“For our 140 person, somewhat diy wedding, this place worked really well. They were accommodating about all my questions and for additional set up time and there were no surprises when it came to pay. HOWEVER there are important things to note w this venue- first is that they decorate heavily for their xmas market starting just before thanksgiving. Second is that they can sometimes be a little all over the place with who to talk to which for us resulted in being double booked for our original Nov date- we paid our deposit, booked a dream photographer, and were about to send save-the-dates when they contacted me that they made a mistake. In the end, we got a very good date in Oct and they made it right thru discounts and paying me the difference of what id lost from the photographer not being able to make the new date. Third thing is i was under the impression when i booked that we would have a coordinator from the venue on the day-of and that is not the case. Many of the staff are helpful but there is not a designated person for running your day outside of the table/linen set up and f&b. Last thing- their office phone system is not great, i always struggled w extensions and had to have their front desk transfer me to their Special Events staff, its small but when youre stressed planning it got to me. Overall, i would recommend them to folks who like a little kitsch, a little cottagecore, and a mostly inclusive experience.”

Spreafico is a working cattle ranch that the family have put so much care & time into turning a little piece of it into a beautiful venue.

“Without a doubt, Hotel Cerro is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding. My fiancé and I decided to plan our wedding to coordinate with our anniversary month and didn’t take into consideration that it was…3 months away. Haha! However, Hotel Cerro and their event planning manager, Jessica, made the experience as stress free as possible. The ceremony space is located on their second floor terrace. You are welcomed by a lush wall of greenery and glass paneling that gives you a view of the beautiful fig trees on the first floor. Across the terrace, is a full length glass wall that opens into the dining area where we had our reception. The space is intimate and inviting with exposed brick walls and windows that look down onto Garsden St. When touring the venue, Jessica was warm, friendly and easy to talk to which instantly took away some the nerves of the planning process. She took the extra time to get a feel for what we wanted for our wedding and offered suggestions of what we could do with the space. The fact that we didn’t have anything planned and a short timeline didn’t seem to phase her at all! She made it obvious that although we didn’t have a lot of time, she was going to keep us on track and get everything planned with us in time. During the tour we saw that the hotel also has an upper level pool area, “Fig Veranda” and an edible garden which are all perfect areas to do wedding photos. Each area has a different feeling to it and it added variety to our photos without having to go all over town. Plus, we had so much fun running around the hotel with our photographer the day of! Throughout the planning process, Jessica was responsive and made sure to keep me updated on due dates and what the next steps were for the planning process. If I had any questions (and I had a lot haha!), she made sure to get me whatever answers I needed quickly and offered multiple options if there were any. Their preferred flower vendor delivered us beautiful arrangements and set them up before the wedding which allowed us to focus on getting ready. They also had our personal flowers delivered to our room and sent photos of the table set up as a “sneak peek”! We stayed at Hotel Cerro for the weekend of our wedding and was pleasantly surprised by how luxurious our loft room was. It had more than enough space for our friends to visit while we got ready and took us about 5 seconds to get to the ceremony area. The staff was very welcoming and seemed to be just as excited as we were that we were having our wedding there! The wedding day was everything that we could have dreamed of and more. The ceremony space was set up on time which allowed us to put out decorations, the floor plan and day of time line was followed exactly how we had planned and the reception dinner was delicious! The staff was also extremely friendly and attentive to everyone during the event. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Cerro if you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue. With the help of Jessica, the planning and execution of our wedding day went as smoothly as one could have hoped for and allowed us to truly enjoy our special day without additional worries!”

Rochelle was so great to work with! She answered all my questions and concerns promptly and with professionalism. The team really stepped up as the person who was going to set up for us canceled the morning of, so Rochelle took charge and had the team assist putting decor up. Our reception went perfectly. The weather even cooperated and we were able to sit outside on the patio as planned. We cannot wait to visit again for brunch!

“From the moment we saw Higuera Ranch, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding day - elevated, inviting and naturally stunning. And in the midst of the natural beauty of the well-maintained property, a huge bonus of hosting our wedding here was working with Kristin. She leads with a kindness and passion that is present in every interaction, even the electronic ones, and we feel extremely lucky that she and Higuera Ranch are forever a part of our wedding story. Being able to host our closest friends and families on the property and working with Kristin and her team to customize our wedding layout on-site made for an ideal planning process. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful the property was and we feel so lucky that we spent our special day here. We’ll always remember our ceremony by the fig tree, our dinner on the lawn and our couple photos up in the beautiful foothills. And now, as we move into our marriage, we get to carry the beautiful memories we made at Higuera Ranch and the love and joy that gathered together in celebration there. Kristin and the team at Higuera Ranch went above and beyond for our family in ways we couldn’t have imagined and they, not just the property, have a special place in our hearts. We feel honored to be a part of their Ranch Family.”

