About the Luxury Carmel Valley Wedding Venue

As you make your way into the lobby of Carmel Valley Ranch, you’ll notice its cozy fireplaces, Valley Kitchen which is the Ranch’s vibrant organic restaurant and resort concierge ready to plan your week of activities. From golf to hiking, tennis, and archery, mountain top yoga to learning about their honey bee apiary, this 500-acre playground has it all. Be sure to make a weekend of it because there are plenty of activities offered by the resort to create unforgettable experiences for you and your guests. With nine ceremony and reception spaces, you’ll have plenty of options for your wedding. My personal favorite is the Harvest Landing a stunning terrace just below Valley Kitchen with views of vineyards below and the expanse of Carmel Valley beyond. Imagine your party perched above nature’s paintbox, surrounded by birdsong and whispering oaks. You can even exchange vows in the vineyard with mountains towering over you and your wedding guests. If you’re looking for a resort surrounded by vineyards, oak trees, and a touch of understated elegance, you’ll fall in love with Carmel Valley Ranch.
