Pierpont is amazing

First of all, the whole venue is naturally gorgeous. It is a historic hotel, with a view of the beach, and has such a lovely antique charm. The Rose Garden is so beautiful on it's own, that we barely even needed and decorations. Likewise in the Pavilion for the Reception.
All of the staff are awesome. During the wedding, they were on top of EVERYTHING, and they were so kind while doing it. Stephanie, the banquet coordinator who helped us prepare everything, is a doll. We could not have done this wedding without her, she is amazing. Everything about my experience with the Pierpont is 100% possitive.

Fairytale perfection

The Pierpont Inn’s antique charm, dreamy gardens, and proximity to the beach made it the perfect place for our wedding. The grounds have a ton of gorgeous views and beautiful scenery, so there are plenty of different backgrounds for photos. The hotel’s restaurant also provides the catering, which was delicious beyond expectation. The events staff we extremely helpful and receptive to the inevitable adjustments that come with weddings. We were able to easily arrange for a room block and all our guests who stayed there said how much they enjoyed it. We already have plans to stay again for our 1 year anniversary!

I cannot even being to express how perfect this venue was and how perfect my wedding was. I'm not kidding or exaggerating; it was literally perfect.
The venue itself is a hidden gem. I would have never looked at it twice if it weren't for a client of mine insisting that I go look in person. I am beyond thankful for that push because it was exactly what I wanted. The ceremony site (rose garden) was like a snow white/fairytale area and the 2 cottages on that site made it perfect to get ready/ store all the decor items. The reception area (pavillion) is gorgeous! It is such a blank slate that you can easily go rustic or easily go glamorous. I chose glamorous and it was just beautiful. Stephanie is their catering manager and I don't know how to thank her enough. She was patient, kind, and went above and beyond for us whenever she could.
Overall my wedding has given me nothing, but the best memories and a lot of that is because of this venue.

Such a beautiful experience with the Pierpont Inn. Thet were not only helpful and reasnably priced, but our wedding was amazing. There was some challenges because of rain, and all of the staff pulled together to make a beautiful arch way inside where we had to move the ceremony. I highly recommend this venue.

We are so glad we chose the Pierpont for our January wedding. We had the most perfect day. Our ceremony was held in the rose garden, which did not need a single extra flower. It is beautiful on it's own. The Pavilion was the perfect place for our reception. Plenty of dancing space. The staff did a great job with set-up and serving our guests. Everything was on time and the food was delicious. It was so nice to not have to worry about rentals, deliveries, or an outside catering company. We stayed in the cottage next to the rose garden, which made everything even more special. Our guests were very happy with the rooms and all services. Thanks to Stephanie for accommodating all our requests and making sure everything was perfect. We could not be happier.

After 2 years of engagement, my fiance and I decided to get married at the Pierpoint Inn in Ventura. After searching up and down the central coast, we couldn't have landed at a better spot, both in price and location. The coordinator, Stephanie Lundquist, was extremely accommodating in helping us put together everything we needed for the perfect wedding, all while staying within budget. The food options were excellent. The wait staff was prompt and professional. Plus, they lavished us with bonuses, including a free stay at one of their cottages. If you're looking to get married in the area, I couldn't recommend this location and its attentive staff highly enough.

This place was the perfect setting for our wedding. Jecca was very accommodating and guided us through all of the little details. Our guests from out of town loved staying there. The staff was amazing and very professional. The guests loved the food. Even with the rain, our ceremony was beautiful. We are so glad we chose this place for our big day!

The Pierpont Inn is fabulous for a wedding venue! My husband and I wanted a beach view for our venue and the Pierpont’s Beach Bluff is stunning. Although, you can hear the 101 traffic, it isn’t noticeable when everyone is chatting and the music is playing. The venue has a great flow from the ceremony, to cocktail hour to the reception. Along with the beauty of the venue, it is convenient for everyone. Our guests were thrilled by the location and grounds and guests who didn’t stay had an easy time finding parking and could leave their car if necessary.

As many people know, The Pierpont Inn is going through construction, but it really isn’t noticeable. The hotel has made great efforts to hide the construction and work on other areas of the hotel, like the landscaping. The flowers, grass and outdoor area looked beautiful.

Although the construction did make things a little nerve racking, the Event Planner, Nicole, eased all of my concerns. She was amazing! She returned all emails in a very timely manner, helped myself and parents with questions multiple times, and organized a perfect day. More times than not, she would anticipate my questions and have an answer for me immediately. Yes there were some bumps in the planning process, but they were minor and I trusted that Nicole would handle any and everything that came our way. Also, her assistant Jecca, was always very nice and available to step in and help too!

The Pierpont Inn felt like they actually cared about the wedding and the execution. Myself and family didn’t feel like we were working with a corporate machine, which was great. All of the staff at the wedding were so kind and friendly. Also, in our bridal suite we had a very sweet gift basket with a hand signed card from them!

I would 100% recommend The Pierpont Inn to anyone getting married in Ventura. It is affordable, beautiful and has an amazing staff!

Thank you for making my day perfect!

Everyone was so accommodating to any request I had. My guests keep raving about how beautiful the location and wedding was. I am so happy we had our wedding at the Pierpont, it exceeded every expectation I had!!
