An absolute dream

We booked Monterey Beach Station for our wedding (6/3/2023) and we cannot recommend them enough. For over a year prior to the event, the staff at Events by Classic was personable, organized, and always quick to answer all our questions. They made planning a wedding from the other side of the country so easy! The day itself was, in a word, perfect: the venue was beautiful, the staff all-around incredible, the food and drink fantastic. If you are planning a wedding in Monterey, you cannot go wrong with Monterey Beach Station. Special thanks to our venue coordinator Frankie who runs the tightest ship I've ever seen and is all-around FANTASTIC.

Stunning setting at Monterey Beach Station and wonderful service by Events By Classic

Absolutely wonderful experience having our wedding at Monterey Beach Station and working with Events by Classic (esp Charlene!).

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.

The perfect setting for our wedding

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding we could have ever dreamed of thanks to the Monterey Beach Station and the team that helped put it all together.
We wanted something close to town and casual yet elegant, and this place checked all of the boxes. What sold us was that it is the only beachfront wedding venue in Central California, and they make that the highlight of the day. From the ceremony, to beach games during cocktail hour, to bonfires and smores at night, everything is focused around the beach while still having the traditional dinner and reception inside.
We had Francesca as our venue coordinator and we cannot say enough good things about her. She was incredibly attentive, organized, and relaxed throughout the entire process. It made me feel confident that we were going to have an amazing day knowing how calm and assured she was. Francesca really made the planning process soooo easy - all we had to worry about was picking the food, linen colors, some decorations, and figuring out table arrangements. I couldn't imagine a smoother planning process. And the staff during the day was so wonderful and fun - some of them even joined us on the dance floor! We were able to fully enjoy our day because Francesca and her team made everything so flawless.
We could not have asked for better, and weeks later we are still relishing in how beautiful that day was. A lot of our guests have told us over and over again that our wedding was the BEST wedding they've ever been to, and we owe so much of that to the Monterey Beach Station. I highly recommend making this the place for your nuptials if you dream of a relaxed beach wedding and want most of the planning handled for you. 100/10 recommend!
