It is such a pleasure reading through your posts; I’m truly glad this community exists.

I am also getting married this year, though we’ve only just begun the whirlwind of planning. If all goes according to our vision, we hope to officially tie the knot this coming September.

That said, I’ve run into a bit of a dilemma. I suffer from quite a severe case of claustrophobia, and frankly, the idea of being stuck in a banquet hall makes me incredibly uneasy. My heart is set on an outdoor ceremony—somewhere open and airy, perhaps a sprawling meadow, a vineyard, or an orchard out in the California countryside. Does anyone have any suggestions for potential venues or specific local regulations I should be aware of? Truly, any ideas, advice, or even a little guidance would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks in advance to you all.

Well, it all kind of depends on how many people you're thinking and what vibe you want for the wedding/party, right?
If you're going for something "modern" with a smaller guest list, you could always just rent a massive vacation house that has a huge yard, a pool, and all that stuff.

Here are some cool weddings I've been to so far that might give you some ideas:
- Castillo de San Marcos
- Getty Villa
- The White House
- The Breakers
- A Cruise ship (swimming, lunch, partying)
- A vacation rental up in Malibu (far from neighbors, killer views, big courtyard, a huge indoor space just in case it rains, and a pool)

...you just have to keep in mind that the weather can be super unpredictable, especially in September, so you might get hit with a downpour and you definitely need a backup plan to tuck everyone away indoors.

Update: my bad, I assumed you were in San Francisco so I was suggesting spots around the SF area.

Rachel Williams said:A colleague of mine is the best man for a wedding and he’s tasked with organizing a bachelor party down in Split. The whole group consists of Austrians who don't speak a word of American, so they're effectively flying blind. I visited St twice a long time ago, but my husband hasn't been once, so neither of us can be much help here. Are there any local Americans or Dalmatian women around who could offer some guidance so we can pass the info along? Where do guys usually hold these things in St? Which clubs are actually safe? Where can you find a decent atmosphere? And most importantly, how does one avoid those hospitality workers who treat foreigners like sheep arriving at a shearing shed?
Thanks 🙂

So, here’s how Austin Thompson96 replied... lately, the move seems to be renting some big house out in the middle of nowhere just to get hammered and grill out, then heading out for some paintball or whatever during the day.

I don't know exactly how many people we're talking about here, but there's always the option to just rent out a excursion boat if the group is big enough—or maybe even a smaller yacht if you want to feel fancy. You could spend the whole day just cruising around and swimming, then head over to Maui or somewhere similar in the evening to actually hit the clubs and party... I guess.

I think this has already been brought up before.

Honestly, some of the best weddings I’ve ever been to were the ones where he was on the decks. I’ve probably hit about ten of "his" weddings by now. People weren't just dancing; they were losing their minds having a blast. Every time an old classic would come on, I’d find myself digging through my phone right after the reception to download it so I could blast it in my car later...

The bride and groom usually sit down with him beforehand and hammer out exactly what kind of music they want played.
The reason people respect him is because he actually sticks to the setlist. Like, if they don't want country music, he won't touch it, no matter how much some guest at the party begs him to play it.

But look, if the couple misjudges their own guests—like, they request indie rock but everyone else wants classic country—you can't really pin that on the DJ.

I’ve even been to weddings where the couple explicitly told the DJ, "Hey, do NOT play Thompson," but he’d go ahead and drop a track anyway because he could just "feel" the energy dying and knew it would save the night. And honestly? He’d be right; that song would totally kick the party back into gear. But then you have the newlyweds coming up to him afterward, all pissed off, complaining that he broke the deal because even if the guests love Thompson, *they* absolutely can't stand him... so, either way, someone ends up unhappy.

Honestly, these kinds of weddings are popping up everywhere lately. 🙂

The biggest headache is usually that the couple is terrified of what their parents will think. To a lot of them, a beach party just doesn't feel like a "real" wedding, and they get all stressed out worrying about what the neighbor or some random auntie might say.
Please don't take this as a dig at you personally, 🙂 I'm just speaking generally here.

