Lomas Santa Fe Country Club

Set on a hill just a few miles from the blue Pacific, Lomas Santa Fe Country Club is an in-demand wedding location for good reason: The landscaped grounds are an open-air delight, and the newly renovated indoor spaces lend a fresh, contemporary sophistication to events.

As guests arrive, they step through solid oak doors into the lobby, which has the inviting ambiance of a casual-chic living room. Crisp white walls and furniture clad in an elegant cobalt blue fabric provide a cool contrast to the warm, pine-beamed ceiling high overhead.

Ceremonies are typically held outdoors to take advantage of the stunning ocean vista and almost year-round fabulous weather. And if you want to make a grand entrance, you'll have the perfect opportunity here: A gently terraced walkway leads from the clubhouse down to the golf course where your seated guests wait in anticipation. As you slowly descend, all eyes will be on you! Vows are exchanged on an expansive lawn, with acres of tree-studded fairways and a distant ocean view as your backdrop. Time your ceremony just right, and you'll also have a gorgeous sunset.

While the wedding party poses for photos wherever they like on the grounds,
