Big Sur area site - 010103wase
The Wind & Sea Estate is actually a vacation rental. (Click here for the Wind & Sea listing on VRBO). However, they market the home as a wedding venue, so we include it on our list.
The 3,000 square foot estate sleeps 12 and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific. A patioed ceremony area overlooks the ocean and has bench seating for your guests. The home itself is spacious and updated so it's a real treat to stay here. Added bonus is that the home can serve as an indoor backup ceremony venue in the event of inclement weather.
Couples book this site when they want an all-inclusive, all in one small-wedding experience. It's possible to stay, get ready for the wedding, be married and dine here (we'll connect you with our caterer, who will come onsite and prepare a spectacular meal of your choosing).
Note: don't let the seemingly high daily rate scare you. When you factor in that guests would generally be expected to pay for their portion of lodging, the cost to you is actually quite reasonable--considering you're getting a private venue for both the ceremony and reception.
What we love about this site:
The views are S.P.E.C.T.A.C.U.L.A.R!
All in one: get ready, have your ceremony, enjoy your reception, and relax.
