Real Wedding Inspiration: Alex & Stacey’s Ebell Long Beach Wedding
Alex and Stacey planned a romantic, candlelit wedding that felt both classic and fresh. The couple wore timeless black-tie attire and opted for a sunset ceremony that created the dreamiest lighting imaginable. Candles twinkled around them as they exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest family and friends.
One of the most special moments of the day was their first look—which included their beloved dog, Luna. Luna wore a silky oversized bow and was the perfect addition to their portraits, adding a sweet and personal touch to their modern, elegant vibe.
Their floral design featured lush greens and whites, with contemporary arrangements that complemented the Ebell’s sophisticated architecture. Every element—from the clean lines of the floral pillars to the organic textures—felt intentional and elevated. Shoutout to the incredible team at Underground Melody for the stunning blooms!
The evening ended with a champagne tower, celebratory shots with friends, and a packed dance floor that carried the night well into the evening.
Why We Love Weddings at the Ebell Long Beach
Having an Ebell Long Beach wedding gives you the perfect mix of old-world charm and modern sophistication. The venue itself is a restored 1920s building with Spanish-Revival architecture, dramatic archways, gorgeous tilework, and a sun-drenched courtyard. It’s the kind of space that doesn’t need much to shine—its beauty speaks for itself.
Inside, the Grand Hall features exposed beams, rich textures, and soaring ceilings, making it an ideal space for a reception that feels both cozy and grand. The natural flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception is effortless, which means couples can truly enjoy the day without worrying about logistics.
We especially love the ceremony space with its stunning tile flooring—it’s one of the most beautiful spots in Long Beach to say “I do.”
