The story
Clifftop Big Sur elopements and intimate ceremonies
Post Ranch Inn was built in 1992 with a single guiding principle: as little visible impact on the Big Sur hillside as possible. The result — cliff houses, tree houses, ocean houses and mountain houses cantilevered and nestled into 1,200-foot bluffs above the Pacific — is now one of the most photographed pieces of architecture on the California coast. What it offers weddings, though, has less to do with architecture and everything to do with scale: ceremonies here are intimate by design, measured in tens rather than hundreds.
The wedding packages are comprehensive and honest. From a two-person elopement on an oceanview cliff to a thirty-five-person Grand Wedding in the redwood forest, each package arrives with an officiant, photographer, marriage licence, flowers, cake and coordination already woven in. Overnight stays are built into the requirement, which means the wedding day is never just one day — it's the beginning of a longer immersion in a landscape that has no equal along the California coast.
