Waldrof Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club - Melissa & Matthew
We absolutely adored every moment of Melissa and Matthew’s wedding at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club in Dana Point. If you're dreaming of a wedding that's timeless, romantic, and coastal without being cliché, their celebration is the perfect inspiration.
Planned and beautifully executed by our day-of coordination team, this wedding proves that even with coordination services alone, you can still enjoy a flawlessly executed and stunning wedding day. The details were polished, intentional, and designed to complement the elegance of the seaside setting.
A Ceremony Overlooking the Dana Point Cliffs
Melissa and Matthew said "I do" on the resort’s ceremony lawn, perched just above the dramatic cliffs of Dana Point. With the gentle sound of ocean waves below and soft coastal breezes, the setting created an intimate and peaceful experience for everyone in attendance.
The color palette was a refined blend of soft white with touches of gold, keeping everything timeless and neutral while still feeling luxe. White floral arrangements framed the altar, allowing the ocean views to shine while enhancing the natural beauty of the location.
A Semi-Enclosed Reception Full of Romance
Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed into a semi-enclosed patio space for the reception—offering the best of both worlds: an open-air feel with just the right amount of coverage and intimacy.
The tables were dressed in elegant white florals, gold-rimmed place settings, and soft candlelight. Every detail was curated to feel light, luxurious, and effortless. One of the evening’s most enchanting features was the statement chandelier, draped in lush greenery, suspended above the dining space. It brought a touch of magic to the evening and served as a visual centerpiece that guests couldn’t stop talking about.
Simple Coordination, Stunning Results
This wedding is a shining example of what’s possible with the right team behind you. Melissa and Matthew’s celebration was coordinated by our experienced team, ensuring the day went off without a hitch. From timelines and vendor management to setup and tear-down, we were honored to support this couple on one of the most important days of their lives.
Whether you’re planning something intimate or grand, our coordination services can help bring your vision to life—gracefully and seamlessly.
