Wedding Venues on the Monterey Peninsula
Since 2010, we have planned and set up weddings in over 150 different locations throughout Monterey County stretching from the beaches of Marina down to the rugged coastline in Big Sur. One of the first steps in your planning process, after you have some dates in mind, is to find your ideal wedding location.
Where you get married can depend on the size of your wedding. If you decide to invite 300 guests, your choice of wedding venues will be a bit more limited due to capacity restrictions. For a small elopement, the possibilities are nearly endless. In our photo gallery (below), we have the most popular types of places to get married in Monterey County. We also included some information on our local city destinations including wedding venues in Monterey, wedding venues in Carmel and wedding venues in Big Sur.
How much is it going to cost? Well, that depends again on the size of your wedding and the type of place where you want to get married. Hotels and venues will be more expensive than parks, cliffs and beaches. In the end, we haven't had much trouble finding something special for all of our couples.
Wedding site fees vary based on the location and range from a few that are still "free" up to over $10,000 or more. On average, a beach or park rental will range from about $400 - $700 while a hotel or venue that includes a reception space can be closer to $2,500 and up. We are fully insured as a wedding company to meet the requirements of any location you choose.
We are here to help assist with the finding you the perfect Monterey County wedding venue. For some couples, it has to be the beach, feet in the sand, ocean breezes and great views. For others, they might love the ocean view but not be interested in having everyone trekking down to the beach. We have talked to some brides that really relish privacy so having the ceremony in a church or private venue is more ideal.
When it comes to finding the perfect location for your wedding in Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur or anywhere in between, just let us know how we can help your dream location become a reality. Keep in mind that although we list some locations on our site, we currently have a complete list of 150 outdoor wedding venues and 45 indoor venues for a ceremony in Monterey County, and we couldn't list them all.
What about the wedding reception? Many of the wedding venues in the Monterey area offer sites for your reception as well. For some, you will be taking advantage of their in-house culinary team while others will allow you to bring in your own caterer (and we have an excellent list of local catering teams). For some of the smaller hotels and churches as well as beach and park locations, we can either help you find a restaurant with a private or semi-private room for your wedding reception or a special place where your dream lunch or dinner can be catered. You can also make use of our reception planning module, to assist you in finding the perfect location.
