The desire for a classic, elegant setting led Leah and Ryan to choose Terranea as their ceremony and reception venue. The gorgeous wooden arbor donned in florals and greenery stunned in front of the beach backdrop. Both the ceremony and reception styles blended flawlessly to create a seamless continuation between the spaces, making Terranea a truly perfect venue for the couple wanting the best of both worlds.
