We had our wedding here September 2025 and everything turned out amazing. The day went by seamlessly with no mishaps. Lauren was our coordinator and we can't say enough wonderful things about her. She ensured everything was set up beautifully and created the perfect timeline. Her communication from before we even toured the venue to the very end was quick, thorough and kind. She helped create a stress free day for us as bride and groom. We were truly able to enjoy every part of our day without feeling rushed which we applaud her for. The venue is gorgeous and we got a bunch of compliments on the food.

we got married in September and Lauren was wonderful!!! she responded quickly and answered any and all questions we had!. She helped in making the most amazing day of our lives!!!!

We had our September wedding at Shorecliff Hotel and had the reception at Ventana Grill, and we absolutely loved it! From the beginning, we corresponded with Lauren from Ventana grill and worked out all of the details and such with her. She was always very responsive, gave recommendations when I needed them, was flexible, and always so friendly and helpful. Once we met in person I decided to hire her for the day-of coordinator which was such a good decision. With her years of experience she took care of everything and I didn’t have to stress about a single thing.
Ventana Grill was was perfect for our reception. Our guests enjoyed cocktail hour onsite and enjoyed the view from indoors as well as the patio. The food was delicious and the drinks as well! We really had zero complaints and our guests were in awe of the beautiful venue and ocean views.

I highly recommend this venue and Lauren as a coordinator.

Lauren and all the staff at Ventana Grill worked hard to create a smooth and seamless wedding day for my daughter and her husband. Everyone was kind, courteous, and professional. The room has stunning views of the ocean by day and at night with the addition of the ceiling drapery and lights the room was magical.

We worked with Lauren, who helped us create our dream wedding. She was so easy to work with and helped answer all of the questions we had. She even gave us suggestions for different bar options, decor, and the setup of the reception room and ceremony. Everything ended up being perfect and the reception service was seamless, everything was delicious!

I got the great opportunity to DJ a Friday evening Same Sex wedding. The two brides always wanted to have a beach front wedding and they just loved the ceremony site. Right after the wedding the entire group got to move over to the Ventana Grill where the staff helped out with everything. As a DJ I loved how easy it was to load in my equipment and how easy it was to break down my set up. The staff was amazing and I am looking forward to working at this location in the future. Please think of me as your dj www.DjSlix.com

We had our Big Day in August 2021, We worked first with Rachel and then with Lauren, all of our requests were fulfilled which made prep just before the ceremony easy. We felt supported by both Shore Cliff Hotel manager Barbara and by Ventana Grill restaurant for lovely celebratory meal. All of the guests stayed in the hotel and we all had a great time before the wedding , we enjoyed the ceremony and explored nature around the hotel a day after the wedding. Now we have a place to gather for years to come. Heated pool and Jacuzzi were very inviting and hotel breakfast was very good.

Ventana Grill was the best wedding site ever! Rachel was great in helping with all the details.

We loved working with Hannah and the staff at Ventana Grill! They were professional, detail oriented, accomodating, and attentive to our ceremony and dinner reception. The location was special to us prior to our engagement, but the staff made the day flawless for us and our guests.

Everything about this venue was perfect. I had originally planned to have my ceremony at Avila Beach but when my beach permit got denied, Macy at Ventana Grill saved the day with this cliff side ceremony location.
