My husband and I got married on April 9, 2022 - We’re both from the Bay Area, but I was born and raised in Modesto, CA. I felt a deep desire to get married somewhere close to my roots/my family and really wanted to showcase some of Modesto’s charming aspects to my outside guests and future in-laws. Choosing The Century was a no brainer - it was my first and only choice for a wedding venue. The venue is in the heart of downtown, in a beautiful historic building tucked away, and in walking distance from the DoubleTree hotel which was convenient to lodge traveling guests. The all inclusive service was another main selling point. This made my wedding planning as stress free as possible knowing all my vendors were a one stop shop and were in coordination of one another. Just showing up the day off with no worries or concerns was a real blessing! Big shoutout to our wedding coordinator Tatiana Lopez!!! She really is a professional and was a pleasure to work with. Multiple guests kept complimenting us on how smooth everything went the day of, and the wedding party was very pleased with their experience/interactions/directions with her as well. The Century and their vendors really took our vision and brought it to life. I wouldn’t change a thing regarding how it all turned out which is why I recommend 10/10 booking with The Century for your big day! Book with them! You won’t regret it :)

When my partner and I were looking for the perfect venue for our wedding we looked no further than the Chabot Space and Science Center (CSSC). The team at the CSSC were amazing! They worked closely with us helping to plan the wedding ceremony and reception of our dreams. They are kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. We looked at a lot of venues in our search for the "right" place that was not only beautiful but also affordable. CSSC is affordable compared to many in the Bay Area offering indoor and outdoor event spaces and really cool package options that fit nicely within our budget. We I can't say enough good things about them. We had a small wedding group or 35 guests and I was worried that we would get lost in the museum. The team understood my desire to have an intimate ceremony and reception and they made it happen. They understand the space and how to make the most of it. Although we had planned well in advance, we had to make last minute changes and the team made the changes without drama and upset! I was so calm and happy on my big day thanks to the team making everything work smoothly. Every couple wants their special day to be amazing for family and friends. We all want our guests to have a wonderful time at our wedding. My partner and I had the wedding of our dreams at Chabot Space and Science Center and our guests are still talking about the unique, fun and educational experience they enjoyed!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were looking for a beautiful outdoor location for our intimate wedding and were so glad we found Secret Garden Ceremonies. We booked the estate and the retreat and both locations are absolutely spectacular. We had our ceremony in the redwood grove and dinner reception on the estate lawn and Tiffani and her team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was executed beautifully. Our guests were in awe of how amazing the venue, retreat, ceremony, and entire experience was. Throughout the entire process, Tiffani provided us with great guidance and support, answered all our questions, and always gave honest and transparent input and feedback. We aren’t local to the Santa Cruz area and Tiffani had amazing recommendations for catering, floral, photography, local restaurants, and places for our guests to stay. Tiffani was also our officiant and worked with us to create a ceremony that fit our personalities perfectly and was exactly what we envisioned. The beauty and tranquility of the retreat really helped to set the stage for our entire wedding weekend. This beautiful cabin nestled in the redwoods provided the perfect lodging accommodations for ourselves and our wedding party; the bedrooms and living spaces were clean, comfortable, and spacious; and we so appreciated how Tiffani went above and beyond with all the little touches of home to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. To kick off the weekend, we hosted a welcome dinner on the outdoor deck under the redwoods for all our wedding guests. The Retreat was also a beautiful and bright getting ready space for our bridal party and one of the many redwood groves on the property provided an absolutely stunning backdrop for our first look and pre-ceremony photos. A huge thank you to Tiffani and her team for making our dream wedding a reality and for creating such an amazing experience for us and our family and friends. We can't recommend Secret Garden Ceremonies enough!

