    Casa for Bridal Party
    Kenneth H.

    We cannot sufficiently express what a magical venue Kennolyn Hill Hacienda was for our recent wedding! From the STUNNING setting to the EXCEPTIONAL planning and day-of support and service, coupled with delicious food and wine, you can be confident that your wedding day at Kennolyn will be all, and more, than you could dream for! After viewing 7 other venues in the Bay Area and meeting with each respective Event Manager, we knew Kennolyn Hill Hacienda was "the place" for our wedding. First, the enchanting setting: Kennolyn Hill Hacienda sits atop a peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, surrounded by majestic Redwoods and other native flora. In the far distance is the view of the ocean. The hacienda itself is gorgeous, starting with its wooden carved door opening into the courtyard, which is framed with flowering trumpet vines on the inside and bougainvillea on its outside walls. In the middle of the courtyard is a beautiful and romantic 3-tiered fountain. This courtyard was perfect for the cocktail hour and dancing, as well as for several Memory Tables adorned with photographs, and separate tables for Seating charts, cards, guest book etc. Separating the courtyard from the Terrace, where a very elegant al fresca dinner took place, is the Hacienda Room. Romantically decorated with a bit of ceiling draping, ambient backdrop lighting, a large lit striking fireplace and ample comfortable seating, the Hacienda Room was perfect for the buffet and dessert set-ups, as well as for a relaxing indoor seating area. The bistro-bulb lit Terrace beautifully accommodated our 17 8-guest tables overlooking the redwood groves, ocean view and remaining lush landscape. The Casa de Caldwell, available starting at 10 am for the bride and her bridal party, is exquisite. Its Latin décor is striking, and the casa is very spacious with multiple rooms and bathrooms for the bridal party to comfortably get ready in. The casa's terraces and gardens are breathtaking - elegant on their own to hold a wedding ceremony and reception! There is also a casita for the groom and his groomsmen with its own bathroom. The staff even opened a private room for the Matron-of-Honor to comfortably breastfeed and place her baby down for a nap during the wedding. On to the service and support provided by the Kennolyn staff: TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. We worked with Elyse (she is REMARKABLE!) for over a year planning our wedding. Andrea, the Events Manager, was often involved as well and she is absolutely delightful! So positive, efficient, friendly, and always ready to help! Towards the end, we also had the pleasure of working with Deirdre (just as lovely and helpful!) All three were present during the rehearsal and the wedding! The ceremony and reception were flawless! Elyse must have received an average of several emails from us every week, for over a year. Often, we barely had time to hit the send button that we received a response, with line-by-line answers to our questions, requests. Never once did we sense that we were becoming annoying. We had several requests that Kennolyn made happen. An immediate "cannot be done" is not in Kennolyn's staff vocabulary. They go way above and beyond in accommodating each couple's' vision for their special day, as is feasible to achieve. The food was excellent, as was the wine paired. The bride's mother is French, and the relatives who attended from France commented on the quality and how tasty the food was. And the French know good food! From the research we completed before choosing Kennolyn as our venue, we can wholeheartedly state that you will be hard-pressed to find another venue in the Bay Area where you will get so much value for the cost. The value includes an secure site surrounded by unparalleled and endless beauty, a hacienda, a courtyard, a terrace, an expansive lawn area, a redwood grove, the Casa and Casita, an event coordinator who is as good (if not better) than a topnotch wedding planner - along with her equally incredible supervisor and colleague, a "Sound in Motion" DJ (excellent), fantastic food and wine, sweetheart table and lovers' seat, guest tables, linens, chairs, china, etc. , heaters, fireplace, fountains, sun canopies, guest parasols, bistro lighting, multiple arbors, dessert serving dishes! Most of all, what you will receive is a Kennolyn Team who is as committed as you are to making your Wedding Day a Dream Come True!

