A masterwork of French Renaissance architecture, The Ebell Club has been the crown jewel of downtown Long Beach since 1924.

The venue's centerpiece is the Grand Ballroom, featuring a dramatic soaring ceiling and an original baby grand piano that anchors the room's historic soul. For couples, the flow is effortless — starting with a sun-drenched ceremony in the Courtyard, followed by cocktails in the vintage-furnished Parlor.

Instagram: @csulbjapanesegarden

Tucked away on the campus of Cal State Long Beach, the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a 1.3-acre masterclass in Zen landscape design and arguably the most serene hidden gem in the county. It serves as the Long Beach counterpart to the Langham’s own historic gardens, offering a meticulously curated environment of hybrid tea roses, weeping willows, and a massive koi pond that serves as the site's tranquil heart. Ceremonies typically center around the iconic Moon Bridge, providing a silhouette that is as timeless as it is romantic. This is a venue for the intentional couple — those who value privacy, precision, and the quiet beauty of nature over the hustle of the city. While it is located in an urban center, once you pass through the gates, the sound of the waterfalls and the rustle of the bamboo create a sensory blackout from the outside world. It is the premier choice for intimate ceremonies and Secret Garden receptions that require zero additional floral decor.
