Wedding & Receptions

Imagine an enchanted Northern California Coast Wedding. Standing with your beloved under the gingerbread roof of the gazebo with the Pacific Ocean spreading out to the horizon beyond is an unforgettable setting for that most special moment. Who wouldn’t want to be married here on the Mendocino Coast? It’s soulful, very romantic. You take away with you a gift that lasts the rest of your life.

This California Coast bed and breakfast is ideally suited to intimate elopement weddings. There are two options:

  1. Elk Cove Inn can handle all the details of your special day – officiate, photographer, champagne, cake, flowers. (See packages below.)
  2. Or, if you choose to take care of your own arrangements, you may pay a site fee and we will provide you a list of local Mendocino Coast service providers. A two-night minimum stay is required; we prefer that you book the entire inn if you have more than 20 people but we are flexible and will work with you to insure that your special day is as perfect as possible. Ceremonies can include up to 40 people.

Welcome to Elk Cove Inn … since 1968

It’s all yours. One of the most spectacular views on the Mendocino coast. Nestled in peaceful seclusion atop a bluff overlooking a mile of dramatic beachfront, the Elk Cove Inn’s Craftsman-style Mansion was built in 1883 by the L.E. White Lumber Co. as the Mill Superintendent’s home. It became one of the first bed & breakfast inns on the Mendocino Coast in 1968. The inn is set back from the road, surrounded by native trees, a creek and the ocean, with private stairs to the driftwood-strewn beach below.

Watch migrating whales and otters at play just steps from your room or from the inn’s signature gazebo. Or descend the inn’s private stairs to stroll on the beach. Relax in the hands of the North Coast’s finest, professional therapists at our European-style Day Spa. Day or night, there is simply no better spot to relax and reconnect. Local shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Historic Mendocino village, fabulous Anderson Valley wineries, lighthouses and dramatic redwood forests are just a short drive away.

THE ELK COAST is comprised of four coastal hamlets: North Greenwood, Elk and Manchester. Adding to its splendor is the Stornetta Lands National Monument, 25 minutes south of Elk Cove Inn.
