  I cannot speak highly enough about the group sales staff at El Cap and my experience holding my weekend wedding here.
  
  The venue only offers weddings on "off-season".. approx Oct.-March, and it's conducted as a destination wedding site, meaning guests are expected to attend and stay onsite for 2 nights. So right off the bat it's probably not the right venue for everyone, but it was exactly what my husband and I were looking for.
  
  The staff was flexible, warm, and happy to be of service in all the ways they could. They were open to suggestions and interested in our input. They were even willing to communicate with family members who were less comfortable/familiar with the weekend-wedding concept.
  
  The food was great, the lodging is lovely, but the canyon itself is just exquisite in it's natural beauty. El Capitan will forever be a dear place in our hearts.

  This is a beautiful wedding venue and my husband and I could not imagine getting married anywhere else! We were able to do much of the decor, etc. by ourselves and really cut down on the price. All of our guests loved the wedding and commented on how great the space was. We were able to have our outdoor wedding with tent reception and terrific bbq cuisine catered by the resort. The cabins are adorable and VERY comfortable.
  
  The one warning I would give is that this venue is only open for weddings for the late fall to early spring (which wasn't a problem for us). El Capitan Canyon sees itself as a spot for destination weddings and expect all of your guests to stay overnight at the resort. The problem was that we were locals, and although we tried our hardest to get our guests to stay at the venue, no all could afford to stay, and it wasn't practical for many guests who were also locals. Although in the end, El Capitan worked with us on this, we felt highly pressured to get more people to stay overnight at the resort. I understand their reasons behind this, but if you're a local couple with lots of SB area guests, be prepared to haggle.
