from all walks of life. Malibu Creek State Park is a gorgeous location for pre-nuptial photoshoots and also ceremonies because of the scenic mountain landscapes. If you’re both lovers of seafood, Malibu Pier is a fantastic spot for a memorable sunset ceremony. Afterward, you and up to 200 guests can dig in and have a fulfilling dinner made using fresh local catch and produce.
Malibu is also a splendid choice for same-sex weddings as the state laws are supportive of these unions. Just make sure to follow standard procedures such as obtaining required licenses.
