Alila Ventana Big Sur Reviews

Ventana Inn is a dreamy place to have a wedding, it's such a unique and enchanting venue!! The scenic views are absolutely jaw-dropping, the food is to die for, and the service is superb. My guests were so excited for the opportunity to visit this special spot, and I know I'll be coming back for years to come. Ventana is my 'happy place'.

Sophia, the catering sales manager, worked tirelessly with me for an entire year to make sure that my wedding was perfect. I can get really intense when it comes to working out details and budgets but she was always right on my level, totally proactive about every detail. Now I feel like she is more of a friend than a business partner! She and her team bent over backwards more times than I can count so that my every expectation was exceeded. I've never experienced better service anywhere in my life.

The one drawback about choosing Ventana was the price tag, which was considerable. But there is simply no other place like Ventana in Big Sur, and you get what you pay for! We're very glad that we were able to celebrate our special day here.

My husband and I used Ventana Inn & Spa for our small wedding ceremony this past October and I can't say enough good things about the venue and staff. We had a last-minute issue with our existing venue and engaged Ventana just three weeks before our wedding. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and offered a beautiful spot for the ceremony. Sophia, the Catering Sales Manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly on our wedding day and was just a dream to work with.

Oh My godness, such an amazing place!! We loved it, just perfect!!!

We just signed our contract for our wedding for the following reasons: 1. its breath taking, 2. the event planner was so kind, really made us feel like she cares, 3. they were flexible with price, 4. its breath taking, 5. Big Sur is so over looked as a wedding location but it is one of the most beautiful areas on the CA coast.

Holy %$# this place is awesome - the view is spectacular on a sunny day (which is most days out there), the food is excellent, and the coordinator, Barbara is absolutely the nicest person you'll ever meet. Even during the summer of 2008, when much of Big Sur was on fire, she made our wedding elegant, fun, and overall awesome.

Ventana was truly amazing and we can't wait to spend many anniversaries here.

We chose the elopement package at the Ventana Inn. The setting was breathtaking and it was so great not to have to worry about the details.
