Best Day Ever!

I don't even know where to start! From touring the venue and Susie and Paul (venue owners) greeting us with so much kindness, to Elaine (venue manager) answering every question we had and I mean EVERY question whether it was early in the morning or late at night...It was such a blessing.

Elaine was on it with setting up and helping direct traffic with our coordinator - making the day so seamless. She was understanding of our needs and requests as well.

Our closest friends said "you guys definitely won the prettiest venue by far". Guests could not get over the views! I will relive this day in my head forever. Thank you so much SCFR!

A magical venue!

We had an incredible elopement at See Canyon. The whole place was beautiful and had such a lovely, peaceful and happy vibe. Although we planned things at the very last minute, they were flexible and helped us make our event work just the way we hoped. Our time at See Canyon was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful and great communication

The venue at See Canyon Fruit Ranch is absolutely georgous, and we felt so lucky to be able to have our wedding there. Our friends and family were saying it was the prettiest venue they had been to for a wedding. The weather was great too, not too hot (was in August). Only thing that was tricky was walking up and down the "green hill" a few times for a couple of our older guests who moved slowly and have had mobility issues.

Elaine also served as our coordinator and she helped to steer us in the right direction, provide feedback, and was very prompt with her communication. Day of she took things over and absolutely nailed it.

Beautiful Venue

This is one of the most gorgeous venues I've ever visited. Feels like a family backyard, but large enough to fit your whole extended family and then some. Staff is friendly and generous. Services must be brought in, but that also allows for customization and flexibility. It was a very special experience overall.

A hidden Gem

What a pleasant surprise, tucked in a quiet little canyon only minutes from the ocean. It felt lush and tropical yet so peaceful and private. I enjoyed all of my encounters with the owners Paul and Susie. The fact that they are willing to share their beautiful property with others is a blessing. Thank you Paul and Susie. Then there’s Elaine McCann, their onsite wedding coordinator, she was incredible! So sweet and so very helpful. She implemented every detail of our special day to perfection. From the night of the rehearsal until the last song played she took care of everything so that we could just enjoy the wedding. Elaine, we will never forget you!

Absolutely beautiful

My family has been vacationing and visiting see canyon fruit ranch for many years. It was always a dream to be married here and it definitely lived up to the expectation. Absolutely beautiful venue and great customer service. If you get a coordinator through them, I highly recommend Elaine! She helped our day run absolutely smoothly!

Wonderful Venue with Amazing People

We knew as soon as we stepped out of our car nearly 3 years ago that this was the perfect spot to host our family and friends. Paul and the Kenny family were the most accommodating and welcoming hosts and made communication and replanning due to COVID an absolute breeze. The venue is stunning and secluded in the best way with the SOFTEST lawn I've ever set foot on. We took advantage of the amazing orchards and gifted apples and pears to our guests as our wedding fell in the middle of the harvest. Lastly, if you have the wonderful opportunity to work with Elaine, take it. She made all of our wedding visions come to life and did it with a smile and the most positive attitude even when life threw us curve balls up until the last day. We adore her and hope we can work with her again in the future.

Elaine mccann is amazing

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the wedding coordinator, Elaine McCann, did an absolutely amazing job! I am not a party planner, it is not something I enjoy nor is it something I'm good at, so planning a wedding was a very daunting task for me. Once I booked the vendors, Elaine coordinated with them and helped me plan my special day. When family and vendors had questions, instead of stressing me out, Elaine funneled the questions through her, which was a HUGE help. I know some friends and family can become a rowdy bunch, but she handled them like a pro on the day of. There were also a few wildcards, but Elaine was very flexible and eased my stress tenfold. The result was a truly magical day.

Beautiful setting for outdoor wedding

We were so grateful for the staff at See Canyon Fruit Ranch. Everything from planning ahead, touring the grounds, meeting with Elaine the wedding coordinator, preparing and decorating the venue, to the beautiful wedding and reception was PERFECT! The sunken Garden was the perfect setting, and with birds chirping pleasantly throughout the ceremony we felt we were in a fairy tale!
We used the upper area for appetizers while the staff transformed the lower garden into the reception area. Haute Skillet was our caterer, and Farmermaid Flowers did the bride's bouquet and provided all the flowers. We highly recommend this venue and staff for the wonderful setting and service!

Grateful & blessed to have been married at See Canyon

We were so blessed to be married at See Canyon Fruit Ranch last August. The journey to that day was fraught with challenges due to COVID-19 restrictions, however, Johnny Kenny and the wonderful team at SCFR worked with us every step of the way.

When wedding receptions were banned and we knew we couldn’t have our big celebration at See Canyon, we debated whether to scrap doing our ceremony there too. We are so thankful we didn’t. See Canyon is an ethereal, serene place that spoke to my husband and me the moment we set foot on the grounds. It feels a little like Hawaii but also like the Eastern Sierra and very much like San Luis County. Being married under that stunning arch was a dream come true and our guests were blown away by the beautiful, lush setting. I will always treasure looking out from where I stood during the ceremony at our small collection of loved ones, beneath the cathedral of trees that encircle the property.

We are so grateful Johnny and the Kennys were willing to work with us and come to a compromise on pricing and services when we ultimately decided to hold a small post-ceremony gathering at a private residence instead of at See Canyon. This venue has a decades-long, stellar reputation in SLO County and we did not want to risk tarnishing that by having a disallowed event. Thank goodness the First Amendment protects wedding ceremonies!

If you are on the fence about having a wedding during COVID-19 but love the idea of being married at See Canyon, please at least have a conversation with Johnny and the Kennys about what is possible. If you move forward with booking SCFR, I know you have a gorgeous wedding ceremony and a fantastic experience. Thank you to the Kennys for making our dream day a reality.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
