Reviews of Monterey Beach Station
Review summary
Monterey Beach Station is highly praised by reviewers for offering a magical and stress-free wedding experience. The venue's beachside location is described as stunning and required minimal decoration. Guests were impressed with the delicious plated dinner and exceptional service provided by the professional and welcoming staff, especially coordinator Charlene. Reviewers appreciated the inclusive packages, beautiful scenery, and efficient planning process, making Monterey Beach Station a top recommendation for couples looking for a perfect wedding venue with exceptional staff and food.
Excellent experience!
From the beginning, the team at Monterey Beach Station was professional and helpful - they answered all our questions and quickly prepared a quote that was competitive and within our budget. Once we signed the contract, we were handed over to our Event Coordinator - Makenna - who was our dedicated contact through the planning and day-of.
Their company includes both the venue AND the caterer - sounds like their company started as a catering company, and the food was phenomenal! To taste their food and select our event menu, we attended a group tasting with about a hundred other people who were hosting events with their company…was a super smart approach, because we got to see them prepare and serve food for a large group in buffet-style service, as it would be at our wedding.
While all of the necessary items for a successful event are already included in the contract, beware of added costs for little “extras”, such as the outdoor string lights…these string lights would create a beautiful aesthetic, but we did not use them and still had plenty of light outside once the sun set, because the building has outdoor lighting.
Overall we had an amazing event and would recommend this venue and team!

Amazing amazing place for a wedding
As someone with no experience in event planning, I was grateful for our coordinator, Charlene, who guided me through every detail with such grace. Her support made the process feel effortless, and I hardly felt any stress leading up to the big day.
The venue itself is stunning and required very little extra decoration. I only added some simple flowers arranged by friends, and it looked beautiful. I opted for a plated dinner because serving my guests great food was a priority, and it did not disappoint. Everyone raved about how delicious the meal was!
The staff was incredibly kind and professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Charlene’s calm demeanor and expertise were key to making the day so perfect. Thanks to her and the entire team, I was able to fully enjoy my magical day without a single worry.
I wholeheartedly recommend Monterey Beach Station to anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue. They deserve so many more stars than just 5!
An absolute dream