Have you ever thought about doing something on a boat cruising from San Francisco out toward Maui, Martha's Vineyard, or maybe some small island in the Pacific? You could board in the morning, cruise toward Maui or Martha's Vineyard... have a quick little ceremony, and then just party, grill out, and swim wherever the boat drops anchor. I'm talking about those excursion boats they run for tourists in the summer.

There are also these great houses with pools and private catering setups in Malibu that you can rent out for weddings. Since they aren't right in the middle of downtown San Francisco, you can just arrange for some shuttles to run back and forth between the house and the city a few times during the night for anyone who wants to drink a bit too much and doesn't want to deal with driving. A couple of my friends actually pulled off something like this once, and honestly, it was awesome.

velvetwolf6 said:Yeah, even Dupli is pricey on top of everything else, let alone paying for two DJs. 😵 Those kinds of Aunties and relatives are definitely going to be there—so really, the question is whether the two of us will be drunk enough to allow that kind of chaos. It'll be tough, but hey, you never know.
If anyone has another DJ recommendation—someone with Dupli's vibe but who isn't quite so stubborn when things get critical with the crowd 😁

Maybe the price is staying the same because he brings that other DJ along with him.😉

I've run into that guitarist from Lite Motive stepping in as a DJ a few times before (the guy on the right in this photo: http://cdn.litemotive.com/photos/lit...estivali_9.jpg). The couples seemed super happy with him since he kept the 90s hits flowing, but unfortunately, I don't catch his name.

velvetwolf6 said:The two of us definitely aren't looking for local folk or polka vibes. We're thinking more along the lines of 80s hits—both American and international... classic rock, pop, those timeless tracks, maybe something like 😁. As for whether the guests will actually dig the selection, we'll have to wait and see. Based on the chatter here, it sounds like Smith fits that exact mold. I also saw DJ Khaled bragging about it, but I can't find a single thing about him online—any idea what genre he actually plays??

Dupli has this strict rule where he won't touch country, folk, Jola, Britney Spears, Bulić, Thompson, or anything like that. You couldn't bribe him or talk him into playing that stuff even if you tried, no matter how much cash Auntie from Germany is throwing at him because she just wants to hear one song for the soul, you know? Like some old classic about the Mississippi River or whatever.

That’s actually one of the main reasons couples pick him—besides the fact that it makes sense if you want to put together a solid set and actually get people dancing.

Honestly, Dupli blows me away with his repertoire every single time. It gets to the point where as soon as I get home, I'm ripping some of those forgotten tracks onto a CD just so I can listen to them and feel that wedding energy again.
If you have a gut feeling that there might be a ton of Aunties and relatives (referring to that group I mentioned earlier) who aren't going to be thrilled about the lack of Mate Bulić or Thompson, and you're worried it might spark some drama or a fight, then maybe just go with a different DJ.
Though, from what I've heard, there's an option to book a combo deal with Dupli and another DJ. That way, Dupli handles the old-school hits while the other guy covers the Thompson types.

P.S. I'm really not trying to insult anyone's musical taste here. I'm just writing based on what I've seen, felt, and realized at weddings.
Couples often agree on one specific playlist, but once the guests start drinking (especially the parents), they can become incredibly pushy toward the DJ or the band, begging for all sorts of songs. And yeah, the aggressive ones can even get into actual fights.

Keith Gomez9 said:Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for a restaurant in San Francisco that can accommodate about 120 guests. We’re really looking for somewhere with a killer view, because we’d be willing to pay the premium to have an officiant come to the venue so we can handle everything in one single spot. Benicia is definitely off the table for us. Right now, the only place even on my radar is Pirate, so I wanted to see if anyone else had some better ideas.

I'm not totally sure what the absolute max headcount is, so maybe I'm totally off base here, but these places have great views:
Graso Restaurant (you could do the wedding on the terrace or over in Manhattan)
The Plaza (the terrace)
Hilton
The Hilton (the beachside deck)

Jure in Malibu is actually pretty decent too since the beach is right there.
Maybe check out the School of American Ballet area.

