Cozy “I Do’s”: The Best Intimate Wedding Venues in Southern California 2025

An intimate wedding is a huge trend for 2025, and couples opt for more personalized and meaningful wedding celebrations. Unlike large-scale affairs, intimate ceremonies include a smaller guest list and a more relaxed and casual atmosphere. These “micro” weddings tend to have fewer guests but still retain the traditions of larger weddings such as a wedding party, floral arrangements, video and photography, and a reception with entertainment and music. If the intimacy trend is your choice for your upcoming nuptials, then look no further than City Cruises as an exciting venue choice. Let us help you create a wedding experience that reflects your love story with exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and the beautiful backdrop of Southern California-all on the water as you sail into your happily ever after.
