Patricia W. Sent on 07/06/2024Ragged Point makes a perfect wedding venue
Our wedding at Ragged Point Inn was perfect and the pros there really knew how to hold a quality event. Sandra, the event coordinator, listened to what we wanted then guided us to the best decisions. Her communication via email, telephone, in person visits and even texts kept us informed and she encouraged us that all was going to be wonderful. We selected the prime rib buffet and it was absolutely delicious! I also used the on site bakery to make our wedding cakes and they were so delicious!!! I had a vanilla and a separate chocolate cake. All our guests were complimentary on the taste of the food, the quality of the staff's service, and of course the unique, gorgeous setting. The dinner was my number one item of importance and it met all my expectations.
Our room had the perfect view south along the coast and the in room fireplace made it so very romantic. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of room for getting ready for a wedding.
We also rented the entire Cliff House and that made a great meeting place and a post banquet dance location. The five rooms were perfect for my closet friends and family to gather and visit. We did a small rehearsal dinner there and it was tasty and relaxing.
I can't say enough about my love for Ragged Point. It's beautiful, unique location, the people who work there and the food they offer are amazing. We will be coming back soon! -

Jleigh P. Sent on 03/14/2024One of a kind venue!
As a local professional wedding photographer and the owner of JLeigh Photography, I have had the opportunity to shoot at many different venues. However, Ragged Point is one that truly stands out for its breathtaking views and stunning backdrop for wedding photography.
Located right off the scenic Highway 1 in California, Ragged Point offers a one-of-a-kind experience for couples looking for a picturesque wedding venue. The moment you arrive, you are greeted with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and rugged cliffs, making for a dramatic and romantic setting.
The main ceremony site at Ragged Point is perched on a cliff, overlooking the ocean. Not only does this provide a stunning backdrop for the couple's exchange of vows, but it also offers a unique opportunity for aerial shots of the ceremony from above. The natural lighting at this location is also exceptional, making it ideal for capturing beautiful and natural outdoor photos.
The staff at Ragged Point is also top-notch. From the event coordinator Sandra to the on-site team, they are all extremely professional and accommodating. They go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of, making it a stress-free experience for both the couple and the photographer.
One thing that sets Ragged Point apart from other wedding venues is its versatility. Whether you are planning an intimate elopement or a grand outdoor wedding, this venue can cater to your needs.
Overall, Ragged Point is a photographer's dream. The stunning views, unique photo opportunities, and exceptional staff make it an ideal venue for capturing beautiful and memorable wedding photos. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical and picturesque setting for their special day. -

This was such a magical place to make my daughter’s dream wedding come true. The venue is amazing, the views are stunning, the staff is incredible, and the food was perfect. My daughter and (now) son in law felt so special and blessed having their ceremony celebrated with all their loved ones, and in a location very important to them. I wasn’t sure I could possibly make their dream come true, yet working with Sandra (events coordinator), she made it all happen in a way I could afford. She went above and beyond to make their day all it should be. The reception coordinator, Savana, made all my stress eased so I could fully enjoy the evening. The Cliff House is a must for your wedding party to stay in and for the bridal party to enjoy while getting ready. It’s so amazing and was perfect for our after party too. I highly recommend Ragged Point Inn for your special event. It will be magical for you as well. -

July 2023 Wedding
We couldn't have gotten married anywhere else. We searched around many different venues but always came back to Ragged Point. It is our special, happy place. All of our guests LOVED it and we got so many compliments on what a gorgeous venue it was. Sandra, the venue coordinator, worked with us to make it work with our budget. We had our ceremony at the pagoda and the reception/dance party inside the solarium. The food was delicious! They helped us put some of our decorations out and are really flexible with picking up/packing up decorations the next day. It was also great having only our wedding guests at the venue the night-of. It was also great having everything done in house to minimize the number of vendors we had to deal with. Definitely would recommend and if we had to do it again, we'd always come back to Ragged Point. -

It all came down to the staff
No doubt the venue location is spectacular and inspires a true sense of awe and wonder. The California central coast can't be beat for the blue skies, green trees and the sound of the crashing waves below. But, for us, it all came down to the staff at Ragged Point. Sandra, Junior, Nancy and Roger were amazing...their professionalism, experience and spot on suggestions made our son and his bride's wedding the special, memorable day they planned over a year for. Any questions we had were answered quickly, any request we had was accommodated if humanly possible. Sandra was so easy to work with and her staff was pleasant and responsive to our needs. Chef Junior made two delicious meals for us, the rehearsal dinner (Italian pasta bar) and the wedding reception the next day. I don't know how he did it but he served over 100 people outside on a rather chilly day tasty, HOT food. Amazing! Can't thank the staff at Ragged Point enough for being an essential part of our wedding team. -

