Where does the wedding party get ready before the wedding?

We recommend guestroom reservations be made for a minimum two night length of stay with a check-in date of the night before the wedding and check-out the day after the wedding. This will eliminate the stress on the day of the wedding of having to check-in and out of guestrooms.

 

The bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen can also enjoy services and treatments at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Laguna Niguel. Hair styling, make-up, manicures, pedicures, massages and couples treatments are all available on property.

It is our policy that all food and alcoholic beverages must be provided by the resort. However, the Resort will evaluate the requests for ethnic outside catering on a case by case basis. The sale and service of alcoholic beverages is regulated by the California State Liquor Commission, and The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is responsible for the administration of those regulations. It is our policy that all alcoholic beverages must be provided by the resort.

 

Please explain the food and beverage minimum.

The food and beverage minimum is the least amount of money that you are required to spend on a combination of food and beverage, excluding Staff and House charge and sales tax, but it is not all that you could spend. The food and beverage minimum is reached by selecting individually priced, a la carte menu items to equal or exceed the required dollar figure.

The following examples would apply towards the food and beverage minimum:

 

  • Hors d’oeuvres, food display and carving stations, plated or buffet meal, wedding cake, dessert stations, late night snack stations, wine service, champagne toast and bar service.
  • Centerpieces, upgraded linens/china/silverware, décor, and specialty lighting would not apply towards the food and beverage minimum.

 

When do I need to finalize my menu?

Food and beverage selections must be finalized and confirmed with your Special Event Manager a maximum of 6-8 weeks prior to the date of your wedding.

 

When do I need to let the hotel know exactly how many guests will be attending my event?

Your Special Events Manager must be notified of the exact number of guests attending a function at least five business days prior to the start of the event. This will be considered a guarantee, for which you will be charged, even if fewer guests attend the event.

 

Do you offer ethnic cuisine?

Our culinary team is happy to create customized menus incorporating authentic ethnic cuisine. The chefs are particularly familiar with Indian, Mexican, Italian, Spanish, as well as Kosher dishes.

 

We are having a green themed wedding. What are your organic offerings?

Banquet
Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.
Conference and Hollow Square
Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. Many hotels have elegant "boardrooms" for 10 to 20 people, equipped with full audiovisual capabilities, a writing board, cork board and a flip chart.
E-Shape, U-Shape and T-Shape
Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.
Theater
Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.
Reception
Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.
Schoolroom or Classroom
The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. Requires a relatively large room. Tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.
Ovals and Rounds
Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.
