Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings

I just had the most AMAZING wedding on 10/10/24 at Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings. This was honestly our dream venue. All of the renovations they have done made this venue so dreamy and you really can't beat the views! Our wedding coordinator was Annie, with whom we had the initial tour and 2/3 of our planning meetings. She was INCREDIBLE! We had so many friends and family raving about how amazing Annie was between the rehearsal and the wedding. She is so knowledgeable and kept everyone organized and the wedding moved along schedule. She has such a chill energy that helped calm my nerves the day of the wedding. I'm genuinely sad I'm only having one wedding because I would 100% work with her again and I'm sad we won't see her anymore! I've had multiple guests tell us how amazing the food was, the DJ (their preferred vendor), and the overall experience of the wedding. I have ZERO regrets about picking Carmel Fields for our wedding venue. I only wish I could do it all over again because it was that much fun!

I wish I could give Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings more then 5 stars. Our whole experience with them was amazing from our first initial visit to the property, to booking with them, to all of our planning meetings to our big day itself. Everything was flawless and the whole team was easy, professional and accommodating to work with. During the planning, we had some very unique questions and the team always responded back with an answer in a very reasonable amount of time. When our big day came, we were both naturally tired and overwhelmed, but our coordinator Meaghan and the rest of the team made sure we were well taken care of by making sure we had food, drinks, that our outfits and flowers were okay, etc. I am so happy with the service and professionalism that this wedding venue provided and I couldn't have imagined working with another property other than Carmel Fields. Thank you!!

I don't even know where to start, I have nothing but good things to say! Then team here is amazing and on top of that their venue site is beautiful! I got all the credit on how organized, beautiful and smoothly things went but in reality I could not do this without the Carmel Fields team--Anahi, Jay, Annie and the rest of the staff. Our wedding was beautiful and so much fun. Our guest could not stop complimenting on how gorgeous everything was. I also got compliments on how delicious the food was. The team here are superstars and deserve all the kudos they get. They are super friendly, organized, and we're super happy we chose this site and this team to hold our wedding. Also their vendor partners are just as amazing as they are!

Our coordinator Anahi was phenomenal. We dropped a half baked seating chart idea in her lap the day before our wedding where we basically just had pages printed out with everyone's tables on some nice paper, and she managed to turn it into a full fledged art display within a couple of hours. She was incredibly attentive and has the friendliest demeanor you could ever find. Jaylon was our banquet captain and he did a great job of making sure everyone was fed. The panko chicken and Prime Rib was great! Aloha, Annie, Alycia & Mailani on the planning team made sure that every detail was covered and were very responsive as we bothered them constantly with our questions. My best man dropped my ring and one of my groomsmen wore the wrong color shirt, but otherwise we had the perfect wedding and my wife was so happy nothing could trigger her inner Bridezilla. So I can say I thankfully survived unscathed! I definitely recommend the Elite package. All the bells and whistles really added to the experience. The Merienda ballroom has some incredibly beautiful views!

We were so lucky to have found Wedgewood Carmel Fields for our wedding day! Not only was the venue absolutely gorgeous, but we received stellar help with organization, planning and day-of coordination from the staff. Thank you to Alycia for keeping us on track and comforted that our night was going well! The venue itself was gorgeous, and had both nice indoor and outdoor areas for people to mingle in. Wedgewood was very helpful in coordinating our DJ, flowers and catering as well! Our guests loved it as well and 10/10 would recommend this venue for a wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding here at Carmel Fields and it was the most amazing experience! The Wedgewood team were incredibly welcoming and helpful with the whole planning process. The fact that you can customize your wedding package was a huge plus because most vendors have lots of restrictions or limitations but not with Wedgewood! We were so pleased with their professionalism and commitment to helping make our big day one to remember. The wedding day itself went so smoothly, even when falling behind schedule a little we were able to get back on track and make every moment count. I highly recommend Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding vendor. They have so many beautiful venues to choose from in all kinds of locations! Thank you so much again Wedgewood team!

Our wedding day was absolute perfection due to Wedgewood Carmel and their amazing planning and coordinating staff. I hated the thought of planning the most important party in your life that you only get to do once but they made it so easy and we are sooo happy with how the process and wedding day went. If you're looking for a beautiful venue in lovely town this is your spot! Don't pass it up you'll regret it!

