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. -

Mary Sent on 09/07/2024Thank 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.

Patricia Sent on 07/06/2024Ragged 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! -

Jleigh Sent on 03/14/2024One 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. -

Michele Sent on 08/30/2023Truly 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. -

Jenny Sent on 08/12/2023Beautiful 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! -

It all came down to the staff
No doubt the venue location is spectacular and inspires a true sense of awe and wonder. The California central coast can't be beat for the blue skies, green trees and the sound of the crashing waves below. But, for us, it all came down to the staff at Ragged Point. Sandra, Junior, Nancy and Roger were amazing...their professionalism, experience and spot on suggestions made our son and his bride's wedding the special, memorable day they planned over a year for. Any questions we had were answered quickly, any request we had was accommodated if humanly possible. Sandra was so easy to work with and her staff was pleasant and responsive to our needs. Chef Junior made two delicious meals for us, the rehearsal dinner (Italian pasta bar) and the wedding reception the next day. I don't know how he did it but he served over 100 people outside on a rather chilly day tasty, HOT food. Amazing! Can't thank the staff at Ragged Point enough for being an essential part of our wedding team. -

We had a magical weekend at Ragged Point with all of our wedding guests. The venue is stunning and the staff is always so kind and helpful. Sandra helped us plan a perfect day. The bakery onsite provided a delicious cake, and the restaurant chef provided an amazing meal experience. Having all of those items available onsite made our destination wedding much more stress free. This gorgeous location made our wedding dreams come true, we look forward to coming by to check our lock for years to come. -

Melanie Sent on 12/21/2022The location of my wedding dreams!!!!!
WOW. I loved my wedding simply because it was at RPI. From the beginning of the process to the very end, Sandra was an absolute joy to work with. A wedding is expensive so I loved knowing the money was going to a small, family-owned business. For Big Sur, this is the best, most affordable venue and it is also the most accessible.
I wanted my wedding to be a whole weekend away, like a mini destination wedding. This was the perfect venue for that because my guests rented out the whole venue friday and saturday. We hosted people for a welcome party friday night at the cliff house, had the wedding in the solarium on saturday, had an after party at the cliff house, and also invited them for a grab n go bagel brunch in the cliff house sunday morning before saying good bye. I saw my guests alllllllllll weekend and loved every second!
If I had to complain about anything it would be that the solarium isn't really big enough for dancing. But Sandra and her crew are used to this so after dinner they push the tables back. I really pushed the boundaries of the guest limits (90 guests is really the max for the solarium). If I had gone outdoors then my problems would have been resolved.
I used most of my vendors from their recommended list as well and really liked them all (except the DJ, not a fan of the particular DJ I had at Epic Entertainment). But Sandra did a great job at helping me find great people and companies, even through the pandemic.
The food is notoriously top-notch, but I would complain that there wasn't enough of it. If I had known I would have ordered more appetizers for cocktail hour. Everything tasted great though. I also think there was some miscommunication over the bar, but RPI has a great policy and price for alcohol. Again, something that I put on myself as I was a pretty casual bride and didn't plan very well. Having not planned things much though, I had a fabulous wedding and credit most of it to Sandra and RPI for hosting us. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Do the buy-out for larger weddings! -

Sandra was an absolute delight to work with. She was very helpful and made good suggestions on planning our wedding
On 11-11-22 we had our dream wedding at the ragged point. We were worried this time of year it was gonna be a cold and uncomfortable but it turned out to be a perfect sunset wedding. Sandra and her team provided excellent service and our wedding went absolutely perfect. We wouldn’t change anything about our wedding and we can’t thank you enough to Sandra and the Ragged Point fir the most perfect wedding! -

My husband and I absolutely loved our Ragged Point wedding! Sandra, her daughter Lisa, and the entire Ragged Point team were amazing to work with. I really felt like they cared just as much about Nate and I’s wedding as we did! Every single one of my guests loved the location and the food, and the value was incredible as well. Looking back, I would not change a single thing about the wedding, and that’s completely due to Ragged Point Inn and their staff. Cannot recommend highly enough! -

As a central coast wedding planner, I can't express enough how BEAUTIFUL Ragged Point Inn is for your special events, especially for a newly engaged couple looking for their dream wedding venue.

