Wedding venues with waterfalls provide a picturesque setting for couples on their big day. Some of Northern and Southern California's outdoor venues provide waterfalls as settings for ceremony, and sites for wedding photography opportunities. Most of California's wedding venue waterfalls are cascading, meaning they descend a series of rocks, or tropical, which are free-falling waterfalls similar to falls found in tropical forests.

   • The Los Angeles County Arboretum (arboretum.org) hosts outdoor weddings at its Waterfall/Meadowbrook venue. Up to 250 guests may attend a ceremony at the Arboretum. The Waterfall/Meadowbrook venue's tropical waterfall features rose gardens surrounding the seating area. The Arboretum has an on-site catering company, but wedding parties must hire floral designs and chair rentals from outside vendors. In Malibu, wedding parties may host their ceremony in front of the cascading waterfalls at Calamigos Ranch (calamigosranch.com), a 130-acre estate in the Santa Monica Mountains.