My wife and I just got married at Carmel Fields Wedgewood on 7/19. We had our first meeting with Wedgewood and Annie about a year prior when we toured the property. After seeing the beautiful property, amazing amenities, all of the options for catering to our needs and wants for our day and the just amazing personality of Annie and everyone in the office, we decided that Carmel Fields Wedgewood was the place we wanted our day to take place. Throughout the entire process of planning and leading up to our wedding day, the Wedgewood staff was so responsive, helpful, a pleasure to work with, pushed us to make decisions when needed, and made the entire experience as stress-free as planning for a wedding can be. Come the day of our wedding, holy shit, was is everything we were promised to the T!!! During our last wedding review, Wedgewood had offered to get a piece of each kind of cake and set it aside so we could take them home and try all of them. Me being a picky cake person, didn't care to try all three and instead wanted 3 pieces of the strawberry cake with strawberry mousse (BOMB btw!). Sure enough Annie and Aloha made sure that happened. Might sound like a little thing but it is just a perfect example of the services that Annie, Aloha, and the ENTIRE team at Wedgewood Carmel provided to ensure our day was exactly what we wanted and what they promised it would be. Overall, my message to people considering getting married here is, our favorite day ever would not have been what it was - if it wasn't for all of the beautiful people at Carmel Fields Wedgewood. We cannot thank them enough for the role that they played in making our day as amazing as it was!

Carmel Fields has been one of our favorite venues to shoot at for years! We always look forward to doing video and photo there. The venue is stunning and the staff is super friendly. Can't wait for the next wedding there! - The Uncommon Weddings (Video + Photo)

After touring several venues in Carmel by the Sea I chose Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings! Annie was my first introduction and her humor and enthusiasm won me over. They had all I was looking for, a ceremony on the beach, which reception up towards the hills. The drive time from the beach to the venue was only 5 minutes! We planned our wedding from Texas and they made it so easy. We received a binder with details we needed to decide, and dates and times of all our meetings. We worked with all their preferred vendors and were so happy with them. Mailani Lopez was our wedding coordinator and she did an incredible job. She remained calm and professional, friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Truly a joy to work with and I trusted her completely with carrying out our big day. Planning a wedding from another state, it was all just words on paper and they made my vision come to life, it was magical! I would highly recommend them for a wedding.

My husband and I got married at Carmel Fields by Wedgwood Weddings two weeks ago and we can’t stop reminiscing about what a wonderful and special day it was for us, and much of it is because of the amazing venue and incredible staff at Carmel Fields. From walking onsite and getting our first tour of the venue ten months before our wedding, to months of coordinating the details and working with the vendors to assure everything is to our liking, to answering our incessant questions over the phone and accommodating our many specific personal requests, to finally realizing everything on the day and making our dream wedding come true, the Carmel Fields staff, every step of the way, made us feel relaxed, taken care of, and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. We didn’t even need a wedding planner as the venue comes with vendors that are included in the package (food, DJ, florals, cake, officiant, event coordinator) and helped us coordinate our vision with these vendors. Our event coordinator, Alycia, was terrific and very helpful with the last minute details and changes leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy our day. I highly recommend Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings if you are looking for a wedding venue in an exquisite setting with an excellent team that helps your plan every detail of your day. And I forgot to mention how amazing the food was- our guests still can’t stop raving about it! Please check out this venue!

The team at Carmel Fields was amazing going above and beyond what we expected. My partner and I felt comfortable and in control of the entire process. The team was extremely organized and helped answer any possible questions we had along the way. The beach ceremony was stunning, combined with the preferred floral vendor, delivering a spring-themed, colorful wedding. The venue was equally as gorgeous and the Carmel Fields team did an incredible job decorating, going above and beyond what we even asked for/anticipated. We received so many comments from our guests on the setting, decor, venue, and food. Some said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and we would agree. Thanks, WW Carmel Fields team for an incredible wedding day!

Carmel Fields was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our wedding! They make the entire planning process so simple with their preferred vendors, and they are the venue, caterer, and coordinators. I cannot imagine doing a wedding any other way. They take all of the stress away from the planning. Our day of was so smooth - all the staff and DJ worked together like a well oiled machine, and we were able to just relax and enjoy our whole wedding! 10/10 we recommended Wedgewood to all our friends!

Wedgewood made our dream wedding come true with only a few months timeframe. Everything was perfect! The staff was professional and very helpful. My coordinator Anahi was awesome. All guests raved about the food and our wedding. They were top notch!!

