Camp Carmel Valley

d the camp director, David, was such a joy to work with in preparing for our big day -- he's incredibly accommodating, attentive, flexible, and kind -- as is, all of the camp staff who assisted with the check-in process. For us, the communal aspect of our wedding weekend was a top priority, as was being in nature, so being able to host our wedding at a glampground where all our friends and family could stay on site and hang out with us/each other meant the world to us. it was even more special than we had hoped it would be! truly every one of our guests has told us this was the best wedding they'd ever been to and we know everyone being able to stay on the campgrounds was such a huge part of that. it felt like our own mini summer camp and everyone had the BEST time. if you're considering this venue i definitely encourage you to visit or stay for a weekend!!! the pictures don't do it justice. it's such a special place and by far the best decision we made in planning our wedding xo

and I can confidently say that choosing Camp as our wedding venue was the best choice we could have made for so many reasons! From the very beginning my husband and I knew we wanted our wedding to be more than just a one day event and I wanted it to be like no other wedding that any of our guests had ever been to. My goal was for all of my guests to feel taken care of the entire weekend with fun activities and lots of love, so when we found Camp it felt like the perfect option for us! Obviously Camp Carmel Valley is absolutely STUNNING, with gorgeous oak trees and Spanish moss, how could you not fall in love with the scenery?! It is such a unique venue with the most quaint cabins, and great facilities throughout the entire venue. Although the beauty of Camp is hard to compete with, the main reason our wedding was so incredible is because of their camp manager David!!! I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible David was throughout our entire wedding weekend. From the moment we arrived at the camp, it was clear that we were in great hands, but we could never have predicted just how much David and the rest of the CCV team would go above and beyond. When unexpected issues arose, David swooped in like a true superhero- literally saving the day. He handled everything with such grace, professionalism, and total calmness that it honestly felt like nothing was too big of a challenge. Seriously, my wedding weekend would not have been successful without David, and I am eternally grateful for everything he did. I had the most amazing time because of him. I went into that weekend worried that I would be playing the role of both the wedding planner and the bride, but David ensured that everything was handled to perfection, so I could just enjoy! Every guest felt taken care of, and we had the time of our lives, all thanks to David’s expertise and dedication. It truly felt like David and his team were 100% committed to making our day perfect, and we felt so supported throughout the entire planning process. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is not only absolutely stunning but has the BEST camp manager who will be your rock, your calm in the storm, and your secret weapon to making everything run smoothly, look no further. David is an absolute superstar. Our wedding weekend would not have been the same without him. We are forever grateful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! PC: Ryan Chard Smith

to have our wedding weekend there. 85 guests stayed on site. Our immediate families each got a house of their own, we had our own "honeymoon" house and our friends all were able to stay in updated cabins with beautiful updated bathrooms nearby. For the guests who weren't up to staying in cabins there were local hotels a 5 minute drive/shuttle away. It was such a special thing to be surrounded by our friends and family all weekend long. David, the camp coordinator was incredible: Patient, hardworking, flexible, and kind. We were there three nights and 4 days and David was there throughout. He helped us by planning archery, yoga and tye dye sessions during the camp weekend. Months leading up to the wedding he was always so responsive and attentive. Our long weekend wedding would have been impossible without him. The camp grounds are beautiful, the trees and rolling hills made for the best backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The weather is predictable and perfect. I could go on and on but Camp Carmel Valley is an incredibly special and unique place. We can't wait to host another event there.
