Things To Do
Santa Cruz is a special place to both Alex and Ryan.
Alex grew up visiting Santa Cruz on weekends, and years later her brother Nick and his wife Amber (Maid of Honor and Alex's Best Friend) lived there. Together the trio spent their 20s and early 30s drinking and eating their way through the City.
Ryan spent a short time in Santa Cruz when he toured with a band in his early 20s, and fell in love with the redwoods, the wharf, and the sea lions!
Years later when Alex and Ryan first began dating they connected over their love for Santa Cruz, so it just made sense to get married in the area!
