Sand Rock Farm is also a great location for romantic elopements, engagement photo shoots, retreats, corporate events and film shoots.

Less than two hours south of San Francisco lies the most magical getaway along the Santa Cruz coastline. I first came upon this impossibly charming storybook B&B while searching for wedding venues, and from the few photos I was able to find online, it appeared to be something out of a fairytale.  Situated just 10 minutes from the ocean and tucked beneath giant California Redwoods of Aptos, is Sand Rock Farm Bed & Breakfast. From the redwood carriage barn, to the turn-of-the-century Craftsman home, and ivy covered stone walls of the winery ruin, it was everything I could have ever possibly dreamed. On my first stay, I knew this was an incredibly special place. We entered through a private gate and drove along a wooded pathway until arriving at a towering yet tranquil home with logs burning in the fireplace. The Arts & Crafts era house was filled with period details like dark wood finishes, original fixtures, and a formal dining room with wainscoting. A grand staircase leads to a second story with window nooks and guest rooms with en-suite baths. And in a neighboring grove, a giant redwood stands tall, a beacon of the property. AND THE FOOD... Derek, the chef, is amazing. The food is fresh, seasonal, and farm-to-table. His attention to seasonal, local ingredients mixed with bold flavors embody the adventurous spirit of this seaside town. From our first breakfast, he was accommodating and cognizant of my dietary preferences, an honorable quality among those with talent.   Staying in this magical getaway, get lost wandering paths through ten private acres, or stay cozy and curl up with a good book by the fire. We did both. All rooms have jacuzzi tubs, robes, WiFi and cable TV. See if you can fit in a long weekend by checking here. Or, even better, rent out the entire property for a company retreat, team-building exercise, family reunion, elopement, girl’s trip, guy’s trip, or family vacation. You will have access to 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, large dining room, gardens and a hot tub.  Having our wedding here was beyond my wildest dreams. It was everything I could have hoped for, from the on-site planner, florist (who was amazing!!), and chef (perfection!!), to the breathtaking backgrounds, and multiple settings for custom day flexibility. Jen was super easy to work with and it was far more affordable than other venues at the time. Plus, we loved that our wedding party could stay on-site - there was a great afterparty that ended with a jacuzzi and eating dinner leftovers in the kitchen! Also, conveniently located and very easy for guests to access. This place is truly something special, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit.  It makes me so happy to share it with you.

The Hollins House was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Giselle and her team were efficient, quick, and comprehensive in their communication throughout the planning process, which gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly on the big day. The venue itself is so beautiful and elegant, with stunning views that made a perfect backdrop. It was made even more beautiful all set up for our wedding. Giselle and her team executed everything flawlessly - from the ceremony timing to the reception details, everything flowed seamlessly thanks to their expertise. They clearly know how to run wedding events, as the day went off without a hitch. All our guests commented that it was the best and most beautiful wedding they’d ever been to. Plus the food and drinks are excellent!!! Everyone commented how good everything was as well. My husband and I felt taken care of the entire time. I didn’t worry at all during the day cause I knew the Hollins House knew what to do, and when and where to do it. Even small things like maybe it would be nice to have a speaker in the getting ready room- BOOM Giselle was there. Flower girls wanted to participate in a toast- BOOM here’s some sparkling apple cider. Giselle and all the staff are so kind and hospitable. And the Hollins House itself is just stunning. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and team to host our special day.

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.

Your guests will enter the serene area of the farm completely cradled by trees; the biggest redwood being showcased by up-lighting along with glowing market lights hanging overhead creating the perfect outdoor ambiance. An arbor laced with wisteria in the spring serves as the backdrop to the large dance-floor, and tall New York style street lamps highlight the garden. Palmdale Estates Events is dedicated to helping you plan the BEST DAY EVER and we look forward to hearing from you!

As a photographer, I've shot at a lot of venues & Ardenwood always tops the charts There is a lot of space to move around; especially in the reception space! That's something not a lot of ballrooms and even outdoor venues offer. The spaces are also gorgeous, which is a plus for photos! But the cherry on the pie will always be the coordinators you work with; Lindsey and Claire are amazing at caring for you (and us vendors!), taking care of the details, and turning your dream into a reality. If you're thinking about Ardenwood, just book it already! :)

Blue Agave Club 

5.0

Pleasanton, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Blue Agave Club is part of a family of great Mexican Restaurants located in the Bay Area. Located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, Blue Agave Club first opened its doors in April, 1997. Being the very first restaurant in the area to debut high-end Mexican cuisine, it was clear there was something special about Blue Agave from the very beginning. Boasting an impressive list of premium tequila, BAC had a huge impact on our community by introducing the art of tequila tasting. It wasn’t long before we quickly became well known for our 100% Blue Agave Tequila margaritas, featuring a secret homemade sweet and sour recipe.

Could not have imagined a better venue to celebrate our engagement. We hosted all of our family and friends in the back patio for dinner. The entire Blue Agave team went above and beyond to make it a perfect event — from the service, to menu, music, decor, and everything in between. Would highly recommend for any special occasion.

Paicines Ranch

Paicines, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,800

With its panoramic views, sweeping lawns, and historic buildings, the Paicines Ranch is the perfect location to begin your happily ever after! The ranch has a peaceful and magical feel that helps our couples feel relaxed and really take in the moments of their special day! With our 27 rooms in the event center, you can spend the whole weekend with family and friends and truly make your wedding a weekend to remember!

I got married here recently and it was beautiful! It is very convenient having rooms on site to accomodate so many guests. You have to cater through the venue but their food is amazing. They use their own grass fed meats and were great about what food and drinks we wanted. While the venue does come with a few things like tables and chairs, you do have to pay to rent other items from them and a lot of the decoration will be DIY, but this can be a good thing if you want to personalize a lot of things! Owners are not too strict about things and are flexible. This can go both ways though - sometimes the planning was a bit difficult due to lack of communication with the venue. It would take a while to get answers, or they would forget some things I told them. Definitely recommend getting a day of planner to help since this is a large venue with lots of DIY and family around usually. Other than that though, everything turned out beautiful and guests were very happy with the views and rooms. They are reasonably priced and we were able to stay up late too! Perfect day :)

Overall, this made for a homely and stress-free atmosphere that we really enjoyed. Would 100% recommend!