Ragged Point Inn Wedding
Ragged Point was the perfect place for my husband and I to get married! It is absolutely gorgeous! I had many guests saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

Kiersten Sent on 10/30/2019Amazing venue that shines like a diamond
Ragged Point Inn really is the Portal to Big Sur. There are coastal views to the north and south and an amazing garden in the middle that is the most magical place to get married. No wonder it's constantly hosting weddings!
The staff is super nice and more than accommodating. I had a whole hotel buyout and Chris at the front desk always took the time to go through the entire hotel room booking with me. Cindy, the manager helped me fix a booking snafu with another customer from Singapore. And Sandra, the event coordinator walked us through all of our questions and ran such a tight ship day of, I didn't notice that any work was being done at all.
I was lucky enough to be able to stay for four whole days over my wedding weekend and the last day I just got to chill out and enjoy the view from the Cliff House. The suns reflection literally sparkled like a diamond from sunrise to sunset over the pacific ocean. I am so lucky to have had the Cliff House and Ragged Point as the home of my wedding with all of my family and friends. It truly was magical. And every guest said so! -

My husband and I are so happy with our wedding experience at Ragged Point Inn! Sandra and Lisa were incredible to work with and made every step of planning seemingly effortless. We had 92 guests and rented out the entire venue so we could run amuck around the magical property! Every aspect of our wedding was perfect. The staff was very accommodating. The food was SO good! We opted for the BBQ option and our guests were very pleased. Oh! and the cake was beautiful and tasted delicious! We have heard numerous times from our guests, "that was the BEST WEDDING EVER!" Thank you, Sandra and your team! Our wedding exceeded my expectations! -

Gorgeous place for a wedding!
My husband and I just had our wedding at Ragged Point Inn and Resort and it blew away any expectations that we had. The location and views are unbelievable. Sandra is very easy to work with and is very organized. She answered any and all questions we had and helped us prepare for our big day. She helped coordinate the rehearsal and the day of. On the day of she works with all of the vendors to make sure everything goes smoothly. Everything went very smooth. I would definitely recommend the venue and working with Sandra. -

Alexis Sent on 07/04/2019Dream Wedding Come True!
My husband and I chose Ragged Point and their team and would recommend it to anyone who wants to make their dream wedding a reality! We are from Bakersfield and we were driving along Hwy 1 when we stopped to see this beautiful place, even before we were looking for venues. We couldn’t seem to get RPI out of our minds when the time came to start looking. We were pleasantly surprised with the pricing for all that is included. Sandra, the wedding coordinator, and her team were fantastic to us. She was welcoming and professional at all times, as well as accommodating. She was also extremely helpful with answering my MANY questions! The restaurant at RPI catered our wedding and made our cake as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. Having our rehearsal dinner and wedding party stay at the Cliff House for the weekend was also one of our favorite parts of the whole weekend. It was so much fun to have all the friends and family stay in one place and spend time together. The ceremony grounds and Solarium reception area were gorgeous. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We are so happy! -

