about the venue:

Perched dramatically on the cliffs of the Big Sur coast, Hyatt Carmel Highlands has been a sanctuary for romance for over a century. This historic venue is renowned for its Gazebo Wedding Deck, an open-air redwood platform featuring glass railings that offer completely unobstructed, 270-degree views of the crashing Pacific waves. It is arguably one of the most cinematic ceremony sites in Northern California, blending rugged coastal power with refined luxury.

The venue’s distinct advantage lies in its versatile, view-centric reception spaces. The Oceanside Ballroom features vaulted 16-foot ceilings, natural hardwood floors, and two wood-burning fireplaces, creating a "warm and cozy" atmosphere that avoids the typical hotel banquet feel. For more intimate gatherings, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Surf Room and the award-winning Pacific’s Edge Restaurant provide a front-row seat to world-class sunsets. Combining "Napa-style" service with Big Sur’s wild beauty, the Hyatt ensures an intimate, high-end experience for each guest.
