Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This spectacular oceanfront resort reflects the beauty of the California coast through carefully curated nautical décor, light-flooded event spaces, and spacious, luxurious accommodations to spoil your guests. Located just 30 minutes from San Francisco, it's ideally tucked between the picturesque Pillar Point Harbor and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
- Soft sea breezes cool the Wedding Garden, where graceful Italian cypress trees and sweeping views of the harbor set the stage for a lovely ceremony. Afterwards, mingle over cocktails on the landscaped lawn before retiring to the Gate House, which evokes a chic coastal barn with its dark wooden beams, wrought-iron chandeliers, and French doors that lead to a spacious stone patio.
- In the Atrium, an ethereal glass ceiling offers unobstructed views of the glimmering stars as you dance the night away. Soft, floor-length curtains separate it from the Grand Ballroom, which is embellished with ornate crown molding, Art Deco wall sconces and a trio of crystal chandeliers for an upscale ambiance.
