Couples love the mix of indoor and outdoor settings, onsite suites for overnight stay, and clear guest policies that make planning stress-free.

Can we choose our own florist, planner, or photographer?

How do event costs work?
Rates are provided by request. A $5,000 refundable security deposit and ~$300 liability insurance policy apply.

Yes. Alcohol may be provided by the couple, provided that a licensed bartending service manages the service.
The Grand Ballroom — Elegant interiors ideal for receptions, banquets, or indoor ceremonies.

Many couples arrange shuttles from Lompoc for group travel, while others recommend rideshare apps for convenience. Complimentary on-site parking is available, and the property is fully ADA accessible with paved walkways, wheelchair-friendly restrooms, and designated parking.
Your celebration may begin with a ceremony beneath the waterfall or among the gardens. Guests then mingle over cocktails in the courtyard or on the expansive lawn. Dinner and dancing can continue inside the ballroom, ensuring your event carries on seamlessly no matter the weather. Music is permitted until the county-required 10 pm cut-off.
Garden pathways, a stone turret, and the waterfall provide impressive, romantic backdrops. Indoors, the ballroom’s classic architecture and warm lighting create timeless portraits. Evening events bring additional character with bistro-lit courtyards, lit-up oak trees and outdoor lawn spaces.

Beautiful venue with a quaint cottage! Loved our quick getaway in a romantic, quiet location. Although it’s a wedding venue location, I would be interested in seeing the trees fully lit for an evening wedding experience. I bet it’s beautiful! Ramona Puget
