Why Summer Events Shine at The Betty
There’s something magical about summertime in Long Beach. The golden light, the ocean breeze, the relaxed-yet-sophisticated atmosphere—it all sets the stage for a celebration that feels effortless yet elevated.
At The Betty, we’ve created a space that honors the best of Southern California while offering flexibility for event hosts to bring their vision to life.
From outdoor ceremonies under the sun to evening receptions beneath twinkling café lights, summer soirées at The Betty are always a feast for the senses.
Outdoor Elegance in the Tie the Knot Venue Space
One of our most beloved features is the Tie the Knot Venue Space, an outdoor oasis inspired by the timeless beauty of the Greek islands.
Think: a white-stucco fireplace framed by vibrant greenery, wooden floating shelves perfect for personal décor, and paved stone walkways that invite guests to explore and relax.
This versatile space is ideal for:
Sunset ceremonies with Mediterranean flair
Garden-inspired receptions
Al fresco cocktail hours with passed appetizers and music
Summer bridal showers, luncheons, or birthday celebrations
With seating for up to 200 guests and a standing capacity of 300, it offers room to dream—and room to dance.
The Betty Ballroom: Indoor Sophistication with SoCal Charm
When you want the best of both indoor and outdoor worlds, the Betty Ballroom is the perfect complement. Featuring 16-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and elegant chandeliers, the space feels open, airy, and radiant—especially during the day when natural light floods in.
After your outdoor ceremony, this space becomes the perfect backdrop for:
Plated or buffet-style dinners
Formal toasts and first dances
Live music or DJ-led entertainment
Late-night dessert stations or lounge-style afterparties
Our ballroom accommodates up to 340 guests and offers flexible floor plans to match your style and guest count.
Elevate the Menu with TGIS Catering