We had a magical weekend at Ragged Point with all of our wedding guests. The venue is stunning and the staff is always so kind and helpful. Sandra helped us plan a perfect day. The bakery onsite provided a delicious cake, and the restaurant chef provided an amazing meal experience. Having all of those items available onsite made our destination wedding much more stress free. This gorgeous location made our wedding dreams come true, we look forward to coming by to check our lock for years to come. -

Jenny C. Sent on 08/12/2023Beautiful place, wonderful experience!
We had our wedding on 6/1/2023 at Ragged Point, and it was the most amazing experience we ever could have hoped for. We had a small wedding of 30 guests with the ceremony at the pagoda and the reception at the Cliff House. Our wedding party stayed at the cliff house for 2 nights (there's 5 rooms) and it was a perfect place to have a Welcome Dinner for everyone who traveled to be there. (Note: you can't cook in the kitchen, but we brought in pizza and snacks).
Sandra was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole process. If you can get out there for a tour with Sandra, the decision to have your wedding here will be easy. She walks you through everything, answers your questions, and will help you throughout the process as well. The staff were all lovely the entire time as well, from the set up crew to the wait staff.
I honestly could never say enough about how positive our experience was. We had a small wedding from 4pm-8pm on a Thursday, and a small group of us moved into the cliff house for the "after party" where we continued until about 11/12ish.
For the food, we had the prime rib buffet (truly delicious) and a beautiful cake from their bakery (don't forget to get flowers from the florist - we almost did!) We had a signature drink, beer, wine, and a cheese and fruit plate for the appetizers. It was all delicious.
We're just really grateful for our experience and couldn't have said "I do" in a more beautiful place. It's worth every penny! -

Sandra was an absolute delight to work with. She was very helpful and made good suggestions on planning our wedding
On 11-11-22 we had our dream wedding at the ragged point. We were worried this time of year it was gonna be a cold and uncomfortable but it turned out to be a perfect sunset wedding. Sandra and her team provided excellent service and our wedding went absolutely perfect. We wouldn’t change anything about our wedding and we can’t thank you enough to Sandra and the Ragged Point fir the most perfect wedding! -

Melanie R. Sent on 12/21/2022The location of my wedding dreams!!!!!
WOW. I loved my wedding simply because it was at RPI. From the beginning of the process to the very end, Sandra was an absolute joy to work with. A wedding is expensive so I loved knowing the money was going to a small, family-owned business. For Big Sur, this is the best, most affordable venue and it is also the most accessible.
I wanted my wedding to be a whole weekend away, like a mini destination wedding. This was the perfect venue for that because my guests rented out the whole venue friday and saturday. We hosted people for a welcome party friday night at the cliff house, had the wedding in the solarium on saturday, had an after party at the cliff house, and also invited them for a grab n go bagel brunch in the cliff house sunday morning before saying good bye. I saw my guests alllllllllll weekend and loved every second!
If I had to complain about anything it would be that the solarium isn't really big enough for dancing. But Sandra and her crew are used to this so after dinner they push the tables back. I really pushed the boundaries of the guest limits (90 guests is really the max for the solarium). If I had gone outdoors then my problems would have been resolved.
I used most of my vendors from their recommended list as well and really liked them all (except the DJ, not a fan of the particular DJ I had at Epic Entertainment). But Sandra did a great job at helping me find great people and companies, even through the pandemic.
The food is notoriously top-notch, but I would complain that there wasn't enough of it. If I had known I would have ordered more appetizers for cocktail hour. Everything tasted great though. I also think there was some miscommunication over the bar, but RPI has a great policy and price for alcohol. Again, something that I put on myself as I was a pretty casual bride and didn't plan very well. Having not planned things much though, I had a fabulous wedding and credit most of it to Sandra and RPI for hosting us. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Do the buy-out for larger weddings! -

My husband and I absolutely loved our Ragged Point wedding! Sandra, her daughter Lisa, and the entire Ragged Point team were amazing to work with. I really felt like they cared just as much about Nate and I’s wedding as we did! Every single one of my guests loved the location and the food, and the value was incredible as well. Looking back, I would not change a single thing about the wedding, and that’s completely due to Ragged Point Inn and their staff. Cannot recommend highly enough! -

