We got married on 5/20/23 at Kennolyn's Stone Creek Village and if we could live the weekend over and over again we could. Our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams! Everything far exceeded our expectations. We met through working at a summer camp so when we came across Camp Kennolyn we knew we had to check it out. We fell in love immediately when we toured the venue. The grounds are breathtaking. There's nothing like the redwoods and you are surrounded by them at Kennolyn. The ceremony space is magical! The staff, especially Elyse & Dierdra, were helpful every step of the way, always patiently answering our many questions. I wish I could thank every single person who worked the weekend of our wedding because they were all incredible, friendly, and helped make sure the weekend went off without a hitch. The "all-inclusive" nature made planning a breeze, we did not have to worry about DJ, catering, lighting, bartenders, or renting tables/tablecloths/plates/silverware, etc. Absolutely everything was perfect!

The guest experience is so special and we got a lot of compliments from our guests. We had 85 people staying on-site over the wedding weekend and every single person has talked about how much fun they had and how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. The cabins were cozy and it was so fun to have all our friends and family with us all weekend. Aside from the wedding, there are so many activities available for guests including tennis courts, a pool, basketball, corn hole, volleyball, and more! Additionally, Kennolyn provides a TON of the equipment for said activities at no extra cost.

We also received compliments on the food! The food was great all weekend! My cousin, who happens to be a chef, commented that it was some of the best rehearsal dinner food he had ever had. Guests had many compliments on the wedding reception meal. They have options for late-night bites which I highly recommend. The Mac & Cheese bar is to die for!

I also love how they took care of myself and my husband and our bridal party before the wedding. They set the groomsmen up with beverages in the museum and delivered champagne and lunch to the bridesmaids.

Kennolyn's Stone Creek Village is a magical place. There truly is something special about it and the people who work there. I hope someday I can go back as a guest!

I wholeheartedly recommend Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda! I was married on 5/20/23 with the Spring Promo package, and I was so happy with the experience.

The venue is gorgeous, and it was the perfect place for my outdoor wedding. There is a redwood grove or great lawn facing distant views of the Pacific Ocean that are both beautiful options for a ceremony. The patio facing the lawn is perfect for dinner, and the indoor courtyard is stunning and great for cocktails and dancing. We didn't use the Hacienda itself much except for guests who wanted to sit by the fire (it's a good backup plan for inclement weather). The bridal house is amazing and accommodates many people for getting ready (multiple rooms and bathrooms, living/dining areas, with a gorgeous patio with the same amazing views out to the ocean). There is also a separate Casita with a bathroom for the groom's party to get ready. There are so many beautiful natural and architectural places for photographs as well. The landscaping is beautiful, so you don't need to spend money on many extra florals. Weddings have exclusive use of the venue, which makes it really private and intimate.

The Spring Promo deal was a great value and included buffet catering/cake/dessert, alcohol package, DJ/MC, tables/chairs/etc, ceremony arbor, some florals (it was enough given the landscaping), taxes/tips. The deal is for 100 guests, and when my group ended up being half of that, Andrea (Events Manager) was so kind and tried to give us more value for the money: double the variety of passed appetizers than was initially included in the package and adding orchids (my favorite flower) to the florals. The all-inclusive nature of the package was so amazing for not having to worry about each of these things individually.

Since the catering was included and food was very important to us, I was initially nervous to sign the contract before tasting the food. My family and I were so happy on our Tasting Day when the food was excellent, and everything we tried was delicious (and I think we have pretty high standards for food)! They were also so accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences. Since our package was a served buffet, the vegetarian/vegans were given their own plates separately. The cake and assorted dessert were also delicious (and they were willing to make a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting as we requested).

The DJ/MC (Courtney Helms) was assigned from Sound in Motion, and we got along great. He did a wonderful job too - I danced the whole night! He was also very accommodating with including French music that we compiled (my husband is French).

Finally, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Andrea (Event Manager), Elyse (Wedding Coordinator), and the entire staff! I did not have a wedding planner, and they filled the job beautifully. I was so impressed with their communication. They responded promptly and warmly to every email, line-by-line, answering all my questions for months! They were so supportive and patient, and they seemed as invested as I was in having a wonderful wedding day and making everyone happy and comfortable. I am forever grateful to them and to Kennolyn for such a magical day!

We had a fantastic 3 day wedding event at Stone Creek Village, beautifully set in the redwoods with a very reasonably priced package of accommodation and food for our 75 guests. The staff were all very helpful and flexible and did everything to help everything run smoothly for us.
