I have shared this review on The Knot and Wedding Wire as well: This venue was a great space for our needs/desires for our wedding: indoor/outdoor space, surrounded by nature but modern/accessible, lots of space for tables, bar, food, dancing, band...the staff was extremely organized, nice and professional. We planned this wedding from France and they were very helpful with everything that comes with planning an event from abroad. Our guests all raved about having access to the telescopes, and the volunteers made it that much more fascinating by going above and beyond with their explanations of what we were gazing at.

Hastings House Garden Weddings

5.0

Half Moon Bay, CA
  • Up to 48 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $3,500

Hastings House Garden is a peaceful, enchanted spot, situated on a half-acre lot on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. It is a beautiful garden space perfect for ceremonies, vow renewals and elopements. It is completely private. The reception is held at a nearby venue of your choosing. You are provided with a list of local receptions sites.

We found Hastings House by looking for venues that catered specifically to small weddings (20 people) and fell in love with the garden and seaside scenery. Linda was a pleasure to work with; she gave us great local recommendations for hair stylists/MUA, florals, officiants, and reception venues in addition to helping us work through the complicated details of our guest seating and staggered arrival times. The classical guitar music her husband played during the ceremony preparation really stepped up the already romantic air of the garden. We hired an external photographer since we wanted pictures of our reception as well, but Linda was so generous as to take a few stunning photos of our ceremony as a bonus. She also took the time to walk our photographer around the garden and offered advice for photo framing and staging. Linda and Richard were both very accommodating of our wedding vision and they played a huge part in making our special day every ounce of wonderful!

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of vibrant garden landscapes, wedding couples take center stage to celebrate their special day. Picture exchanging vows in a stunning ceremony surrounded by thousands of roses, savoring cocktails and conversations as you stroll along tree-lined garden paths, and dancing the night away in a spacious hilltop reception hall with panoramic views of acres of natural beauty.

Five stars for The Gardens at Heather Farm! As a vendor, one of the most important details in planning the perfect wedding (aside from making sure that my clients are happy!) is having a strong team at the venue. From the moment I walked into the Camellia Room for my last event at the Gardens, the office staff began checking everyone's vaccination cards and then followed through with each guest. I appreciated the efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process. As the wedding continued, the staff provided constant support and was always available for any question. At the end of the evening, there was no doubt that I would be able to find a professional to be with me for the final walk-through. All of these details ensured that I would have what I needed to provide the best experience for my clients!

This is a special place. The moment you walk through the welcoming rustic gate and past a quintessential redwood barn, you enter a quiet, peaceful world of bird-song, the splash of water falling, tropical plantings of every conceivable varietal, winding paths, and cottages tucked away among exotic palms, banana, and ancient cypress trees. Abundant oak trees and giant prickly-pear cacti stand sentinel. Wooden benches and comfortably-cushioned, bent willow chairs in secluded, shady oases offer places to sit, to rest and to absorb the quiet. This spectacular private estate is a sanctuary, nestled along the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. Family-owned and operated, this expansive Carmel jungle hideaway was created exclusively for destination weddings or for those looking for a relaxing, retreat-style experience. Your closest family and friends gather to spend 2-5 nights together at your own private oasis, a hidden Shangri-la- your home base for days of celebration of love. All are welcome.

I always highly recommend Holly Farm for so many reasons. In additional to feeling intimately in the tropical forest, you will be surrounded by love. Erin and Ryan reflect their hearts in everything they do. When you’re here, you’re family. Accepted, loved and supported which is exactly what matters when choosing where to hold your special weekend.

Saratoga Springs

  • Starts at $2,950

Imagine your perfect wedding day nestled among trees in a spectacular natural outdoor setting with fresh air, natural creeks and soaring redwoods. We provide a full-service wedding experience that you and your guests will enjoy from start to end. Our all-outdoor venue provides everything you could dream of - stunning natural beauty, convenient location and mouth-watering catering.

We had our wedding at Saratoga Springs earlier this month, and it was a magical evening, all thanks to their professionalism, hard work, and beautiful location. First of all, the staff at Saratoga Springs were friendly, kind, and easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, they were only an email away, and they responded to our questions promptly, no matter how simple or complex they were. They are very experienced at holding weddings at their venue, and their experience lessened the load on us as the couple. We also found the cost of holding our wedding there to be a great value for the Bay Area, and from the very beginning, they were transparent with us about their pricing and services, unlike other venues we contacted. We got compliments all night on how beautiful the venue was. We held our ceremony and reception in Cathedral Grove, which felt secluded despite being relatively accessible. Our families were also very impressed by how quickly and efficiently the staff took care of the details of our event behind the scenes. They helped to do things like remove the chairs from our ceremony and pack up our dessert at the end of the night quickly and discreetly. Saratoga Springs was a perfect middle ground between an all-inclusive venue and a DIY venue for us. They provided and coordinated a lot (for instance, rentals for chairs and the china and linens) but also allowed us to bring in our own vendors, including the catering, the florist, and the photographer. They provided a list of recommended vendors, which was a very helpful starting point for us. In the end, we used a caterer and a florist that they recommended, and since our vendors were familiar with the venue, they worked together seamlessly. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more, and we couldn't have done it without their help!

My wedding was magical and better than I could have imagined- and I have TLC and the ranch to thank!

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 hosted our October 2023 Wedding Ceremony at Hakone and we were so happy with the beautiful gardens and overall experience. The staff at Hakone (Tony and Melia) were extremely helpful, friendly, and easy to work with and they went above and beyond to make sure our rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly. We requested a unique setup with two aisles and we had a large decoration to attach to an arch we rented through a vendor, and they worked with both us and our vendors to make sure that everything was set up just right with plenty of time to spare. They also helped us work through all the important details of the ceremony without being overwhelming, and they did a perfect job executing on the actual ceremony, queuing our party to walk and managing the music and sound system. The garden itself is beautiful in any season. We visited multiple times throughout the year leading up to our wedding and enjoyed different plants in bloom every time. In October, the garden was still lush and green with redwoods, bamboo, and the Koi pond providing amazing variety. Our guests had a great time strolling through the gardens before and after the ceremony, and there were tons of amazing backdrops for our wedding photos. They even gave us a complimentary year-long membership following our wedding so we could come back to relive the memories! In summary, we highly recommend Hakone whether for a wedding ceremony or just a visit!
