Late April, Amazáe was invited to the 2^nd Wedding Familiarization Event at Pebble Beach Resort. It was an honor for Crystal to be one of the planners invited, and the experience was enjoyable and informative.  It gave us first hand experience on what our clients would have to look forward to when booking their wedding and event at the Pebble Beach Resort.

Pebble Beach’s goal is to raise the bar within the wedding planning industry. In addition to being an exception destination, Pebble Beach also is an all-inclusive resort with the highest of class facilities, located within one of the world’s most magnificent settings. One of the more subtle and impressive factors of the resort’s community, is it’s staff. Every employee we interacted with from the moment we step through the gates was delightful, knowledgeable and fun, making our stay evermore relaxing.

Pebble Beach is land filled with rich history dating back to the 1830’s. During our stay, we were given a tour of the famous 17-Mile Drive. Fabulous tour guide, Brooke Bailey, gave an entertaining and knowledgeable look at what was and still is one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Pebble Beach’s famous cypress logo was created after their famous lonely cypress, which is over 250 years old and has grown out of granite that covers all of Monterey County. The Lodge at Pebble beach was created in 1919 and has served guests for nearly 100 years.

Pebble Beach offers four breathtaking locations for weddings and events. All locations offer different yet gorgeous styles for brides and grooms.
The Lodge at Pebble Beach offers a classical and romantic ambiance with glamorous spaces and breathtaking views.The Inn at Spanish Bay has more of a “contemporary California” vibe with views ceremony site views of the Pacific Ocean, and a large ballroom that accommodates up to 350 guests.
Casa Palmero is a very exclusive, Mediterranean-style estate, which includes lush landscaping and 25 guest rooms brimming with old-world charm.  A buy out of this location to have your exclusive event weekend would be spectacular.  The Beach and Tennis Club offers spectacular views through it’s glass wall as it is nestled into the rocky coastline of the ocean. Seating up to 250, the facility also has a spacious patio with a warm and inviting outdoor fireplace to accent the location’s gorgeous setting.

And stay tuned for the remodel of Club XIX, coming in the summer, with a to die for wood-fire menu, excellent staff, and surprises.  We can’t wait to visit again and try out the experience there.

If you are looking for a memorable, one of a kind, luxurious wedding and event experience at a not-so-distant destination, we encourage you to consider Pebble Beach. Give Amazáe a call (408.249.2184), as we’d love to set up a personal site visit with one of their fabulous managers. Taking a tour may be the perfect excuse to have a weekend off to stay the night and experience the extreme beauty and luxury that is Pebble Beach.
