The Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day

Jenn and her team did an amazing job making sure our day was perfect! From the rehearsal, to the ceremony, to the reception, everything was amazing! The Wedding Garden has a breathtaking view and the Gate House is perfect! We were very impressed with the entire process and our big day! Highly recommend having your wedding at the Oceano. You will not be disappointed.

Dream venue

Oceano was an absolutely perfect wedding venue and fit our vision of our big day exactly! This was the first venue we toured and just one walk around the venue I knew this had to be our place. It is absolutely stunning and the aspects included make planning so much easier! When they just so happened to have one of our dates available I was absolutely over the moon! Jenn was so easy to work with and communicative and made the process really flow! All of the calls, emails, and meetings leading up to the big day were so productive and ensured it was everything we wanted! The weekend of the wedding the entire team (including Nancy and Lauren) was an absolute joy to work with! They were so professional and efficient and just put us all at ease! The big day itself ran so smoothly and we were able to just 100% enjoy the day and be in the moment thanks to their hard work! I highly recommend working with Oceano and booking them for your big day!

The Most Beautiful Place

Oceano was so beautiful and was exactly what we wanted for our wedding! Honestly the best value for Oceanside venue with DELICIOUS food and a best coordinator ( Love you Nancy! ) along side you the whole way. The Gate house is the perfect canvas to your dream wedding. The hotel is very accommodating to us and all our guest! We will definitely be back to spend more time at Oceano

The Oceano is just an outstanding venue on the coast. You have the water and harbor for a beautiful backdrop along with an attentive staff to make your wedding day go smoothly. Jen and Nancy in the events office are very knowledgeable and so nice to work with! We highly recommend them :)

Oceano Hotel is one of the most beloved wedding venues for me over the years - the cute, vintage and beautiful hotel provides the most amazing experience. It's really close to the beach, we have gotten the most amazing beach photos for pretty much every couple! and the wedding/event planner - Nancy, Jen and Laurin are so pleasant to work with! They really go out of the way to make sure you get what you need and feel like home. Again, love the hotel!
