Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Just 10 minutes from Los Gatos, you'll discover this serene hideaway nestled among the soaring redwoods—a true hidden gem tucked within the Santa Cruz Mountains. You're welcome to celebrate entirely al fresco in the fresh mountain air, with ceremonies before the towering trees and cocktails & dinner on the spacious, sun-dappled lawn.
- The wood-framed Pavilion exudes an elevated cabin-style vibe, with beautiful cedar wood walls and knotty pine ceilings, a gleaming hardwood floor, and large windows that keep those incredible forest views front and center while you dine and dance into the night.
- Their BYO flexibility and genuinely affordable price point make this spot a standout for couples looking to maximize value while enjoying complete creative freedom. The simple, transparent rental structure includes use of the Pavilion and grounds on the wedding day and the day prior for setup, and their open vendor policy lets you pick the vendors that fit your vision.
