TPC Monterey at Pasadera

Every couple always envisions a fairytale wedding that is unforgettable and unique. We could have never imagined that a venue could impact the most important day of our lives in such a manner that guests to this day continue to say “our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended!” That’s saying a lot because both sides of our families are Filipinos and we have large families that attend many nuptials!

The Club at Pasadera was the first venue we visited and we immediately fell in love with it! From the first phone call to schedule a site visit, Carl Cortez was enthusiastic and accommodating. Carl is a wedding whisperer. He is amazing and exceptional. He was instrumental to the success of our wedding! He literally was our 2nd wedding planner and went above and beyond to make our fairytale wedding a reality!

Carl took away many of the unexpected stresses that come when planning a big wedding (almost 200 guests). Carl listens and always comes up with solutions to ensure your vision is executed. He constantly provides suggestions that complement and enhance our wedding vibe and theme. When we did our tasting, Carl was so helpful in explaining the menu and helping us pair the different types of food. Carl is very organized and keeps us updated on all the deadlines. He works seamlessly with all the vendors and does everything in his power to make sure the vendors have what they need to make our wedding day perfect. He returns calls, emails and texts immediately. Most importantly, Carl always has cost in mind and made sure we stayed within our budget without compromising our vision. When we told him we wanted a “Lechon” served during cocktail hour as part of our Filipino culture tradition, he said no problem. When we told Carl that we wanted Sunday Mass Service before our “Goodby Brunch”, he said how many people so he could find a room. When our “surprise” Drone show was canceled two days before our wedding, Carl worked his magic and gave us suggestions of companies to call to see if we could rent a big screen and project the drone show on the lawn. Wow, the “surprise” drone show was salvaged and our guests never knew what really happened and the “Drone movie” became the highlight of the evening!

The Club at Pasadera is a beautiful venue. From the gated entrance to the gentle rolling hills and greenery to the Spanish inspired Clubhouse and fountain courtyard, your guests will feel as if they were transported to Spain. What makes The Club at Pasadera a perfect venue for weddings is that there are many rooms and courtyards for guests to experience and mingle. The flexibility for guests to be in intimate or large gatherings all under one roof was a big hit, no one got bored or left early. When it got chilly in the evening, the staff lit the propane heaters to make sure our guests were comfortable.

In addition to the complimentary golf for the bride and groom and the special golf rates for some of our guests, the biggest perk for having our wedding at The Club at Pasadera was the 5 bedrooms lodge for the bride and bridal party to get ready and sleep over. The convenience of the location was extraordinaire.

Lastly and most importantly, everyone was raving about how delicious the food at The Club at Pasadera was, especially the Prime Rib! From the Hors d'oeuvres to the customized late snacks (clam chowder (both Boston and New England), garlic fries and chicken strips), everything was absolutely scrumptious. For dinner, we chose the buffet menu to make sure everyone got to choose what they wanted to eat and to make sure no one left hungry. The presentation and the quality of the food was exceptional. And we can’t forget the bartenders who created our signature drinks, Espresso Martinis and Margaritas!

The staff is what makes The Club at Pasadera superior. They truly care and make everyone feel special. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!

Sincerely,
Francis + Mirabella Sunga

Our wedding at TPC Monterey at Pasadera was perfect, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team. From the moment we began planning through the final moments of our wedding day, every detail was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine hospitality.

The venue itself is breathtaking. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the setting was, from the stunning grounds to the elegant event spaces. Pasadera provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives, and our guests are still talking about it.

A very special shout-out goes to Carl Cortez, Director of Events & Catering, who truly went above and beyond to bring our dream wedding to life. From day one, Carl was incredibly responsive, thorough, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. No question went unanswered, no detail was too small, and his dedication to ensuring everything was exactly as we envisioned made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. We always felt supported and confident knowing Carl was guiding us every step of the way. His passion for what he does shines through, and we are so grateful for the care and attention he poured into our wedding.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the F&B and banquets teams! The food was exceptional, and their level of service was truly outstanding. They went above and beyond at every turn, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly while making us, our families, and our guests feel welcomed and cared for throughout the entire celebration.

Thank you to everyone at Pasadera for creating an unforgettable experience. We will forever cherish the memories made there and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for exceptional service, outstanding food, and a truly beautiful place to celebrate life's most meaningful moments.

