Stunning venue and amazing team

Our May 2025 wedding at Ragged Point was beautiful. The event coordinator Sandra was amazing to work with and the team was very efficient and flexible when we experienced hiccups on the day of. We were married at the Pagoda and had our reception at the Point - before retreating to the Cliff House due to the cold, lol. Also - the food is delicious! Everything turned out better than we possibly could have imagined. The location is so gorgeous and serene and the grounds are stunning. Even with the Rocky Creek road closure, there were so many nearby trails and sights to explore.

We did our own dried flower arrangements which did the trick given we wanted to save a bit of money and had to bring them on a 6-hour road trip to get there! We got our desserts catered from Linn’s in Cambria - so yummy (blackberry cream puffs - you gotta try em). For music, SLO-based classical guitarist Justin Martinez played bluegrass tunes, just awesome and so fitting.

We did have some qualms with the room booking process - the father of the groom was booked on the wrong dates and one guest, who attempted to cancel weeks in advance due to health complications, was told he could not be refunded despite his cancellation being within the deadline. These were resolved before the wedding day. Several of our guests expressed frustration that the room rate that they were given as part of our wedding group was vastly more expensive than the regular rate for that night on the website (booking at that time had opened up to non-wedding guests). I guess that’s just part of the deal with weddings!

The rooms are a bit in need of love and attention - the room we picked for our honeymoon suite was comfy with a lovely ocean view, but dated with the fireplace totally blacked out by coated smoke and some long black hairs in the shower. I think I actually prefer the upstairs Cliff House rooms best!

Overall an overwhelmingly positive experience, but wanted to be honest and include a few gripes so you get the whole picture. The event staff, food, and location - amazing!! Again, we loved working with Sandra and really appreciate all she did for us.

Dream coastal wedding

Booking our wedding with Ragged Point was perfect. They make it very easy to make changes and also having the catering on location made it very convenient. I loved having all of our guests stay on location and using the house for our wedding party was so much fun. Overall it was an amazing day and our dream wedding.

Thank you Ragged Point Inn for Perfect Wedding

It has only been a week since our daughter’s wedding and all 100 of our guest and participants are still glowing from the experience of a perfect wedding celebration.
We can’t thank Sandra and all the hardworking staff enough for making every single detail from our accommodations, rehearsal dinner and wedding perfectly wonderful.
We pretty much booked the entire venue Friday and Saturday night. It was so relaxing and fun to hang out with our friends and family in such a beautiful and comfortable setting.
All the food from the coffee shop, restaurant and catered meals was outstanding( and we are a family of food snobs). Everything was fresh and delicious!
We whole heartedly recommend the Ragged Point Inn for a wedding or any special event.

Ragged Point makes a perfect wedding venue

Our wedding at Ragged Point Inn was perfect and the pros there really knew how to hold a quality event. Sandra, the event coordinator, listened to what we wanted then guided us to the best decisions. Her communication via email, telephone, in person visits and even texts kept us informed and she encouraged us that all was going to be wonderful. We selected the prime rib buffet and it was absolutely delicious! I also used the on site bakery to make our wedding cakes and they were so delicious!!! I had a vanilla and a separate chocolate cake. All our guests were complimentary on the taste of the food, the quality of the staff's service, and of course the unique, gorgeous setting. The dinner was my number one item of importance and it met all my expectations.

Our room had the perfect view south along the coast and the in room fireplace made it so very romantic. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of room for getting ready for a wedding.

We also rented the entire Cliff House and that made a great meeting place and a post banquet dance location. The five rooms were perfect for my closet friends and family to gather and visit. We did a small rehearsal dinner there and it was tasty and relaxing.

I can't say enough about my love for Ragged Point. It's beautiful, unique location, the people who work there and the food they offer are amazing. We will be coming back soon!

Amazing Wedding

Ragged Point Inn and Resort provided an exceptional venue and service for our wedding day, as well as throughout the entire planning process. The breathtaking coastal scenery served as the perfect backdrop for our special day, creating a magical atmosphere that our guests won't soon forget. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and ensure that every detail was taken care of, from the delicious catering options to the comfortable accommodations for our guests. I can't recommend Ragged Point Inn and Resort highly enough for couples looking for a picturesque wedding venue with outstanding service.

One of a kind venue!

