Event Sales Manager
As the Event Sales Manager at The Quail, I bring a rich and diverse background in hospitality, with a career that has spanned food and beverage management, the wine industry, and sommelier expertise. My passion for creating memorable guest experiences naturally led me to the world of events, where I’ve found a true calling—especially when it comes to weddings. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping couples bring their vision to life and celebrating one of the most meaningful days of their lives. A semi-native of the Monterey Bay area, I take pride in showcasing the region’s natural beauty and charm to our clients. Whether it's a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, I strive to make every event at The Quail not only seamless and well-curated but truly unforgettable.

We had the majority of our guest stay at Quail Lodge including the bridal party. The bridal party stayed in the suites which are the way to go. they have 2 large mast bedrooms and ...
a large common area. Tall ceilings, you don't even feel like your at a hotel but instead an upscale home. The regular rooms were very nice as well with lots of space and seating are outside. The rooms are luxuries and have a large bathroom as well. Staff is very accommodating and their is a delicious breakfast each morning.

I am obviously biased, but this place was amazing! Planning a wedding is nerve-racking and you hope you made the right choice, but after our wedding was over without a doubt we pi...
cked the right place! The process was effortless with their staff and they are very professional. The food was amazing, all organic and farm to table style which is awesome! The place is beautiful, from the ceremony site to the reception site all of our guests still take about how gorgeous it is there. And relaxing, there is a peaceful feeling throughout all of their grounds. When a day like that can be crazy I was totally at ease. Everything was perfect and they went above and beyond to help accommodate our budget and thoughts for our special day! Would highly recommend this place for anyone's wedding and Harmony the wedding coordinator was great. Please check this place out if you are thinking of a wedding in Carmel. We looked at numerous places but fell in love with this place, and the weather in the valley is a little better than right on the coast! You have to see for yourself and hope other brides can enjoy this amazing property like we did!

We used Quail for both our ceremony & reception and couldn't be happier. The venue, food, service, and on-cite event coordinator, Audrey, were perfect. Audrey worked with us from s...
tart to finish to keep us on track and get us everything we needed. The outdoor Quail Meadows ceremony site is pristine, secluded, and tranquil. The first time I saw the meadows, I knew that was where I was going to get married. Guests were stunned when they drove up around the bend and saw the ceremony site. This location was also perfect for photos because it has a variety of background options and a lot of different lighting. We used the "barn" on site for hair, make up, and getting ready and it was very convenient, with no added expense of a typical hotel room. The reception area down the road in the clubhouse was a perfect size for our group of approximately 100. Gorgeous windows on three sides; great restaurant quality food; and really the whole top floor of the clubhouse to ourselves. The outside veranda was perfect for cocktail hour. I really felt like we got our money's worth at Quail and would recommend it to anyone who wants a California-style wedding.

Very good accommodations but expensive. In my opinion well worth the money if you can spend it. Beautiful ceremony site and reception room.
