Q + A

The Bernardus is an amazing option if guests want to relax and enjoy the views of the vineyards and mountains in Carmel Valley. The Bernardus is where we stayed when we got engaged and loved every minute. The hotel has an amazing restaurant on site, beautiful gardens and vineyards, pool and spa. If you’re looking to relax this is the place to stay! We loved the spa and the hot tub has wonderful views.

Bernardus Lodge & Spa

Carmel Valley Ranch is also located close to the wedding venue location. This is another great option for families andthe hotel has a unique experience for kids to go out and experience life on the ranch for the day. The hotel also has a restaurant, spa, and golf course.

This hotel is approximately 30 minutes outside of Carmel Valley located closer to the town of Monterey. This is a great option for families and is closer to the airport, grocery stores, and shopping. Staying in Monterey is a little less expensive than staying up in Carmel valley.

Jennifer’s favorite place to relax. She recommends spending time here in the sauna and steam room, followed by a massage and hydrating facial treatment.

Bernardus Spa

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a short drive from Carmel Valley located next to Carmel beach. This is a great area to park and walk around. It features lots of amazing places to eat and little shops. Carmel Beach is also a short walk from the shops and restaurants and is where John proposed!
