Jeanne Sent on 12/31/2024Ocean views and gorgeous property - phenomenal place and people!
Words really can't describe just how highly we recommend Green Oaks Creek Farm. We had an unforgettable time planning and hosting our wedding at this magical place.
If you have the opportunity to host an event at this venue, you will surely walk away, as we did after our wedding, in complete awe of the property, owners & staff, and experience overall.
The owners, Stephanie and Paul, are extremely responsive and accommodating, and invited us to visit GOCF whenever we needed leading up to our wedding to coordinate with other vendors. They were so pleasant to work with from the moment we first emailed to the moment we hugged goodbye!
The space:
The property is breathtaking, with several different terraces that have their own unique spaces and vibes. From the upper terrace where we held our ceremony, you can look over the pacific ocean while shaded by tall eucalyptus trees. In the garden, you can relax on the grass and meander through the lovingly curated garden beds. A short stroll bordered by garden beds (which were bursting with dahlias at the time of our wedding in October) and you'll arrive at the reception area which is open, well-manicured, and also gives priceless views of the ocean, the surrounding meadows, and flower beds.
GOCF also offers rental of numerous dwellings on the property. We took advantage of a package that included all three rentals for 2 nights. They were very clean, stylish, and stocked with everything you may need for a special weekend.
Other awesome GOCF offerings:
The owners clearly love and meticulously care for the land here. In the garden and in the reception area there are very large (and very stunning) live-edge bar tables made from reclaimed wood from the property. The reception area also has many smaller live-edge reclaimed wood cocktail tables.
The hosts also provided as many wood benches as we needed for the ceremony space. It was awesome that we didn't need to rent seating for the ceremony space!
The reception area also has a beautiful stone dance floor, an awesome fire pit which Stephanie and Paul provided wood for AND lit for us both the night before and night of our wedding. Edison string lights are hung all throughout the reception area and the walkways throughout the property are well lit.
There is also a kitchen space in the reception area that was easily accessible to our caterers and was available for us to use the night before our wedding to host our rehearsal dinner.
Being a working flower farm, we also highly recommend purchasing flowers directly from the farm! It was so cool to have flowers in our bouquets and vases that had been picked just steps away. Their prices are very reasonable and they had a fantastic variety.
GOCF provided for us our dream quintessential coastal California wedding. Go check it out and you’ll see why it’s so, so uniquely special.

Julia Sent on 11/29/2024Beautiful venue, friendly owners, and views for days!
We had such an amazing experience working with Stephanie and the whole Green Oaks Creek crew! From the very beginning, communication was very clear, professional and friendly. It was a quick process from our first conversation to when we locked in our date, because we knew immediately after visiting the farm that it was our dream venue. We spent about 3 hours when we first visited the site chatting with Stephanie and seeing all the amazing areas the farm has to offer. We hung out with their farm kitties too, that was a bonus for sure! They allowed us to come back and visit multiple times before our wedding, which really helped create our vision. We were able to bring our own outside vendors and built our ideal dream wedding. Their referred vendor list was super helpful as well. We utilized the beautiful flowers they grow on site for our wedding, and Kade who helped organize our flower order was amazing. They grow the most magnificent dahlias and made our bouquets and center pieces so special. They had the flowers prepped and ready for us to build our own center pieces the day before. Kade also built our ceremony arbor, and it was better than we could have imagined!
Finding a space that allowed some of our guests to camp on property, that we could have for the whole weekend and provided so much variety in the space was the key in throwing the best wedding. Our guests loved the different areas and being able to really immerse in the space. Stephanie was always accessible the weekend of and always there if we needed any assistance. She made the entire process seamless and easy, and gave us the autonomy with the space that we loved. We very much intend to come back to visit and have our anniversary party there in the future. This is truly a hidden gem that showcases this beautiful coastal area, and we’re thankful to have found it! -

Bethan Sent on 07/28/2024The best place to get married!
We feel very fortunate to have found and got married at Green Oaks Creek Farm. The farm is located on the Pacific coast between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay, on a short drive up off the road from Pie Ranch. The venue is private and receives a considerable amount of sunshine as compared to further up in the Bay Area.
The owners, Stephanie and Paul, are lovely people who were supportive and quick to respond to any questions that came up. We visited a handful of times in the lead-up to the wedding and they were always welcoming.
On the day, everything seamlessly transitioned on-site from final prep in the cabins, onto the ceremony, then into the cocktail garden just behind it and finally the guests made their way across the farm to reception for dinner and dancing. The owners put up fairy lights for us, which added to the ambiance of the beautiful setting. The reception area includes a dance floor and fire pit.
We were able to customize our vendors and used the following to round out the day - DJ Mark Maiden - DJ services Vibes - bar and shuttle services Orens - food service Hellstrom photography - photos Companion bakeshop - cake and bread Luxury Mobile Restrooms - toilets Events by the bay - day of coordination Ben Marks films - videographer (international) Florals - DIY
Ultimately we could not have dreamed of a better day and highly recommend Green Oaks Creek Farm to anyone looking for a relaxed, outdoor wedding! -

Best wedding venue ever.
I would highly recommend getting married here because the location is to die for and the owners of the venue are the best to work with. The venue has three separate areas to use to really make the most of the wedding day, ceremony deck, cocktail garden, and reception area down below. The scenery is so gorgeous you need minimal decorations and pictures anywhere on this property instantly are perfect. Flowers, oak trees, ocean views, barn it has the works. Stephanie and Paul were a pleasure to work with. Planning and coordinating with them from the very beginning was so easy and they were incredibly responsive, helpful, flexible, kind and laid back which we all know wedding planning can be stressful. We would 100% recommend Green Oaks Creek. And you can camp out on the property with all your friends!

Rachel Sent on 01/12/2023a truly special venue
We got married at GOCF in November 2022 and it was a *dream*. Steph & Paul are wonderful to work with and will do everything they can to support your vision and wedding vibe. The vast majority of our guests (110-115) were traveling from across the country, so we were eager to showcase the surrounding natural beauty and GOCF did not disappoint. Ocean views for the ceremony + a beautiful garden for cocktail hour + cozy campfire in the evening = perfection. Highly recommend for anyone interested in a relaxed, authentic, coastal wedding! -

My wife and I got married here in October. From the very first meeting with Stephanie it was clear this venue was special and the family who runs it especially kind. The entire process was very smooth and our beautiful ceremony and reception were beautiful. Our guests especially loved the outdoor setting and the stunning nature all around. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at this wonderful venue. -
