Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings Reviews

Anahi, Meghan, and Mailani were absolutely incredible! Anahi made us feel so comfortable about taking this big step. Throughout the planning process, we had several meetings with her, and her positive, easygoing, and welcoming attitude made everything so easy. On our wedding day, Meghan kept us on schedule. Any adjustments we wanted to make, she handled without hesitation. Mailani was attentive to any need we had. Thank you

Having everything included—catering, decor, setup,—made the planning process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely taken care of and able to enjoy every moment without any of the typical wedding stress.

The venue itself was absolutely stunning! It had a beautiful blend of elegance and charm, with plenty of space for both the ceremony and reception. The on-site coordinators were truly experts, anticipating every need and making sure we had everything we wanted.

We received so many compliments from family and friends about the whole experience, and we’re still hearing about how gorgeous the setting was and how much fun everyone had.

Truly an unforgettable experience!

From the moment we toured Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings, we knew it was the perfect venue for our big day.

Every corner of the venue is beautifully landscaped, which made for incredible photo opportunities.

Staff & Coordination
What truly sets Carmel Fields apart is the exceptional team. Our wedding coordinator was incredibly organized and attentive throughout the entire planning process.

On the day of the wedding, the team was seamless – everything ran like clockwork, leaving us free to enjoy every moment of the day without a single worry.

Ceremony & Reception
The ceremony site is an absolute showstopper, with its open-air design and stunning views of the surrounding hills. It’s peaceful, intimate, and filled with natural beauty that needed very little decoration to feel like a dream. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the location was. For the reception, the indoor ballroom is spacious, elegantly designed, and offers a chic, modern aesthetic that feels timeless. The lighting, sound system, and space layout were perfect for our large guest list, and the flow of the evening felt natural and comfortable.

Food & Catering
The food at Carmel Fields was another highlight. We chose one of their catering packages, and everything was absolutely delicious. From the cocktail hour appetizers to the plated dinner, our guests raved about how great the food was. The Wedgewood Weddings team provided excellent service, ensuring that everyone was well taken care of throughout the night.

Value
Considering the top-tier service, gorgeous setting, and stress-free planning experience, we felt the value of having our wedding at Carmel Fields was absolutely worth every penny. The all-inclusive packages made budgeting simple, and we appreciated the transparency and flexibility offered by the team throughout the process.

Choosing Carmel Fields by Wedgewood Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

If you’re looking for a venue that blends natural beauty with exceptional service, Carmel Fields is the place to go!

Our wedding at Carmel Fields was the most magical and perfect day thanks to Wedgewood. It was completely stress free and went so smoothly with our wedding planner Anahi and all the helpful reception staff. The ceremony on the beach was absolutely perfect and picturesque. The bridal suite and groom suite were available to us the entire event so we could change afterwards. From the day we booked the venue, Wedgewood staff helped guide us with meetings to choose all the details. Having vendors that know the venue and are vetted by Wedgewood included in the package made the process so breezy.

I don't even know where to start, I have nothing but good things to say! Then team here is amazing and on top of that their venue site is beautiful! I got all the credit on how organized, beautiful and smoothly things went but in reality I could not do this without the Carmel Fields team--Anahi, Jay, Annie and the rest of the staff. Our wedding was beautiful and so much fun. Our guest could not stop complimenting on how gorgeous everything was. I also got compliments on how delicious the food was. The team here are superstars and deserve all the kudos they get. They are super friendly, organized, and we're super happy we chose this site and this team to hold our wedding. Also their vendor partners are just as amazing as they are!

Our coordinator Anahi was phenomenal. We dropped a half baked seating chart idea in her lap the day before our wedding where we basically just had pages printed out with everyone's tables on some nice paper, and she managed to turn it into a full fledged art display within a couple of hours. She was incredibly attentive and has the friendliest demeanor you could ever find. Jaylon was our banquet captain and he did a great job of making sure everyone was fed. The panko chicken and Prime Rib was great! Aloha, Annie, Alycia & Mailani on the planning team made sure that every detail was covered and were very responsive as we bothered them constantly with our questions. My best man dropped my ring and one of my groomsmen wore the wrong color shirt, but otherwise we had the perfect wedding and my wife was so happy nothing could trigger her inner Bridezilla. So I can say I thankfully survived unscathed! I definitely recommend the Elite package. All the bells and whistles really added to the experience. The Merienda ballroom has some incredibly beautiful views!

My wife and I just got married at Carmel Fields Wedgewood on 7/19. We had our first meeting with Wedgewood and Annie about a year prior when we toured the property. After seeing the beautiful property, amazing amenities, all of the options for catering to our needs and wants for our day and the just amazing personality of Annie and everyone in the office, we decided that Carmel Fields Wedgewood was the place we wanted our day to take place.

