I got my dream wedding

When I was 16 years old, my mom and me stayed at the hotel and watched a wedding happen. I loved it so much that I always talked about how that’s where I wanted to get married. My husband knew about this and actually asked me to marry him on the exact ocean terrace where I wanted to wed. Then I got married here in October after having to postpone twice! The intercontinental was so good at handling the covid nonsense and making my wedding exactly the way I wanted it. I definitely recommend!

Amazing Experience

The Intercontinental is an amazing venue with an absolutely exceptional staff! Hayle Leontieff spent about a year providing such amazing guidance and assistance. Her involvement in our wedding planning was invaluable and the services provided through the Finishing Touches packaged gave us such piece of mind on the big day. Between the venue space, meal options, and location, the Intercontinental is one of the absolute best options for weddings on the Central Coast.

Great place, highly recommend

Hayle Leontieff was great and thoroughly communicated with us about all of the preparations. She was very friendly and kind to my family and me and was open to all of our additional requests! The hotel itself was in great shape and the view of the water was gorgeous. The staff during our meal was very organized, responsive, and courteous and the food was delicious!

Wedding of the decade

My husband and I can not rave about the Intercontinental The Clement more. Our wedding was everything we hoped and dreamed it would be and that was all thanks to Hayle, Arlely and their teams. Hayle and Arely went above and beyond the call of duty not only for me but also for our family and friends. From the very beginning, Hayle was insanely easy to work with. Not only did she answer every question I had (and I had a lot) but she made sure to make herself available on all of my last minute pop ins with my in laws, parents, friends, and more. She was the key component to making sure our day went smoothly. She took on all responsibilites and set up the wedding using her own lense and it was PERFECT. She took my vision and her lense for the property and designed the perfect space for our reception and honeslty there was nothing that I would have changed. She is unbelievable sweet and helped with EVERYTHING and always had a smile on her face. We cant wait to come and celebrate our wedding for years to come back at the intercontinental and highly recommend this space to anyone who wants the perfect day, with the perfect view and the most amazing team to work with.

Thank you, Hayle and Arely for making our wedding day the absolute best day of our life. We are so thankful and appreciative of your hard work and welcoming us with open arms!

Dream wedding

I worked with Hayle to plan my wedding here. She was awesome to work with! She was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. She helped me create a perfect wedding for my small group of 13. The library room was the perfect space for my intimate wedding dinner/reception. They took care of all the set up/ break down. The servers were great as well! It was the perfect space and service for a wedding! Plus the hotel is just gorgeous.

Exceeded expectations

My husband and I chose the Intercontinental Clement as our wedding venue simply because of the genuine hospitality and warmth felt from the staff in our planning stages. We are from Chicago and being from out of town it was important to us that we could work with a staff who could carry out our vision on our special day, without consistently flying back and forth. Shelly Rodriguez, Hayle Leontieff and those who worked alongside of them exceeded our expectations and helped to make our special day perfect. Especially being out of town, it was nice to not have to worry about little details because we knew we were in great hands. I would certainly recommend to any couple near or far to consider this venue!

A Perfect Venue for a Seaside Wedding

There aren't enough positive things to say about our experience getting married at the Intercontinental. Perfect venue, staff, accommodations, food. The list goes on. There really is nothing negative we can say about our wedding day at the IC.

The catering manager, Hayle Leontieff, was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable about the venue and always responsive to our questions. She made it easy to complete our final BEO and determine the best way to utilize our money. We were never worried about how our vision would be executed. She was instrumental in helping our wedding planner make our dream come to life. We couldn't think of a more perfect venue for us to have our wedding.

We also can't emphasize enough how beautiful the location is. The layout of the IC was perfect for us personally since we could have the ceremony and reception in the same place! It was effortless. We purchased a wedding package that included the honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding. It came with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Very thoughtful and a great way to end our night.

All of our guests raved about what a beautiful venue it was and what a great night they had. We can thank the hotel itself and the staff for that. It's hard to beat a beautiful venue by the ocean. Guests had the option of sitting down at tables in the reception ballroom, mingle in the pre-function area by the bar outside of the ballroom, or go right outside to the patio where the ceremony was held and enjoy the scenery/weather. Having that sort of versatility for our guests was great, and it's important to know that not all venues have it.

Considering the IC provided all of these options to make our guests happy really shows how great a venue it is. You can expect getting your "bang for your buck" as some like to say. Money well spent. We can't wait to see our pictures to relive our perfect day. Thank you to the IC for everything!!

Easy and fuss free

I had a great experience working with Cara and her team at the Intercontinental. I felt comfortable and confident having them coordinate my wedding details at the hotel. I would highly recommend this beautiful venue.

Beautiful venue, amazing location, wonderful staff!

We fell in love with IC Clement as soon as we walked in - I still can't believe we are having our wedding here! Shelly really sealed the deal as far as finalizing our decision - she is incredibly professional and responsive - a dream to work with! We went back for a formal menu tasting and tour of the specific room we will have, and everything was great - I can't wait for our big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have had the good fortune of being an in-house music provider at the Intercontinental for many years now and can say that they provide a top-notch, boutique-feel wedding day experience every time. The on-site hotel lodging is excellent, the on-site ocean-front restaurant is as well and the surrounding area is really fun for your guests to enjoy as well. Great choice!
