There aren't enough positive things to say about our experience getting married at the Intercontinental. Perfect venue, staff, accommodations, food. The list goes on. There really is nothing negative we can say about our wedding day at the IC. The catering manager, Hayle Leontieff, was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable about the venue and always responsive to our questions. She made it easy to complete our final BEO and determine the best way to utilize our money. We were never worried about how our vision would be executed. She was instrumental in helping our wedding planner make our dream come to life. We couldn't think of a more perfect venue for us to have our wedding. We also can't emphasize enough how beautiful the location is. The layout of the IC was perfect for us personally since we could have the ceremony and reception in the same place! It was effortless. We purchased a wedding package that included the honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding. It cam... Read moree with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Very thoughtful and a great way to end our night. All of our guests raved about what a beautiful venue it was and what a great night they had. We can thank the hotel itself and the staff for that. It's hard to beat a beautiful venue by the ocean. Guests had the option of sitting down at tables in the reception ballroom, mingle in the pre-function area by the bar outside of the ballroom, or go right outside to the patio where the ceremony was held and enjoy the scenery/weather. Having that sort of versatility for our guests was great, and it's important to know that not all venues have it. Considering the IC provided all of these options to make our guests happy really shows how great a venue it is. You can expect getting your "bang for your buck" as some like to say. Money well spent. We can't wait to see our pictures to relive our perfect day. Thank you to the IC for everything!!

Hayle Leontieff was great and thoroughly communicated with us about all of the preparations. She was very friendly and kind to my family and me and was open to all of our additional requests! The hotel itself was in great shape and the view of the water was gorgeous. The staff during our meal was very organized, responsive, and courteous and the food was delicious!

I worked with Hayle to plan my wedding here. She was awesome to work with! She was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. She helped me create a perfect wedding for my small group of 13. The library room was the perfect space for my intimate wedding dinner/reception. They took care of all the set up/ break down. The servers were great as well! It was the perfect space and service for a wedding! Plus the hotel is just gorgeous.

The Intercontinental is an amazing venue with an absolutely exceptional staff! Hayle Leontieff spent about a year providing such amazing guidance and assistance. Her involvement in our wedding planning was invaluable and the services provided through the Finishing Touches packaged gave us such piece of mind on the big day. Between the venue space, meal options, and location, the Intercontinental is one of the absolute best options for weddings on the Central Coast.

My husband and I can not rave about the Intercontinental The Clement more. Our wedding was everything we hoped and dreamed it would be and that was all thanks to Hayle, Arlely and their teams. Hayle and Arely went above and beyond the call of duty not only for me but also for our family and friends. From the very beginning, Hayle was insanely easy to work with. Not only did she answer every question I had (and I had a lot) but she made sure to make herself available on all of my last minute pop ins with my in laws, parents, friends, and more. She was the key component to making sure our day went smoothly. She took on all responsibilites and set up the wedding using her own lense and it was PERFECT. She took my vision and her lense for the property and designed the perfect space for our reception and honeslty there was nothing that I would have changed. She is unbelievable sweet and helped with EVERYTHING and always had a smile on her face. We cant wait to come and celebrate our weddin... Read moreg for years to come back at the intercontinental and highly recommend this space to anyone who wants the perfect day, with the perfect view and the most amazing team to work with. Thank you, Hayle and Arely for making our wedding day the absolute best day of our life. We are so thankful and appreciative of your hard work and welcoming us with open arms!

All the staff made our wedding and planning to so smoothly and all of our guests had a great time.

We fell in love with IC Clement as soon as we walked in - I still can't believe we are having our wedding here! Shelly really sealed the deal as far as finalizing our decision - she is incredibly professional and responsive - a dream to work with! We went back for a formal menu tasting and tour of the specific room we will have, and everything was great - I can't wait for our big day!

