Unforgettable Receptions
Let the scenic beauty and charm of the Embassy Suites – Mandalay Beach Resort provide an unforgettable backdrop for your wedding or special celebration. Our beachfront hotel is one of the most beautiful locations in Southern California and is steeped in history, combining Spanish-Mediterranean décor with contemporary elegance. Our hotel was designed to keep the surrounding natural beauty in sight, with breathtaking views of the Pacific Coast and Channel Islands Harbor. Whether you’re planning an extravagant celebration for 350 or a private get-together for 30, our event spaces are perfectly suited for your wedding reception or special event. We offer breathtaking outdoor ceremonies on our beachfront lawn or lovely waterfall garden courtyard as well as elegant receptions in our ballroom.
BEACH CEREMONY
If you’ve always dreamed of a beach wedding, let your dreams be fulfilled at Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Resort. Our facility is one of the only venues in Ventura County where you can have your ceremony on the beach overlooking the shimmering blue Pacific Ocean. Our entire venue is right next to the ocean, and almost every ceremony here takes place seaside on the Presidential Lawn which is on a wide semicircle of grass that slopes gently down to the sand.
GARDEN CEREMONY
If you prefer a garden ceremony, have your ceremony in our Waterfall Garden Courtyard which is accented with colorful flowers, lush foliage, and palm trees. This truly romantic space has a waterfall and splendid scenery. Although the ocean is not visible from this setting, the tranquil sounds of the waterfall will make the perfect backdrop for your garden wedding. Our beautiful Garden Courtyard is the perfect setting to capture those memories that will be cherished for years to come.
BALLROOM RECEPTIONS
Two elegant ballrooms are available for your wedding or special event. Wedding receptions are usually held in either the Embassy Ballroom upstairs or the larger Mandalay Ballroom on the ground floor. Both ballrooms are decorated in contemporary elegance with tropical colors and lovely wrought iron chandeliers. The space includes an outdoor terrace where guests can mingle and enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, making it the perfect ambiance for your most memorable day.

If you’re planning a small reception or rehearsal dinner, reserve Capistrano’s, the Embassy Suites’ award-winning restaurant. This space reflects the resort’s Spanish-Mediterranean style better than any other; an arcaded courtyard, it has a terracotta flagstone floor, 50-foot ceiling, and windows all around the top with tiny balconies and wrought-iron railings. Thanks to all the light pouring in, the giant potted ficus trees are thriving, as are the lush pothos vines flowing out of the fountain in the restaurant’s center. At the entrance to Capistrano’s, the semiprivate Wine Room (named for the wine bottles that line its walls), is also available for intimate dinners.
