The Hastings House is located down the street from The Douglas Beach House right on Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay. Have your wedding in the absolutely beautiful coastal garden at the Hastings House and literally you and your guests walk a few steps down the ocean front road (a wonderful stroll in itself) to The Douglas Beach House (or of course choose your reception at another incredible location on the coast.) Linda and Richard run the Hastings House and you could not ask for a better team. Linda is experienced, extremely detailed, organized and a wonderful person who will attend to your every detail. Her husband Richard is a very well known guitarist who may be available for your wedding as well. Linda is also a fabulous photographer. If you are looking for a garden setting, this is the place!

I've worked at Hastings House as an officiant for at least 30 weddings and it's one of my favorite locations to work with. Their garden is beautiful and well maintained; their service to bridal couples is personalized and professional; their location across from the Pacific Ocean makes for a great backdrop for the ceremony.

As a wedding photographer for 30 years, I have covered many venues in the Bay Area, most particularly the Half Moon Bay Coastside. Without a doubt, at the top of my list is Hastings House. I know all the secret corners of the garden and always come away with unique and beautiful images! The garden is magnificent, all planned by Linda, who does a fantastic job of making it thrive. Her magic and colorful garden, along with the ocean in front of Hastings House (yes - they have it all) provides the ideal setting for weddings. To go along with the beautiful scenery, Linda's accomplished husband, Richard Patterson will play his guitar for you, perfect accompaniment music for your special day. Richard has entertained audiences around world and is an absolute master. I'm always pleased with the photos that I shoot at Hastings House; when the venue looks that good, so do I.