    I don't even know where to begin with this review because our May 2018 wedding weekend at Stone Creek Village at Kennolyn was amazing!!! We knew we wanted to incorporate the beauty of the redwoods, an opportunity for our family and friends to spend quality time with one another, and a venue that would be mostly inclusive of all wedding needs - Kennolyn fit that bill perfectly! Working with Janine and her team was fantastic!! Janine is an amazing coordinator who is extremely professional, understanding, and patient. The Kennolyn staff was nothing but professional, helpful and accommodating. Along with Janine, they helped make our weekend wedding a superb success making sure to take care of all of the major and minor details. Janine coordinated with the outside vendors like a champ and never once did I feel like I needed to intervene, and I like to intervene. One thing that caused some concern was the fact that we had to sign a contract before a formal food tasting but all of that was alleviated the moment we stepped foot onto their site during one of their "meet and greet" events with their catering staff. We were invited to bring up to 2 guests and we met other couples who were also having their weddings at Kennolyn, meet vendors for services that Kennolyn didn't provide as well as sample a vast variety of their menu items before deciding what our wedding menu would be. The food was spectacular and we were able to leave the event with a wedding menu in mind. Our guests loved the options and the quality!! There were some additions we added to our weekend package: the bonfire and s'mores package for Friday night and the ropes course on Saturday morning. Both are HIGHLY recommended and if you are considering and evaluating if both are worth the value, for the purposes of our wedding and giving our family and friends opportunities to have shared memories, get to know one another in different capacities, it was a complete SUCCESS!! If you're considering Kennolyn's Stone Creek Village I would 100% recommend it! To this day, our guests still speak about their experiences as "one of the most fun and memorable weddings/weekends" they've been to. My husband and I would recreate the whole weekend again @ Kennolyn if we had the chance!!

    We got married on 5/20/23 at Kennolyn's Stone Creek Village and if we could live the weekend over and over again we could. Our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams! Everything far exceeded our expectations. We met through working at a summer camp so when we came across Camp Kennolyn we knew we had to check it out. We fell in love immediately when we toured the venue. The grounds are breathtaking. There's nothing like the redwoods and you are surrounded by them at Kennolyn. The ceremony space is magical! The staff, especially Elyse & Dierdra, were helpful every step of the way, always patiently answering our many questions. I wish I could thank every single person who worked the weekend of our wedding because they were all incredible, friendly, and helped make sure the weekend went off without a hitch. The "all-inclusive" nature made planning a breeze, we did not have to worry about DJ, catering, lighting, bartenders, or renting tables/tablecloths/plates/silverware, etc. Absolutely everything was perfect! The guest experience is so special and we got a lot of compliments from our guests. We had 85 people staying on-site over the wedding weekend and every single person has talked about how much fun they had and how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. The cabins were cozy and it was so fun to have all our friends and family with us all weekend. Aside from the wedding, there are so many activities available for guests including tennis courts, a pool, basketball, corn hole, volleyball, and more! Additionally, Kennolyn provides a TON of the equipment for said activities at no extra cost. We also received compliments on the food! The food was great all weekend! My cousin, who happens to be a chef, commented that it was some of the best rehearsal dinner food he had ever had. Guests had many compliments on the wedding reception meal. They have options for late-night bites which I highly recommend. The Mac & Cheese bar is to die for! I also love how they took care of myself and my husband and our bridal party before the wedding. They set the groomsmen up with beverages in the museum and delivered champagne and lunch to the bridesmaids. Kennolyn's Stone Creek Village is a magical place. There truly is something special about it and the people who work there. I hope someday I can go back as a guest!

    Kennolyn is a beautiful place to get married! - Photo by Simone Anne Photography (simoneanne.com)

Chef Andrea, who is a professor of the culinary school, also offers a lot of options to customize the menu. For example, we wanted to incorporate chestnuts and dates into our menu. We had this Korean traditional ceremony where our parents gave us blessings with chestnuts and dates. Chef Andrea customized hors d'oeuvre to be roasted chestnut crostini. We also had desserts with them - chocolate chestnut cakes & a family-recipe date bar. It was awesome. Many people complimented our food, and it made me very happy because food is such an important factor in our lives (I am Korean and we live in NYC - food is all we care about haha). Students of culinary school prepared and served our food - it was such an honor to have those enthusiasm and joy on our big day. The venue comes with the day of coordinator - Chrissy. I can't say enough about her. She is the best. After the first meeting with her, I told my husband "I think we're in good hands". She is a seasoned professional who knows the ins and outs of the wedding. In general, it is a great venue with a great price & great staff. Highly recommend. Photo credit: @nicolejkimphotography

