Wedding places in los angeles

It's interesting:
"At a time of the year when so much of the life around us is being born and renewed, how appropriate it is that we have gathered on this day to witness Paul and Linda begin their new journey as husband and wife. Spring truly is the season of hope and love, and a great symbol of new beginnings...and I could not imagine a better time to plan such a very special event. For the rest of our lives, I don't believe anyone here could ever think of Spring time without having great memories of today and thinking wonderful and loving thoughts about the two of you."

As befits a major American city located on Southern California's stunning Pacific coast, Los Angeles offers a vast array of unique and exotic sites that are ideal for wedding ceremonies. From the sumptuous to the just plain creepy, here are some outside-of-the-box ideas for places where iconoclastic couples can tie-the-knot in and around the City of Angels.

1. Santa Monica Pier

   • There's something undeniably romantic about a couple exchanging vows barefoot on the beach while the salty surf crashes lightly at their feet, and the beach at Santa Monica is among the city's most picturesque. For the reception, high-rollers can step it up a notch by hosting it on the nearby Santa Monica pier. This local landmark features 12 carnival rides --- including the world's first solar-powered Ferris wheel --- as well as games of chance. Gueats can dine on such park favorites such as corn dogs and funnel cakes (although custom catering and full bar packages can also be arranged).

   The Castle Green

   • Located just east of L.A. in nearby Pasadena, the Castle Green is renowned as one of the area's most recognizable and unique landmarks, a seven-story castle that blends Moorish, Spanish and Victorian influences. A "film-friendly" location that has been used in numerous feature films and TV series, the Castle Green is also a popular wedding locale, and its Palm Terrace ballroom is fully equipped to handle wedding receptions. The meticulously landscaped grounds and lush gardens are an ideal backdrop for wedding pictures.

   Red Horse Barn

   • A more rustic wedding-day experience can be found at the Red Horse Barn, a privately owned horse ranch in Huntington Beach, that exudes the natural beauty of Southern California. The event area is located in a secluded courtyard, which contains a multitude of white roses, a quaint gazebo and a rock fountain. The outdoor lawn can accommodate as many as 400 guests, who can also access a beautifully designed interior room replete with comfy couches, a roaring fireplace and restrooms. The most popular feature, however, is that the Red Horse Barn offers horseback riding for its guests, adding an equestrian flair to any wedding celebration.

   Hollywood Forever

   • Getting married in a cemetery has some pretty obviously spooky connotations, but Hollywood Forever isn't your typical graveyard. The final resting place of some of Hollywood's brightest stars, screen legends such as Rudolph Valentino and Jayne Mansfield are laid to rest within the picturesque tranquility of this iconic cemetery. A popular spot that can be rented out for parties and events (including weddings), Hollywood Forever may not suit the tastes of every couple, but it certainly guarantees wedding guests a night that won't soon be forgotten.
