At Courtyard by Marriott Sand City Monterey, a venue in Monterey, California, weddings aren’t just events—they’re moments that last a lifetime. Opening January 2026 along the stunning Monterey Bay coastline, our brand-new hotel is designed to be the backdrop for your “I do,” blending modern elegance with the natural romance of California’s central coast.
From the first look to the final dance, every detail is crafted to celebrate your story. Whether you envision a grand celebration with up to 180 guests or an intimate micro-wedding with your closest circle, our versatile spaces adapt to fit your dream. Exchange vows in a stunning ceremony space, then gather for a joyful reception, from cozy dinners to nights filled with laughter and endless dancing. Outside, our open-air piazza glows with fire pits and starlight—perfect for cocktails, toasts, or a lingering farewell brunch the next morning.
As you prepare for the day, a private dressing room offers a serene space to gather with your bridal party. Throughout it all, our attentive team ensures every detail is seamless, whether that’s bartenders keeping spirits bright or chefs serving fresh, locally inspired dishes that bring a taste of the coast to your table.
For those you cherish most, our dual-hotel destination makes celebrating together effortless. The Residence Inn Sand City Monterey, connected to the Courtyard, offers spacious suites with full kitchens, ideal for families, bridal parties, or anyone extending the celebration into a weekend getaway.
And beyond the wedding itself, Monterey’s romance continues. Stroll Cannery Row, sip wine in Carmel-by-the-Sea, visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, explore the trails of Fort Ord Dunes State Park, or share a quiet moment on the iconic shores of Pebble Beach. Your wedding becomes more than a day—it becomes a story woven with coastal beauty and unforgettable memories.
At Courtyard Sand City Monterey, we don’t just host weddings, we create the setting for the next chapter of your love story.
