  Amazing downtown SLO venue - highly recommend

  We got married at The Penny in November 2023 - we planned our wedding in 6 months and Lauren and her team were stellar. I really appreciated how much I could lean on them for the design / aesthetics of the day and didn't need to coordinate decor rentals since they have so many items in house. Lauren's team took care of every contract, timeline, set-up everything. Her team is detailed, kind, and on top of everything. In general, The Penny is a great location and really lovely venue. We had 70 people at our wedding, and the size of the space felt just right. I would highly recommend The Penny - not just for weddings, but any event!

  Our dream wedding!

  The Penny was the perfect venue for our wedding with about 100 guests. The team was incredible and enthusiastic to work with and did SO much to make the entire process easy for us. This is the perfect wedding venue if you want to have a walkable downtown area and plan a nearby after party! The team put so much into making all the decor and set up for the day flawless. I would highly recommend utilizing their month of coordinator option too.

  Loved everything about The Penny!

  We had the best experience with The Penny for our wedding. Lauren, Anelise and Tiana were all so wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. I loved how easy The Penny made it for rentals so we did not have to go through outside companies. They also did an amazing job with "my vision" and the space looked so beautiful the day of the ceremony and I could not have been happier. I definitely recommend adding the 'day of coordinator' to your package, they will start contacting your vendors 6 weeks before the date and save you from a lot of headaches and stress :)

  Hands down amazing!

  My husband and I can not say enough amazing things about Lauren, Anelise and the rest of The Penny team. The venue was amazing, so beautiful and so versatile (so many different styles of weddings look amazing in this space). They have a tremendous and beautiful selection of items you can rent in-house (tables, chairs, photobooth, lounge sets, florals and SO MUCH more!!) that we found to be very affordable. The Penny also offers in-house coordination, which we were EXTREMELY impressed with. I would recommend the in-house coordination service to anyone. We do not have one compliant, all around amazing service and experience.

  Such an amazing space and experience!

  We had the BEST experience working with The Penny. It is such a beautiful and unique event space in the Central Coast. The staff was so kind and easy to work with. They were incredibly responsive and worked hard to make the event run seamlessly and make our vision come to life. They offer a variety of amazing vendors and coordinate with them to get everything set up smoothly. It was such a great experience working alongside everyone at The Penny and I would highly recommend using them for your next event!

  The Penny- a beautiful venue!

  The Penny is in the heart of downtown SLO and is beautiful. We found this place for our wedding just by walking by and we were beyond happy that we found this hidden gem. Lauren and Anelise were extremely helpful with the whole process from start to finish for our wedding. they truly know the venue space and what works well. They gave wonderful recommendations for vendors to use. During the wedding they were both great at checking in but also staying in the background to make sure that we and our guests enjoyed the day without any issues.
  We would highly recommend this venue to anyone to use whether its a wedding or just a special event. The staff was wonderful to work with and that made all the difference.
