Although the venue does not provide catering or event rentals, We do have a list of trusted preferred vendors who have years of professional experience. The long list of preferred vendors & caterers that Hakone Estate and Gardens provides range from caterers and florists to entertainment and officiants. Each of our preferred vendors have worked with Hakone Estate and Gardens before and is familiar with the venue’s policies and regulations.

We hosted our October 2023 Wedding Ceremony at Hakone and we were so happy with the beautiful gardens and overall experience. The staff at Hakone (Tony and Melia) were extremely helpful, friendly, and easy to work with and they went above and beyond to make sure our rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly. We requested a unique setup with two aisles and we had a large decoration to attach to an arch we rented through a vendor, and they worked with both us and our vendors to make sure that everything was set up just right with plenty of time to spare. They also helped us work through all the important details of the ceremony without being overwhelming, and they did a perfect job executing on the actual ceremony, queuing our party to walk and managing the music and sound system. The garden itself is beautiful in any season. We visited multiple times throughout the year leading up to our wedding and enjoyed different plants in bloom every time. In October, the garden was still lush and green with redwoods, bamboo, and the Koi pond providing amazing variety. Our guests had a great time strolling through the gardens before and after the ceremony, and there were tons of amazing backdrops for our wedding photos. They even gave us a complimentary year-long membership following our wedding so we could come back to relive the memories! In summary, we highly recommend Hakone whether for a wedding ceremony or just a visit!

1800 El Pomar

5.0

Templeton, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Located in the heart of California’s beautiful Central Coast, our venue offers a classic style barn surrounded by thriving vineyards, setting the stage for an unforgettable wedding day. The rustic elegance of our newly renovated barn, combined with the scenic beauty of the rolling hills and an enchanting ceremony site under oak trees, creates a timeless and romantic atmosphere that is perfect for celebrating your love with family and friends in this captivating California setting.

My wife and I were married at 1800 El Pomar on April 1st. So many of our guests told us that this was one of the most beautiful weddings they’d ever been to, and the number one reason was the setting. A few months after we booked the date we were notified that the property was sold and we’d be dealing with new owners. Boy are we happy that Brit and Amber bought this ranch, because they made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met. So many improvements were made in just the few months leading up to our wedding, and they were always approachable and willing to help us with anything we needed. Brit even picked up extra firewood for us last minute and helped our make-up artist get her flat tire fixed on the big day. It’s a spacious property with plenty of parking and is easily accessible for the guests. The bathrooms are clean and modern, the layout makes perfect sense, and great pictures are super easy with a beautiful backdrop in any direction. We had 10 of us comfortably stay in the farmhouse, where we also hosted a rehearsal dinner for about 30 guests. Everything went smoothly and I can’t recommend using this property enough for a wedding or any event. We are so grateful to Brit and Amber, we could not have dreamed of getting married in a more magical place.

Arrillaga Family Recreation Center

5.0

Menlo Park, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,944

When guests arrive at the redwood-and-glass building, they often gather in its open, airy lobby. Then, if you’re having your ceremony here (and most couples do), your family and friends will be ushered through Craftsman-styled double wooden doors to the serene South Patio. This beautiful, crescent-shaped flagstone space wraps around one entire side of the building and features a Zen-like border of Japanese maples, native plants and graceful oaks. Handcrafted ceramic urns are integrated throughout and serve as artful and calming water features. You can opt to exchange vows in front of those wooden entry doors, or take full advantage of the patio’s pièce de résistance and say “I do” beneath an asymmetrical canvas canopy. There’s ample room for al fresco cocktails on the patio before everyone moves into the Sequoia Room for dinner. This reception area feels quite spacious, with its cathedral ceiling, polished hardwood floors, and two walls of glass

Our wedding was held here. The venue had so much to recommend it and was perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour in the the large patio areas, and dinner and dancing in the Sequoia Room. We had 100 guests, easily accommodated for a seated dinner leaving a roomy dance floor. The great convenience of having on-site ample parking, and easy accessibility was appreciated by our guests. The facility is well designed, modern, and all on one level. There are also some lovely spots for wedding photos taking advantage of the landscaping around the center. Another huge plus was the ability to use the caterer of our choice (Kitchenina) and other vendors. Working with the venue representative, Dashawn W., was a pleasure; she was so efficient, responsive, and helpful, from the day we first toured Arrillaga throughout the whole planning process. The Arrillaga Family Recreation Center was perfect for the wedding - a great venue for a wonderful day!

Surrounded by soaring Sonoma redwoods and ideally situated between the Russian River and the charming nearby town of Guerneville—an outdoor and wine destination. Sleep next to the redwood forest, then wake up with coffee in your private outdoor space. Tucked into a grove of trees that feels secluded but is only a five-minute drive from hiking trails, swimming spots, and Guerneville’s charming main street, it’s the best of every world.

Our guests stayed in AutoCamp for our wedding in Mariposa and we held the rehearsal dinner in the private space in the clubhouse. Everyone at AutoCamp worked to make sure our weekend was exactly what we pictured. We had so much fun and would recommend to everyone!!!!!

Opened in spring of 2001, the Los Altos History Museum resides in an impressive three-level, 8,200-square-foot building – built entirely with private donations; building ownership was transferred to the City of Los Altos in 2002. The Museum features a changing exhibits gallery as well as the permanent exhibit, “Crown of the Peninsula,” that describes the rich history of Los Altos and the surrounding area.

This past year I got to photograph a wedding at Los Altos History Museum. I was excited to work here and it did not disappoint. Los Altos History Museum is a special venue. The first thing that captures your attention is the charming restored house and beautiful garden setting and amazing trees that surround the property. It’s a wedding photographers dream venue. The Staff did a awesome job at executing the couples vision and making their day seamless. A great venue to work with and from my perspective, a great venue to have your dream wedding at!
