Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa Wedding Photography
Set directly across from the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa is a contemporary hotel venue where gallery-worthy art and elegant furnishings carry through every room. The property sits under three miles from John Wayne (SNA) Airport, and its grand ballroom, rooftop terrace, and outdoor courtyard give couples three distinct settings for one celebration.
Why Couples Love Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa
Couples are drawn to the range packed into one address — a polished ballroom for a formal reception, an open-air rooftop terrace for a skyline cocktail hour, and a landscaped courtyard for an intimate ceremony. The contemporary art and elegant furnishings throughout give every frame a clean, gallery-like backdrop, and the location across from the Segerstrom Center for the Arts adds a cultured backdrop to the day.
Getting Ready at Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa
With a hotel on site, the wedding party can settle into a suite well before the ceremony, with natural light and contemporary interiors setting the tone for relaxed getting-ready portraits. Sitting under three miles from John Wayne (SNA) Airport also makes the morning easier on out-of-town guests and vendors alike.
Couple’s Session
The rooftop terrace opens onto views toward the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, giving us an elevated, contemporary backdrop for portraits, while the outdoor courtyard offers a more intimate, greenery-framed setting just steps away.
Wedding Ceremony
Ceremonies can take place in the outdoor courtyard, framed by landscaping and the surrounding architecture, or in the grand ballroom for couples who prefer an indoor setting. Either way, the contemporary art and elegant furnishings throughout carry the same polished feel from ceremony to reception.
Wedding Reception
The grand ballroom anchors the reception, with room to scale from an intimate dinner to a full celebration, while the rooftop terrace stays available for cocktail hour or a late-night change of scenery above the Arts District.