Great venue and great team, delivering a perfect wedding
Our daughter's wedding on December 1, 2018 at Ragged Point Inn was magical. After getting engaged June 8, 2018, plans quickly focused on finding a venue that could accommodate their desire to be married by the end of the year, limit destination wedding challenges and deliver a great experience for their guests.
Ragged Point Inn & Resort was the perfect choice, combining a stunning location and a team of skilled event professionals who understood immediately what our bride and groom wanted. From the first phone call to Sandra, our concerns evaporated. Sandra and her daughter, Lisa, could not have been more accommodating and focused on helping us quickly lock in the best vendors, from the wedding officiant, our amazing florist, tent vendor and DJ! Sandra was always available, upbeat and extremely helpful in providing ideas to consider. With Sandra and Lisa on board, I chose not to hire a wedding planner. Sandra was our Day of Coordinator and she and her team did not miss one detail!
Our guests raved about the food. Thanks to the Chef for everything: from an amazing Friday night BBQ; Saturday's signature cocktails and delicious appetizers under the tent; and the plated dinner in the Solarium for 90 guests, featuring salmon, chicken and beef tenderloin, quickly dubbed "the most delicious tenderloin - ever!" Their delicious carrot cake topped off the night. We also want to thank our team of servers and bartenders who worked with us the entire weekend and became part of our wedding family. And the reservations team who made each guest feel welcome from their first minute on the phone.
Other decisions:
* We bought out the entire Inn for Friday and Saturday nights and it made the entire weekend feel like a huge family vacation! It was great to see friends and family everywhere, many enjoying their first visit to Ragged Point Inn and the California coast.
* In addition to being "Wedding Central", the Cliff House provided a great place to host the "after party" on Saturday and the brunch on Sunday morning.
* Because Central Coast California weather can be unpredictable in December, we rented a large tent to accommodate the Friday night BBQ, as well as cocktails and appetizers following the ceremony at The Pagoda, weather permitting. Best decision ever! We knew where each event would be held and it allowed us to stage each venue ahead of time.
Having the wedding at The Ragged Point Inn & Resort was a GREAT decision. We can't imagine a better or more memorable wedding experience. Thank you! -

Highly recommend this coastal venue
I would highly recommend having your wedding at Ragged Point Inn in November, 2019. Sandra and the team were so helpful and made us feel at ease on our wedding day. I remember Sandra telling me and my dads to take a moment to let it all sink in before we walked down the aisle- such a sweetheart.
They have great prices that include the basis of all you need and work well with external vendors, should you opt to build upon the offerings at RPI. Here, you get that Big Sur feel with easy access from the south, breathtaking views and a built in place for all of your family and friends to stay. Book the Cliff House for your wedding party! This doubles as a home base and party spot ahead of/after the wedding. Most of our guests arrived at the hotel Friday (wedding was on Saturday), so we were able to spend quality time with loved ones the whole weekend.
We love this place and can't wait to visit our wedding venue in the years to come!
Thanks, Sandra and the RPI team for such an amazing experience! -

We had a beautiful day at Ragged Point Inn. Thanks to RPI and Sandra for being so flexible and moving things around as necessary due to COVID restrictions. We were originally planning for a 100+ person wedding, but they were very accommodating when regulations changed and we needed to go smaller. We ended up having the best day ever, with their delicious foods and spirits served for the rehearsal dinner and reception for our immediate families. Although plans had to change, they were adaptable and tried their best to make it as special and as close to how we envisioned it as possible. Thank you for a beautiful day! -

Emma Sent on 07/02/2019Very special place
First, this venue is stunning, which is why we chose it. For the expensive Big Sur area, Ragged Point gives you great value for your money. I also liked the ease of having catering handled in-house as well as all the set-up and tear-down of tables, chairs, etc. Everything went very smoothly despite a last-minute change to holding the ceremony indoors because of a freak rainstorm! Communication was occasionally a little spotty during the planning process, but it was always possible to work out any confusion fairly easily. We had one small mix-up regarding our menu but were able to work with the venue to come to compromise that worked for everyone. I appreciate all the work Sandra and her staff did for us and they made us feel special on the big day! -

Aisling Sent on 09/07/2019Dream day in Big Sur
Our August wedding at Ragged Point could not have been more perfect. The venue is etherial and moody in ways only Big Sur can be. Between the view from the cliffs, the fog through the trees, and the mountains behind, Ragged Point is truly a stunning location.
Sandra and her team were integral to it being a seemingly flawless day. Their hard work behind the scenes ensured that everything flowed and was easy. Sandra's kindness and patience with us as well as her willingness to work with us for special requests was much appreciated.
One of the biggest draws for us (other than the view) was the fact that we could have all of our family stay at the venue. It made for the perfect weekend. -

It was an absolute dream to get married at Ragged Point Inn! Sandra & the events team did an amazing job making sure my husband and I had our dream day.