Ugh, honestly... the priests over at St. Anthony's Catholic Church can be pretty intense—okay, maybe even a bit harsh—about what they allow during a wedding ceremony, so I wouldn't exactly bank on it 🤔 You could always ask them, but if they shut you down, you've got options right there. There's the Navy Club just by the church which has a restaurant and cafe, plus you've got the Old Sailor restaurant about 100 meters away, assuming they're still open.

copperowl13 said:The more I read through this forum, the more my anxiety spikes... 🙂 If I lean toward one option, people claim it’s a disaster... it’s honestly all becoming quite overwhelming—I’m feeling the stress. Ideally, wouldn't we just pick the absolute best across the board and have everything go smoothly? That’s why there’s such intense pressure here. Now I’m debating whether I should even share my thoughts, because if I criticize an option someone else has already chosen, they might actually have a panic attack, right? 🕺🤔
But anyway...
For instance, I was looking into Papaya. I read some excellent reviews and even chatted with them, then happened to see them working at a wedding reception once. To be honest, they didn't click with me at all. There was zero chemistry between them and the guests—it felt like they were just there to clock in and out. Plus, the photos I saw weren't exactly anything to write home about, so I decided against them. Yet, everyone seems to rave about them... I suppose it depends on what we're looking for; maybe their style just isn't my cup of tea. Just because they didn't suit me doesn't mean they won't work for someone else—a friend of mine is a professional photographer and he insisted they are top-tier... hmmmmm
The best videographers seem to be those from the local indie scene, but they were way out of our budget. :-(
Ranko Pupic can be a bit pushy; if you can manage to navigate past that, his work is solid enough.
There are also some wonderful people among the boutique studios (like Gaspar)... where the quality really shines.

As far as bands go, most are fine. Personally, DJs aren't really my thing, but names like Viva, Taxi, Best, XXS, Kocka, PVA Liga, or Jadran are safe bets—you won't go wrong there.

Regarding venues, Kocka is my pick, though I still find myself wondering if everything will turn out okay...
I’ve noticed that even if you visit the same venue week after week, the food isn't always consistent...

The Radisson asked for significantly more than what’s listed here—by the time we factored in the basic menu and drinks, it would have cost us a hundred dollars per person... so we passed. A friend of mine was there and mentioned the food was decent, but the portions were small. My fiancé, who usually doesn't complain, told me the food was actually quite poor...
I visited Park personally; the food was a bit sparse, but the quality was good...
For example, I wanted Aria because the room was lovely, but my fiancé—who rarely nitpicks—said the food wasn't great there. (And the Radisson was one of the only two places he had issues with regarding the catering.)
Then there's Sky... it looked amazing to me too, but just when I was considering it, we attended a reception there and the food was bland. Completely tasteless, nothing to write home about. So, that was off the table.
Gusar, on the other hand, comes with nothing but praise; they are perfect. Truly. However, they can only accommodate about 80 people, and that’s it. If you're planning a smaller reception, go there or try Amigos... you won't regret it.
We decided against going to the suburbs or the outskirts. From those areas, we might only consider Lesnina or Dolis... the food there was actually good.
If I had been any smarter, I might have gone there, but... well...
And Bolero... unfortunately, it fell short of expectations.
Velum has great atmosphere outside, but the food was disappointing.

As for wedding dresses... that’s a whole different story. I honestly don't know what is going on with the bridal boutiques in town...
The ones at Cher are just... ugh. Either they won't let you touch anything, or they are incredibly rude and overbearing. And I'm not just speaking from experience; at least five or six other girls have told me the same thing. They won't let you wear the dress you actually want; they insist on what *they* decide. It’s an uncomfortable experience.
La Perla—on their Facebook photos, it looks like they have a massive collection of gowns. But when you actually show up... there's hardly anything to choose from.
Lipoto, my goodness... they are okay, fairly standard. The sales staff is polite. I didn't love the dresses, but the experience was pleasant, so I have no complaints.
Mila was so exhausting that I didn't even walk in. A friend of mine had a terrible experience with them because they refused to do a simple hem adjustment, and she ended up having to change her dress the day before the wedding to someone else.
Jelena seemed fine to me... pleasant and approachable. But then I see comments online saying she's unprofessional. Who knows!
Regarding makeup, I booked Ana Grgic, and then I was immediately bombarded with comments about how she's arrogant and doesn't listen to how you want to look. She's apparently quite temperamental (that's from three different girls), even though one person was satisfied... though personally, I wasn't a huge fan of how she did my makeup either.

