Planning a Monterey wedding is about more than a venue — it’s about weaving the natural beauty and local character of the coast into your celebration. The Monterey Wedding Guide brings together historic estates, lush gardens, elegant ballrooms, and oceanfront terraces from across Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, Big Sur, and Monterey itself. You’ll also find trusted local vendors, galleries of real weddings, and inspiration on how to feature Monterey’s own touches — from vineyards and wineries to seasonal produce and coastal cuisine.
