My fiance (now husband) and I had a wonderful experience with Villa San Juliette! We hosted a wedding reception here and had our ceremony off-site. Our guests were raving about how beautiful the location is and the high quality of service. In terms of value for the money, we paid $8500 for 5hrs of time. We would have liked to have 7hrs for the price instead. Especially considering that most people do their ceremony and reception at VSJ, I think 5hrs is a little short. With that being said, I am overall very happy with my experience and Roxan (VSJ coordinator) was extremely helpful, professional, and accommodating. We would highly recommend this venue to other couples looking for something elevated and classy for their wedding.

Calipaso is an incredible wedding venue. The property is stunning and so well maintained. It is perfect for a multi day wedding where you’d like to stay with your close family before and after the ceremony. Ruth, Casey, and the rest of the team treated us like family and worked tirelessly to help us have the wedding of our dreams. The food was amazing at every meal.

Truly the most gorgeous place to have our wedding! The scenery is just divine and the people coordinating and working the venue were the most amazing energy. My wedding went so smooth and on time because of Jaclyn and her team. Their family, warm welcome, and the venue just takes your breathe away. Would highly recommend any event with Gerry Ranch. If I could do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same! THE BEST!!

We can't thank the staff at Zaca Mesa staff enough for making our wedding day everything we had dreamed of and more! The venue is stunning, the wine is delicious and the staff are outstanding. From our initial wedding inquiry to the day-of, we immediately felt welcome and knew we were in good hands. Pricing is clear and transparent, the list of furniture for use during an event is extensive, and communication with venue staff is excellent. Zaca Mesa went above and beyond to help make our dream wedding come to life. A special thank you to Tara and Jake for all of their help and planning expertise over the last year!

Firstly, we cannot recommend Anna enough—who is the wedding planner for Ella’s Vineyard. She was the single most crucial partner in planning our wedding day! Anna was instrumental in every aspect, particularly with her hiring recommendations. Every vendor she suggested was exceptional, which speaks volumes about her professional network and flawless taste. Thanks to Anna, the entire day ran with absolute perfection and ease. She went up to us on the day and informed us of each part of the day and what was coming next. It was super great that we didn’t have to worry about what we were doing. She handled all the logistics so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment. Ella’s Vineyard had our guests are still talking about how much they loved the space. The flow of the wedding—starting with the serene ceremony on the beautiful lawn and transitioning into the incredibly romantic and beautiful reception—was seamless and magical. Anna’s planning ensured the atmosphere we dreamed of came to life. If you want a planning experience where your day runs truly smoothly and your vendor selections are guaranteed to be top-tier, you need Anna. She delivered a flawless, unforgettable event at this beautiful venue.

We had THE best wedding weekend at Villa de Lucca 7/20/24. The Villa, the views, the sanctuary and all of the details Zenia & Jon have put into it to make it so special. It is truly such a unique and beautiful place to get married. We loved that we were able to have our rehearsal dinner at the Villa the night before. And the convenience of having the ceremony, reception & after party all just steps away from each other. We felt that it made such a busy/hectic weekend so much more intimate. We had guests from all over the world attend & I can’t even count how many times we got asked “How did you find this place?” My husband had not seen the venue in person until we arrived for the weekend, & he was overwhelmed with how beautiful it actually was. Zenia is amazing. She is very responsive and so kind. She really loves and embraces nature, which gives Villa de Lucca such warm and positive vibes. It is also such a neutral venue, so you can really make it whatever you want. I did tropical flowers which looked absolutely beautiful in the sanctuary. For recommendations, I suggest renting a lot of umbrellas, as the sun can be intense. It also gets very windy, so just keep this in mind when planning your signage, decorations etc. We ended up not being able to use our centerpieces because the wind was blowing over the vases. Villa de Lucca gave us an unforgettable wedding weekend. I would 1000% recommend to anyone. We are already thinking about when we can go back for another celebration!

Stunning property that allows you to have your entire day at one location - welcome area, ceremony area and a reception area all surrounding a beautiful pond. This private venue allowed us a lot more flexibility to plan the wedding we wanted. Staff was professional and responsive. We and our guests had the best experience.

My husband and I got married here last summer, and it was beautiful! The venue is so picturesque, and Chelsea had great recommendations for local vendors as well. It was the perfect celebration!

When my fiancé and I decided to have a small wedding, we knew the SB Courthouse would be the perfect place for us. Once that was set, we began researching where to host our reception. We met with several venues, but after meeting the Brass Bear team, the decision was easy. From our very first conversation with Emily, we were greeted with genuine kindness and warmth, it felt like talking to a friend. The private dining space was perfect for hosting our 60 family members and friends. After touring the venue, they offered us a sample of the dinner, and we were sold. We left feeling absolutely elated. What we truly loved about Brass Bear was how accommodating and attentive they were. We especially want to highlight Emily, she responded to every email and made us feel supported and reassured every step of the way. It was a completely stress-free experience. Food, drinks, tables, and chairs were all included, and they coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and day-of team. On our wedding day, our guests raved about the food and drinks; everyone left well fed and happy. They also loved the wallpaper in the dining room and restrooms, which added a unique touch. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with this team! Our biggest thanks to the staff, bartenders, and chefs—thank you for making our wedding so memorable and fun!

Greengate was an amazing place for our wedding weekend! We got married in 2023 and I fell in love with the venue after first touring it. The property is stunning! Jena and her team were wonderful and were so helpful. We held our rehearsal, ceremony, reception, after party, and send off brunch at the property. Even though everything was on site, each location was unique. We did a the rehearsal and after party at the ranch house, held the ceremony on the pond, and did dinner and dancing at the barn! The girls got ready in the bridal suite, which was so fun. Staying on the property with our family and friends was really special, and made the whole weekend easy! This is truly one of the nicest venues on the central coast! If you are looking for a classic California vineyard vibe, this is your spot.