The team at Wedgewood is wonderful! Even though we spoke with multiple team members/coordinators throughout the process, they always had our up-to-date info. Our main coordinators were Anahi, Chloe, and Priscilla, and they made planning and prep so easy! They set up multiple meetings with you to ensure nothing will be forgotten, and you get a day of coordinator. They just renovated the reception rooms as well, and they are gorgeous! Our guests loved the food too! The banquet captain, Aloha, was wonderful and took over as the late night coordinator, and our bartender, Rafael, kept the drinks flowing all night! I reached out to multiple all-inclusive/mostly inclusive venues in the Monterey/Carmel area, and they were definitely the most affordable if you want coordinators and food/bev included. Highly recommend!

My experience with Carmel Fields, Wedgewood Weddings was absolutely amazing. I can't say enough positive things about their company and wedding services. My main coordinators, Torey and Alycia, were truly incredible in all the categories. Torey helped me through each step of the planning process and created my ideas into a vision while staying within my budget range. Her attention to detail and organization is phenomenal. Alycia was spectacular in coordinating our meals, and guests, and packing everything up at the end of the night. She even saved the wedding boutique that I left behind! Many of my guests commented on how well our wedding went and how much fun they had. I owe it all to these two amazing gals and truly appreciate all the work they did to make my wedding day everything I hoped for and more. I highly recommend Carmel Fields- Wedgewood weddings if you are searching in this area. You can't beat their package deals and amazing service!

We can't speak highly enough about the team at Wedgewood Weddings. My husband and I are both resident physicians, and with our 80 hour work weeks, we weren't sure how we could pull together a destination wedding for our 110 guests on a reasonable budget. The planning team at Wedgewood brought our vision to life! Carmel Fields was the first venue I toured and I knew instantly it would be the ideal fit for us. The planning team is extremely organized, and gives you a wedding planning binder so you know what to expect. There are three major meetings with the team and the scheduling is flexible for either in person or phone call meetings. My husband and I come from different cultures and knew we wanted not one, but TWO, outfit changes at the reception to equally represent both of our backgrounds. On the day of the wedding, Priscilla our planning made the timeline so smooth and gave us the two grand entrances we envisioned. Our DJ Lupe was incredible; he played music from both cultures and kept the dance floor packed. He even stayed a few minutes after the wedding was over to play a few final song requests and get on the dance floor himself! After the wedding, Aloha was so sweet and helped us clean up the decor we brought to the venue so we could get to our after party. Another compliment we got from a lot of our guests was on the food. We chose the prime rib, panko parmesan chicken, and tortellini and there was so much food with the 8 salads! The wedding cake was also delicious. I have to give a huge shout out to their florist, Flor De Monterey! We wanted tropical flowers and she created gorgeous pieces that everyone loved at a reasonable price. Finally, we also used the officiant service. Konrad was an excellent speaker and even inserted some humor which was great. Overall, we are so happy with our experience and would recommend this venue to all our friends and family!

Our overall experience with Wedgewood Carmel was amazing, we were one of the couples that had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic and Wedgewood was so amazing and accommodating throughout that time. When our big day came last weekend they knocked it out of the park, it truly was magical and such a great time with all of our loved ones. We knew we wanted a venue that included the essential vendors, and everyone except the floral company (Flor de Monterey - we do NOT recommend that vendor) did amazing!! Our coordinator Anahi really helped calm the nerves and keep our timing on track. We were able to really enjoy ourselves which is something so many married couples told us was important and not getting caught up in the hustle of it all, we don’t like to use the word perfect but it really felt like it on our Special day. Thank you Wedgewood Carmel for hosting our special day!!! So if you’re looking for an all inclusive and budget friendly venue, we highly recommend Wedgewood Carmel.

We had a great time working with this venue! Everyone was very professional and friendly and patient with our questions and requests. Our day-of-coordinator Olivia was amazing and I would definitely want to be friends with her outside of the wedding. Our critiques are that I felt like communication lacked between team members sometimes because we had to repeat the same request between people and I don't believe information was passed along. We also were sad that some of the items we requested be a part of our reception were not, including my husband's wall lights and the flower petals I purchased for the tables.

I married my husband on October 22, 2021. Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to get married in Monterey. Coming across this venue on The Knot was a life saver since it is an all inclusive venue! This venue offers different packages, where you can add and remove any items you would like! The Wedgewood Team is an amazing group of people. We had such great service and everyone from our wedding planner to our DJ was absolutely amazing! The venue is beautiful and the food is delicious! We also had an open bar, which was pretty price efficient. I would like to give a special shout out to Kate Wessell... you're a ROCKSTAR!!! I would strongly recommend this venue to anyone, they truly made our day perfect!

