unparalleled events
From weddings to celebrations of life and conferences, we have what you need to host an unforgettable event.
Treat your loved ones and colleagues with breathtaking views and the smell of fresh ocean mist. Tucked away on the bluffs of the idyllic Monterey Bay, the Seymour Center is the perfect venue for your next event.
When you rent our space, you are supporting our education programs and the thousands of children that come through our doors every year.
Lasting memories start here
The whole venue was dynamic and provided so many different spaces that entertained different guests. As far as the staff, they were great to work with!
La Feliz Room
Our main event room boasts ocean views out of every window and wood herringbone floors that draw your eye to the beauty of the Pacific.
With an attached private terrace, audio / visual equipment and free admission to the Seymour Center included in the rental, this space is functional enough for a work retreat and beautiful enough for your high end luncheon.

Exhibit Hall & Shipwreck Deck
Once we close to the public, rent our three spacious, interconnected ocean-view rooms for your own night at the museum extravaganza.
Showcasing ocean research and marine conservation efforts, the Exhibit Hall features an aquarium that brings your guests face to face with the creatures of the Monterey Bay. Wander outside to Shipwreck Deck—a private, ocean bluff deck with sweeping views of Monterey Bay.
This was an absolutely beautiful venue, right on the Monterey Bay. Our guests loved the interactive nature of the venue with the touch tank and museum part of the venue. There was also great event room with a gorgeous view and an outdoor patio.
Want your guests to experience the Monterey Bay first hand? Request volunteer docents to be stationed at our seawater touchtable for an experience your guests won’t stop talking about.
