Planning a Wedding


Welcome to the www.montereyinfo.org Wedding Planner page. With just a few clicks, we can help you plan the essential elements of a wonderful wedding, from the music to the minister, from the bouquet to the banquet.

We suggest you print out our "Planning a Wedding" Form to make notes on as you work your way through the information online. Clicking the hot links below will take to you listings of MCCVB members who can supply the services you need. Just jot them down as you go for handy reference. In some cases, you can even contact suppliers by email, right from this web site.

The Wedding Venue
We have dozens of scenic outdoor locations, churches and chapels, hotels and special venues that might prove perfect for your wedding. Wedding consultants can help you narrow the choices.

Local Accommodations
You and your guests will need somewhere to stay in the days leading up to the event—and you'll need somewhere to stay for your honeymoon! Many of these properties can be booked online. If you need 10 or more rooms, our Group Sales Department can help you find accommodations—please call us on 831-657-6414 or email [email protected].

The Dress (and other wedding clothes)
We assume you are bringing your wedding dress with you, but if this is a spur of the moment decision, try the fine apparel shops in Carmel Plaza and the Del Monte Center.

The Rings
Commemorate your Monterey wedding with rings selected at one of our fine local jewelers and jewelry designers. Also great for finding presents for the wedding party participants.

Flowers
You may need your bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages for honored guests, even flowers for decorating the wedding site and banquet site.

Photographer/Videographer
A picture tells your wedding story at a glance: don't forget to arrange for these essential mementos of the day.

Entertainment
Live music during the ceremony, a dj spinning disks at the reception: these pros can help you hear the music playing in your head.

Children's Services
If it's an adults-only event, you can arrange baby-sitting and children's entertainment to keep little ones content and out of harm's way.

Transportation
Unless the entire event takes place under the roof of the hotel you're staying in, you'll need to travel on your wedding day, and to get around town before and after it. Do it in style!
