Our Wedding Day was truely a dream come true thanks to the team at Montara. The venue has the most magnifenct views, that allowed our photographer to capture amazing photos. Montara had everything we needed, including marquee, seating, beautiful lights. The cocktail bar bus, made a unique setting and the staff did an outstanding job in looking after our guests and keeping the place beautiful and clean all night. From the moment we inquired about having our wedding at Montara, the team have been so helpful. Naomi really took all the stress out of wedding planning and went above and beyond to make sure our day went not only to plan but even better than we imagined. We Highly recommend Montara!