My wife and I toured one venue (The Camp at Carmel Valley) and once we did, we knew it was our spot. What an amazing experience from beginning to end. David, the camp director, was extremely professional yet personable throughout the entire process. The Camp itself is also a dream location. Stunning views, warm atmosphere, and a totally zen experience. Our guests really enjoyed staying on-site and the accommodations are unique, comfortable, and amazing! David helped ensure that all our vendors had easy communication and setup, and connected us with awesome vendors as well. We were able to totally customize our experience and make it very "us". We visited The Camp this year on our anniversary, and the amazing memories of our wedding day came flooding back. Our guests still talk about our wedding, and I have no doubt that The Camp played a huge role in our memorable experience!

Riggers Loft is situated on the edge of the San Francisco Bay. It is urban chic with high loft ceilings and wooden trusses that invite further decoration.

The inside space is 7000 square feet with a footprint that is malleable, and is easily and beautifully delineated by racks of wine barrels. Outside is a 5000 square foot patio overlooking the bay. Many lovely ceremonies have taken place there with sailboats drifting by, and seagulls and sea lions making their entrances as well.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm reviewing Riggers Loft as a wedding venue, as I recently had my wedding here. The venue is spectacular: the views are incredible, the building has the perfect warehouse vibe, and there is an active Osprey nest nearby that adds to the overall allure of the place. Ships, both big and small, float by, reminding you that even though this is part of an old WW2 facility, the nearby port is still very active. My partner and I interacted with Barbara, one of the owners, to plan our wedding. Barbara was always kind, professional, responsive, and totally accommodating of our requests. Thanks to Barbara and Riggers Loft staff, our wedding went even better than we imagined. If you like the feel of this place as a wedding venue, they'll work with you to make your dream wedding become reality. Such an amazing place! Also--our guests loved the wine!

Mavericks House

5.0

Half Moon Bay, CA
  • Up to 140 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Couples seeking a stunning oceanfront setting for their big day will fall in love with Mavericks House. With indoor and outdoor celebration space above a beautiful, protected cove, this venue is the perfect spot for a romantic wedding by the sea. Embraced by a grove of trees and overlooking the Pacific, our ceremony garden can accommodate seating for up to 140 guests with views of the ocean, sailboats and marine life. Our spacious ballroom, lined with windows facing the sea, leads to an outdoor deck offering a picturesque backdrop for all your wedding memories. Our experienced event team is dedicated to making sure your big day turns out exactly as you've dreamed.

Our experience with Mavericks House was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was effortless, with easy contact via email and their event portal. Brittani, our main contact, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, ensuring that we were always up-to-date on deadlines, payments, and required documentation/forms. The venue's payment schedule and pricing structure were transparent and easy to understand, and the payment portal made transactions simple and convenient. The portal also let us refer to current and past documents at any time, making planning much easier. One of the highlights of our experience was the delicious food and drinks provided by the venue. The menu we chose offered a variety of options, including 3 cocktail hour appetizers, starter salad, 3 different mains, 2 sides, a churro bar, wine list, beer list, and His/Hers signature cocktails. The tasting process to choose our menu and drink list was not only enjoyable but also helped us customize our selections to our preferences. During the tasting, we also chose tablecloth/napkin colors, table configurations, and many other details for our wedding. They also took into consideration our guests with sensitive food allergies. We needed accommodations for gluten free, nut free, and shellfish free guests. Our guests with these allergies said the staff were very helpful and provided food they could enjoy. One thing that truly set this venue apart was their accommodation for guests who didn't drink. They allowed us to have two His/Hers signature cocktails and a mocktail, ensuring that everyone had a special drink option. Additionally, they provided Martinelli sparkling cider in addition to champagne for our toast, catering to our non-drinking guests. Throughout our wedding day, the staff provided full support and assistance when necessary, including helping us set up our DIY decor/centerpieces. Whenever we wanted to get more drinks from the bar, a staff member made us feel special by getting our drinks quickly, making us feel like the VIPs of our event! Since we were busy taking photos during our cocktail hour, at dinner, the staff provided us with a sampler plate of the appetizers we missed during cocktail hour, which was very thoughtful! At the end of the night, clean up was a breeze as the staff quickly and efficiently helped us clean up well before our 11pm cut-off time. Overall, our experience with Mavericks House was wonderful, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a picturesque venue that offers great food, drinks, and exceptional service.
