Beautiful + Spacious Beach, Ballroom & Lawn Event Sites Are Social Distance-ready!

The historic Club del Monte has three amazing spots to spread out and enjoy your special day:

  • Both Peacock Lawn and the waterfront Crocker’s Cove host outdoor ceremonies and receptions.
  • Or bring the party indoors to the huge 10,000sf ballroom, where 250 guests can dine at a reasonable distance—and dance on the 900sf dance floor, too!

***EXCITING NEW PRICELESS BEACH WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION LOCATION ADDED TO CLUB DEL MONTE'S VENUES***

Club Del Monte is now offering a new beach ceremony and reception site located at "Crocker's Cove" at the Naval Postgraduate's private bluff overlooking Monterey Bay. One of a kind location on Monterey Bay!

Club Del Monte a delightful wedding venue located in Monterey, California. Couples and their guests will be able to enjoy 25 acres of beautiful land that boasts oak, cypress, and pine trees. The original Hotel Del Monte, built in 1880, was destroyed by fire on two occasions. The rebuilt establishment now features a Spanish-Moorish aesthetic, an ode to its 1926 restoration. In 1951 it was rebranded from a hotel into a Naval postgraduate school. When couples and their guests set foot on this property, they are able to immerse themselves in traditions that span back through many decades. Notable guests of the club include presidents, military personnel, and noble members of society. The staff at this hotel are dedicated to making events special and unique for all. Hugh Butler, their executive chef, carefully curates each meal to make sure that it meets even the highest standards.

The best venue!!!

We absolutely loved Club del Monte as our reception venue! We were in absolute awe during our tour. It’s such a beautiful venue. Our main contact was Melanie and she was truly a pleasure to work with. She was easy to communicate with and was always available for a chat. She worked with us to ensure our day was the best and it definitely was. Even with our million questions, she went above and beyond to talk to us about each one. We could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding reception. Thank you Melanie and team at Club del Monte!

Everything was great. For future reference, just make sure the venue has your reception beverages in tact. Our guests weren't supposed to be charged for beverages but a few of our guests were. The food was absolutely delicious & the cocktail hour, from what I hear, was very impressive. The Ball Room was incredible & very nice.

We absolutely LOVE doing events at Club Del Monte at the Naval Postgraduate School. There is no finer ballroom on the peninsula with so much history and I just love sharing the history of the venue whenever introducing my couples to the site. Melanie and the rest of the staff at NPS are an absolute pleasure to work with and really understand the TEAM concept of creating an dream event for civilians and dignitaries alike. The food is beyond what most would expect from a military installment with Cordon Bleu trained Chef Hugh Butler at the helm. Overall, one of out favorite places to be on a Saturday night!