And there we have it... 😵🙄 what is there even left to say after all this? It seems everyone is doing a stellar job—and nobody is doing anything right at the same time... 😵 because I’ve reached that stage where just when you think you’ve finally smoothed everything over, some new doubt or sudden fear crawls back in. I can only hope it all pans out in the end. Honestly, guests rarely tell you to your face that things aren't working; they wait until you're gone to whisper about it. (A friend was bragging about how her gala was absolutely flawless—perfect, she said, with nothing but praise from everyone... despite the fact that the catering was mediocre, the menu was lackluster, and the band was frankly abysmal, leaving no one actually dancing...) It really just comes down to the observer's perspective, doesn't it? I suppose the main goal now is just to get through it without losing our minds... 🎉

Just like you said—nobody is going to look you in the eye and tell you the wedding was a disaster. If anything, they’ll shower you with praise and claim it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. 😉
But then again, you can't please everybody. It's impossible. One person thinks the food is too salty or too spicy, while someone else thinks it's bland. Someone wants classic Rock, while someone else wants Country. Some people feel embarrassed if there isn't an Elvis Presley song playing at the party, while others think it's "embarrassing" to even have that kind of vibe at a wedding. For some, having Madonna or Smith on the playlist is a total must-have, whereas others would rather just dance to some random EDM and find all the local hits annoying, basically just waiting for the cake so they can head home. Then you've got the people who live for posing for photos, and then there are those who find the whole thing exhausting and wish the photographer and videographer would just vanish so the pictures would somehow manifest themselves magically.
Look, my advice? Just hire/book a photographer, a DJ, a venue, and a band that you actually "click" with. You need that easy, open communication because those are the people who are going to be stuck with you all day long. Any other combo and you'll probably end up losing your sanity.

Ladies, I’m planning to drop the big news next year—like, almost exactly one year from today.
Which venues would you guys suggest checking out? There will be about 250 to 260 of us, though I’m not 100% sure yet.
What do you think about Studio Smile? I personally love their vibe.
Any band recommendations? I’ve got Visa stuck in my head. I really want performers who actually know how to entertain; I don't want anyone just sitting around in the hall—I want music that literally forces you off your seat and onto the dance floor.

There’s this new venue out in the suburbs of Orlando. It used to be a disco club called "Stonage." I can't recall the exact name of the hall right now, but if you're interested, I can try to dig up some info.

I was there for a wedding about two months ago, and honestly, the location is pretty killer. They’re tucked away on a hill where there isn't a soul for miles (just rocks, olive groves, and if I remember correctly, a view of Savannah, Seagate, and Key Biscayne...).
Right now, they have a pool area that works great for a reception, and the hall itself holds about 80 people, but they're doing some renovations, so (if my memory serves me right) it should soon accommodate closer to 250 guests.

With Studio Smile, they have several different crews, so you might want to see if you can find out exactly who would be filming or photographing your big day. Try to check out the specific portfolios of those individual photographers/videographers, though, in my experience, you can't really go wrong with any of their teams.
Besides them, Studio West, Bonacci, Papaya, Sinisa Srdanovic, Ivica Matic, and a few others are solid choices too.

As for a band that actually gets the party moving besides Verve, you could look into Volar, Uber, Pink Panther, or Matko & Brane...

amberhawk60 said:Does anyone know where I can order invitations for maybe $0.30 to $0.50 each?
I heard there are people on Facebook who do them at that price point and offer super fast turnaround... if anyone's actually ordered from them, let me know.

