Hosting a Marbella Country Club wedding gives couples access to classic Mediterranean architecture right in the rolling hills of San Juan Capistrano, California. This Orange County venue pairs terracotta accents, manicured golf course lawns, and quiet courtyard spaces to create a relaxed atmosphere for summer nuptials.
Rita and Brian chose this location for their summer celebration, taking full advantage of the coastal breeze and bright natural light.
Golden Hour Ceremony outdoors
Their ceremony took place on the open-air terrace, surrounded by palm trees and soft greenery. The warm sunshine set an inviting summer tone as family and friends gathered to watch them exchange vows.
After capturing portraits across the grounds, we moved inside as the sun dipped below the hills.
Indoor Dancing & Sparkler Send-Off
The celebration shifted into the Mediterranean-style clubhouse for dinner and open dancing. Guests kept the energy high on the dance floor late into the night.
Before making their official getaway, Rita and Brian shared a quiet, private last dance in the empty ballroom to reflect on the day. Moments later, their guests lined up outside for a brilliant sparkler exit under the night sky, capping off an unforgettable Southern California evening.
