This review is for the Lodge at Pebble Beach - Library Room.

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin to describe such an incredible experience. In short, holding our wedding reception at the Lodge at Pebble Beach shifted the wedding reception to another level that I can't imagine would have been possible anywhere else! The longer story is below, but in short, I would highly recommend this venue to absolutely anyone who wants a first class experience and memory!

I am not someone who has been planning every detail of my wedding since I was little. With the pandemic, we decided that we have 4 healthy parents and really didn't want to delay getting married. Both my and my husband's parents got married the last week in December in 1979, so we decided that week has some significance and wanted to get married in December as well. We wanted an intimate wedding (we had 30 people total for our reception), great food, a beautiful and elegant vibe, and a really fun time. We reached out to multiple places but nothing felt quite right (e.g, delayed responses from venues, lack of availability, prices that were not justified by the experience, etc.). Then, I reached out to the Lodge at Pebble Beach and had the good fortune to get a reply from Jennifer Kirsch. This was the turning point of our experience! Ultimately, I first spoke with Jennifer in mid-September 2021 and we got married on December 30th ( about 3 months later). The entire reception was spectacular!

Once we contracted with Pebble Beach, the entire process was simple. We had a planning call with Jennifer to go over the menu and our vision for the wedding, and she requested we send her a link to a "vision board" on Pinterest (which we did easily), and she just made the wedding come to life as if by magic! Seriously, no stress! She listened to our goals, offered incredible ideas, and was so patient and kind with us.

I had never set foot in the Lodge before my wedding day. We planned it all remotely. When I stepped into our reception room, it took my breath away! I love candles and hate the idea of killing flowers, so we opted to go heavy on candles and light on flowers (I totally recommend this for other candle lovers). It created such an unbelievable atmosphere!

The customer service was on another level! Every single person we encountered at the Lodge went above and beyond. I am still receiving compliments the week after my wedding. For example, my mom can only have one type of wine (Moscato) without it triggering a migraine. I mentioned that to Jennifer and asked if we could have a bottle on hand. Not only did they have it on hand, but during cocktail hour when they were passing out the champagne, the waiter recognized my mom and brought her a glass of Moscato instead of champagne without her ever having to mention a thing and then ensured that she was poured Moscato for the rest of the night. The PB team delivered on that level of service for each guest all night!

Oh, the food! We did a flowing reception style reception followed by a dessert bar. Our guests went back 3, 4, 5, 6 times... I highly recommend the grand seafood display, wagu rib eye cap, and pasta stations as serious crowd pleasers. The bartender made fun drinks and I heard so many comments about how fun he made the bar.

I could go on and on but am out of space. :) We literally wouldn't change one thing. Also, if you need a music recommendation, check out my review on Dustin Heer. Thank you Pebble Beach!

My wife and I were married in August 2017 on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach Resort. Our main contact was Julie Bullas, Associate Director of Catering for the Pebble Beach Resorts. Julie was phenomenal in working with us, and our wedding planner for our big day. Julie is extremely organized and every aspect of using the venue for our wedding was taken into consideration by Julie and her team. Julie is well known by many vendors in the area who we leveraged to help in our planning (e.g. decorations/flowers for the wedding reception/dinner etc. and this was so helpful to us in saving time as we were from out of town and this was to be a destination wedding. Julie has excellent interpersonal skills and is highly imaginative when it comes to working with us and the wedding planner on ideas to make your special day even more special. We loved working with Julie and her team and highly endorse her and Pebble Beach Resorts for your special day be it a wedding or any other event. They are true professionals with a definite human touch!

Getting married on the 18th lawn at Pebble Beach was an absolute dream. This is literally one of the most beautiful locations I'd ever seen - especially for golf and beach lovers. Pebble Beach hosted both our ceremony and our reception. Everything was just absolutely perfect - from the beautiful scenery to the amazing behind-the-scenes resort team. My main point of contact was Francesca and she was simply the best. She is flexible, patient, responsive and a pleasure to be around. Even my family/friends could not stop gushing about Francesca. She coordinated every last detail with such grace and precision... the food, cake, floral and hair/make-up was just perfect. She takes the stress out of the planning. Without hesitation, I would recommend Pebble Beach and the entire staff, especially Francesca. You can not go wrong with choosing Pebble Beach for your wedding!
