rides today look for something different, special and sometimes private. Bed and breakfasts have become a popular place
to tie the knot at due to their elegance and charming combination.
Imagine saying ‘I do’ in one of California’s most romantic estates in the heart of Monterey, California. The Old Monterey Inn offers classic décor, paired with elegant surroundings and gardens that make a perfect blend for romance and dream weddings.
To me the inn is like stepping into a classical movie; it is gorgeous with a fresh English-style. This elegant estate offers 10 impeccably decorated rooms. The pièce de resistance is that the inn is set amidst some of the most enchanting gardens you’ll ever see and provides the perfect backdrop for any intimate wedding.
Manager Brittany Elsman says,“ We do a lot of elopement weddings. Couples can come and stay with us and have up to 6 guests attend their wedding. We provide a great landscape with the gardens. We can help them arrange the officiant, photographer, caterer or restaurant – we offer concierge services that can help with anything the couple needs.”
Bridal couples stay two nights with up to 6 people to witness the event, Sunday to Thursday with champagne and etched keepsake glasses and you get the best room available in the house!
The inn can also accommodate larger weddings up to 40 people. The entire inn can be rented for two nights, including concierge services and the exclusive use of the entire establishment. Brittany adds, “I have been to a lot of places and this is the first historical site that is quaint and charming and beautiful, we get a lot of people commenting on our gardens.”
Guests also get to savor breakfast each morning. “We do a two course gourmet breakfast and this morning was a broccoli and egg dish matched with croissants or English muffins. To start we served our cranberry pear crisp with whipped cream, everything is homemade and prepared by us.”
This Old Monterey Inn seems the perfect setting for beginnings and is a great destination for future anniversaries!
