In 1987 I was employed by The Pebble Beach Corporation to open The Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, California as a Catering Conference Services Manager. Clients traveled from all over the world to experience this breathtaking resort, and would want to get married in this amazing destination resort. I was eager to accommodate their many requests, and as a non-denominational ordained minister, I am able to Officiate legally binding marriages.
