"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 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."
"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 "
"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"

This venue was the perfect fit for us. Beautiful, unique, and they took care of all of our needs. The Cambria Pines Lodge has the wedding thing down to a science, I wasn't worried at on wedding day about anything that they were in charge of. The events coordinator was very easy to work with and more than willing to answer all of my questions throughout the planning process. I really would highly recommend this venue!

This venue does not provide a place for the wedding party to prepare unless you stay at the hotel. For some people (like us) this extra cost is not in the budget.They would have received 5 stars if they could provide a dressing room.

Cambria Pines Lodge responded with the following comments:

With certain wedding packages, a free room is provided for the Bride & Groom on their wedding night. They also receive a wedding discount on other nights along with rooms we block for the wedding guests that would like to stay at the hotel. We strive to help our customers in every way possible.

The front desk staff always treated my mother and I with respect and were very willing to accommodate requests. But several of my guests mentioned that the front desk staff was a bit rude or unwilling to accommodate them.

Late check outs for the entire wedding party would have been very helpful, when asked for this, the front desk staff was only minimally accommodating.

Cambria Pines Lodge responded with the following comments:

We are always willing to accommodate a late check-out time needed for a bride and groom and those that have worked so hard to help plan the wedding (like parents).

The site was nice, but it was an average experience. The coordinator was flexible and helpful during the planning process, but the day of the event I had to seek her out when we arrived at the hotel and I did not see her again after our quick conversation. The food was good and was a good value for the money. I wasn't disappointed in the experience, but I didn't feel I got exceptional service either. Overall, this venue was average.

We had the most beautiful wedding and that was thanks to all of the services provided by Cambria Pines Lodge. The setting was magnificent, the food was incredible, and the amenities provided were superb. The cost of everything was unbeatable! Thank you, Cambria Pines Lodge and Rebecca Ramos for helping us make our most important day completely unforgettable.

Cambria Pines Lodge was very easy to work with, and accommodated all my special requests with no additional costs. I highly recommend this venue as an alternative to the typical beach weddings which you usual see around here. Cambria Pines Lodge was well worth the money.

We had a beautiful garden wedding at the Cambria Pines Lodge. Our wedding ceremony was in the white garden, and our reception in the green garden, photos in the rose garden and butterfly garden and there were still plenty of grounds to meander through. We were worried about the gardens bouncing back from that winter's frost and boy did they!

The Lodge did a fantastic job caterign the event. The food was delicious and the service for our sit down meal was excellent. This was a great relief as they do not provide a menu tasting service.

Cambria Pines Lodge responded with the following comments:

Cambria Pines Lodge actually does provide tastings now! We are so happy to have incorporated this into our services this year!

Perfect Romantic location. The staff was very friendly! We had our ceremony outside in the Gazebo and the reception in the Peacock Room, loved it. Felt it was a good value for the cost. The food was incredible! Everyone loved it!!!! We stayed in the honeymoon suite and it was everything we hoped it would be. The one down side was that there was no room service after our evening ceremony so there was no way to get any drinks or food and the town is very small so nothing was open after 11 (for food). :) Some of our guests found that annoying.
