You know how every Hallmark Christmas movie with a gay theme seems to star Jonathan Bennett? Well, we both felt like Jonathan Bennett in my own Hallmark movie - of course, during the summer, but you get the idea - during our recent wedding at Cambria Pines Lodge. You really have to go there to experience it - the grounds feel like a Hallmark movie in all the best ways - warm, inviting, joyful, and somehow familiar. If you want the true "Christmas in June" experience, just head on over to the garden, crafts, and Christmas store just off the property that's open year-round. We're looking forward to heading up for their Christmas market in the fall - we hear it's incredible. You have to trust me on this one - the whole place is really special. From the moment we first spoke with Judy, Michelle, and the team, they were incredibly supportive, flexible and friendly in helping us plan our dream wedding. The venue itself is charming, warm and inviting, creating such a welcoming atmosphere for our guests. They worked with us to stretch our budget across all the events, Ramiro and the banquet team accommodating our complicated beverage, gift bag, AV, and decor requests, mostly with ease. Most importantly, the Cambria Pines Lodge team took great care of our families and friends, ensuring everyone felt at home throughout our special weekend. We are so grateful for their incredible service and highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a truly memorable wedding experience.

They really did a wonderful job with our brunch reception! We picked Granada mainly for the unique look of the space and it was a great price for the brunch option. 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!