Honestly, just check Craigslist. You'll find tons of ads for invitations in that $0.40 range. Some people charge extra for the design work, others don't even bother. They usually just ship them via USPS.

steelheron10 said:Ugh, sorry if my last post sounded a bit awkward! What I’m actually looking for are venue ideas where we could hold the actual ceremony itself—you know, an outdoor wedding with an officiant, but not totally exposed to the elements. Like maybe a church courtyard in Castle Rock (near the Boundaries) or somewhere at those old ruins near the entrance (I think there's a pavilion there). I'm picturing an outdoor space that still has some kind of cover, just in case it rains so we aren't caught in a total disaster. Hopefully that makes more sense now! If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, because I have no clue if anything like that even exists in San Francisco or the surrounding areas. 😁

HM.. maybe Villa California (the old Marshall estate)? 🤔

coastalharbor6 said:That is such a fantastic idea! It’s spot on...
Though, I think I’ve already narrowed my choices down to either Grasso or Kadena.
My absolute favorite—and the one that actually fits my budget—would be Sumica, but let's be real, that probably isn't happening. So, I'm sticking with this plan 🙂
Anyway, thanks so much for suggesting this. Maybe someone else can make it work; it truly is a brilliant concept 🙂

I had a wedding over at a venue in Chicago once. No complaints from me, 👍 especially if you can pull off some kind of setup where people can hang out outside but still have a way to duck indoors if it starts pouring.

coastalharbor6 said:The Forest was my first thought too, but I heard from a friend who tried reaching out to them this summer (for a date nine months away) that they can't guarantee bookings that far in advance. Since they restarted operations a few years ago, they've opened and closed a few times and changed owners, so they aren't exactly the most reliable choice.

I've actually reached out to them myself several times, and honestly? It's been three weeks and I'm still waiting for a response...

In theory, I absolutely agree. Now, if only that worked in practice! Haha, just kidding—but you are totally right. 🙂

Hmm.. I went to this one wedding once that was held on a cruise boat—you know, one of those tourist vessels—that was supposed to just cruise around off the coast of Split and dock whenever someone wanted to head in early. If I remember right, the catering was handled by that "Ballet School" group over in Castel, so there was this option where guests could just head to their restaurant if the weather turned sour. Maybe check with them about a combo deal? Might be worth a shot.

Coolerica - I didn't catch anyone mentioning Ben. It’s been ages since I’ve actually swung by there, so I'm not even sure if that restaurant is still running, but honestly, the location is killer for a smaller crowd. You can hang out outdoors, and if the weather decides to turn sour, they've got indoor space too.
Especially if you're leaning towards a more laid-back wedding vibe where some people want to dance while others just want to lounge... and hey, if you aren't dead set on a church ceremony, you could always just have an officiant come right to Ben to tie the knot.

Other options would be that venue up in the Forest near Sheep Meadow, or maybe the Palace over on Firulama.

steelheron10 said:Hey everyone!
Does anyone have ideas for an outdoor wedding that actually has a backup plan if it rains? The only thing I can think of is the courtyard at Castel in Meje since part of it is covered. There are so many gorgeous spots out there, from San Francisco all the way to Sustipan or even the beach, but everything else just gets totally ruined if the weather turns bad. :/

So, how many people are we talking about here? I guess it depends on what kind of crowd you're expecting, but yeah—what's the headcount?

coastalharbor6 said:When it comes to the band situation... since our wedding is going to be such a unique mix—neither of us were raised here and we don't even live in the States—plus we'll have international guests joining us, we really need to cover all our bases. Honestly, that’s the part that's weighing on my mind the most. :/

We didn't exactly go overboard on the mashed potatoes last time, so we’re honestly at a bit of a loss as to which ones to pick. Who knows?

I’ve been wrestling with that exact same thought. Honestly, since I’ve spent nearly a year trying to plan things ahead of time, I've learned one thing: you just can't predict the weather. How are you supposed to know what July is going to look like? Even by mid-July, you can't be certain if it'll be sunny or pouring rain. Everything is just so unpredictable these days, isn't it?

If there’s a massive crowd of out-of-towners at the wedding, maybe—and I’m just saying this—it might actually be worth looking into hiring a DJ instead? I mean, if you've got people flying in from all over the country, you can't exactly rely on one specific playlist and call it a day. You need someone who can read the room, you know? Someone who can pivot when the vibe shifts. I guess if everyone is coming from different places, a DJ can bridge those gaps way better than a static setup. It's probably a safer bet if you want to keep the energy up without things getting awkward. Maybe.

Look, I don't know what the current price tags are on all this stuff, but honestly? Aside from the ones already mentioned, I’ve always thought Viva, Pink Panther, and Volar were pretty solid options too. Maybe they're better than people give them credit for, I guess.

