Wedding menu - the C restaurant + bar

Experience Timeless Coastal Beauty,
Style and Sophistication
Only the best will do ...
Best wishes on your upcoming special day, and
thank you for your interest in InterContinental
The Clement Monterey as your wedding
destination. Our spectacular ocean front
hotel is situated right in the heart of historic
Cannery Row and on the Monterey Bay, where
mesmerizing ocean views, bay breezes and
coastal scenery will captivate your soul and
enchant your guests. Wedding ceremonies are
staged on an expansive courtyard facing the
sapphire-blue waters of the bay. Couples say
their vows against this stunning azure backdrop,
enlivened by marine life such as frolicking sea
otters, harbor seals and sea lions.
To enhance enjoyment of this picturesque setting,
your social hour can take place in the inspiring
ocean air as well. While the wedding party is
posing for pictures, guests can enjoy the hotel’s
boardwalk and pier, which extends out over the
bay. Cut-outs on the boardwalk reveal tantalizing
peeks down into the tidal zone and the teeming
underwater world of the Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary.

the backup space must be determined three (3) hours prior to ceremony start time and once finalized, may not be
changed.
5. Do you have a list of preferred wedding professionals and are we required to choose from it?
We offer our list of preferred vendors for your convenience. If you select a vendor not on our list, they must provide a
valid business license and liability insurance at least one (1) month prior to the event date. If they have not worked on
property, they must schedule a meeting with the Catering Manager no later than one (1) month before the event date

contact information no less than 1 month prior to the event date.

wedding cuisine.
7. How much time do we have to set up?
We allow a two (2) hour set up time prior to the guest arrival time.

2 choices of tray passed hors d’oeuvres, 1 salad, 2 entrées (1 entrée per person) and a non-alcoholic beverage. Tastings

running smoothly. After your Catering Manager departs, your Banquet Manager or Captain will oversee the remainder
of your event.
11. Are there any other events on property on the day of my wedding?
Our property has several event spaces and may host more than one event at a time. Careful consideration is given to
staggering times for events so that guests from one event do not disrupt another.

The wedding couple will receive a complimentary one night stay in a beautiful ocean-view room on the night of their

We have a $25++ per bottle wine corkage fee. All other outside beverages, including beer and liquor, are not

Your guaranteed guest count is the number of guests you provide to your catering manager. Our kitchen will prepare
food according to the guarantee. This number cannot be reduced. Any increases within twenty-four (24) hours of the

guarantee, whichever is greater.
