Your love will find echo inside our premises too. Want an intimate banquet surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean and canyon?

We can join this dining space with another one catering to about 60 precious attendees. Then there’s The Grille Room welcoming as many as 80 guests who can enjoy the view over an exceptional fairway—an ideal match for your fresh beginnings.

“I purchased a photo session for my daughter-in-law as a baby shower gift, to be used for maternity or newborn photos (she chose maternity). The photos are magical - they perfectly capture their love story. Leah is a talented photographer who brings out the very best, and is so easy to work with. Both my son and daughter-in-law thoroughly enjoyed their session. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. You won't be disappointed.”
