We will be holding both the ceremony and the reception at Hotel Maya in Long Beach, adjacent to the Queen Mary. The ceremony will be held outside at the Jardin de Palmeras. With its jungle waterfall and view of the Long Beach skyline, it promises to be a breath-taking site for our nuptials.

The reception will be held upstairs in the Miramar banquet room. From this location, you can overlook the ceremony site as well as have expansive views of the Long Beach skyline. While an indoor room, two of the walls open to a large patio where guests can enjoy the salt air while sipping a drink and enjoying a little quiet. Drinks will be served here on the patio between the ceremony and formal reception.

Appropriate attire expected, and please, no children. Thanks!
