“Wind and Sea was the most beautiful and special place to get married. The house was very nice, views were incredible, and the staff did a great job. They also had great vendor recommendations that were very familiar with the venue. I would get married here again and again. It was perfect. I hope to come back!”

Big Sur weather varies by season, offering a mix of sunshine, fog, and coastal breezes year-round. Spring brings lush greenery and occasional rain, while summer sees morning fog that burns off by afternoon. Fall is the sunniest and most stable season, and winter offers dramatic ocean views with a chance of rain. No matter the time of year, layering is key for comfort in Big Sur’s ever-changing climate!
