About

When you get married here, plan to stay long enough to take full advantage of all this friendly, family-oriented lodge and the Central Coast have to offer!

Although the front of the Main Lodge resembles a huge, modern-day log cabin, the grounds behind it bring to mind a lovely English garden. Rows of sculpted hedges separated by paths, bushes and beds of vibrantly colored flowers meander among Monterey pines. Next to the garden, a broad lawn serves as both ceremony and reception site for outdoor weddings. Couples get married in a white lattice gazebo at one end, and dance on a patio in front of a covered bandstand at the other; the entire expanse of grass in between is turned into an al fresco dining room filled with linen-covered tables.

Indoor receptions are held in the Peacock Ballroom. With wall coverings of rosy beige, it derives additional warmth from an abundance of pine wainscoting and trim. Other pluses are a high ceiling, movable dance floor, adjustable lighting and a built-in, granite-topped pine bar. After the celebration, you and your guests can chat it up in the Lounge, where a fire blazes in the floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace, and chandeliers glow overhead. If you’re fortunate enough to be here for a few days, there’s a world of things to do outside the Lodge, too. Cambria itself is a quaint village, noted for its local artists and craftspeople and filled with shops, galleries and boutiques. Hearst Castle is a mere eight miles to the north, the beach is minutes away, and wine tasting has become a popular pastime in surrounding San Luis Obispo County.

Cambria Pines is a great place and great value. They are extremely experienced at weddings and have the wedding reception flow down perfectly. There food is always great and they never run out. Their site allows you to have an all in one experience with ceremony site, reception site, catering, and lodging all in one spot. Having the hotel on property means you don't have to worry about your guests getting back to their hotel safely. You won't be disappointed with these guys. -Beau Kramer, Kramer Entertainment Inc.
I have photographed at the Cambria Pines Lodge for over 13 years and have enjoyed photographing there every time. The Lodge has one of the most beautiful gardens on the Central Coast. The grounds are immaculate, colorful, and perfect for the background of your wedding photographs. The food, the service, the ambiance, the staff- all make for a wonderful experience for your wedding and reception. Mark Nakamura, Nakamura's Photography
Cambria Pines is a lovely setting for your wedding. The main garden area is so beautiful that not much decoration is required for your outdoor ceremonies and receptions...the smaller gardens are perfect for photographs before or after your ceremony. The large ballroom helps to keep the weather fear at bay. Your guests will enjoy staying in this charming Inn. Taffy Gonzalez, Owner of All Traditions Wedding Coordination, Invitations & Linen Rentals

If you're looking for one of the best expressions of the Central Coast, Cambria Pines is it. They have such a great staff, and the idea that your guests can all stay on the property is perfect. Garden ceremony / inside reception with style, it just works. They get our recommendation every time, .................DJ Bob
