Wedding Wednesday: Hyatt Carmel Highlands
The Pacific's Edge Restaurant serves gourmet cuisine that rivals these gorgeous views.
The 144-room cliff-side Hyatt Carmel Highlands offers awe-inspiring views unrivaled anywhere else around Monterey and Carmel — some could even argue the entire West Coast. Providing the ultimate in wedding photo backdrops, the stunning views can be seen throughout the property. Spacious accommodations at the resort are handsomely decorated with modern decor. Most feature working fireplaces, patios or balconies, and whirlpools with striking views of the rocky shore. The on-site restaurants serve delicious meals (and provide great reception options), and the outdoor fire pit is a nice spot for relaxing and taking in a healthy dose of sea breeze before the big day.
Weddings at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands make use of the hotel's breathtaking views and gourmet cuisine. Couples can choose to wed on the hotel's Gazebo Deck, in the Surf Room, or in the Yankee Point space. The Gazebo Deck is nestled above the jaw-dropping cliffs of Big Sur and can accommodate up to 115 guests on a lovely redwood deck surrounded by lush gardens. The Surf Room features a balcony space and floor-to-ceiling windows so guests can soak in the view from indoors, and the bride doesn't have to worry about rain ruining her big day. Yankee Point is perfect for smaller weddings, and features a cozy fireplace. An on-site wedding specialist is available to assist couples in choosing a location, arranging discounted rates for guests, and constructing a menu for the reception. The bride and groom will also enjoy a a complimentary guestroom that comes with a chilled bottle of champagne to toast the special occasion. As a bonus, Hyatt will also arrange for couples to enjoy free honeymoon nights at any Hyatt location worldwide. Cheers to that!
