About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Nestled in the coastal California redwoods high above the Pacific Ocean sits Kennolyn, with its 450 acres of magical forest and expansive ocean views. We are a true departure from any hotel ballroom or standard wedding facility and offer two unique and very special wedding experiences to choose from.

Our expansive Hilltop Hacienda location features stunning Spanish architecture and a classic mid-century charm for up to 300 guests. A wedding at the Hacienda takes you and your guests on an amazing journey from the most serene, sun dappled, forest ceremony to a lively evening of dancing under the stars to the area’s hottest DJs. Exclusive venue use, a picture-perfect bridal house and a cool grooms room for the boys are just a few features that make Hilltop Hacienda the perfect choice.

For the adventurous couple looking to do something new and truly special with their friends and family, we offer the immersive weekend wedding retreat at Stone Creek Village. A world away from the everyday grind, featuring cozy cabins and acres of outdoor activities, Stone Creek Village allows you and your entire wedding party to spend a carefree weekend celebrating your union. Whether hiking, relaxing by the pool or giving the trapeze and ropes courses a try, Stone Creek Village will deliver your guests a wedding weekend they will never forget. The love and community that exist during these remarkable stays is unlike any celebration we know of.

Kennolyn has a creative, energetic team of wedding professionals ready to meet with you and begin planning the event of a lifetime. Book a tour today!

Magical Wedding & Incredible Staff Support

I wholeheartedly recommend Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda! I was married on 5/20/23 with the Spring Promo package, and I was so happy with the experience.

The venue is gorgeous, and it was the perfect place for my outdoor wedding. There is a redwood grove or great lawn facing distant views of the Pacific Ocean that are both beautiful options for a ceremony. The patio facing the lawn is perfect for dinner, and the indoor courtyard is stunning and great for cocktails and dancing. We didn't use the Hacienda itself much except for guests who wanted to sit by the fire (it's a good backup plan for inclement weather). The bridal house is amazing and accommodates many people for getting ready (multiple rooms and bathrooms, living/dining areas, with a gorgeous patio with the same amazing views out to the ocean). There is also a separate Casita with a bathroom for the groom's party to get ready. There are so many beautiful natural and architectural places for photographs as well. The landscaping is beautiful, so you don't need to spend money on many extra florals. Weddings have exclusive use of the venue, which makes it really private and intimate.

The Spring Promo deal was a great value and included buffet catering/cake/dessert, alcohol package, DJ/MC, tables/chairs/etc, ceremony arbor, some florals (it was enough given the landscaping), taxes/tips. The deal is for 100 guests, and when my group ended up being half of that, Andrea (Events Manager) was so kind and tried to give us more value for the money: double the variety of passed appetizers than was initially included in the package and adding orchids (my favorite flower) to the florals. The all-inclusive nature of the package was so amazing for not having to worry about each of these things individually.

Since the catering was included and food was very important to us, I was initially nervous to sign the contract before tasting the food. My family and I were so happy on our Tasting Day when the food was excellent, and everything we tried was delicious (and I think we have pretty high standards for food)! They were also so accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences. Since our package was a served buffet, the vegetarian/vegans were given their own plates separately. The cake and assorted dessert were also delicious (and they were willing to make a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting as we requested).

The DJ/MC (Courtney Helms) was assigned from Sound in Motion, and we got along great. He did a wonderful job too - I danced the whole night! He was also very accommodating with including French music that we compiled (my husband is French).

Finally, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Andrea (Event Manager), Elyse (Wedding Coordinator), and the entire staff! I did not have a wedding planner, and they filled the job beautifully. I was so impressed with their communication. They responded promptly and warmly to every email, line-by-line, answering all my questions for months! They were so supportive and patient, and they seemed as invested as I was in having a wonderful wedding day and making everyone happy and comfortable. I am forever grateful to them and to Kennolyn for such a magical day!

Stone Creek Village in the Redwoods

We had a fantastic 3 day wedding event at Stone Creek Village, beautifully set in the redwoods with a very reasonably priced package of accommodation and food for our 75 guests. The staff were all very helpful and flexible and did everything to help everything run smoothly for us.

As a wedding photographer, I've photographed weddings in many beautiful venues. Kennolyn's Hilltop Hacienda is one of my favorites! The views are world class, the grounds are really beautiful, and the hacienda is gorgeous. Wedding photographs there always come out great! The staff is very professional, and will make sure that your wedding day is perfect.