Gary Rivera2 Asks:
It really depends on the scale of your wedding. If you’re planning a massive celebration and need a venue like Dolis, you’d better start your search immediately. Those spots are incredibly popular, and I know for a fact they can be booked up over a year in advance. You mentioned the ocean... are you looking at Grašo or maybe Pirate? Personally, I went with Pirate, but my guest list was relatively small, so there just wasn't enough room for a huge crowd. As for Grašo, they charge roughly $50 per person. Their backup plan for rain is to move everyone indoors for a buffet-style meal, which was an option I ruled out right away.

We’re looking at a crowd of maybe 150 people. Some folks say Grasa can only draw 100, but apparently, the organizers are claiming they can handle 150. Who knows which one is right?
I really wish it were Saturday already. But hey, if that’s not happening, I guess I’ll settle for Friday and call it a win.

casualwolf22 Asks:
We held our wedding in Grašo at the end of August on a Sunday, and we managed to book the venue about two months in advance. If you’re looking at a Friday or a Sunday for your big day, you probably don't need to panic too much. However, if you have your heart set on a Saturday? You'd better get moving on the planning and reservations as soon as possible. Why wait until the last minute?

They gave us the choice between an outdoor ceremony or staying inside. In the end, we decided to go with the indoor option just because there was a chance it might get way too hot outside—and wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what happened.

Out of all the reasonably priced venues in San Francisco, I’d have to say Grašo had the absolute best location—you just can't beat that sun, the ocean view, and that stunning scenery. The food there was also excellent. Now, the Pirate had slightly better food, but the location definitely didn't measure up.
If you aren't particularly invested in San Francisco, you might want to check out Jure's restaurant in Malibu. It’s located right on the beach, which is incredible, but if you ask me, the food was a bit underwhelming despite that stunning view. Is a great vista really enough to make up for a mediocre meal?

If you’re looking for an alternative, I have a great suggestion: the restaurant at the Park Hotel near Bačvica is fantastic. You won't get a direct view of the water from there, but the ocean is incredibly close by. If you feel like stretching your legs, you can head over to those coastal plateaus near Žnjan managed by the Split Hotel (Radisson Blu). Once you're there, you'll feel completely surrounded by the Pacific on three sides—it's almost like being on your own little private island. Isn't that a perfect escape?

I really wish we could host this in San Francisco. From what I’ve seen at the Radisson Blu, that plaza area downstairs can accommodate anywhere from 60 to 80 people—though I can't quite recall the exact number. My main concern, though, is the weather. If it starts pouring, where exactly would we move everyone?

Does anyone happen to know the current pricing for Kaštelet? Just looking for some general info...

I’m also a big fan of Forest Bistro, but I can't help but wonder—how many people can that place actually hold?

I really like the Park Hotel, but a friend of mine was there on a business trip about a month ago and asked how much they charge for a table. They told her it was 100 dollars?!

Ugh, 150 people.. I'm seriously worried that won't be comfortable at all, not even at Grace, and honestly, I don't think we'd fit in Pirate either :/
Maybe we could try to cut a deal with Hotel Split to move everything into their restaurant if the weather turns bad.
What do you guys think about Ballet in Castleton? That restaurant seems pretty massive, it's right near the coast, the food is great, and it has a courtyard.

I suppose if you’re aiming for a Friday or a Sunday, you don't have to panic too much, but if you're eyeing a Saturday, man, you should probably get moving with the planning and reservations right now.

Out of all the reasonably priced venues in San Francisco, I think Grašo had the best location by far—you get the sun, the ocean, and a killer view—plus the food was great. Pirate had slightly better food, maybe, but the location was definitely a step down.
If you don't care about being right in San Francisco, you could check out Jure’s place in Malibu—it’s practically sitting on the beach, though personally, I thought the food was just okay, even if the view was incredible.

Just as an alternative—or just an idea floating around—the restaurant at the Park hotel near Bačvica is awesome, even if you don't get a direct ocean view. The water is super close if anyone wants to take a stroll, or there's that plaza over in Žnjan run by the San Francisco hotel (Radisson Blu)—if you go there, you’re basically surrounded by the ocean on three sides, almost like you're stuck on your own little private island.
