Beach Wedding Welcome Parties in Los Angeles

Kick off your wedding weekend with a styled gathering on the sand. We set everything up before your guests arrive — you just welcome your people.

The easiest way to start a wedding weekend

A wedding welcome party is the relaxed gathering that opens your wedding weekend — the first chance for both families and out-of-town guests to meet before the big day. The Beach Oasis hosts welcome parties on the beaches of Los Angeles and Orange County, with styled cabanas, lounges and picnic setups waiting when your guests walk down to the water.

No second venue to book, no folding chairs to haul. We design the setup, deliver it, style it and pack it all down after the last toast.

Why host your welcome party on the beach

Before you say “I do,” keep it barefoot and easy.

01

A California welcome

Many of your guests flew in just for you. Give them toes in the sand and the Pacific on day one — the LA moment they were hoping for.

02

Relaxed by design

A beach welcome party skips the ballroom and the banquet minimums. Guests mingle between lounges instead of sitting at assigned tables.

03

Zero lifting for the couple

Your only job this weekend is getting married. We deliver, set up and style everything before anyone arrives, then break it down after you leave.

Build your welcome party with cabanas & lounges, luxury picnic setups, extra seating and beach games — with catering & concierge add-ons available.

How it works

Three steps between you and a welcome party your guests will talk about all weekend.

1

Tell us about your weekend

Share the date, guest count and the beach you have in mind — or ask us to recommend one near your guests’ hotels.

2

We design your setup

We build the layout around your group and your wedding style, from an intimate lounge to a full welcome-party production.

3

Welcome your people

Walk down to a finished setup. When the party winds down, we handle the rest.

Wedding welcome party FAQs

A few things couples ask before they book.

How many guests can a beach welcome party host?
Our lounges and cabanas work beautifully for smaller gatherings, and The Beach Club hosts up to 40 guests. For larger welcome parties, our custom beach events team can design a setup around your full guest list.
When should the welcome party happen?
Most couples host it the day before the wedding or on the first day of the weekend. Popular dates book up quickly, so it’s worth reserving early.
Which beaches work best?
We set up across LA and Orange County — Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Newport Beach and more. Pick a beach near where your guests are staying, or ask us to recommend one.
