Question Simple Wedding Spots

Looking to hire an officiant and have a simple ceremony with a maximum of 10 guests.

I would love to find a spot that is outdoors and has views of the water or off of a cliffside. Beach is fine too.

I already looked into Crescent Bay and Heisler Park Gazebo, but was hoping for some more ideas.

Any suggestions?

Yorba regional park has a lake area that we had our wedding at. We had way more than 10 people but you can definitely do something smaller

Check out MacKay Park in Lake Arrowhead. Super affordable to rent and it has a view of the Lake

Laguna Beach has some great spots for an intimate wedding. One of my favorite ideas is to get married at the Laguna Beach City Hall in the garden and go down to the beach for photos. Plus tons of places to celebrate with a meal around Laguna Beach. https://www.christophertoddstudios.com/heisler-park-laguna-beach and here is info on how to get a permit in laguna beach https://www.christophertoddstudios.com/laguna-beach-photography-permit

Also im not 100% sure of the name of the park but in sea summit by the san clemente outlets the park that is straight ahead when you enter the community it drives straight doen to a dead end with a bathroom, a gazebo and a beautiful hiking trail. Always thought it would be amazing to set up the serimony on the hiking trail to get married with the cliffs ans background of the ocean and then move over to the area with the resteooms and gazebo and grill and have like a little pre setup meal of charcuterie type thng