The Carmel Fields by Wedgewood team was absolutely fantastic. Torey, who was our primary coordinator, helped us at every twist and turn of our planning process and always made us feel valued, important, heard, and special. Both Torey and Olivia assisted with our day-of coordination and they knocked it out of the park. Every detail and instruction was followed and where details lacked, they took our vision and applied it using their best judgement. Everything from phone calls to emails with them was a breeze. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we had to postpone our big day, but Torey and the wider team made sure to do all they could to make the postponement process simple and pain free. Torey, Kate, Olivia & Heather all did a fantastic job as each one of them filled in and assisted over our 2 year long engagement. The food and service on our big day was fantastic as well. From the Chefs attention to detail to the service staff and banquet managers over the top professionalism, the entire dining experience was one to remember. Every team member here deserves recognition. 2020-2021 wedding planning couldn't have been easy, so thank you all for all you have done. Chris and Trinity

My husband and I booked our wedding ceremony and reception through wedgewood and I could not be happier that we did. They made the process SO easy. They remained attentive and encouraging throughout the whole planning process in the midst of Covid and definitely are more than just a beautiful wedding venue. The lovely ladies working are truly amazing. They made our wedding a truly magical night.

Wedgewood wedding packages was the main reason we contacted for a consultation to view the site and it was our first venue we looked at and instantly booked. Also because my husband and I always dreamed of getting married on the beach and their reception site was beautiful as well. Their packages included everything from Floral, DJs, Setup and break down, to the amazing food and you can customize the packages to you . All of their vendors are amazing and took a lot of stress away from us. We were suppose to get married in October 2020 but Due to Covid that do not happen. We dealt mainly with Torey Wise ( which I would 100% recommend her if you chose to go with Wedgewood Carmel) From the beginning of COVID-19 to the end of our wedding I had SO many different emotions and the unknowing of what our wedding holds. ( which wedgewood carmel team also had no idea at the time either but still kept me calm and certain during it all) We had to change our wedding vision completely due to Covid and I could count on Tori to help us make our wedding day amazing. I can say hands down our wedding days ways better than our original vision.. The little things do not matter its truly true and I now I fully believe if you have good vendors that you have by your side throughout the wedding process and on your wedding day that will make your day. The venue was beautiful. The food was absolutely amazing. The drinks/bar tenders were amazing. We had so many compliments from our guest regarding our wedding we give Wedgewood Carmel and their vendors a huge thank you! Torey Wise knows what she is doing and provided me any recommendations and suggestions I needed. I would 100% recommend Wedgewood Carmel to anyone who wants a wedding with a lot of less stress.

Literally everything about our wedding was perfect and it’s because of all the staff at Carmel Wedgewood. We could not have envisioned a more perfect day. Kate, Torey, Heather and Olivia were the most understanding, helpful, kind and sweetest ladies to work with. They made everything I had envisioned come true, answered all of my questions and dealt with my last minute changes. With all the COVID uncertainty they remained patient, helped me figure out how to plan a wedding during these weird times and always answered my emails quickly. Wedding planning can be so stressful but they took the stress out of it and made it so much fun. If I could do it all over again I’d choose this venue again and again. Not only did we love working with them but our guests commented on how nice the staff was also. Thank you so much Kate, Torey, Heather and Olivia and everyone else at Carmel Wedgewood!

I couldn't have asked for a better team to have created the perfect wedding day and experience for me and my husband. Kate and Tori focused on all the details before and after our celebration, and Olivia was a master at making sure the reception ran smoothly. We planned our wedding in just over a month and although it was a small time frame, the staff at Wedgewood exceeded our expectations within the given time. All my guests continue to rave about the venue, the food, the service, and much more till this day. Thank you again to all the staff at Carmel Fields.

My wife and I got married here in March 2018 and it was the perfect venue for us as we wanted the ceremony on a beach with the reception indoors nearby. We worked with Kendalyn and she was amazing, very responsive and patient with all our questions. She was just as enthusiastic as us throughout the whole planning and gave us excellent advice and feedback. I highly recommend Wedgewood Weddings.

