Description
Many resorts have the word "beach" in their name, even though sometimes all you really get is a glimpse of sand between parking lots and tall buildings. Not so at Beach Resort Monterey. For the couple who dream of exchanging vows in full view of the rolling waves, an endless blue horizon, and the dynamic Monterey skyline, this is your place. It also has the delightful distinction of being one of the only resorts in the area located directly on the beach—and what a beach it is! Miles of pristine white sand stretch in either direction behind the resort. During the day sailboats dot the white-capped waters of the bay, and at night the lights of Monterey glitter on the far shore.
Of course, it takes more than a beautiful beach to make a first-class event space, and Beach Resort Monterey has a variety of venues. The versatile Bay View Room is conveniently located on the first floor, and can be dressed up for a wedding reception, or outfitted with telephones for a business meeting. A wedding reception, corporate event, or any type of large gathering can be held in one of the two ballrooms on the fourth floor. The Points Room has Victorian floral curtains, subdued teal carpets, and plenty of windows with a sweeping view of Monterey Bay. Air walls allow the ballroom to be divided, if desired. The La Grande Room is smaller than the Points Room, but virtually identical to it in all other respects, including the panoramic view.
With all this stunning scenery, you’d expect outdoor events at Beach Resort Monterey to be popular, and they are. Adventurous couples can be married on the beach or the North Terrace, and the resort will provide a wedding arch, white garden chairs and an aisle runner; you can also rent a gazebo for the ceremony. Sunsets are often breathtaking, so you might want to schedule your event to take advantage of the most spectacular light. Then as evening descends, retire indoors to one of the elegant ballrooms for dinner and dancing. Or stay right where you are, and have your reception outdoors—why not go for something casual and fun, like a luau or clambake? The staff can even customize your wedding package with specialty menu items and décor to enhance the beach-party theme.
If you want to be married outdoors, but still crave a bit of formality, there’s the Wedding Garden, an intimate, lushly planted lawn area, set up with a white runner, chairs and a white latticework arch. No matter what kind of event you envision, when you have it at Beach Resort Monterey, you not only have access to your very own "backyard" beach, you can stay over and enjoy all that this famous coastal region has to offer.
