What makes your venue unique?
Baron Beach House becomes “yours” for the wedding weekend. Everyone can relax and catch their breath before the big day especially since we do not have staff under foot or owners residing on the premises. The garden gate leads directly onto the beach and our stretch of beach is ideal for beach weddings with the ocean as your backdrop without strangers gawking at the proceedings or fishermen in the background.
The overall vibe and atmosphere of the venue
Our inspiration for Baron Beach House was Island Style Living by India Hicks. La Lucia is sub-tropical with luscious vegetation and our vibe is boho beach chic. We are relaxed without being rustic, we are upmarket without being pretentious. We marry “ballgowns and flip flops” and want the bridal couple and their entourage to have the best wedding experience of their lives.
How many guests can your venue accommodate?
For micro weddings up to 60 guests, the couple has the option to have their wedding ceremony under the frangipani tree in the front courtyard or in the event of rain, we host ceremonies next door at The Baron Hacienda, under the covered verandah, for up to 100 guests seated. The lawn at Baron Beach House can host an informal setting of up to 170 guests in a cocktail-style vibe with seat pods dotted on the grass. For our formal seatings, we host up to 120 guests in the traditional U-shape with a chequered dance floor in the middle. We own a 15m clear marquee that we keep on standby in the event of an unexpected cold front with rain forecast. Ultimately, we love using festoon lights crisscrossing the lawn or putting up our 15m wooden wedding pergola that we decorate with fresh foliage and fairy lights.
Current trends that you love
We do a lot of Bohemian Beach Chic décor with Pampas grasses and dried blooms since we are on the beach and can recreate a scene from Greece in a heartbeat. But every wedding is unique and every bride has a blank canvas to tailor-make her wedding exactly as she has always envisioned her princess moment.
The best time to get married at Baron Beach House
We are blessed with wedding weather all year round. The fact that we own a clear marquee gives us the leverage to have a Plan B on standby for unpredictable weather. Ultimately, we love the night sky just at the golden hour when the fairy lights start to shine.
We strive to be a ‘one-stop destination’ for all our events and some wedding couples working overseas or from elsewhere only need to organise their wedding garments. We have two beachfront properties next to each other and currently, we accommodate 24 guests sharing between Baron Beach House (16 adults) and Baron Hacienda (six guests). There are plans to extend at Baron Hacienda and convert the space into accommodation for wedding guests. We are passionate about our in-house décor service that we conceptualise with each bridal couple. Our properties are fully self-catering, but guests are welcome to bring in their caterer, alternatively, we have trusted vendors for all catering. Our catering options range from floating canapés, to harvest tables, buffets, and plated dishes and an all-time favourite is a lamb on the spit with a great selection of side dishes to go with it. We also offer professional wedding photography, drone footage, videography, bar setup, card bar or corkage, in-house wedding floristry, wedding confectionary, professional hair and make-up, waitrons, barmen, DJ, lights and sound.
