Riverside Lawn

A place where time slows, hearts open, and memories are etched into the very soul of the land.

This garden sanctuary is artfully landscaped with Big Sur flora, and grounded in the enduring strength of old growth sycamore trees. Three sycamore trunks recovered from a powerful storm lie at the heart of the lawn. These trunks, with their stories etched in every crevice and curve, form a zen focal point for any event. Ideal for those who seek to immerse their events in the embrace of nature's grandeur, the riverside lawn is a blend of organic elegance and natural tranquility.

The Village, Big Sur was an absolute dream to work with, creating our "Night Before" celebration. I could not be happier with our evening and dinner! The staff was amazing both planning and executing our event which was held on the lawn and in "the barn", a truly gorgeous, serene setting. Attention to detail was evident, personal and thoughtful. The evening began with a "welcome" signature cocktail, champagne, and a beautiful canape' station. Dinner followed with a land and sea inspired menu. Absolute perfection! Thank you Catherine, Chef Tim, and Matt for making our special night unforgettable.

As a local photographer, I have watched the space become transformed into an elevated venue, and gathering space, all while keeping the rustic charm of the building. The grounds are beautiful, the open air feel is great, and the aesthetic details are gorgeous. The team behind it is superb, and I would definitely recommend this location of an event! A great location in the heart of Big Sur.
