    Dream Wedding Come True

    We truly don’t even know where to start regarding feedback! From the moment we began working with Giselle and Bella back in October all the way through our wedding day, we received incredible support, coordination, communication, and an overall wedding planning experience that we will never forget. The two of you made wedding planning better than we ever could have imagined. From the very beginning, you made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and confident that our day was in the best hands possible. Giselle and Bella are so easy to work with and truly go above and beyond for their couples. When our wedding day arrived, the execution was absolutely flawless. Everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests had the time of their lives and received amazing service from the entire Hollins House staff. We have received an incredible number of messages from family and friends commenting on the beautiful property, the outstanding service, and what an amazing wedding it was. A huge part of that is thanks to Giselle, Bella, and the entire team. The Hollins House is truly the best all-in-one wedding venue. They make every step of the process so easy, and in our opinion, it offers the absolute best venue and view in all of Santa Cruz. Beyond the breathtaking setting, the staff is exceptional, the service is top-notch, and the food is absolutely incredible. All of our wedding dreams came true, and we cannot thank the Hollins House team enough. We truly could not imagine getting married anywhere else. They made our day feel effortless, seamless, and unforgettable. If you are considering the Hollins House for your wedding, look no further—you will be in the best hands possible.

    Hollins House Wedding

    Our wedding at Hollins House in Santa Cruz was truly perfect from beginning to end. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and such a warm, elegant atmosphere that made the entire day feel magical. But what really made the experience exceptional was the incredible service and coordination team. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and throughout the entire planning process we felt completely supported, organized, and cared for. On the wedding day itself, everything flowed effortlessly from setup to timing to guest experience, allowing us to fully relax and be present with our family and friends. The staff went above and beyond in every way. They were professional, attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We received countless compliments from guests about how beautiful and well-run everything was. If you’re considering Hollins House for your wedding, we cannot recommend it highly enough. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we’re so grateful to the entire team for giving us a day we’ll never forget.

    So happy we chose Hollins House

    We had such an amazing experience having our wedding at the Hollins House. The event team was extremely responsive and helpful. We had not been to many weddings as guests before hosting our own, and so we were a little lost on all the many things that need to be done and planned for a wedding. However, the Hollins House event team made everything in their power as easy as it could possibly be. Dinner was delicious and they had lots of options for every guest. Apart from everything I just mentioned, the location is beautiful and truly one of a kind. We are so glad we got married here, and if we were to do it again, we would not pick any other venue but Hollins House.

    Hollins House is the best

    We loved having our wedding at Hollins House! From the moment we toured it, we knew it was the place for us. Every angle of the property is stunning in pretty much every weather. The staff is so friendly and easy to work with. The food is amazing, and the recommended vendors (DJ Nick, Florist Erin, & Photographer Ben Ingram) were the best

    Dreamy Wedding Venue

    The Hollins House is truly a dream come true. The venue itself is stunning— you don’t need to do much to make it the perfect setting for a wedding. Giselle and Bella, the event coordinators, were incredible. From our in-person meetings to email correspondence, they were always helpful, attentive, and on top of every detail. On the big day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing because I knew they had it all handled. The food was absolutely delicious and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The chicken and waffle appetizer during the cocktail hour was a huge hit and the ham benedict was equally loved by everyone. Everything was simply beautiful, and I couldn’t have imagined a better wedding experience. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views with exceptional service and cuisine, look no further than Hollins House!
