It&#8217;s a resort, and resorts suggest guest lists.

Catalina Point already has a pergola and a manicured lawn. You arrive and check into your stay the night before, walk out to the lawn to say your vows, and head on over to one of the many fine restaurants on the property within steps. For couples who want the coastal vibe and energy without the heavy logistics, this is it.<\/p><p><strong>The scale works in your favor.<\/strong> A pergola gives you a defined space, which means two people don&#8217;t look lost the way they would on an open lawn. It&#8217;s the one site on the property that photographs just as well with four people as with two hundred.<\/p><p><strong>You can stay.<\/strong> Lodging on site, dinner at one of the restaurants, breakfast the next morning with the ocean still there.
