Where Hollywood glamour meets Southern California coastal charm, the Miramar Theater stands as San Clemente's most distinctive event venue. Originally opening its doors in 1938 as the San Clemente Theatre, this architectural masterpiece was designed by renowned architect Clifford A. Balch in the Spanish Colonial Revival style that defines the community's character. Today, this meticulously preserved landmark offers an unparalleled setting for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations that demand both historical elegance and modern versatility.

The venue's dramatic Grand Theater serves as the heart of your celebration, featuring soaring exposed beam ceilings in rich, dark tones, magnificent antique wrought iron chandeliers, and the original theatrical stage framed by elegant blue velvet curtains. Arched doorways and textured walls showcase authentic Spanish Colonial details, while dark hardwood floors ground the space with warmth and sophistication. The iconic 44-foot tower, a San Clemente landmark for nearly nine decades, rises above as a testament to the building's storied past.