Throughout the entire process of planning and leading up to our wedding day, the Wedgewood staff was so responsive, helpful, a pleasure to work with, pushed us to make decisions when needed, and made the entire experience as stress-free as planning for a wedding can be.

Come the day of our wedding, holy shit, was is everything we were promised to the T!!! During our last wedding review, Wedgewood had offered to get a piece of each kind of cake and set it aside so we could take them home and try all of them. Me being a picky cake person, didn't care to try all three and instead wanted 3 pieces of the strawberry cake with strawberry mousse (BOMB btw!). Sure enough Annie and Aloha made sure that happened. Might sound like a little thing but it is just a perfect example of the services that Annie, Aloha, and the ENTIRE team at Wedgewood Carmel provided to ensure our day was exactly what we wanted and what they promised it would be.

Overall, my message to people considering getting married here is, our favorite day ever would not have been what it was - if it wasn't for all of the beautiful people at Carmel Fields Wedgewood. We cannot thank them enough for the role that they played in making our day as amazing as it was!

I worked with Carmel fields to plan my wedding in 6 months and man was it super easy. I got everything I wanted it was so personable the food was great the vendors were great. Worth every cent. I couldn’t believe how smoothly it went. Honestly I’ll never stop recommending this place. They made my wedding dream so easy and perfect. So much experience in that whole team and the ability to text them questions helped any of my worries throughout the process. 10/10 love love love this team

The team at Carmel Fields was amazing going above and beyond what we expected. My partner and I felt comfortable and in control of the entire process. The team was extremely organized and helped answer any possible questions we had along the way. The beach ceremony was stunning, combined with the preferred floral vendor, delivering a spring-themed, colorful wedding. The venue was equally as gorgeous and the Carmel Fields team did an incredible job decorating, going above and beyond what we even asked for/anticipated. We received so many comments from our guests on the setting, decor, venue, and food. Some said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and we would agree. Thanks, WW Carmel Fields team for an incredible wedding day!

We absolutely loved our experience and had had an incredible wedding all thanks to Carmel Fields! They were incredible with their communication and planning and planning. They were able to make our wedding day vision into a reality and did it seamlessly! The day of, we had no stress and the day turned out perfectly! Highly recommend to family & friends!

Ever since visiting my grandparents in Carmel every summer as a kid, I dreamed of having a wedding there. Even planning long-distance, Carmel Fields made our dream wedding possible.

The team was a godsend for this stressed bride planning from afar! They provided vendor recommendations for everything from florists to hair & makeup so I felt totally confident in each decision.

Our ceremony on the beach was a dream come true for me. Afterward, we did our grand entrance into the ballroom and everything was even better than I had imagined it. I left all my decor with the coordinator and she set everything up perfectly.

Book this venue if you want a beautiful and stress-free Carmel wedding! Absolutely recommend again and again.

We had a great time our guest loved the photo booth thank u!!

Wow - Carmel Fields is SO SO pretty! I visited this spot a few years back for a friend's wedding and it was beautiful then, but after their recent renovation, it's absolutely gorgeous. I love the rustic-modern vibe with the Spanish-style architecture. It's the perfect look for our coastal wedding. We wanted to have a traditional reception with a beach ceremony, and Carmel Fields gives us all that and more! Not to mention, the team is so wonderful. We couldn't be happier and have been recommending them to all our friends.

We loved Carmel Fields by wedgewood. They were all professional and the venue/beach were beautiful! The staff definitely makes you feel it is all about you. We had absolutely no stress during our wedding.

The team at Wedgewood is wonderful! Even though we spoke with multiple team members/coordinators throughout the process, they always had our up-to-date info. They set up multiple meetings with you to ensure nothing will be forgotten, and you get a day of coordinator. They just renovated the reception rooms as well, and they are gorgeous! Our guests loved the food too! I reached out to multiple all-inclusive/mostly inclusive venues in the Monterey/Carmel area, and they were definitely the most affordable if you want coordinators and food/bev included. Highly recommend!

We can’t recommend this venue more! The entire planning process was so easy, efficient and perfect.

The venue was so beautiful and exactly what we had imagined. You guys set everything up and took it down. The food, drinks, and deejay were the hit of the night. I can’t imagine having a more perfect venue and people to work with.

Anahi made the night so easy for us. She took such good care of us by brining us appies, we really needed that, and serving us dinner and drinks. We felt like guests at our own wedding. Actually more like royalty. She also coordinated our families and everyone so well.

The organization of your weddings is above and beyond. I can’t recommend your company more to everyone. It was so easy, beautiful and organized. For someone who didn’t live in Carmel, it was amazing and so easy to work with you and plan a destination wedding.

