The Cliffs Resort in Shell Beach is one of the few full service wedding locations along our beautiful Central Coast.  Offering both a ballroom option or a tented reception, couples can get married overlooking the great blue Pacific on the lush lawn, while the seasoned staff at The Cliffs, take care of every detail.  It is one of our favorite venues and some of our very favorite brides have gotten married at the Cliffs – well, and I actually spent the first night of my own honeymoon there some years ago.  So it is a little special to me.  One of my favorite aspects about the Cliffs, in addition to the incredible view, is that I always am amazed and appreciative of the team mentality of the service staff.  From the Bellmen to the Busboys, they are all there to do whatever it takes to make both guests and wedding couples completely happy – and the vendors as well.

Giuliana and Eric, breezed in from Northern California Wine Country – and had a really lovely wedding with a stunning reception in the tent on the lawn of the Cliffs.  With gracious wrought iron candelabras and elegant linen, the tent was transformed into a beautiful collaboration of rustic elegance.  For a little extra pizzaz, we customized a beautiful chandelier of fresh flowers, black crystal and golden organza over the dance floor.  Giuliana’s bouquet was classic and elegant with robustly feminine English Garden Roses mixed with pale blush roses.  Simple bouquets of antique hydrangea were carried by the bridesmaids against their midnight dresses.