Diana Sent on 07/01/2025Wedding of my dreams! A good planner is a must
I have to give credit where it is due—choosing Ragged Point as our venue helped make our wedding such a perfect day. It's truly a magical place, rain or shine. Other Big Sur venues like Ventana or Post Ranch are less communal, much more expensive and we felt RP provided unmatched views. I described it to our guests as a fun summer camp with lots to explore. Our guests booked the entire venue including the Cliff House where we had the Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome party. They enjoyed quality food at the restaurant + café during their stay. Selecting RP also ensured that no one drove home after drinking on those windy roads. When it got chilly at night our guests were able to run to their rooms for more layers which was super convenient. The event was laid back but elevated with the meticulous landscaping, flowers and of course — that million dollar view.
That being said—there are things that could have made our experience easier. Looking back, I would still pick RP, but I would have done more research to know just how much our budget would balloon.
RP offers standard rentals ie. white lawn chairs, utensils, white napkins and such. This might be limited depending on what you want your wedding experience to be and we ended up spending a lot more on rentals because we wanted more options. Wine barrel table tops for cocktail hour were advertised in the pamphlet but weren’t available. We read on Wedding Wire that heaters were available for another party but we had to rent those. There were only six round tables available and we ended up renting linens to cover up the farm tables as they were pretty scratched up. RP does not supply a dance floor, stage, lighting, AV/mics + mic stands and speakers where other venues might include these items in their packages. You are also responsible for setup of any items that are not RP property. You won’t need much by way of florals as the venue itself is sprawling with beautiful Pride of Madeira. (We DIY’ed our florals and were able to easily store our decor items and florals in the Solarium the Friday before).
Sandra is the coordinator on site but the actual coordination is essentially done by you and your planner. You CANNOT have a wedding here without a proper planner/coordinator. Sandra’s role is to let you know what can and cannot be accommodated and she stays behind the scenes on the day of to make sure everything goes smoothly. She is so lovely but it was difficult to get a hold of her at times. The first planner we tried to hire could not reach Sandra and we needed her approval (it worked out in the end as we loved our planner, Renee Weber). Leading up to the wedding Sandra became much more responsive, however, items that could have been addressed much sooner like room pricing and certain deadlines that were not explicitly discussed would have been appreciated. Our actual contract was not sent or signed until long after we booked. We were told last minute that we had 12 empty deluxe rooms that we would have to be responsible for at upwards of $599/night. Sandra was very flexible to work with us and we eventually got our guests to book the entire place but many were dissuaded to stay on site initially. Having a good planner to ask the right questions, keep you on track and keep a good line of communication with Sandra would have helped tremendously.
Moreover, at that price point we would have hoped for more professional decorum from front desk staff. A few of the employees can come off abrupt or rushed and say unnecessary comments. The manager Nancy was quick to address our concern. We just wanted our guests to have the best experience and were grateful Nancy and Sandra made that possible. Our guests loved it! Several were able to bring their pups in dog friendly rooms and though Highway 1 was closed there was no shortage of things to do.
Ultimately, you will be glad you booked here but have a PLAN B and PLAN C--we almost got rained out and the rain stopped just in time for the ceremony. A team of extraordinary people joined forces with our family and friends to arrange everything last minute and thankfully the rain stayed away. It was a testament to the magic that is all over the place there:)
Best of luck! -

