The Club at Pasadera

rfect menu. Everything we wanted, they made it happen - from our champagne welcome, to our late night snacks on the dance floor, and they even remembered to send us home with dinner after the big event was over. The Lodge, which is available the weekend of the wedding, is a perfect space for any bridal party. We loved hearing our guests rave about how amazing the wedding was and the Club at Pasadera was the center of it all!

red the menu to our liking and guests raved about how delicious the food was. High quality venue, food and alcohol, it was the perfect setting for our big day.

ially worked tirelessly to ensure we were happy and that every detail was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and when everything was set up on the day of I was completely blown away. We had our ceremony on the back lawn in front of the tree, cocktail hour in the small courtyard/indoor bar, and reception in the main large courtyard. It was everything I had envisioned and more. And on top of all that, the food was spectacular and the partying was even better. Our guests are still commenting on how it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

and that she would be canceling on other brides as well. I can’t imagine a place that books weddings and then randomly reneges because the Owner after the fact decides to use the club. Debbie did not even have the professionalism to call me personally to give me the news. She sent an email and then refused to call me back. See below! The unprofessionalism of Debbie and the entire Pasadera owners was truly unprecedented. I worked for Tehama for many years and planned weddings for 4 before I went back to law school. I have never experienced a vendor treating a Bride who is about to drop thousands of dollars on a wedding at their venue this way. I would not wish it on anyone. When I emailed Debbie that I had already put a deposit down on a DJ and Florist and that I was going to be out money she responded that it was my problem. Never ONCE did she even say I’m so sorry. Furthermore, be sure to read the contract Pasadera has you sign. There are NUMEROUS errors and its completely one-sided. If they do no perform there is NOTHING in the contract that protects you and your money. Debbie sent me the contract with wrong dates, wrong time frames, and an Indemnity clause that protects only them. The contract reads as if it was written by a kindergartener. Also, their $9,000 venue fee is extremely HIGH and its limited to 5 hours only. Tehama is $7,000, Monterey Peninsula Country Club is $4,000, and Quail Lodge is $4,000 just to name a few. Not to mention their drink packages that run at $78/per person not including tax and tip. Oh, and don’t forget the required food minimum they make you set when you sign the contract a year in advance. When I asked if I ended up having less people would I still be held to that food minimum the answer was yes and that I would just need to purchase more expensive food. Be sure to ask questions as the contract is a trap. I should have known as when I did the walk-through on September 30, 2017 Debbie was bashing the bride’s taste. She rudely pointed out the bride’s terrible selection in napkins, linens, and choice to cover furniture and the shields. All I kept thinking was what’s it to you what the Bride wants, its her day and why are you talking bad about a customer. Completely tacky and unprofessional. STAY FAR AWAY FROM PASADERA FOR YOUR BIG DAY.

was super smooth and our wedding day a dream!

it, and we instantly were comfortable with her and impressed by the venue. By the end of our tour, we were sold. Danielle, our banquet coordinator, was so professional and helpful in navigating the multiple allergies we had to work around. Paige, our day of coordinator, was the best in the world. Every single detail was executed to the "t" - there were no distractions, no problems, and if there were then they were handled in a way that didn't make them our problem on our wedding day. We are so grateful for the team that gave us such a perfect day, the wait staff that kept dinner flowing, the chef for the amazing food, even the gate guard who ensured our day started with a smile and congratulations! There is not a single employee who didn't have an impact on the day we had, and we wouldn't trade it for the world. If the appearance of this venue itself doesn't win you over, know the staff there will make your day perfect.

, and the venue was absolutely beautiful. The venue also did a great job of perfectly setting out our personal decorations. The lodge is also a must! It was a perfect location to spend extra time with your friends and family!

iful fireplace. The area is big enough that we had a Mariachi band playing during the cocktail hour; our guests were mingling in the indoor and outdoor seating areas. The day of the wedding we didn’t worry for ANYTHING! We left all the details up to Lindsey and Primo and they handled everything for us. If we have the opportunity to host another event I will absolutely do it at Nicklaus Club with Renee, Lindsey and Primo they are the best!!!

cocktail hour was so fun! And the reception was such a success. The food was to die for and every meal was cooked to perfection. The entire night our guests kept raving about the food. The appetizers were such a hit (especially the shrimp/polenta and the crab cakes!) The filet of beef was so tender and juicy! The wine (especially the white) was one of the bests I've ever had. The Nicklaus Club will be highly raved about! We couldn't have dreamed of a more magical venue and a more dreamy wedding!