Wedgewood was so well-organized that I could relax because I knew I was in good hands. Everything went off without a hitch, even though it ended up raining. The alternate indoor location was beautiful and we were able to sneak out to the garden during breaks in the rain for photos. Best of all I didn't have to a thing to change it. Wedgewood took care of it all for me. I also appreciated how flexible they were with allowing us to customize our package to only include the elements we wanted (my mom made cookies instead of us having a cake and I made my own invitations). I dropped off all the extra decorations I had made the day before and they set up everything. That night they took it all down so I could just go back to my hotel and then we picked it all up the next day. I've been in a lot of weddings, so I was anticipating a lot more last-minute problems. Honestly I was shocked by how easy they made everything and how well it all flowed. I'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

Everything went extremely smoothly and we couldn't have asked for anything better. It was an amazing day and everything looked beautiful. The staff was professional and took care of everything. We had such a good time and our guest are still talking about how great the wedding was.

Everything went pretty smooth for our wedding. I love how everything (mostly) was included in the wedding. We did a beach wedding on monestary beach, it was beautiful. The reception was so much fun. The only thing that bothered me was that the kitchen staff took the buffet away very quickly, people were still eating and they took the food away. Found that to be strange.. but everything else was great!

They had very reasonable packaging with customization available to help us put together our perfect day. They were also extremely helpful and responsive through the planning process. 5 stars!

We were married November 11 on the beach in Carmel. Neither my husband or I live in the Carmel area. We would not have been able to plan such a beautiful, organized wedding and reception without the help of Wedgewood Weddings. Only once did we fly to Carmel for detailing. They helped with every detail, question, and referrals. Thank you Wedgewood for your knowledge of how to plan a wedding, your professionalism, and your personalization of our special day. Especially thank you to Kendalyn and Marisa!

I am very happy thus far with my experience with Wedgewood Weddings. It's why we chose them. I like that I have minimal to do in searching for vendors for all the little stuff like flowers, cake, catering....it's all included in the price you pay for Wedgewood! I'd rather focus on other things. Tell me where to go and who to talk to to pick my flower and cake and done! Super easy. I can't wait to see the final product.

I love this venue! It’s beautiful and affordable! The staff was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day. Highly recommend you check them out!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception last November at Wedgewood Carmel, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. Planning process: Wedgewood has 3 set check-ins with each couple once the contract is signed, but they are readily available via phone or email during the entire process. They made it very easy to customize the package to our needs (for example, we wanted to use our own photographer and it was no problem). They work with external vendors for floral, cake, DJ, etc. and all of the vendors were the best in the area. They handled all of our requests with ease, and were extremely communicative around pricing of our custom requests. The day before the wedding, we held our rehearsal and dropped off all of the decor and small touches for the big day (guestbook, sand ceremony kit, favors, etc.). We even made our own candy bar, and they set everything up exactly as requested. It was great to not have to worry about any of this on our wedding day. Ceremony: Beach Location Everything was set up perfectly and as requested. Additionally, they provide a backup (one of their reception halls) just in case it is raining on your big day. In our case, we cut it close with rain just 3 days before our wedding, so it was great to have the peace of mind of the backup plan. Our actual wedding day turned out beautiful. Our photos from the beach are stunning. Reception: Large reception hall They accommodated our 200+ guests with ease. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the bar never seemed to get too backed up. Wedgewood is really a well oiled machine, and our coordinator was readily available to fix any issues that arose. Overall, I would highly recommend Wedgewood. Not only is the property stunning, but they make the entire process SO easy. It's almost like having a wedding planner, without the cost. They really work with each couple to make sure every detail is perfect, and our wedding day was really just that.

They did absolutely everything for us. The food was amazing. Best DJ I have ever met. No stress for us at all as they had everything under control. I have been to a lot of unorganized weddings and we were very worried about that. But, that never happened! They let us know when things were due and set everything up. I highly suggest everyone thats gettin g married to check out Wedgewood Weddings

