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!
Dream Beach Wedding with Amazing Food and Service!
On the day of, their experience really showed. It was super windy, and Charlene had great advice on how to handle my long veil. They were prepared for everything. The food was also a major highlight — all of our guests complimented how delicious it was! Thank you so much to the Events by Classic team for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!
Happily Ever After by the Sea
We had the pleasure of working with Charlene as our wedding event manager. She was very responsive to our many planning questions, extremely organized, down to earth, and made our entire wedding seamless.
We also really loved this venue as it is very dog-friendly. We knew we had to have our dog as a part of our special day and the Monterey Beach Station welcomed her with open arms.

Beautiful Venue
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 place for a wedding!
An absolute dream
Stunning setting at Monterey Beach Station and wonderful service by Events By Classic
Monterey Beach Station is such a hidden gem. We knew almost immediately from walking in the door that we wanted to have our wedding there. It’s located right on the beach, allowing you to have a ceremony in the sand, yet perfectly modern inside. Events By Classic is very experienced and executed a flawless event. The planning was so stress free and so was the day of. Charlene and team were truly wonderful, we felt relaxed and we were able to just enjoy the whole day and not worry about a thing. Our guests raved about the service, the food (tri-tip especially) and the location. 10/10 would recommend.
