The opportunities here are near endless for creative couples who wish to wed in nature.

Our wedding and reception at Sydalyn Hills was incredible!

My husband and I started looking around March of 2024 for venues to get married in the same year. We live near Sydalyn Hill and knew it was a venue, but had never been and weren’t sure about availability. So, I set up a visit with Gwyn and discovered what an amazing property it is. And even better - they had availability in August! We had about 5 months to pull together a ~125 person wedding, and it went absolutely perfectly. Gwyn and Jonathon were super supportive, allowing us to visit several times, promptly answering questions, and being open to our ideas. We were required to use a wedding planner, and it was a huge help, making things come together way better than I could have done on my own. The views, facilities, and activities were incredible, and riding up to the ceremony in the old truck seemed to really surprise and delight our guests. Several folks said to me afterwards this was the most beautiful wedding they’ve been to. I would whole heartedly recommend Sydalyn Hill to anyone looking for a venue in the Santa Cruz Mountains; it was a beautiful, magical, extraordinary day for us.

The Perfect Venue!

Sydalyn Hill was the best decision we made for our wedding! The venue is more than just a beautifully scenic place, it's filled with all of the love and passion that Gwyn and her family have put into it. From the moment we stepped on the property and saw the gorgeous view and met Gwyn we knew it would be our venue. Gwyn was our rock throughout the entire process keeping us updated, on track and not missing a single step. She and her families creativity and passion is in every detail of the property from the heated floors in the home to the garden that blooms year round.

The result was the most magical day of our lives. Everything was taken care of ahead of time so on the day of the wedding we were able to just relax, authentically share our vows with our loved ones and have a ton of fun dancing under the trees. Even when there were last minute pivots, Gwyn and her family were so patient and grounding amongst the wedding chaos. So needless to say we are so so grateful to have found this magical venue with Gwyn and her family who make it so special. We'll definitely be back to visit and stay on the wonderful property in the future. I hope you are as lucky as we were to book this amazing venue!

The most magical wedding weekend

Sydalyn Hill was the perfect place for our dream wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Gwyn, Johnathan, and their family were so wonderful to work with! Gwyn was so helpful, guiding us through every step and making our day extraordinary. She met with us numerous times to go over details, went with us to pick rentals, and was so quick to respond when I had questions. Everything was very well organized, and the weekend ran so smoothly. 
The value of what was included in our venue fee was incredible. I felt like we were genuinely valued as clients, and Gwyn always had our best interests top of mind. Nothing about this felt transactional. When we got engaged, we went back and forth on eloping or having the full wedding, and this venue made me so much more confident in our choice to invest in having the big day. 
The property is absolutely stunning. The garden was in full bloom, which worked out so well for my wildflower wedding vision. My husband and I grew up in the San Lorenzo Valley, so getting married there with that incredible view was so special for us. There is no detail spared at Sydalyn Hill, and I can tell the property is only going to become more beautiful over the years. My guests were raving about the venue and had so much fun exploring the grounds. Jonathan even gave some of my guests a tour and shared the property's history- They loved it!! The space feels so big, yet intimate, and is such a great canvas to pull together your dream wedding. 
I felt having the house on the property was such a game-changer for the bridal party. I had my bridesmaids sleep over the night before, and it was so special to have that time together. The early hair and makeup time was easy since everyone was already there. Having all of our things on-site was convenient, and we loved being able to stay the night after the wedding. The house itself is so beautiful, and you never want to leave! We're already planning to return for future anniversaries.
I am highly recommending Sydalyn Hill to literally everyone I know. It made our day overflow with love and unforgettable memories! We will be forever grateful to have had our wedding here. 
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