Kiersten L. Sent on 10/30/2019Amazing venue that shines like a diamond
Ragged Point Inn really is the Portal to Big Sur. There are coastal views to the north and south and an amazing garden in the middle that is the most magical place to get married. No wonder it's constantly hosting weddings!
The staff is super nice and more than accommodating. I had a whole hotel buyout and Chris at the front desk always took the time to go through the entire hotel room booking with me. Cindy, the manager helped me fix a booking snafu with another customer from Singapore. And Sandra, the event coordinator walked us through all of our questions and ran such a tight ship day of, I didn't notice that any work was being done at all.
I was lucky enough to be able to stay for four whole days over my wedding weekend and the last day I just got to chill out and enjoy the view from the Cliff House. The suns reflection literally sparkled like a diamond from sunrise to sunset over the pacific ocean. I am so lucky to have had the Cliff House and Ragged Point as the home of my wedding with all of my family and friends. It truly was magical. And every guest said so! -

Gorgeous place for a wedding!
My husband and I just had our wedding at Ragged Point Inn and Resort and it blew away any expectations that we had. The location and views are unbelievable. Sandra is very easy to work with and is very organized. She answered any and all questions we had and helped us prepare for our big day. She helped coordinate the rehearsal and the day of. On the day of she works with all of the vendors to make sure everything goes smoothly. Everything went very smooth. I would definitely recommend the venue and working with Sandra. -

My husband and I chose Ragged Point and their team and would recommend it to anyone who wants to make their dream wedding a reality! We are from Bakersfield and we were driving along Hwy 1 when we stopped to see this beautiful place, even before we were looking for venues. We couldn’t seem to get RPI out of our minds when the time came to start looking. We were pleasantly surprised with the pricing for all that is included. Sandra, the wedding coordinator, and her team were fantastic to us. She was welcoming and professional at all times, as well as accommodating. She was also extremely helpful with answering my MANY questions! The restaurant at RPI catered our wedding and made our cake as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. Having our rehearsal dinner and wedding party stay at the Cliff House for the weekend was also one of our favorite parts of the whole weekend. It was so much fun to have all the friends and family stay in one place and spend time together. The ceremony grounds and Solarium reception area were gorgeous. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We are so happy! -

Great venue and great team, delivering a perfect wedding
Our daughter's wedding on December 1, 2018 at Ragged Point Inn was magical. After getting engaged June 8, 2018, plans quickly focused on finding a venue that could accommodate their desire to be married by the end of the year, limit destination wedding challenges and deliver a great experience for their guests.
Ragged Point Inn & Resort was the perfect choice, combining a stunning location and a team of skilled event professionals who understood immediately what our bride and groom wanted. From the first phone call to Sandra, our concerns evaporated. Sandra and her daughter, Lisa, could not have been more accommodating and focused on helping us quickly lock in the best vendors, from the wedding officiant, our amazing florist, tent vendor and DJ! Sandra was always available, upbeat and extremely helpful in providing ideas to consider. With Sandra and Lisa on board, I chose not to hire a wedding planner. Sandra was our Day of Coordinator and she and her team did not miss one detail!
Our guests raved about the food. Thanks to the Chef for everything: from an amazing Friday night BBQ; Saturday's signature cocktails and delicious appetizers under the tent; and the plated dinner in the Solarium for 90 guests, featuring salmon, chicken and beef tenderloin, quickly dubbed "the most delicious tenderloin - ever!" Their delicious carrot cake topped off the night. We also want to thank our team of servers and bartenders who worked with us the entire weekend and became part of our wedding family. And the reservations team who made each guest feel welcome from their first minute on the phone.
Other decisions:
* We bought out the entire Inn for Friday and Saturday nights and it made the entire weekend feel like a huge family vacation! It was great to see friends and family everywhere, many enjoying their first visit to Ragged Point Inn and the California coast.
* In addition to being "Wedding Central", the Cliff House provided a great place to host the "after party" on Saturday and the brunch on Sunday morning.
* Because Central Coast California weather can be unpredictable in December, we rented a large tent to accommodate the Friday night BBQ, as well as cocktails and appetizers following the ceremony at The Pagoda, weather permitting. Best decision ever! We knew where each event would be held and it allowed us to stage each venue ahead of time.
Having the wedding at The Ragged Point Inn & Resort was a GREAT decision. We can't imagine a better or more memorable wedding experience. Thank you! -

My husband and I are so happy with our wedding experience at Ragged Point Inn! Sandra and Lisa were incredible to work with and made every step of planning seemingly effortless. We had 92 guests and rented out the entire venue so we could run amuck around the magical property! Every aspect of our wedding was perfect. The staff was very accommodating. The food was SO good! We opted for the BBQ option and our guests were very pleased. Oh! and the cake was beautiful and tasted delicious! We have heard numerous times from our guests, "that was the BEST WEDDING EVER!" Thank you, Sandra and your team! Our wedding exceeded my expectations! -
