After not traveling for years, they met at Acqualina from Canada and California to make memories together,\u201d says Roldan. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to wait for a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday, instead, celebrate those every-day moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of celebrating at a property like Acqualina is the opportunity for the staff to tailor experiences to guests\u2019 preferences and utilize the resort\u2019s many intimate and inspiring spaces. \u201cGuests can choose from our four diverse restaurants or host an event or meal somewhere different each day. We can also collaborate with the culinary team to recreate a favorite dish or infuse their particular culture into the menu,\u201d says Roldan.<\/p>\n<p>Choose from dreamy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/weddings\/venues\">indoor and outdoor backdrops<\/a>, like the Front Lawn that\u2019s just steps from the water. \u201cThey can enjoy a front-row seat to the ocean without ever getting their feet sandy, and I love the \u2018wow\u2019 reaction from guests at the golden hour,\u201d says Roldan. And with the lawn\u2019s beautiful scenery, not much d\u00e9cor is needed to feel the magic. There\u2019s also the more secluded Great Lawn that can be tented for events yet still welcomes those ocean views, as well as unique locations such as the hilly dunes that are a little slice of paradise. Guests can also opt for the elegant spaces of the Mediterranean Room, which is essentially a blank canvas that can be transformed into whatever is desired.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17044 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony.jpg\" alt=\"Flower arch and chairs set up for a beachfront Acqualina wedding\" width=\"586\" height=\"389\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony-768x510.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 586px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 586\/389;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony.jpg\" alt=\"Flower arch and chairs set up for a beachfront Acqualina wedding\" width=\"586\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/edit-ceremony-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can host a cocktail reception on the wraparound terrace then move inside for dinner and dancing,\u201d says Roldan.<\/p>\n<p>Even more enticing is all the activities and spaces that can be enjoyed together, from spa days to hopping between three pools and the beach.