Bridget Sent on 04/03/2019Highly recommended, but know this....
We had a small September wedding with 55 people; no wedding party, our best friend officiated, and it was like a wonderful retreat for everyone! My guests are still talking about how relaxing it was, how much they enjoyed not having much cell service, and being in the moment. They are all still talking about the food too! We went with a cheese display and coconut shrimp to start, and had the BBQ with the chef grilling and serving everyone. It truly was excellent food, and I would call myself and many of my guests foodies! The others stand-outs about this venue was the ability to store stuff in the garage leading up to the big day if needed, they provided us a ladder and were flexible with decorations, they were incredibly helpful with planning details I had overlooked and made suggestions as to crowd pleasers from past weddings. The staff were very helpful in locating items we had misplaced and to locate items that got left behind. Overall, the grounds and the views are breathtaking and having both our ceremony and reception there made it possible to take advantage of all the different and beautiful features of the property. My biggest disappointment was the lack of communication on the day of the wedding. Sandra and her staff had been excellent leading up to the big day, but I didn’t see or hear from anyone until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. I would have appreciated a few check-in’s and friendly reminders about time in the bridal suite. I had read a review with someone expressing that if you want a day of coordinator, you should hire one....I now know what they meant. I feel like that may be excessive, but if Sandra or a member of her team had communicated with me or my “team” of friends/family it would have made the day SO much less stressful for me. I was disappointed that we didn’t rent out the entire hotel so we had to end the reception at 8pm; for that reason we started earlier, but then we were on the dance floor well before sunset and I would have preferred to start later overall; but I wanted to take full advantage of the 8 hour service window. I don’t believe the other guests in the hotel would have minded if they could hear us until 10pm....we partied much later than that at the Cliff House anyway! We also did both the signature cocktails and beer/wine. When I had originally inquired about cocktails, it was my understanding that there was a bartender there who would make the drinks and that’s why I was paying so much for the additional cocktails. I was told the drinks were served in mason jars but in fact they were made in dispensers for self-serve cocktails; therefore the simple recipes provided for individual drinks were then made wrong in large batches and the drinks were extremely strong without the guest’s knowledge. The cocktails were gone immediately and the bride, groom, and anyone taking photos missed out completely. Regarding the hotel rooms, guests loved their rooms and the Cliff House was perfect for the after party! The night before my wedding, because we didn’t rent out the entire Cliff House, they rented the rooms to strangers. The hotel didn’t do that on the day of my wedding but I was really upset I wasn’t at least told there would be strangers in the house the night before. Overall, I would recommend Ragged Point for a wedding venue to anyone, but I would want them to know all of this beforehand! Best day of my life with minor bumps, but it was all worth it!

Daisy Sent on 10/07/2017I didn't have a wedding planner so most of what got done was because I had a wonderful team of family and friends that really helped out. The venue in its self is amazing! Everything turned out perfect. The food was perfect!! We had the BBQ package and there was not one person that didn't love it! Sandra Ragged Points wedding coordinator was sweet and helpful with any questions we had. She will not be your wedding coordinator she is more of the contact and host for your wedding which she is very good at. I suggest you get a wedding coordinator because if not it will be crazy trust me. It was very hard to get a hold of Sandra and her team this year due to the bad reception and crazy storms this past winter but other than that they where very healpful. The weekend of the wedding was great. We drove up from San Diego with all our decore and Ragged Point Inn team welcomed us with lots of support and help. They where super flexible with us and I could not be more thankful for that. We also rented out the Ragged Point inn House which was amazing. The house is very specious and has the most amazing views!! Over all everything turned out great but like I said make sure to get a wedding planner if you don't want to put in lots of sleepless nights because the venue does not come with one.

Toured the venue back in January 2026 and fell in love with it. By the time we were ready to book, Ragged Point replaced their events coordinator who was impossible to get in contact with. We started with email, eventually calling the front desk, then escalated to management, who even stopped responding to us. We ended up getting ahold of the events assistant, who was helpful initially but also became unresponsive. Jessica, the new coordinator, did finally email us after *two months* from our initial inquiry, but communication has been patchy at best. I understand going through a staffing change, but the fact that Ragged Point thinks radio silence is acceptable for clients is highly concerning. Even a general acknowledgement would go a long way.
In any case, we loved the venue so much that we were willing to tough it out, but it made what should have been an exciting time very stressful. Once we did hear back from Jessica, we were informed their pricing had changed. It was a bit frustrating that they would not honor their original estimate. In addition, Saturday weddings now require a full property buy-out for two nights-- that means your guests will be spending $700 to stay there for the weekend. And yes, you must book all ~100 rooms at the property.
Between the lack of communication and pricing changes, we lost faith in Ragged Point, as much as we love it. I don't think I could trust them to manage a wedding as they are unable to keep up with basic inquiries. We ended up booking another venue.
