Facilities and Capacity The Balboa Inn provides couples with options of both gorgeous outdoor and immaculate indoor event spaces to choose from for their special day. The courtyard is an excellent area to welcome your guests. It features potted palm trees and the venue’s original handcrafted tiling, set to the sound of the Pacific Ocean crashing onto Newport’s sandy shores. The Terrace has a guest capacity of 140, making this a wonderful environment for couples to have a meaningful ceremony or relaxing cocktail hour. With breathtaking panoramic views overlooking Catalina Island and all the way through to Dana Point, this event space is a picturesque backdrop for any occasion. The Siena Ballroom can host up to 175 of your nearest and dearest and provides a wonderful space to say your “I dos” in grand style. The Siena Dining Room and its adjacent courtyard create a warm and relaxing environment to host your wedding reception as the sea breeze flows through. Services Offered Balboa Inn provides unparalleled all-inclusive packages to create a memorable experience for couples on the most special day of their lives. Experienced event planners can help coordinate couples’ big day, focusing on important details and making sure everything runs to schedule. Couples can provide their own decor if they wish; however, the venue has item rentals and set-up services available. Cuisine Matera's menu specializes in gourmet Northern Italian cuisine, from authentic Italian pizzas and pastas to its famous calamari and chicken marsala. An array of salads, appetizers, and desserts are available and don't forget to ask about the fresh fish of the day. If you’re dining at Matera for the very first time, try the succulent filet mignon. It’s our chef's favorite! Indoor and outdoor dining is available to enjoy the amazing California Sunsets while dining.
