Why We Like This Place

For the couple who dream of exchanging vows in full view of rolling waves, an endless blue horizon, and the dynamic Monterey skyline, this is your place. It also has the delightful distinction of being the only resort in the area that’s located directly on the beach and can accommodate beach ceremonies. Miles of pristine white sand stretch in either direction; 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 facility, and Beach Resort Monterey has a variety of newly renovated venues, thanks to its 2008, $6 million makeover. 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 Ballroom has plenty of windows with a sweeping vista of Monterey Bay. Air walls allow the ballroom to be divided if desired. The La Grande Room is smaller than the Points Ballroom, 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 South Terrace, and the resort will provide a wedding arch, white chairs and an aisle runner. Sunsets are often breathtaking, so you might want to schedule your event to take advantage of the most spectacular light.

If you’d like to be married outdoors but still crave a bit of formality, there’s the Wedding Garden, a secluded, lushly planted lawn area set up with a white runner, chairs and a white latticework arch.

As evening descends, retire indoors to one of the elegant ballrooms for dinner and dancing. Or 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.

For an intimate rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch, the Café Beach Restaurant on the hotel’s top floor serves up panoramic views of the ocean and Monterey skyline along with its California Coast cuisine.

The resort is a great place for a destination wedding, because in addition to its flexible event spaces it boasts upgraded guestrooms that make staying here a pleasure. Amenities include 42″ flat panel HD TVs, motorized shades, iPod clock radios, and platform beds. Oceanside rooms provide sea views, too. At the Beach Resort Monterey you and your guests not only have access to your very own “backyard” beach, you can take a little vacation and enjoy all that this famous coastal region has to offer.