ed almost no flowers or decorations throughout the venue, the setting alone is amazing. I love all the different "areas" of this venue! Our dance floor was outside under string lights and the entire evening was just magical :) Everyone had such an amazing time and our wedding was everything we could ask for and more!! More importantly, I cannot say enough great things about Lindsey, Renee and the whole staff at The Nicklaus Club! Lindsey is AMAZING and always put me at ease with all of my questions! My wedding day went so smooth thanks to the incredible staff! If I had to do it all over again, I would pick The Nicklaus Club every time :)

o make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of. I also emailed Lindsey on a weekly, and then as the wedding got closer, on a daily basis making changes--and she never was rude or complained. She was helpful in every step of the way, and my family and I really appreciated her patience. The food was great, the bar was great, the views from the venue can't be beat. Loved our wedding at Nicklaus Club!

ds. Lindsey definitely helped lift the weight of our shoulders as we got closer to the day and also the day of; we never had a worry after speaking with her. I highly recommend this venue; the food was great, the service was outstanding, the location is breathtaking. Nicklaus Club truly made our wedding day something special and one to remember.

country club. It has a very Spanish/Italian feel. We went to our first appointment with Lindsey and were blown away with how beautiful and classy it was, but at the same time very relaxed. We cancelled our other 2 appointments that day and booked shortly after. We booked our ceremony and reception. We held our ceremony in the courtyard and needed almost no flowers or decorations, the setting alone is amazing. We then moved into the lounge area for cocktail hour. There is indoor and outdoor seating - great for mingling. We then held our dinner and dancing in the main dining area. We ended up adding a band (The Money Band!!! Highly recommend) which limited our space in the room, but luckily they have an outdoor area with large windows that can be opened up to feel like they are part of the main room. They also have heaters and panels for rent to make it more comfortable. My favorite part of this location was that there were so many different areas for people to mingle and hang out. If guests wanted to dance they were in the main dining room with the band, if they wanted to be outside there were chairs on the lawn and kids running around, if they wanted a drink there was the bar/lounge, if they wanted to relax there was a couch area. We also had a photo booth which had its own area as well. We worked with Lindsey for our all of our details and she was great!! She always had a great, relaxed but professional attitude. Whatever we needed, she handled. I work in the hospitality business and to me, she went above and beyond what I was expecting, especially on the day of. Our Banquet manager on the day of was Primo and he was also amazing, as was his staff. I love love loved this location and will recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect location in Monterey that has everything!!

ar area, a cozy outdoor fireplace, and plenty of other outdoor spaces. It is such a nice place that you don't have to put up very many decorations at all, it is beautiful as is. The staff was superb the entire night and catered to each and every one of our needs. The food was truly outstanding! I'm blown away that they can prepare such amazing food in that quantity. We received so many compliments from our guests about how nice the venue was, how fantastic the food tasted, and how helpful the staff was. We initially worked with Renee who was fantastic to work with, showed us around, and answered all of our questions to book the venue. We then worked with Lindsey, the coordinator, was also an absolute pleasure to work with, kept in contact throughout, coordinated with all of our vendors, and made our special day possible. The perfect venue and the perfect staff made for a perfect wedding! We can't thank you enough Nicklaus Club!

omodating and quick to respond to emails. The day of the wedding, she was essential to making sure everything ran smoothly. I didn't have to worry about anything - and I'm a huge control freak! Our guests were amazed and the wonderful "flow" of the venue and the delicious food! The venue itself is technically in Monterey, however it's not your typical beach wedding. It's nestled within the hills of Monterey next to Laguna Seca Raceway. It's surrounded by gorgeous homes and a lush green golf course. At night, they have lights in the trees that twinkle in the moonlight. The outside is so full of nature's beauty that it didn't take much to decorate the venue! When you walk inside there is plenty of space for your guests to roam. Whether its the "sofa room" with the piano and huge fireplace, the bar or the outside patio with seating and an outside fireplace, there are tons of places for your guests to explore while you take photos. The dining room itself took some time getting used to as it has gold painted decor on the walls, but at night it came alive and looked really nice. It's hard to take in the daytime though. All-in-all, Pasadera was an awesome choice and one of the easiest things to decide on in the whole scheme of wedding planning. Caitlyn is awesome and the chefs are top notch!

never did! Pasadera had great food and my guests were pleased, so I was pleased. The whole process never seemed like work, but just a lot of fun and Dayna made everything go smoothly! I can't say enough how wonderful my wedding was and how much Pasadera influenced that! I love that place and I love Dayna Alvey!