Wedgewood Carmel is THE BEST! Seriously, stop wasting your time and looking for other venues. If you want a beach wedding in carmel-look no further. If you want a venue that does most of the planning for you or points you in the right direction- look no further. If you want to work with friendly, easy going people-look no further. This was the fourth wedding in my family (three older siblings) and the easiest to plan and not one thing went wrong. Did you read that right? Not one thing went wrong! The day was perfect! From the very first meeting we knew this place would be our place for this special experience. Kendalyn and Marisa were so helpful throughout the entire process. They answered e-mails within hours of each one I wrote. They were always there to give kind, supportive help. I feel like they really know me as a person. The packages are extremely reasonable. We used Flor for flowers, Jason for DJ, API photography, and I do wedding cakes- everything was PERFECT! I actually had a lot of compliments about the food and the DJ. The food was quite delicious, which I was a little weary about since we didn't get to do a tasting. Did I mention their packages are reasonable? :) API was extremely easy to work with. I never met them until the day of and felt comfortable with them right away and feel confident they got great shots of our wedding. If you want a venue that takes a lot of the guess work out of planning a wedding, choose Wedgewood. You don't have to go find your own vendors and orchestrate communication, it's all done for you. Oh also get married on the beach. It was beautiful! They set it up perfectly and it was a gorgeous location. I also like how Wedgewood doesn't try and up sell you on things. They'll present options, but if you say you're not interested they won't pressure you or anything. Everything is straight forward! Also we had the coordination services so Kendalyn was the last person I saw before walking down the aisle. She saw me as I had my "oh crap moment" and was slowly falling apart. I asked her to distract me by telling me a gross story... I won't share the details, but let's just say she took the request very seriously and was able to improvise like it ain't no thing and get me out of my head before walking down the aisle. It was amazing! Choose Wedgewood Carmel you won't regret it.

We planned our entire wedding from out of state and the staff at Carmel was amazing. From all of the phone calls and emails they never made us feel like we were a burden. Kendalyn and Marisa were truly amazing from start to finish, the day of was nothing short of amazing. The food was amazing and the professionalism they provided was truly unmatched. We used all of their vendors from the florist to the officiant and could not be happier.

The Wedgewood Wedding experience was nothing but amazing. The process was helpful and was as stress-free as possible. Special shoutout to the team that helped organize our #JoannaisMarkED4ever wedding to Marisa and Kendalyn who helped with the organization of the wedding process which helped us become confident that our wedding would run smoothly. Also, thank you to Tory who coordinated the wedding and made sure we were taken care of and everything was running smoothly. Especially helping to bussell Joanna's dress. There was some things that didn't go as planned but the team came thru in the clutch. The banquet captain, Leah who made sure we were also taken care of. Great thanks to Brian who spoke wonderfully about our story and made it sound exciting. The music that Jason played was awesome and everyone enjoyed it. The wonderful staff that made our wedding a success. Thank you Wedgewood Weddings!!!

We recently held our wedding at Wedgewood Carmel for ~140 people in the Fiesta Room. Our day was absolutely PERFECT. It was incredible to see our vision come to life and Wedgewood and our other vendors played a huge role in that. Marisa and Kendalyn were a dream to work with and were super responsive over email, phone and in-person over our 1.5 year+ engagement. As a perfectionist and a planner, it was slightly difficult to trust someone else with so many things, but both ladies made sure everything was exactly how we requested when it came to decorations, day of coordination, and all the details. FLORIST: We used Flor De Monterey. Vena was fantastic and delivered above and beyond on what we were looking for, as well as worked with our budget. We got to take home all the flowers post-wedding and they looked great several days after the event. Highly recommend meeting with Vena in-person at least once as she's super sweet and the communication is stronger via this format. CAKE: We used I Do Wedding Cakes. The cake looked beautiful and exactly how we wanted it. Debbie was sweet and met with us for a tasting a couple months prior to the wedding. FOOD & BEVERAGES: Wedgewood Carmel did not disappoint on the food. We received several compliments from guests re: the buffet variety for both dinner and cocktail hour. We did a hosted beer/wine bar because that was something really important to us. DJ: Jason from DNA Entertainment was great. He played all our requested music, read the crowd whether it was dancing or speeches, and knew how to keep both the bride/groom and family/friends pleased when it came to song selection. BUDGET: This was a huge factor in our decision on a venue. We knew we wanted to get married in Monterey/Carmel Valley, but all the venues were considerably costly and outside our budget. We wanted somewhere that offered a beautiful outdoor component, didn't cause us to sacrifice our vision, and of course, didn't break our bank! REHEARSAL & DAY-OF: We had our rehearsal the day before the wedding and Kendalyn was AMAZING! She took charge, clearly communicating to our bridal party and family exactly what to do and when. We felt like we were in great hands. On the day-of she rocked it, had a big smile on, and was attentive to our needs, our guests' and more, running around making sure everything was in-place and on-track. As for non-Wedgewood Carmel vendors, we used our own photographer, Shelly Anderson from San Diego; Main Event Transportation for our limo bus service (came with liquor!); and Monterey Bay Entertainment Co for our photobooth. Things to keep in mind: - If you're interested in holding your cocktail hour in The Pub, but your reception in the Fiesta Room, make sure to state that early on because technically The Pub is part of the Merienda Room. - Be sure to lock in the desired start time of your wedding from the start, as we were originally told this could be adjusted in the coming months, only to find out it was a headache to move. It took a few back and forths before we finally got it adjusted by 30 mins, though we would have preferred earlier. It all worked out in the end and this was the only real hiccup, but it would have been nice to have a start time of a few hours earlier. OVERALL: DEFINITELY recommend booking this venue if you're interested in having a beautiful and romantic, yet cost-effective wedding in Carmel Valley. Thank you again to the team for coming through!

