Avéline Wedding

Avéline is the wedding destination. The Eidsmore family share the opportunity to celebrate such a wonderful and joyous occasion at Avéline. The location is breathtaking with the surrounding red woods of Scotts Valley and the Santa Cruz ocean at the horizon. The garden blooms and the greenery gives a natural tone that makes this a dream destination wedding. We were honored to be hosted by Marion, Tom and the Eidsmore family to celebrate our wedding. Their professionalism goes above and beyond, we felt welcomed from the moment we stepped foot to checkout the venue. They handle requests with courtesy and make the wedding process feel so at ease. We were privileged with the Eidsmore’s hospitality, it was the cherry on top of the already perfect venue. There are multiple locations that can be used within the venue, our wedding was held in the back garden that looks onto the ocean and horizon. The front garden is also vast and suitable for a ceremony or pictures with family and friends. Parking was more than sufficient. The property itself matches with the beautiful garden and surroundings. Sunset casts onto the balcony giving incredible golden hour photos. Everything about Avéline makes sense for setting up a wedding when it comes to working with vendors, setting up layouts, choosing photoshoot locations, etc. It is an artistic rendition of a venue for the dream wedding you deserve. Everyone appreciated the beauty that is Avéline during our wedding. At the end of our wedding, we left Avéline not as a location, but as a remembrance of our happiest day forever hallmarked in our hearts. To that we are forever grateful to the Eidsmore family for sharing Avéline for what once was a beautiful venue for their family but now open to all.

An absolute delight!

We had our daughters wedding a few weeks ago here ! It was such a fabulous experience working with the Eidsmore family ! They are the most gracious and supportive people ! The venue is beyond beautiful with different areas for the ceremony and reception! It is most breathtakingly beautiful once you get there ! We have had a great event! Tom and Marion went beyond and above the call of duty to make things right as there were some last minute glitches due to our planner for which we are so grateful to them ! If you want a beautiful outdoor venue Aveline is definitely it ! Thank you to the wonderful team there !

Gardens + Ocean Views + Redwoods: A Dream Venue!

Avéline is a dream wedding venue! I wanted a garden wedding and this place went above and beyond in meeting that expectation! The gardens are spectacular, but you also have the sparking ocean and majestic CA redwoods as the background! I did not want the typical wedding venue, that people have experienced many times, I wanted something more natural and personal. Avéline offers a perfect blend of seclusion and privacy while still being incredibly picturesque and inviting. Our out-of-town guests couldn’t stop raving about the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains and how special it felt to experience such a unique setting. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is unique and beautiful, Avéline is the perfect choice. It’s an unforgettable place!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