We just had our wedding at the club at pasadera and it was hands down the best experience working with any vendor or venue I’ve ever had. From beginning to end we were treated great, with flexibility and responsiveness. Carl and his team were always available for any questions or accommodation we had. The venue itself is beautiful and well kept, every staff member we encountered was beyond nice, and the villa included for weddings was what sealed the deal for us. We had a beautiful and roomy place to get ready, and a safe and familiar place to return after. It was also a great option for our daughter once she was ready for bed, she was with the sitter in walking distance from us at all times. And the food was just the cherry on top! Every guest had nothing but great things to say! Thank you Carl and your team for making our experience unforgettable. To top it all off we

Where do I begin? First of Carl Cortez is a delight to work with from the initial tour all the way to the wedding and even after! He is friendly, welcoming, accommodating and so much more! He is actually one of the reasons why we booked the venue! He listened and really captured our vision and he ensured we receive what we envisioned. We are so grateful for him and his team through our wedding planning journey! Now to the venue!… the venue speaks for itself it’s absolutely stunning on its own! It’s beautiful views the multiple rooms that were available to use for the wedding and the best part the courtyard! I fell in love with it! Our guests were in awe of the venue we keep getting compliments on how stunning and beautiful the venue was. Also it was very helpful that there was a lodge for us to use which helped with me (bride) getting ready and with all my bridal party! We were on time ;) Our overall experience is beyond what we expected. We had a Mexican/American wedding and the venue was so helpful to ensure we had the entertainment we wanted (Banda, mariachi, violinist & DJ) Carl and his staff made everything soooo easy and stress free which is very important in wedding planning. The food was amazing as well Chef Colin & Chef Peter were able to make up a Mexican menu for our guests and we have received endless comments of how delicious the food and appetizers were. We didn’t have to hire different vendors for cocktails or food or waiters- Pasadera had everything. I would recommend this venue to everyone they made my wedding very special and a wedding my guests will remember!

We couldn’t haven’t been more impressed with The Club at Pasadera and their team. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, the service from every employee exceeded all expectations and the food was just phenomenal. We had a beautiful Tuscany theme going and the Chef helped us create a curated menu that reflected Pasadera’s best plates while also keeping the Italian theme. We loved being able to collaborate with the staff and cannot imagine getting married anywhere else. The Club will forever hold such a special place in our hearts and we can’t wait to make visiting the venue a tradition. We cannot say thank you ENOUGH to Carl and his team for making our wedding day the best day of our lives.
Love, Tayler and Michael

The Club at Pasadera was our dream wedding venue come true! The grounds are beyond gorgeous and were the perfect backdrop for our summer garden wedding. The food was delicious and our tasting was phenomenal. The staff helped us craft our own perfect menu. Everything we wanted, they made it happen - from our champagne welcome, to our late night snacks on the dance floor, and they even remembered to send us home with dinner after the big event was over. The Lodge, which is available the weekend of the wedding, is a perfect space for any bridal party. We loved hearing our guests rave about how amazing the wedding was and the Club at Pasadera was the center of it all!

Gorgeous venue with so many picturesque spaces for photos. Amazing service from the wait staff and their event coordinator, Allyson! The microwedding package they provide makes wedding planning easy and affordable. The package covered everything we needed, we tailored the menu to our liking and guests raved about how delicious the food was. High quality venue, food and alcohol, it was the perfect setting for our big day.

Words cannot begin to describe our May wedding at the Nicklaus Club - Monterey. The service, the staff, the venue itself... It was perfect, and our wedding could not have been any better. Debbie Monti was the first person we met on our site visit, and we instantly were comfortable with her and impressed by the venue. By the end of our tour, we were sold. Danielle, our banquet coordinator, was so professional and helpful in navigating the multiple allergies we had to work around. Paige, our day of coordinator, was the best in the world. Every single detail was executed to the "t" - there were no distractions, no problems, and if there were then they were handled in a way that didn't make them our problem on our wedding day. We are so grateful for the team that gave us such a perfect day, the wait staff that kept dinner flowing, the chef for the amazing food, even the gate guard who ensured our day started with a smile and congratulations! There is not a single employee who didn't have an impact on the day we had, and we wouldn't trade it for the world. If the appearance of this venue itself doesn't win you over, know the staff there will make your day perfect.

We had our engagement dinner here and it was amazing! Great staff!

Even though the Nicklaus Club went through a lot of turnover during our wedding planning, everything still worked out perfectly. In fact, they even hired an event coordinator just specifically for our wedding. The food and drinks were all great, and the venue was absolutely beautiful. The venue also did a great job of perfectly setting out our personal decorations. The lodge is also a must! It was a perfect location to spend extra time with your friends and family!