My experience with Carmel Fields, Wedgewood Weddings was absolutely amazing. I can't say enough positive things about their company and wedding services. My main coordinators, Torey and Alycia, were truly incredible in all the categories. Torey helped me through each step of the planning process and created my ideas into a vision while staying within my budget range. Her attention to detail and organization is phenomenal. Alycia was spectacular in coordinating our meals, and guests, and packing everything up at the end of the night. She even saved the wedding boutique that I left behind! Many of my guests commented on how well our wedding went and how much fun they had. I owe it all to these two amazing gals and truly appreciate all the work they did to make my wedding day everything I hoped for and more. I highly recommend Carmel Fields- Wedgewood weddings if you are searching in this area. You can't beat their package deals and amazing service!

We can't speak highly enough about the team at Wedgewood Weddings.
My husband and I are both resident physicians, and with our 80 hour work weeks, we weren't sure how we could pull together a destination wedding for our 110 guests on a reasonable budget. The planning team at Wedgewood brought our vision to life!

Carmel Fields was the first venue I toured and I knew instantly it would be the ideal fit for us. The planning team is extremely organized, and gives you a wedding planning binder so you know what to expect. There are three major meetings with the team and the scheduling is flexible for either in person or phone call meetings.

My husband and I come from different cultures and knew we wanted not one, but TWO, outfit changes at the reception to equally represent both of our backgrounds. On the day of the wedding, Priscilla our planning made the timeline so smooth and gave us the two grand entrances we envisioned. Our DJ Lupe was incredible; he played music from both cultures and kept the dance floor packed. He even stayed a few minutes after the wedding was over to play a few final song requests and get on the dance floor himself! After the wedding, Aloha was so sweet and helped us clean up the decor we brought to the venue so we could get to our after party.

Another compliment we got from a lot of our guests was on the food. We chose the prime rib, panko parmesan chicken, and tortellini and there was so much food with the 8 salads! The wedding cake was also delicious.

I have to give a huge shout out to their florist, Flor De Monterey! We wanted tropical flowers and she created gorgeous pieces that everyone loved at a reasonable price.

Finally, we also used the officiant service. Konrad was an excellent speaker and even inserted some humor which was great.

Overall, we are so happy with our experience and would recommend this venue to all our friends and family!

Absolutely Amazing! Carmel fields made our beach wedding dream come true. It was so beautiful and magical. We still talk about it. I highly recommend them.

Working with them was amazing and made this process so much easier. They have wedding planning down and made sure it was all covered

We had a great time working with this venue! Everyone was very professional and friendly and patient with our questions and requests. Our day-of-coordinator Olivia was amazing and I would definitely want to be friends with her outside of the wedding. Our critiques are that I felt like communication lacked between team members sometimes because we had to repeat the same request between people and I don't believe information was passed along. We also were sad that some of the items we requested be a part of our reception were not, including my husband's wall lights and the flower petals I purchased for the tables.

I married my husband on October 22, 2021. Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to get married in Monterey. Coming across this venue on WeddingWire was a life saver since it is an all inclusive venue! This venue offers different packages, where you can add and remove any items you would like! The Wedgewood Team is an amazing group of people. We had such great service and everyone from our wedding planner to our DJ was absolutely amazing! The venue is beautiful and the food is delicious! We also had an open bar, which was pretty price efficient. I would like to give a special shout out to Kate Wessell... you're a ROCKSTAR!!! I would strongly recommend this venue to anyone, they truly made our day perfect!

Kate, Torey and the team at Wedgewood Carmel Fields make dreams come true.
We drove by the venue during our New Years visit going into 2020. We first met with Kate in July 2020. We considered one other venue, a beautiful hotel on the bay, but when their price was $8k more and only included venue and an open bar it was a no brainer that Wedgewood Carmel was the place to be. We booked our date for September 2021, when we thought the pandemic would be a thing of the past. Little did we know, it would be ongoing, but Wedgewood had protocols in place to ensure everyone’s safety.

Throughout the process we had check-ins with Kate who reassured us that our day would be perfect and that Wedgewood had a back up plan if any state or local mandates came up that would prevent our an indoor reception.

With their Bliss Benefits we had a credit towards purchasing from their website. Although most people get invitations, we had those covered so we ended up getting our wedding favor boxes, engraved champagne glasses, cocktail napkins and a cake serving set.

The DJ/MC service was part of our contact and was through Central Coast Entertainment, who was a fantastic partner. See my review on CCE.

We opted to add blue uplighting which added a magical ambiance to our Written In The Stars Theme.

We also added a wedding cake package through the partner vendor I Do Wedding Cake, which I also wrote a review about.