It is hard to even begin a review for the wonderful team at Wedgewood. We started planning our wedding from across the country and struggled for months trying to find a venue. Our parents found Wedgewood on an ad and drove out to take a peek at the venue for us. Kendalyn and Marisa went out of their way to visit with both sets of parents and showed them every detail about events at Wedgewood. Our parents took photos, videos and facetimed with us as they walked around Monastery Beach and the reception venue. We ended up booking our wedding venue sight-unseen because we felt like we could actually accomplish planning a beautiful wedding from 3000 miles away with Kendalyn and Marisa by our sides! They answered every single email (and trust me, I sent a ton) and kept track of every change, every detail, every question I had. Their response time is unreal with emails- I don’t think I ever waited longer than a day for a reply! They were ALWAYS on time for meetings at the venue and for the phone planning appts that they schedule to keep you on track with planning. We had our rehearsal the night before the wedding and everything about it was quick and easy. We had a pretty unruly wedding party and Kendalyn stepped up to the challenge and had everyone looking perfect in a matter of minutes. I didn’t like the way the pastor was rehearsing one part of the ceremony but figured I would just let it go. Kendalyn took one look at my face, instantly knew it wasn’t what I wanted and fixed it without a second thought. We dropped off our reception decorations and supplies during the rehearsal and it felt like a huge load off our shoulders knowing that the hard work was done. They set up everything exactly as we explained and it looked perfect! They don’t do scheduled tasting events for couples to try their food so it was a little stressful not knowing what the food was going to taste like. They have group events throughout the year with tastings but we weren’t in town during those times. However, if we ended up trying every item they had to offer, we never would have been able to make decisions because the food is THAT amazing. Wedding food is always known for being “just okay” but that was not the case with the food on our wedding day. We selected 6 appetizers and every single one was delicious. We continued to receive compliments on the food for weeks after the wedding. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Every detail was executed with care that you can only get from a team that truly cares about their brides and grooms. My dad got sick and had surgery right before the wedding (and subsequently got put on activity and lifting restriction) and they stepped up and helped take care of the details that he had been in charge of setting up. We took our first walk back down the aisle as husband and wife and Kendalyn was there waiting with tears in her eyes. My husband and I both commented instantly that even though she has been there through so many weddings, she still gets invested in couple’s love stories. Marisa wasn’t our day of coordinator, but she made sure to take the time to come give us hugs and help bustle my dress while we were waiting to head into the reception! We are grateful to the whole Wedgewood team for everything they did leading up to our wedding. It will forever be a beautiful memory for all of our family and friends. If we had to go back in time to re-do our wedding, we wouldn’t change a thing. It was THAT wonderful :)

