Shutters on the Beach

Your picture-perfect coastal wedding in California is about to become reality. Shutters will help you plan and execute your dream Santa Monica beach wedding, exactly as you envision it.

The Pacific Terrace encompasses both the beauty of the Southern California coastline and the charm of East Coast beach cottages. It is the premiere place to say "I do" with up to 220 guests looking out over Santa Monica Beach during a picture-perfect wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.

Dance the night away under ornate crystal chandlers in the Grand Salon, featuring space for up to 250 guests and even its own fireplace. The Beachside and Oceanside rooms are exactly that! Private event spaces perfect for rehearsal dinners and post-wedding brunches, steps off the sand and with intimate views of the beach. These are perfect for celebrations of 20-70 people.

From expert wedding professionals to customized, crafted menus – inspired by our local purveyors and seasonal ingredients – and wine enjoyed with the ideal photo backdrop, Shutters on the Beach is the place for the ultimate Southern California wedding. Whether non-traditional or by the book, destination or local, a Shutters wedding comes with ONE Spa, beachfront rooms for guests, a variety of reception venues, and an ocean view you won't find anywhere else.

Shutters on the Beach recalls both the traditional architecture of America’s quintessential beach resorts and inviting cottages of the Southern California coast. The front of the hotel opens onto the Santa Monica beach promenade. Public spaces are warm and inviting with a mixture of custom furnishings and white painted wood-paneled walls, accented by dark wood floors and details. The lobby boasts two large fireplaces, intimate conversation areas, and a large balcony overlooking the ocean. Throughout the hotel, original artwork, lithographs, and stunning objets d'art add charm, sophistication, and style. Artists represented in the hotel's collection include David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, William Wegman, Richard Diebenkorn, and Claes Oldenburg.
