    • Spaces for 200 Guests

    For decades, the iconic Carlsbad Windmill has been a major tourist attraction in Carlsbad by the Sea, the archetypal Southern California beach town. This historic structure has a lovely hotel, a hip urban food hall, and a cutting-edge event area. Locals in SoCal are always surprised to find this hidden gem just on their doorstep! Your special day begins in the luxurious get-ready suites, where you can unwind with your closest friends. Then you'll take a stroll through the picture-perfect gardens, listening to the lovely birdsong while admiring the mature paperbark trees that tower over you. As you go into the ceremony space, you'll notice that the light-filled space always seems breezy, thanks to the bright light wells and cathedral ceilings, which keep the room cool even in the hottest months. The elegant draping that becomes the center point for your vows is set off by the contemporary building with exposed urban beams and sophisticated lighting. To finish the appearance, add an on-trend geometric arch. For those who dream of an outdoor ceremony, the open-air courtyard is the perfect setting, a secluded patio framed by tall palms, bistro lights, a white fireplace, and lush hedging, flowing seamlessly into cocktail hour beneath a SoCal sunset. The old-world windmill appearance contrasts beautifully with the modern inside. Dark wood beams and floors adorn this spacious yet pleasant space, which is enlivened by dual aspect windows. The built-in bar is complemented with a library corner with vintage books and sofas. This venue offers a good time with seating for 200 people for supper or dancing on the hardwood dancefloor. The Carlsbad Windmill makes it simple to get candid images of your friends as well as beautiful portraits. We recommend a five-minute trip to the beach for shots of the magnificent sandstone cliffs and the glistening Pacific Ocean, or a visit to the neighboring Carlsbad Flower Fields, which are bursting with every color bloom conceivable.
