We had the absolute best experience with Fairview Laguna Seca! From the very beginning, Danielle was the reason we fell in love with the venue, her energy, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel so confident in our decision. When she transitioned out of her role, we were a little anxious, but then Melissa came in and completely blew us away. Melissa worked with us through the last 6 months of planning and was nothing short of incredible. She listened to every idea, every concern, and somehow made everything happen exactly how we envisioned it. She always made us feel heard, never overwhelmed, and her calm, organized energy was everything we needed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total rockstar. She kept everything running smoothly and still managed to check in with us, make us laugh, and reassure us that everything was under control. We honestly don't know what we would’ve done without her! Amber joined the team just days before the wedding, but you’d never know it. She was so on top of things and jumped right in like she had been with us the whole time. Matt was also amazing, he made sure the day flowed perfectly and kept everything on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The food was delicious and there was so much of it, our guests are still talking about it! The bartending team was fast, friendly, and so easy to work with. Everyone from the Fairview Laguna Seca team went above and beyond to make our day feel special and stress-free. Our DJ, Ernesto, did an incredible job! He stuck to the vibe we wanted, played every request we had, and kept the dance floor going all night long. And the FLORALS … wow. D'Lily's absolutely nailed it. Every arrangement was stunning, fresh, and picture-perfect. They truly brought our vision to life. We can’t thank the entire Fairview Laguna Seca team enough. Our wedding was a dream, and it's all because of the amazing people who made it happen!

Where do I even begin? The coordinator was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, they managed every detail flawlessly and never missed a beat. Their professionalism, organization, and calm demeanor under pressure were exceptional. Truly, they deserve recognition for their outstanding work! The wedding would not have been as beautiful and seamless without their expertise. They ensured every detail was perfect, timelines were followed, and any potential issues were handled effortlessly. They brought the vision for the day to life in a way that exceeded all expectations. Not only did they keep everything running smoothly, but they also made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. From coordinating with vendors to keeping everyone on schedule and checking in to make sure we were happy and stress-free, they went above and beyond in every possible way. We are so grateful for their dedication, expertise, and genuine care in making the day unforgettable. Highly recommend their services! Additionally, a special shoutout to the team member who handled everything so gracefully at the end of the night – their patience and professionalism with guests were greatly appreciated.

For our 140 person, somewhat diy wedding, this place worked really well. They were accommodating about all my questions and for additional set up time and there were no surprises when it came to pay. HOWEVER there are important things to note w this venue- first is that they decorate heavily for their xmas market starting just before thanksgiving. Second is that they can sometimes be a little all over the place with who to talk to which for us resulted in being double booked for our original Nov date- we paid our deposit, booked a dream photographer, and were about to send save-the-dates when they contacted me that they made a mistake. In the end, we got a very good date in Oct and they made it right thru discounts and paying me the difference of what id lost from the photographer not being able to make the new date. Third thing is i was under the impression when i booked that we would have a coordinator from the venue on the day-of and that is not the case. Many of the staff are helpful but there is not a designated person for running your day outside of the table/linen set up and f&b. Last thing- their office phone system is not great, i always struggled w extensions and had to have their front desk transfer me to their Special Events staff, its small but when youre stressed planning it got to me. Overall, i would recommend them to folks who like a little kitsch, a little cottagecore, and a mostly inclusive experience.

Over ten years later, Villa San-Juliette has emerged as a premier wine destination on the Central Coast.

Big Sur Bakery

Charming, rustic, sweet, romantic – these are words used to describe Big Sur Bakery. The whimsy runs deep in the history of the space; perched upon a succulent covered slice of heaven in the heart of Sur Country. It all started with Alice Jaeger - the legend at the heart of the our story. In 1929, while the Pacific Coast Highway was under initial construction, Alice began plans for a homestead haven to offer travelers a place to rest & refuel. Alice planted cacti & succulents by hand throughout the land. With her husband, Steve, a ranch-style home was built in 1936. It later became a diner + tiny inn; a gathering place for locals and wanderers to rest, refuel, and nourish with a homegrown meal. That ranch-home is what we call Big Sur Bakery today. We're honored to carry on the traditions. The unique charm of Big Sur Bakery is built into the walls & windows through the tales of every single love story that has graced our sweet little rest-stop-meets-bakeshop we call home.
