TPC Monterey at Pasadera

to the day. One of the standout features was the thoughtful layout. With multiple areas for different parts of the celebration, guests could move around easily and comfortably. From the ceremony space to the reception and cocktail areas, everything flowed seamlessly, creating a glam and enjoyable atmosphere. The design truly encouraged mingling and made the event feel dynamic and engaging. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a venue that combines elegance with functionality.

was absolutely perfect. Carl Cortez was incredible to work with—so organized, responsive, and kind. He genuinely cared about making sure every detail was just right and went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly. Any time I had a question, he was quick to answer and always reassuring. The chef and culinary team outdid themselves! They even created custom Mexican dishes for us, and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. The staff and bartenders were so professional, friendly, and attentive—everyone felt well cared for the entire night (which is saying a lot with 250 guests!). The venue itself is absolutely stunning and made for such a seamless day—we were able to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after-party all in one place. We also stayed overnight in the on-site rooms, which were spacious, elegant, and perfect for the bridal party to get ready together. It was the most beautiful fall day and the perfect setting for our daughter’s wedding. We can’t thank Carl and the entire Pasadera team enough for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever.

ch a manner that guests to this day continue to say “our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended!” That’s saying a lot because both sides of our families are Filipinos and we have large families that attend many nuptials! The Club at Pasadera was the first venue we visited and we immediately fell in love with it! From the first phone call to schedule a site visit, Carl Cortez was enthusiastic and accommodating. Carl is a wedding whisperer. He is amazing and exceptional. He was instrumental to the success of our wedding! He literally was our 2nd wedding planner and went above and beyond to make our fairytale wedding a reality! Carl took away many of the unexpected stresses that come when planning a big wedding (almost 200 guests). Carl listens and always comes up with solutions to ensure your vision is executed. He constantly provides suggestions that complement and enhance our wedding vibe and theme. When we did our tasting, Carl was so helpful in explaining the menu and helping us pair the different types of food. Carl is very organized and keeps us updated on all the deadlines. He works seamlessly with all the vendors and does everything in his power to make sure the vendors have what they need to make our wedding day perfect. He returns calls, emails and texts immediately. Most importantly, Carl always has cost in mind and made sure we stayed within our budget without compromising our vision. When we told him we wanted a “Lechon” served during cocktail hour as part of our Filipino culture tradition, he said no problem. The Club at Pasadera is a beautiful venue. From the gated entrance to the gentle rolling hills and greenery to the Spanish inspired Clubhouse and fountain courtyard, your guests will feel as if they were transported to Spain. What makes The Club at Pasadera a perfect venue for weddings is that there are many rooms and courtyards for guests to experience and mingle. The flexibility for guests to be in intimate or large gatherings all under one roof was a big hit, no one got bored or left early. When it got chilly in the evening, the staff lit the propane heaters to make sure our guests were comfortable. In addition to the complimentary golf for the bride and groom and the special golf rates for some of our guests, the biggest perk for having our wedding at The Club at Pasadera was the 5 bedrooms lodge for the bride and bridal party to get ready and sleep over. The convenience of the location was extraordinaire. Lastly and most importantly, everyone was raving about how delicious the food at The Club at Pasadera was, especially the Prime Rib! From the Hors d'oeuvres to the customized late snacks (clam chowder (both Boston and New England), garlic fries and chicken strips), everything was absolutely scrumptious. For dinner, we chose the buffet menu to make sure everyone got to choose what they wanted to eat and to make sure no one left hungry. The presentation and the quality of the food was exceptional. And we can’t forget the bartenders who created our signature drinks, Espresso Martinis and Margaritas! The staff is what makes The Club at Pasadera superior. They truly care and make everyone feel special. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!

ery accommodating and helped us every step of the way. We have a lot of allergies in our family and the kitchen staff was able to make delicious meals that all our guests were able to enjoy! The venue itself is gorgeous - there isn’t much “glitzing” up you need to do to make for a breathtaking reception. The guests in particular enjoyed all of the different spaces the club has - we even made use of the outdoor fireplace and had a s'mores station! The bridesmaids and bride stayed in the lodge the wedding weekend and it made for some great getting-ready shots the morning of the wedding, and overall it was great to have a space at the reception venue for the bridal party to park their stuff and be able to crash after all the festivities.

our tasting was phenomenal. The staff helped us craft our own perfect 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!

d affordable. The package covered everything we needed, we tailored 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.

e best possible wedding planning/wedding experience. Paige especially 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!

ception and the food is outstanding! The whole planning process was super smooth and our wedding day a dream!

better. Debbie Monti was the first person we met on our site visit, 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.

specifically for our wedding. The food and drinks were all great, 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!

cktail hour in the lounge area, they have an open are with beautiful 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!!!

year we planned this celebration. The ceremony was magical, the 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!

ish villa/winery. We held our ceremony in the courtyard and needed 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 :)

The staff, especially Lindsey and Renee, went above and beyond to 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!

enue. Lindsey and Renee were so helpful and attentive to our needs. 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.

d a "country club" wedding, but this place feels nothing like a 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!!

ey have a big dining room / dance floor, a very nice lounge, a bar 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!

f-coordinator," Caitlyn, is amazing. She is super friendly, accomodating 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!

are "some" things that will go wrong during the wedding, but it 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!
