Casitas Estate

We are so excited to welcome you to the beautiful Central California Edna Valley at the Casitas Estates Venue. This part of California is a central part of the Long family and we've spend many weekends up there hiking, wine tasting, and exploring the coastal towns. EVENT PARKING & SHUTTLES 3:00-3:45pm shuttles for all guests will pick up from Strother Park (just down the street from the venue). The shuttles will run between the park and venue to drop off guests. Too many drinks? You are welcome to leave your car overnight. If you plan to Uber, please do it to Strother Park to catch the shuttle as there is not room for Uber in addition to the shuttle(s) on the narrow drive. ***PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE VENUE*** Strother Park (Please note: Google maps is incorrect. Below is the correct address.) 1150 Huasna Rd. Arroyo Grande, CA

How We Met

We met at a tech startup networking event. We were both working in the tech space at the time and after our paths kept crossing at networking and educational events we finally went for a date. 4 years later I'd say we're pretty grateful for that crazy stage in our lives to bring us together!

The Proposal

It was Thanksgiving weekend and Sam had already planned out the engagement with Kristen's family. They were up in Pismo and Thursday night, Kristen suggested a hike the next morning. This wasn't according to plan but Sam had anticipated this and went along with it. Kristen tried to rally the family to join the hike the next day but only Christoper (her brother) and Qimei (her sister in law) joined. As they approached the end point of the Big Falls hike hike Kristen sat down to drink some water and Sam surprised her and took a knee!
