Sumptuous and palatial, this restaurant allows you to say your vows in a stylized, original way. A ceremony at this venue is a grand departure from the typical outdoor California ceremony with an indoor reception in a bland ballroom. To tie the knot under lalique glass chandeliers in an unrivaled historic location will be an experience neither you nor your wedding party and guests will ever forget. The staff will move tables and set up chairs in a theater-style setting so you can walk down the aisle. Cicada Restaurant is so opulent and wondrous that you won’t need more than a handful of bouquets to decorate the space.
