Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

The Best Western Shore Cliff Lodge is in a dream of location, perched
90 feet above the bright blue Pacific in Pismo Beach on the popular
destination wedding region, the Central California Coast. This is a
famous location too. Ashley Chaves, of the Shore Cliff’s parent
company, Martin Resorts explains, “We were featured on KCOY television
channel as the “Wedding Day Give Away” site in 2005 and 2006.”
There are several wedding sites you’ll love at the Shore Cliff
including two most charming gazebos, either of which will provide a
stunning backdrop for your wedding and your wedding photos.

One of the
gazebos is located on lush green grassy point jutting out toward the
sea, at the top of the cliff. This site is on a 90-foot and boasts a
panoramic ocean views which creates a stunning backdrop for your guests
as they watch you exchange your vows. At this location, brides can make
a grand and dramatic entrance to their ceremony from the hotel lobby.
Couples have told us that if you are looking for a more intimate setting, the second gazebo may be the one for you. This gazebo is situated on the beautifully manicured South Lawn and lends itself to the more private ceremony.
Just as beautifully as Shore Cliff wedding professionals handle your wedding ceremony, they’ll provide unparalleled service in planning your wedding reception too. The Oceanview Banquet Room features floor-to-ceiling glass windows which offer you a unique combination of the beauty of panoramic coastline views while you dine on world-class cuisine. The Banquet Room is surrounded by an accessible patio for your gusts enjoyment.
Many custom-designed wedding packages are available for up to 220 guests, and the wedding planners at the Shore Cliff will be more than pleased to assist you in creating a very personalized wedding.
Please ask them to assist you in planning the rest of your wedding weekend too, (and what about a Shore Cliff honeymoon too?) You’ll especially want to ask about the newly remodeled Deluxe Suites, each with two bedrooms, sitting room, and kitchenette. All of the resort accommodations feature ocean views and spectacular sunsets from private balconies overlooking Pismo Beach.
Other amenities include the very popular Pelican Point Restaurant. One of the reasons dinning at the Pelican Point has be come practically an institution with the locals is the restaurant’s 180-degree ocean view, the ideal setting for a private, romantic rendezvous for just the two of you, and also for the entire wedding party. The second reason for Pelican Point’s popularity is, of course, the state-of-the art cuisine. And while you’re dinning, with the menu including the freshest of seafood and most sumptuous steaks, and sipping on the finest wines, don’t forget to take a look outside. With such a view, you may see the wild pelicans in flight, a passing school of playful dolphins or spouting whales.
You and your guests will also enjoy strolling the grounds along the ocean front; taking a dip in the area's largest heated pool, glass-enclosed with sun deck and Jacuzzi; and visiting the Fitness Room and Spa.
And speaking of the Shore Cliff Lodge’s spa services, we’ve heard that brides and grooms have vowed that they simply couldn’t think of getting married without first treating themselves and their bridal party to a trip to the spa! Popular pre-ceremony treatments include the relaxing Seaside Journey or Warm Basalt Stone body massage; the peaceful Sea Side Honey Scrub or Vanilla & Neroli body treatments, or, the real Pièce de résistance, the Ocean Indulgence and Seaside Escape Spa Packages.
Ashley says “We love working with couples and vendors to ensure that their wedding day will be as smooth and as least stressful as possible. We enjoy making our clients’ wedding day a day they will always remember.”
You’ll want to call the Pismo Beach Best Western Shore Cliff Lodge right away to reserve this most breathtaking and romantic location for your California Central Coast wedding.
(Here’s a special tip some couples have told our YWD staff: be sure to get your complimentary to-die-for Shore Cliff Lodge homemade cookies at check-in!)

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy. Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner

#11 QUICK FIX
Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS! Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home. Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”