Our package included a buffet dinner which including a cheese board and veggie plate during cocktail hour, 6 chef chosen salads, a carving station, an entree station along with a vegetable and starch. Two types of wine were served during dinner and there was a champagne toast. When we were short our original guest count, we still had a minimum we had contracted to spend so Wedgewood allowed us to spend that on other services. We added 6 hors d’oeuvres to cocktail hour, added grand sparklers to our first dance and upgraded our linens to royal blue.

We chose the Merienda room because of the layout and the windows which gave us a view of the park preserve, the gazebo we were married at and the moon as it rose. We also liked the flow, the cash bar being in a separate area, a patio with bistro lights and the access to the courtyard with a fireplace so we could spread out for quieter conversations during the evening.

Torey was our coordinator day before and day of and she is amazing. She was able to walk us through our rehearsal and what to expect. She also was able to take all of the decorations we brought to set them up ahead of the wedding, like the table decor, guest favors, entry decor (guest book), our cake topper and even created a handwritten seating chart when the one we ordered from an outside vendor fell through.

Day of, we had access to a room to get ready in and we were greeted with champagne. The team at Wedgwood had executed our vision perfectly. They even included a backdrop with twinkle lights behind our sweetheart table because they knew it would be perfect for our theme.

We were able to take our wedding party picture ahead of the wedding. We have a friend who is a photographer who Torey gave advice for us to take photos at a precise moment to get the best light (see champagne toast photo below).

Our cocktail hour was in the bar area and the hors d’oeuvres were a hit. We missed out on a few but when we arrived at our sweetheart table Torey had made sure there were some saved for us. We also had champagne and wine available for us so we wouldn’t need to go to the bar.

Jayla was the catering manager and she was very courteous. Her and Torey assisted us in plating our dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. Due to the pandemic we weren’t able to do a tasting ahead of time, but Wedgewood has photos to share and not only does the food look just as amazing in person, it also tasted so delicious. We had herbed roast beef and Panko crusted chicken with a sherry cream sauce for our entrees and both exceeded all expectations. The rest of the catering staff took exceptional care of our guest, everyone was professional and courteous. Jayla also took over for Torey later in the evening and made sure all of our special items were packed and ready when the evening concluded. We didn’t need to worry about set up or clean up, the team at Wedgewood handled everything.

To recap, with Wedgewood Carmel Fields, you’ll get a team of wedding planning professionals who are dedicated to making sure your wedding day seamless, a beautiful location to get married (gazebo or beach) and have a reception (choice between 2 rooms), food for your guest, a complete bar, a professional entertainment company, and access to other services if you need them like florist, photographers, bakers, attire, etc.

Lastly, thank you Kate for all of our planning sessions and making sure we had everything we wanted all while staying within our budget.
Thank you Torey for making the day of absolutely perfect, your smile, and your leadership. You made sure we had nothing to stress about and your team made everything seamless. I will be recommending Wedgewood to every newly engaged couple I know.

I cannot thank the Wedgewood Carmel team enough. They truly helped make my wedding day one of the best days possible. Back when we started researching wedding venues, I was shocked that some places in the Carmel/Monterey area wanted to charge $13,000+ just to rent the space! Wedgewood has got the best prices in the area hands down. Plus, depending on which package you choose, they include invitations, cake, DJ, clergy, food, drinks, linen, chairs, and more. I don’t know how I would have survived wedding planning without Wedgewood.
We were one of the not-so-lucky couples that had to postpone our wedding because of Covid. Our original wedding date was supposed to be 17 days after the big shutdown in March 2020. Wedgewood stuck with us through 3 postponements and 4 different wedding dates. I know a lot of people that went with other venues weren’t so lucky. We didn’t lose out on any of the money we put towards our wedding and they even provided us with a free chair upgrade which was totally unexpected.
Kate was our event coordinator on the big day and she absolutely rocks! Anything I needed, she was right there ready to help. Right before the ceremony I had to use the restroom and she made sure that the other Wedgewood staff had eyes on my husband to make sure he didn’t accidentally see me before the ceremony. I was a nervous wreck just before the ceremony and she talked me down and offered to have a drink waiting for me and my husband as soon as the ceremony was over. Sure enough, right after the ceremony when we turned the corner, there she was with 2 mimosas in hand. She also came in and saved us when we were trying to bustle my dress. Since I had had it altered well over a year before the wedding everyone forgot how we were supposed to bustle it. Kate stepped in and got it done in a matter of minutes.
I could go on and on with all of the wonderful things I have to say about Kate and the Wedgewood Carmel staff. Just know that if you choose them for your wedding, they will not disappoint.

Kate from Wedgewood was our main coordinator for our wedding. Kate and the staff were excellent and very professional. I had so many questions during the planning process, and they responded fast via email and over the phone!

I also had a bunch of wedding decorations, and they were able to set up everything with no problem. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding venue!

Thank you, Wedgewood!