As a local professional wedding photographer and the owner of JLeigh Photography, I have had the opportunity to shoot at many different venues. However, Ragged Point is one that truly stands out for its breathtaking views and stunning backdrop for wedding photography.

Located right off the scenic Highway 1 in California, Ragged Point offers a one-of-a-kind experience for couples looking for a picturesque wedding venue. The moment you arrive, you are greeted with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and rugged cliffs, making for a dramatic and romantic setting.

The main ceremony site at Ragged Point is perched on a cliff, overlooking the ocean. Not only does this provide a stunning backdrop for the couple's exchange of vows, but it also offers a unique opportunity for aerial shots of the ceremony from above. The natural lighting at this location is also exceptional, making it ideal for capturing beautiful and natural outdoor photos.

The staff at Ragged Point is also top-notch. From the event coordinator Sandra to the on-site team, they are all extremely professional and accommodating. They go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of, making it a stress-free experience for both the couple and the photographer.

One thing that sets Ragged Point apart from other wedding venues is its versatility. Whether you are planning an intimate elopement or a grand outdoor wedding, this venue can cater to your needs.

Overall, Ragged Point is a photographer's dream. The stunning views, unique photo opportunities, and exceptional staff make it an ideal venue for capturing beautiful and memorable wedding photos. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical and picturesque setting for their special day.

July 2023 Wedding

We couldn't have gotten married anywhere else. We searched around many different venues but always came back to Ragged Point. It is our special, happy place. All of our guests LOVED it and we got so many compliments on what a gorgeous venue it was. Sandra, the venue coordinator, worked with us to make it work with our budget. We had our ceremony at the pagoda and the reception/dance party inside the solarium. The food was delicious! They helped us put some of our decorations out and are really flexible with picking up/packing up decorations the next day. It was also great having only our wedding guests at the venue the night-of. It was also great having everything done in house to minimize the number of vendors we had to deal with. Definitely would recommend and if we had to do it again, we'd always come back to Ragged Point.

Ragged Point is AWESOME!

Not only is Ragged Point one of the most beautiful venues, but also the staff is amazing - big shout out to Sandra! We had the time of our lives and everything went seamlessly. A big part was how helpful the venue was in finding excellent vendors and their patience/support in helping us plan. If you're looking for the perfect venue, then look no further!

Truly the best!

This was such a magical place to make my daughter’s dream wedding come true. The venue is amazing, the views are stunning, the staff is incredible, and the food was perfect. My daughter and (now) son in law felt so special and blessed having their ceremony celebrated with all their loved ones, and in a location very important to them. I wasn’t sure I could possibly make their dream come true, yet working with Sandra (events coordinator), she made it all happen in a way I could afford. She went above and beyond to make their day all it should be. The reception coordinator, Savana, made all my stress eased so I could fully enjoy the evening. The Cliff House is a must for your wedding party to stay in and for the bridal party to enjoy while getting ready. It’s so amazing and was perfect for our after party too. I highly recommend Ragged Point Inn for your special event. It will be magical for you as well.

Beautiful place, wonderful experience!

We had our wedding on 6/1/2023 at Ragged Point, and it was the most amazing experience we ever could have hoped for. We had a small wedding of 30 guests with the ceremony at the pagoda and the reception at the Cliff House. Our wedding party stayed at the cliff house for 2 nights (there's 5 rooms) and it was a perfect place to have a Welcome Dinner for everyone who traveled to be there. (Note: you can't cook in the kitchen, but we brought in pizza and snacks).

Sandra was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole process. If you can get out there for a tour with Sandra, the decision to have your wedding here will be easy. She walks you through everything, answers your questions, and will help you throughout the process as well. The staff were all lovely the entire time as well, from the set up crew to the wait staff.

I honestly could never say enough about how positive our experience was. We had a small wedding from 4pm-8pm on a Thursday, and a small group of us moved into the cliff house for the "after party" where we continued until about 11/12ish.

For the food, we had the prime rib buffet (truly delicious) and a beautiful cake from their bakery (don't forget to get flowers from the florist - we almost did!) We had a signature drink, beer, wine, and a cheese and fruit plate for the appetizers. It was all delicious.

We're just really grateful for our experience and couldn't have said "I do" in a more beautiful place. It's worth every penny!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