“The 1880 Union Hotel is a truly exceptional wedding venue. Their communication style is personable, tailored, and efficient - they make you feel welcomed and valued throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and the value they provide is simply exquisite. They have a unique and beautiful approach, always going above and beyond to customize the experience for each couple. For example, they accommodated our request to have the rental load-in at 8am the day before, even though it was outside their normal schedule. There were also no unexpected fees, and the chef even came in early to monitor the process. This team clearly prioritizes ease and reducing stress for the couple, which is not the case everywhere. In another case, when the linens weren't picked up from the rental company and I, as the planner, was already home from the wedding, being days later -- they handled before I even know, but they took these large linen duffel bags into UPS without hesitation. The team as a whole understands hospitality and how important it is to keep things calm, cool, and collected - they've mastered that. Additionally, the customization of the menu was fantastic. During our tasting, we had one-on-one time with the chef to discuss our preferences, dislikes, and dream wishes for the cuisine - and they made it all happen seamlessly. We highly recommend the 1880 Union Hotel for their personable service, exquisite quality, and commitment to making your wedding day truly special.”

The transformation of this landmark establishment from the remodel, landscape, menu design and layout focus on the simple and time-tested philosophy of world-class materials and attention to detail in every aspect. The culmination of this is a masterfully reimagined establishment with nuanced flavors and old-world techniques. Our covered patio and inside tavern area are both open, with limited seating for both so reservations are recommended.

“From the moment we first toured The Buellhouse at Zaca Creek, we were blown away by the warmth and kindness of the staff. Chelsea and her team were incredibly friendly, open, and caring throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue itself is simply gorgeous - classic, timeless, and beautifully maintained. We already loved Zaca Creek after a special previous stay, but this made it 10x as special. Chelsea was hands-on, going above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. The event went off without a hitch and we couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding at this stunning, one-of-a-kind venue. We are forever grateful to the entire Buellhouse team for making our special day so incredibly memorable.”

“We had such a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter’s wedding at Whispering Rose Ranch. What we loved most was that every part of the property felt a little different, but the whole day still flowed so naturally from one space to the next. The landscaping was beautiful and gave us an amazing backdrop for photos everywhere we turned. The ceremony overlooking the valley was probably the biggest “wow” moment for our guests. So many people commented on the view and how special it felt to be there. It was just a really beautiful place to bring everyone together for such an important day, and we’ll always have such happy memories of celebrating there.”

“We recently had the most magical wedding at The Genevieve in Santa Ynez, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Our ceremony took place in the enchanting garden, surrounded by lush greenery and the sweet scent of flowers. The setting was absolutely idyllic, and our guests were in awe of the beauty that surrounded us. Pam Roberts was an absolute dream to work with. Her kindness and warmth made the entire planning process seamless, and her flexibility ensured that every detail was perfect from beginning to end. Pam's genuine soul truly shines through, and we couldn't imagine anyone better to oversee our dream venue. Following the ceremony, we enjoyed a delightful happy hour on the Lawn, where our guests mingled and enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres. The atmosphere was lively and joyful, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. For dinner, we moved to the private and intimate Coach Room, where the ambiance was cozy and romantic. The venue's character added a unique touch to our celebration, making it truly unforgettable. And let's talk about the food - it was absolutely divine! Nothing like any wedding meal we've had before. The culinary team at The Genevieve surpassed expectations. Not only is The Genevieve a fabulous and unique venue, but the entire experience was elevated by the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by the staff. From the premium beverage service to the spacious lawn with firepits, every aspect of our wedding was flawlessly executed. We also opted for a wedding experience, turning The Genevieve into our own private paradise for the weekend. The luxurious accommodations and amenities provided the perfect backdrop for pre-wedding pampering and post-reception relaxation. Overall, our wedding at The Genevieve exceeded all of our expectations. If you're looking for a wedding location on the Central Coast that combines luxury, sophistication, and garden glam, look no further than The Genevieve. We can't recommend it highly enough!”
