Reception Sites Part 1

So I have narrowed it down to a few reception sites, but since we’re not visiting until July, I haven’t made a decision just yet.  Again we didn’t exactly want to get married right on the beach but instead, select a venue with an oceanview of some kind.  Two options are the Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach or the Long Beach Museum of Art. Shade Hotel would be poolside with a view of the ocean (and on good days, maybe even a view of Catalina Island!) and the LB Historic Museum would offer a direct view of the Queen Mary! I hope they still have my wedding date(s) available by the time we go. Crossing my fingers!
