Seymour Center La Feliz Room Enjoy spectacular bluff-top views from the protected comfort of the La Feliz and from the wide open spaces of the outdoor terrace. From Natural Bridges to Cypress Point, the unobstructed white water and open water vistas are a testimony to the natural beauty of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. As you look eastward to the coastal mountains a clear view of the coastal terraces opens before you. The private bluff-top deck frames an up-close view of the surrounding coastal prairie and wetlands rich with hawks, ducks, egrets, and red-winged blackbirds. Step outside for the sound of the surf. The La Feliz is the perfect setting for weddings, social gatherings, meetings, memorial tributes, workshops, conferences, and lectures. It includes state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment and a service kitchen suitable for catered events. Exhibit Hall The exhibit hall may also be reserved for your group during hours the center is closed. The hall contains three spacious interconnected oceanview rooms with a private deck on the ocean bluff. The exhibit hall offers a unique experience for larger social gatherings, banquets, and receptions. Your guests may wander through the exhibits at their leisure, and interpretive programs may be arranged for an additional charge. The premiere experience at the Seymour Center includes the entire public area of the Seymour Center with access to both ocean bluff decks.
