Balboa Bay Resort - Andrea & Matthew
Andrea and Matthew’s wedding at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, California was a breathtaking celebration of love, elegance, and coastal charm. With the sparkling harbor and luxurious yachts as the backdrop, this day was nothing short of magical. Every detail — from the soft floral palette to the stunning oceanfront views — came together to create a truly timeless wedding experience.
The couple exchanged vows on a beautiful sunny afternoon, surrounded by family and friends who gathered to witness their love story unfold by the water. The ceremony setting was picture-perfect: soft white and green florals framed the altar, gently swaying in the ocean breeze. The sound of the harbor waters added a serene touch as Andrea made her grand entrance, radiant in her bridal gown, while Matthew waited with an emotional smile that said it all.
After the heartfelt “I do’s,” guests were invited to a romantic cocktail hour overlooking the bay. The Balboa Bay Resort offers one of the most breathtaking waterfront views in Orange County, and this celebration made full use of its beauty. Guests mingled, enjoyed signature cocktails, and watched the sun slowly set over the harbor — a view that seemed almost too perfect to be real.
Dinner and dancing took place on the resort’s terrace and ballroom, where soft candlelight, white linens, and lush greenery transformed the space into a romantic coastal dream. The tables were adorned with elegant centerpieces of roses, hydrangeas, and touches of eucalyptus, all in shades of white and green that echoed the natural beauty of the surroundings. The design was classic yet effortless — the kind of understated elegance that never goes out of style.
As the evening continued, the celebration turned joyful and lively with music, laughter, and the glow of twinkle lights overhead. Guests wined and dined on delicious cuisine prepared by the resort’s culinary team before hitting the dance floor to celebrate the night away. Andrea and Matthew’s love for each other shone brightly through every moment — from the emotional toasts to the joyful energy that filled the air.
The Balboa Bay Resort truly provided the perfect setting for this romantic, sophisticated affair. Between its picturesque harbor views, luxurious ambiance, and world-class service, it’s no wonder why it’s one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Newport Beach.
Andrea and Matthew’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the most timeless weddings are the ones that embrace simplicity, elegance, and a touch of the sea breeze.
