Celebrations Guide: California

This Celebrations Guide lists California beach vacation rentals and rental property managers with event venues, event planning services and concierge services.

Event Venues and Planning Services
While many local companies shy away from events such as beach weddings, family reunions, graduation parties and corporate retreats, this Southern California beachfront rentals company courts group gatherings.

• Five Southern California beach wedding venue rental packages (ranging from $3,500 to $15,300) include 3-night rental of one or multiple event properties, event fees, cleaning damage waiver and tax).

Each package spotlights specific properties or groups of properties that make perfect California beach wedding venues -- whether you want a simple sand-between-your-toes ceremony or a fantasy once-in-a-lifetime event including a personal chef and the services of a houseman and porter.

• Preferred vendors list. Once you have a fantastic venue locked in, you can use Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals’ extensive list of preferred vendors to plan your event.
