Winter Wedding

My daughter wanted an outdoor wedding in January. The Pavilion was a great option as it has indoor and outdoor space which gave us an option in case of bad weather. Patti was so cheerful and helpful, answering all our questions and being very flexible with different ideas. The main room was so bright and beautiful, even on a cold winter day.

Pavilion Coordinator and Venue are the BEST!

Our entire wedding was to be on family property. Due to logistical challenges and inflation we decided to have our ceremony on private property and the reception at the Pavilion on the Lake. From our first interaction with Patti, the Pavilion Coordinator I knew we had made the right choice. Patti was so friendly, accommodating to any ask we had, just an absolute pleasure to work with. The Pavilion is very clean, incredible views of the park and lake and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for guests to roam. The kitchen is a fantastic work space for the caterers, tables and chairs are included and the price to rent the Pavilion is one of the most reasonably places on the Central Coast.

Beautiful, flexible wedding venue!

My brother booked this venue for his wedding. The process of booking and using the venue could not have been any EASIER. The contract was short and in common language. They provided referrals to preferred vendors. Communication was clear, concise and timely. And the view and facility itself is just beautiful. They have specific requirements, but they're clearly spelled out in the contract, and the staff are THE most professional and attentive of any venue I have used (I cater weddings when I'm not a guest).

I CANNOT recommend this venue and it's staff highly enough!
