Charming and beautiful, yet great value

Dallidet Adobe & Gardens was the most perfect charming location for our early April wedding! Unlike most wedding venues, you can find that pricing here is very transparent and realistic. Working with Stacey during the booking process was a breeze. She's incredibly kind, helpful, and went the extra mile to answer all our questions (even sending videos since we're not local). We felt so comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. And the venue itself? Absolutely stunning! The gardens were in full bloom, and our ceremony at the Rose Garden under the wisteria arch was magical. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the charming grounds, and you can tell the staff takes immense pride in their work. Plus, the bridal suite was such a beautiful, naturally lit spot for photos. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Stacey and team!

Karen, the garden director, is so sweet and helpful. She answered my e-mails within about a day. She even helped with some of our last minute changes and was an absolute lifesaver. (Thanks Karen!)

The long tables, large round tables, cocktail tables, chairs, speakers and even cute "bridal barn" are included with rental cost. The bridal barn is a cabana just the perfect size for a small wedding parting to change in.

The garden was lush and green, and absolutely gorgeous in our photos. Table runners & centerpieces were the only decorations needed. We had a Sunday wedding and it was such a perfect, less expensive option for our small, intimate wedding.

We had our wedding at the Dallidet in September and are so glad we did! It's such a gem in downtown San Luis Obispo- so many locals haven't even heard of it. The house itself is chock full of artifacts and history, then there are the grounds with separate patios and even a cute bridal barn to get ready in. In September the gardens are so lush and lovely with just a touch of fall color.

Karen, the event manager is so friendly and is really willing to go above and beyond to help make your day a success. She met with us several times so we could look through the venue or ask questions. I also really like that the rental fee goes back to the historical society

Our wedding was so memorable to many of our guests- both we and they were so pleased with how everything came together. It was almost magical.

Everything was perfect! The setting could not have been better. All the pictures turned out great and so many great options of picture locations. Karen was easy to communicate with and very helpful in helping me with my special request. Loved having the bridal barn and an all around vintage time at the wedding. Also was happy that money spent on the venue goes back to the history center of slo. Highly recommend this venue.

Made for an unforgettable evening. Takes you to another space and time. Gorgeous garden with breathtaking scenery. Karen the event coordinator form the Dallidet made sure we had every thing set into place to make sure every thing went smoothly. My honey and I celebrated 10 years of marriage with and anniversary party at The Dallidet Adobe and Gardens. Five stars in all categories! I would recommend to any one.

This was an amazing, yet affordable location for our wedding. It was small, but the garden is so beautiful. They had some limitations on sound, but they were no problem for our acoustic trio. My wife and I really enjoyed having our wedding here.

If you want to offer your guests a unique experience in SLO, have your wedding at The Dallidet Adobe. It's downtown, a historical site, home of the first commercial winery in the County, and you can have the adobe museum open for tours for your guests during your event. It's incredibly affordable for a wedding venue in this area ($2900) and gorgeous. You'll save on decorating because the gardens surround you and are very beautifully maintained. We simply did orchids from Trader Joe's on our dining tables, and it was fabulous. This site includes all of the dining tables, chairs, cocktail tables, free parking for guests, a stage, a dance floor, kitchen (no stove or oven), etc. The staff is flexible with vendors you choose too. The biggest restrictions are that your DJ has to use the Dallidet sound system (city noise ordinance laws), your guest list is capped at 150, and you must be out of the site by 9:00 pm. None of these were a problem for us. My husband and I have been in SLO for three years and plan on staying here. At Dallidet, we were so happy to have the ability to provide a true reflection of our town for guests and share why we love SLO.

Absolutely phenomenal- couldn't have asked for anything more. Karen from the Dallidet, Brooke, Popolo Catering, Kramer Events, Marshall Gardens, Inktree Photography worked seamlessly!!!!! Props to everyone! I highly recommend this location for any DIY bride-to-be! It's truly a hidden gem of the central coast.

Best day of my life! From start (first checked out the venue in January of 2012) to finish (October 27...the big day!) everything about the Dallidet was a dream.

The gardens/Adobe are an amazing backdrop for a wedding. They are so lush and seem so private, it's hard to believe that the Dallidet is just a few blocks from downtown SLO. Every time I visited the venue leading up to the big day, something new was in bloom. We were able to keep our decorations minimal, we just played up the natural decor. There are so many little nooks and useable spaces, it was lots of fun for our guests to explore. You can arrange to have tours of the Adobe given, our history buff friends and family members really got a kick out of that.

There are three larger spaces that could be used for ceremony/reception/bar area and countless small spaces for exploration and relaxation. There is a kitchen prep space for the caterer and two nice bathrooms. The site has lots of tables (of all different sizes and shapes) and chairs that are included in the rental.

The event coordinator for the Dallidet, Richard, was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. There were some days when I was sending him multiple emails, as I thought of new questions. He was always quick and friendly with his responses. He was willing to meet a bunch times with me and the caterers to troubleshoot and try things out. The day-of, he helped the caterers and my day-of coordinator to keep things on schedule and running smoothly.

I can not recommend the Dallidet enough!
