Description
Just like every bride is uniquely beautiful, so, too, is each private estate charming in its own way. Hazlwood boasts charm aplenty, beginning with a bucolic and secluded location in the foothills of Los Gatos. It’s only a few minutes off the highway, but Hazlwood’s congenial, storybook personality makes you feel as if you were dropped into the middle of a forest clearing in some enchanted land.
A meadow screened by tall trees doubles as a parking lot; a painted birdhouse and ivy-covered archway mark a footpath onto Hazlwood’s bi-level grounds. On a rise to the left sits a comely wood-frame home, whose broad wraparound decks can host outdoor gatherings. To the right, a rambling emerald-green lawn is edged with pine and coastal redwoods. Just ahead, a magnificent waterfall and water garden ringed with river rocks, reedy bamboo and wild grasses glistens in the sunlight. The trickling of water and a breeze whispering through the treetops harmonizes with birdsong, while bullfrogs and fish dart among the water lilies. Just below the water garden is the Ceremony Lawn. An aisle of round stone pavers makes a gentle descent to a simple white-columned pergola, set against a dense grove of sky-high redwood trees, nature’s chapel for your wedding vows.
During the social hour, encourage guests to mingle around the water garden and savor the crisp, green landscape. Have your coordinator set up bistro tables for a garden reception, made pretty and easy thanks to a quaint greenhouse nearby that holds the buffet.
If you prefer an indoor fête, then you’ll enjoy the Summer House. A cut-flagstone path meanders to the upper level of the grounds, where grass and abundant trees continue the forest theme. The Summer House has a spacious bricked porch that looks out to the water garden. Have some fun with this old-fashioned element: hang luminarias along the white railing; place a portable bar here to serve your signature cocktail; or use the homey backdrop for picturesque group portraits. The two-room Summer House is made up almost entirely of multipaned windows and French doors, and with a vaulted ceiling, they lend the nearly all-white interior a bright and airy atmosphere. The first room in the Summer House has polished wood floors and ceiling fans, and works equally well for casual gatherings, elegant candlelight dinners or dancing. Up a step, an adjoining salon features a bar and Italian tiled floor, making it also a great choice for after-dinner dancing. Leave the French doors open, and invite guests onto an adjacent brick terrace to dip and sway in the moonlight.
Hazlwood has one more arrow in its quiver of delights: The catering is provided by James and Brenda Knipe, who are exclusive to Hazlwood and devoted entirely to your celebration. We have it on a good authority that Brenda cooks up a storm; and since James is the brother of owner Robert Knipe, events at Hazlwood take on the convivial spirit of a real family affair. Together, they extend a genteel welcome to you and your loved ones.
