The perfect venue on a budget!!
Going into our wedding we didn’t want to spend to much but we also wanted a venue that we would be happy with. The Historic Santa Maria Inn was perfect for what we wanted both in budget and in what we wanted it to look like. The ceremony area is beautiful, especially with the fountain! And the garden area was perfect for the reception. Everything looked very nice! The team they have is also very nice and very helpful through the whole process. Malinda, our wedding coordinator was fantastic! Helped very much with final touches and also the day off! We are happy that we chose this as our wedding venue!

My wedding at The Historic Santa Maria Inn was amazing. From the time I booked until the end of my wedding Lauren did an amazing job taking care of me and helping me to create the perfect wedding day. We did all of our wedding outside in the garden and patio areas and the weather in September was absolutely perfect. We did a late afternoon ceremony followed by dinner in the courtyard and for dinner chose to do a Mexican buffet which was delicious. Definitely would recommend this venue!

If you are looking for a place to get married on the central coast, look no further. The Santa Maria Inn was a beautiful location for our wedding. Lauren and her team went above and beyond for everything we needed during the planning stages, the decorating stages and the day of coordination. Lauren is extremely organized and has a very friendly and encouraging attitude. If you want something, she will get it done for you! The entire hotel staff was so gracious and made everyone's stay so special. There were some changes that we made on the day of, and Lauren and her team took them graciously and gave us the best day ever. You will not be disappointed if you book your wedding here. The prices are phenomenal and include much more than your average venue. The food was delicious and we heard nothing but compliments from guests all evening. It really is a beautiful place to get married surrounded by all of the history, if you are unsure of this venue like we were at first, Lauren will put all of those insecurities to rest. I cannot say enough positive things about this venue and staff, it truly was the best day of our lives.

I am so happy we had our wedding at the Santa Maria Inn. Lauren is an absolute doll and was really a true superhero! She helped so much and made our wedding day (and rehearsal!) absolutely perfect. The ceremony was outside in the garden patio and was beautiful. I did not need much decoration because it was already beautiful outside. The reception was in the Santa Maria Room, and it did need a little dazzling up to make it look less like a conference room, but it was doable and looked fantastic. Everyone commented on how rustic and beautiful the Inn was. The food was also delicious and no complaints were made. Yes, I (as the bride) actually got to eat, because Lauren made sure a plate was already at my table when my groom and I sat down. Lauren made sure I didn't have to worry about anything the day of and was so great to work with. I definitely recommend this venue and will probably use it again in the future for birthdays and baby showers! After the ceremony we were able to go to the Taproom/Bar area for an "after party" which everyone loved. Everyone had an amazing time and it was definitely worth it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