My husband and I chose the Intercontinental Clement as our wedding venue simply because of the genuine hospitality and warmth felt from the staff in our planning stages. We are from Chicago and being from out of town it was important to us that we could work with a staff who could carry out our vision on our special day, without consistently flying back and forth. Shelly Rodriguez, Hayle Leontieff and those who worked alongside of them exceeded our expectations and helped to make our special day perfect. Especially being out of town, it was nice to not have to worry about little details because we knew we were in great hands. I would certainly recommend to any couple near or far to consider this venue!

Shelly (sales manager and onsite coordinator) has been a big help! very responsive to emails, and flexible with our requests. We've been quite lazy, only visited once for menu tasting and still had a beautiful wedding. A few tips: 1) there was minor mistake for the final payment due to human error, doesn't hurt to double check 2) on wedding day, on site help was a little bit late as we were trying to set up the arch and chairs before their regular time (noon). stay calm and trust Shelly. Overall, we are very happy with our wedding venue choice! Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Cara to plan and execute our reception. We enjoyed the venue so much, we even hosted my bridal shower there. After the wedding and bridal shower, we received very positive feedback from family and friends regarding the food, venue and gorgeous views! We couldn’t be happier with our wedding and loved having it at the Intercontinental!

I had a great experience working with Cara and her team at the Intercontinental. I felt comfortable and confident having them coordinate my wedding details at the hotel. I would highly recommend this beautiful venue.

Cara did amazing jobs, She is super friendly and did make sure our wedding went smooth. She also really responsive and help us clarify if we have any doubt. I'm super lucky to have her help me!

We loved working with Shelly and the preferred vendors that we chose. They were amazing, helpful, and our day was absolute perfection. Shelly became like my sister during the planning process. We would not have had a better wedding any place else. Recommended. Thank you Shelly and to all of our vendors. Our day was SO magical!

IC was the perfect venue for our wedding earlier this year. The staff went above and beyond! We had made a trip out to Monterey to look at a different venue nearby (we were given a disappointing 15min tour after driving 2.5 hours), and decided to make the most out of our trip. We searched for other venues in the area and showed up at IC without an appointment, hoping to get some information and take a look around. As we were reading over the wedding packages in the courtyard (the same one we would later get married in), we were approached by Shelly Rodriguez, the catering manager at the time. She had some free time and chatted with us for over 1 hour - going through their wedding packages, giving us a mini tour, and answering all of our questions. My now husband has always wanted to get married by the water and we were pretty much sold when we saw the amazing view, but the stellar service really made us fall in love with IC. IC was very accommodating and patient with all of ... Read morethe things we wanted to incorporate in our wedding: -We went back and forth on the wedding date but never felt pressured/rushed to make a decision and IC drafted up multiple contracts for us -We were able to use many of the venue's equipment without an additional fee (i.e. heat lamps, fire pits, variety of sofas/cocktail tables inside the ballroom, dance floor, arch) -We had both our ceremony and reception outdoors to maximize the beautiful weather and view (the staff was able to flip the courtyard space in 1.5hours for 180 guests) -Highly recommend the finishing touches package: the staff helped us set up many of our DIY items (candy bar, name cards, table numbers, candles, foliage for reception tables, guest book, blankets for guests to stay warm, etc.) About 3 months before the wedding, IC had some changes in staff and Hayle Leontieff became our new catering manager/onsite coordinator. While it was scary to have someone else take over in the middle of planning, both Shelly and Hayle did everything they could to ensure the transition was smooth. Hayle was new at IC but was vigilant in making sure she got us the answers to our questions in a timely manner. Additionally, everything that had been previously agreed upon with Shelly was honored and we never felt like there were any interruptions in the service and care we received. There are not enough words to describe how amazing Shelly, Hayle, and the staff at IC are. Everyone made sure we had what we needed to make our wedding day as special and amazing as we had planned it to be and our guests felt welcomed and cared for. Weddings are expensive but we definitely felt like we got our money's worth! (Photo credit: Kristine Herman Photography)