Wedgewood really knows their stuff! My wife and I (I love saying that!) had a long engagement, but we were quick to look at venues around the area to get prepared with what was available, but also what was reasonably priced. Needless to say, Wedgewood Carmel fit perfectly into what we needed. With a variety of packages available and the flexibility to include/not include services- we were so happy! The venue, which is a park reserve (previously a golf course,) is right next to Highway 1, but tucked away enough where you get the quiet you need for the ceremony. We decided to go with the ceremony onsite, which had a gazebo and beautiful aged trees. A gazebo wasn’t my first pick on where I wanted to have my ceremony, but Wedgewood and the florist, Vena from Flor de Monterey, did an amazing job of transforming the space. Kendalyn, Leah, and Marisa were so great at answering any questions we had along the way. There were also wedding fairs, so we got a feel for the venders and what the reception halls could transform into. The rehearsal was perfect, and they were so quick to say “of course” when I asked if my dad could drive me down to the aisle in his 1957 Bel Air. The day of, Marisa guided us step by step on what we needed to do when. She made sure we didn’t see each other and was a wonderful coordinator. We couldn’t have asked for more. The flowers were AMAZING. Way more than we expected. Nothing more to say about that- worth every penny! We upgraded our linens and chairs through Chic and since they work with Wedgewood all the time, there was no hiccups at all. Everything was added to our Wedgewood bill and we didn’t need to think about it. The linens, chairs, chargers, and décor were flawless. Shutterbooth of Monterey Bay was great! They provided us with a photobooth during the entire reception and they listened to our request of what props we wanted and let us add in a few of our own. The woman running the booth all night (we think her name was Sarah) was super nice and judging from our guests shots, everyone seemed to really enjoy it! Jason, our DJ, listened to all of our input thoroughly and the communication between us couldn’t have been easier. My wife and I chose almost all of our music for the entire reception and Jason made it all flow and transition so well throughout the night. Our guests were partying until the last song! Food was superb and we’re not just talking about our meal, but the service staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and taken care of during the reception, especially the woman who was the head of the service staff- we wish we could remember her name- she was blonde and super polite and courteous. Although we didn’t attend cocktail hour, we heard many rave reviews about the passed appetizers and drinks. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and everything very much. Last, but not least, our wedding cake was delicious! I Do Wedding Cakes in Morgan Hill created the perfect cake for us- exactly what we asked for. And again, they work with Wedgewood often so it was very easy to meet with them and there were no problems at all. Overall, if we could do it all over again (and you know we wish we could!), we wouldn’t hesitate to pick Wedgewood Carmel over and over again! If we ever have a large event or anniversary party, they’ll definitely be the first to know! Thank you again ladies of Wedgewood Carmel, you really helped make our wedding one of the best days of our lives!! :)

We had a tour for Wedgewood Weddings | Carmel and honestly, the websites look a lot better than what it did in actual person. It venue was clean and the people were great there but I would expect a little more in the actual surrounding. But you get what you pay for. I am glad I had a tour to finalize my decision to have my wedding at another venue.

My best friend got married here last month and it was nothing more than a dream! Kendalyn and her team were a huge help throughout the process. The ceremony and reception space were well cleaned, organized, and all around beautiful. Thanks so much Wedgewood!

We visited quite a few places in the area and ultimately decided on Wedgewood. Kendalyn and Marisa were awesome from beginning to end. We were planning the wedding ourselves and they helped the process go very smooth. We had our wedding on the beach and the reception at wedgewood. The beach ceremony is very close and easily accessible. There’s multiple options for the beach ceremony and even more for the reception. The girls were there for us every step of the way. They also put up with our endless questions and would return a call or email usually within two hours. The reception itself was great and they work with photographers and DJ’s to get a custom package. I can’t leave out their food service either. The food was amazingly good. All of our guests complimented the food as well. Wedgewood is a great value for what you spend. We were able to stay within our budget and still have a super fun event!

We had the BEST time at our wedding!! We had our ceremony at Carmel Mission Basilica because we wanted to wed in a church and then had our reception at the Wedgewood at Rancho Canada on 04/13/2018. Kendalyn and Marisa were so amazing. They would respond quickly to every phone call and email. On the day of, my husband and I were inviting the staff to stay with us because they were so nice and helpful. Our photographer was so great. Wedgewood made planning my wedding so easy. I didn't stress at all about the actual wedding. They handled everything. The DJ that was referred to us by Wedgewood was so great. NOBODY was sitting at that wedding. EVERYONE was up and dancing. We had conga lines and everything!! We saved so much money by going with wedgewood. The florist was really easy to work with as well. She understood my vision and made it happen. I would refer anyone and everyone to the Carmel Wedgewood. It was SOOOOO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful venue! We had a beach ceremony and were blessed with some anazing weather! Their planning services were great and extremely helpful the cherry on top was the delicious food!

Our wedding was spectacular! That's what we think and what all our guest tell us. Everything was very organized, well planned. It was a beautiful, sunny day perfect for the beach ceremony. The tables' arrangements, flowers, cake, food, etc. were stunning. The food delicious and the service was excellent. The DJ (Jason) was wonderful. Our coordinator (Marisa) was outstanding. We can't stop talking about our wedding! We are very grateful to Wedgewood Carmel staff for all their support and help to make our special day not just special but unforgettable.