Marky has a quality that makes her immediately become family. She was so responsive to us and answered all of our questions via the million emails we sent her. She has EVERYTHING taken care of and thought through, down to the smallest details. She cares so much about you and your day and it seems like it is truly a labor of love for her. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our day was, and it was in large part because of everything Marky and her team did for us. My biggest advice for anyone considering holding an event at Radonich Ranch is to not stress- Marky has it covered.

They handle everything including the coordinating, rentals, flowers, food and non alcoholic beverages. The owner of Vignette is Marky Carr and she is the sole contact for all of the planning. She is wonderful and you won't regret choosing this venue/company to host your special day. Marky is a seasoned professional and you can put complete trust in her that she will come through for you! Everything ran so smoothly, the day was absolutely seamless. I so appreciated her attention to detail and making sure all of the decor was how I wanted it. The flowers were beautiful, the food was great, and all of the day-of staff was super helpful and professional. I really can't reiterate enough, how wonderful it was to have Marky as someone I could rely on to make sure everything was just right. It was hard for me to understand why Brides always say "You're going to want to have someone else take care of things the day of." I'm so used to being the planner that it's hard to let go of control sometimes, but I completely understand what they are talking about now. It's just an overwhelming experience and I definitely didn't have the mindset to worry about all of the details, and I didn't have to because of her. She is a star and I hope she continues to enjoy doing what she's doing for many years to come, so other people can experience the same kind of wonderful wedding day she helps make happen!

It worked great for our wedding of 70, but could accommodate up to 200 guests. Michelle and Troy, the owners, are so helpful and flexible. Our wedding had full Hindu and Jewish ceremonies with a full change of clothing for both families in between. Michelle was very responsive to all of our requests. Michelle and Troy were available during the rehearsal and on our wedding day to make sure all of our space, power, water, and other requirements were being met. Bella Vista is also super flexible about the vendors you bring in: as long as your vendors are properly insured, you can choose the rentals, lighting, decorators, caterers, and photographers you like best, which is rare for wedding venues. Credit for basic chairs, dinner tables, and linens was included in the fee, and this credit can be used towards upgraded rentals. We used farm tables instead of round tables; I would recommend these to complement the venue's natural beauty. Market lighting, wildflower centerpieces, and a wooden ceremony arch made everything look spectacular! At Bella Vista, you can really use your creativity transform the lawn into your dream backyard wedding. Other details: Bella Vista only does one wedding per weekend, so we had access to the property for exterior drop-offs a couple of days before the wedding and for pick-ups the day after, which made it really easy to coordinate vendor deliveries as well as personal drop-offs. A 2-hour rehearsal was also included. On our wedding day, we had access to a bridal suite as well as the whole main floor of the house, which was great to give our guests a break from the heat. The caterers used the kitchen and deck. Michelle and Troy are such awesome people to let couples use so much of their home, so please treat Bella Vista as you would your own house!

We got a early access to the hall at 4 pm on the Friday prior to decorate and help set up tables. The tables and chairs are fold out but we were able to setup on three sections with ample space for kids to run around. There is a side room, ballroom style which can accommodate a DJ. Then there's a back kitchen with a couple stoves and ample space for a bar area. The hall has a stage and plenty of parking for guests. Although parking was not an issue there is a park across Little Corralitos Way for public parking. All in all, great experience, and not a ton of drama with the parking situation. Would recommend the hall for family get togethers and moderately sized events. One thing to keep in mind is cell service may be hit or miss and getting to the hall can be challenging for first time visitors. They can always stop at Corralitos Market and ask for directions.
