This place is fantastic! We were blown away from the second we arrived from the kindness of the staff and top flight service. The location is excellent a couple blocks from the beach and a very easy walk.

Questions about the venue
Does the venue include catering, or do we hire an outside caterer?+
Kimpton Mirador provides in-house catering for events. Your wedding package includes food and beverage service through the hotel's restaurant and bar operations. Outside catering is not permitted.
What is the weather like in Pacific Grove during peak wedding season?+
Summer months (June-September) average 60-65°F with lower fog. Fall (September-October) is typically warmer and clearer. Wind is common year-round due to coastal location, so plan accordingly for ceremonies.
Are there backup indoor spaces if weather turns bad?+
Yes. The hotel has covered indoor event areas and climate-controlled ballrooms that can accommodate ceremonies and receptions. Your planner can discuss contingency setups during the booking process.
How close is the venue to San Francisco or Los Angeles?+
Monterey Regional Airport is 10 minutes away. San Francisco International is 120 minutes north by car. Los Angeles International is 220 minutes south. Most guests fly into Monterey for convenience.
Can we get married on the beach or in nearby public areas?+
No. Ceremonies must occur on hotel property or in Kimpton-approved venues. Local permits for beach weddings are handled separately through Pacific Grove city planning and typically require months of advance notice.
