Welcome. Sydalyn Hill is a new, exclusive family-run farm and venue that hosts a limited number of weddings a year between May and September.

Sydalyn Hill, and its owners, Gwyn and Jon, are simply amazing. The venue itself is gorgeous and hidden in plain site. It's just a little bit off of Highway 9, but it feels like you've arrived in heaven when you get there. At the same time it is, paradoxically, expansive and yet completely intimate. I've dj'd there on a couple of occasions, and both times it felt like there was magic in there air. I know this is full of superlatives, but I can't say enough good things about this place. Gwyn and Jon are delightful and highly professional. They make sure everything is in place and have a high attention to detail. Both are extremely nice and easy to work with. Anyone considering getting married in the Santa Cruz area owes it to themselves to have a look at this gem.

Hakone Estate and Gardens 

5.0

Saratoga, CA
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,200

With a maximum capacity of 180 people, Hakone Estate and Gardens offers both indoor and uncovered outdoor settings. The overall feel of the 18 acres private venue is classy and outdoorsy. Wheelchair accessible venue offers nearby parking for its guests. Event planning services are also available by Hakone Estate and Gardens to help couples plan a day that they can remember for the rest of their lives. Although the venue does not provide catering or event rentals, We do have a list of trusted preferred vendors who have years of professional experience. The long list of preferred vendors & caterers that Hakone Estate and Gardens provides range from caterers and florists to entertainment and officiants. Each of our preferred vendors have worked with Hakone Estate and Gardens before and is familiar with the venue’s policies and regulations.

We had our wedding at Hakone in June 2023. We booked the venue early out (Sep 2021) and have had an extremely positive experience from planning up to our wedding day. The site: Beautiful space for what we needed (120 guests). Guests, including kids, loved experiencing the garden before and after the ceremony. There is a variety of areas/backdrops for photographer to take portraits. Amenities: Their "base" rental includes most essentials - tables, chairs, dance floor, and basic sound system. It is one of the few places we could find in the bay area that allows BYO alcohol which is typically more cost-efficient than an alcohol package from caterer. The only "con" is due to being in a residential area, dancing/loud music has to be wrapped up fairly early. Service: Although the venue does not technically come with a formal planner/coordinator, we felt taken care of by Tony and Melia every step of the way. After booking, they willingly allowed us to come back for 2-3 additional tours and answered our emails promptly. They even coordinated rehearsal and allowed us to drop off decor items/alcohol on the rehearsal day. We did not hire a planner/day-of coordinator (just had family friends help out) and yet we felt completely taken care of. On our wedding day, Melia ensured our ceremony started on time and directing the procession. She even stayed until the end of reception. Most of our vendors had worked at Hakone before which made the day even more seamless. After the wedding, we promptly received our deposit.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were looking for a beautiful outdoor location for our intimate wedding and were so glad we found Secret Garden Ceremonies. We booked the estate and the retreat and both locations are absolutely spectacular. We had our ceremony in the redwood grove and dinner reception on the estate lawn and Tiffani and her team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was executed beautifully. Our guests were in awe of how amazing the venue, retreat, ceremony, and entire experience was. Throughout the entire process, Tiffani provided us with great guidance and support, answered all our questions, and always gave honest and transparent input and feedback. We aren’t local to the Santa Cruz area and Tiffani had amazing recommendations for catering, floral, photography, local restaurants, and places for our guests to stay. Tiffani was also our officiant and worked with us to create a ceremony that fit our personalities perfectly and was exactly what we envisioned. The beauty and tranquility of the retreat really helped to set the stage for our entire wedding weekend. This beautiful cabin nestled in the redwoods provided the perfect lodging accommodations for ourselves and our wedding party; the bedrooms and living spaces were clean, comfortable, and spacious; and we so appreciated how Tiffani went above and beyond with all the little touches of home to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. To kick off the weekend, we hosted a welcome dinner on the outdoor deck under the redwoods for all our wedding guests. The Retreat was also a beautiful and bright getting ready space for our bridal party and one of the many redwood groves on the property provided an absolutely stunning backdrop for our first look and pre-ceremony photos. A huge thank you to Tiffani and her team for making our dream wedding a reality and for creating such an amazing experience for us and our family and friends. We can't recommend Secret Garden Ceremonies enough!

Arrillaga Family Recreation Center 

5.0

Menlo Park, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,944

When guests arrive at the redwood-and-glass building, they often gather in its open, airy lobby. Then, if you’re having your ceremony here (and most couples do), your family and friends will be ushered through Craftsman-styled double wooden doors to the serene South Patio. This beautiful, crescent-shaped flagstone space wraps around one entire side of the building and features a Zen-like border of Japanese maples, native plants and graceful oaks. Handcrafted ceramic urns are integrated throughout and serve as artful and calming water features. You can opt to exchange vows in front of those wooden entry doors, or take full advantage of the patio’s pièce de résistance and say “I do” beneath an asymmetrical canvas canopy. There’s ample room for al fresco cocktails on the patio before everyone moves into the Sequoia Room for dinner. This reception area feels quite spacious, with its cathedral ceiling, polished hardwood floors, and two walls of glass

Our wedding was held here. The venue had so much to recommend it and was perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour in the the large patio areas, and dinner and dancing in the Sequoia Room. We had 100 guests, easily accommodated for a seated dinner leaving a roomy dance floor. The great convenience of having on-site ample parking, and easy accessibility was appreciated by our guests. The facility is well designed, modern, and all on one level. There are also some lovely spots for wedding photos taking advantage of the landscaping around the center. Another huge plus was the ability to use the caterer of our choice (Kitchenina) and other vendors. Working with the venue representative, Dashawn W., was a pleasure; she was so efficient, responsive, and helpful, from the day we first toured Arrillaga throughout the whole planning process. The Arrillaga Family Recreation Center was perfect for the wedding - a great venue for a wonderful day!

Jody and Dante were a fantastic pick to work with. Casa Dei Sogni was so much more than just a venue. The experience was incredibly memorable in their beautiful home overlooking the coastline and town of Montara. Jody was so knowledgeable we ended up asking her to be our event coordinator, which really took a lot of stress off of the whole situation so we could just focus on enjoying the event. Choosing Casa Dei Sogni was the best decision we made for our wedding celebration.

Holman Ranch 

5.0

Carmel Valley, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $71,000

Holman Ranch is a nationally-recognized venue offering a luxury event experience with wide-ranging amenities. See why visitors from around the world have gathered here since 1928 to share their love. A boutique winery with stunning vineyards that produce some of the region’s best pinot noir and chardonnay. Our state-of-the-art wine cave allows for unique tasting experiences and a venue for cocktail hours or seated dinners.

Holman ranch is truly the most gorgeous venue. The ceremony space is unbelievable and having the dinner in the rose garden was so magical and felt very intimate. Every corner of the property is absolutely gorgeous and being able to stay on the property for the weekend made all the difference in our experience. Our family and wedding party were able to stay with us for the entire weekend and it made it all the more special. Kerolos and Victoria are so amazing and fabulous to work with. They work so hard to make sure the weekend and day are perfect and they are so on top of everything. They’re super flexible with making changes to fit your vision and they think of every little detail. I highly recommended looking at Holman ranch for your wedding event!
