GLADSTONES, Pacific Coast Highway

Ceremony

Our Wedding

Dress like it was worth the wait!But really just wear whatever makes you feel special. It's Lalaland so you can wear a bikini and sarong, an evening gown, a dashiki, a dinner jacket, feathers of all kinds, a kilt...whatever! It’s a party!

attire

A lovely but very BRIEF sunset wedding ceremony will be on the sand near the indoor reception venue so there will be some traipsing in the sand! We will have a few chairs for those who absolutely need to be seated, as well as flip flops or some such (or bring your own) and shoe caddies so pretty feet and shoes don't get mucked up in the sand...and towelettes etc., to wipe feet before the dinner and dancing start indoors!

beach ceremony=sand!

We will be serving dinner family style with platters to share so there is no assigned seating... AND we encourage everyone to sit with people you may not know but would certainly want to know. We have friends and family coming from all over the world and from all walks of life, and many if not all of them are fascinating...we hope!

family style dinner

Inspired by the Malibu landscape and rich heritage of California surf culture it offers an authentically local experience and personalized service in a guest-only setting. Malibu is a destination whose reputation, at least for visitors, rests more on legend than experience. Its a magical little stretch of coastline, but one whose hotel options have historically been thin. No longer; the Surfrider Malibu is a Fifties icon transformed by its new owners  a Californian architect, an Australian-born free spirit, and an Italian race car driver  into the boutique hotel this town has always deserved, set right on the Pacific Coast Highway, directly across from Surfrider Beach. The look is pared-down and elegant, a sort of bohemian minimalism, the 20 rooms decorated in light neutrals that are full of organic textures, from the reclaimed teak floorboards to the modern-rustic furnishings created by local designers. Upstairs rooms have private terraces with partial or full views of the Pacific. Theyre far from lavish or opulent but theyre luxurious in their details, and life here is anything but difficult  though more than a little bit glamorous, the vibe here is light-hearted and fun. And while some of our favorite hotels use their public spaces to interact with the local scene, the Surfriders roof terrace restaurant and bar is for guests only, in keeping with the intent of the hotel: more a private Malibu beach house than a typical boutique hotel. Its a refuge, but not an isolated one  the views of the pier, the Pacific, and one of Californias most famous beaches lend it an unmistakable sense of place. Please note that a 3% Wellness Charge will be applied to F&B purchases at the property.
