He is extremely professional and was great with communication. The ranch is breath taking and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was and how great Gabriel is. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue or venue owner to work with. We took Gabriel's recommendations for a wedding coordinator and bartenders and those were also some of the best vendors to work with. I can honestly say my day went perfectly and a lot of it was due to how great and hands on Gabriel is.

The outdoor ceremony area is GORGEOUS and provides the most stunning backdrop to your big day. Indoor area is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for our reception.

Also highly recommend this venue for all the amazing photography spots, from historic building backdrops to the creek!

If you want a wedding that feels effortless, joyful, and downright unforgettable, The Penny is…read morewhere you do it. We got married here last month and it was the BEST day of our lives!! Choosing to have our day here was hands-down the smartest decision we made. From the second we stepped into the venue for our first tour, everything just clicked. We live in Arizona but knew we wanted to get married on the Central Coast. During our tour, Lauren truly listened to what mattered to us and showed us exactly how those details would come to life on our wedding day. That meant everything. We weren't just potential clients touring a venue, we were fiancés getting ready to celebrate the rest of our lives together, and Lauren never lost sight of that. Once we signed on, our planner Lindsey walked us through every detail with so much confidence and warmth that planning from a state away actually felt easy. Something we didn't really think about during this whole process is just how much time you end up spending with your planner - leaning on them to help you through the day, asking them for advice. By the end of it all, Lindsey felt like an old friend and we knew we could trust her with our vision for the day. The Penny has a preferred vendor list that is absolutely epic, and it was SUPER helpful for people like us who weren't local. They were also completely open to working with any vendors we'd already chosen. We picked our bar and catering from their preferred list and came back out for tastings with each. Both experiences were incredible - I could write full reviews on each of them too!! We also chose to use a few other vendors from their list and we were so glad we did. Great venues attract great partners, and it showed every step of the way. The entire team at The Penny brings real passion to what they do, and you can feel it in every moment. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamless the day was and how stunning the space is. The Penny gave us the wedding we dreamed of and then some - we want to relive this day over and over and over. We cannot recommend The Penny enough!! Makayla and Spencer

We had the absolute best time at our wedding, it was truly the best day ever, and exceeded our…read moreexpectations in every way. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were perfect, and the table settings and everything came together so beautifully. It felt very us and we felt like we had a lot of input but that everything was taken care of and the stress off of us. The service was incredible and elevated the night in a way that no amount of drapery or flower arrangements could have. Lauren, Lindsey and her team (big shout out to Shannon) are so talented and I would 10/10 recommend trusting them with your special day.

I am beyond happy to have crossed paths with Region Event Center. At the beginning of my journey in…read morelooking for an event space I was faced with so many options. However, most of them were catered towards wedding venues which were out of my budget for a graduation event. Region Event Center is not only a beautiful setting for a wedding reception, but was the perfect option for my graduation. I had a little less than 100 people in attendance. Region provides more than enough space with its relaxing patio and indoor seating arrangement. I had the best experience working with Paige, the Event Coordinator for Region. From start to finish she was such a wonderful person to work with on my event. We were able to do a tasting and select local wines, as well choose the types of beer from a local brewery, prior to the event. Upon request she also provided us with a list of suggested caterers and external decor companies. She was very knowledgable of the area. The step by step process was so helpful. The day of the event went so well. I received so many compliments from guests on the event space, the drinks, the food, and the friendly staff. If you're looking for a clean and beautiful setting in downtown SLO with friendly staff for any event, Region is the place. Thank you so much, Region Event Center!

We held our magazine's holiday party of 80 people at the Region Event Center - and it could not…read morehave been easier or more seamless to plan! We worked with event director Paige who made everything so simple: we chose wine to be served off of their wine list (and proudly chose all local wines -- Region beautifully specializes in this), and then we brought in our own catered food and activities (Brick and Mortar catering, LouLou Cheese Girl for the cheese board, and Quiet Events silent disco) and even though we brought in those vendors, Paige so kindly worked with them directly to make sure they had all of the tools they needed to execute. She worked with us to make sure everything fit into the budget (offering cost-effective options all along the way, including providing tables, seating, mic, etc at no additional cost); Paige and her team felt like true team members all along the way, including when our guests were at the party. The Region team made sure that each guest felt at home and taken care of. NOT TO MENTION - the actual space is so beautiful and new! The architecture and tile work is especially stunning. And the space has a full kitchen with ample fridge space - hallelujah! One less thing we had to think through. We felt lucky to have our party there; what a perfect way to celebrate together. Thank you Region!

Novo Restaurant & Lounge donated to the Lumina gala, and I was the happy bidder who took it home -- which means a beautiful evening is officially on my calendar.

Supporting women and families in need and setting someone up for a memorable night out? That's how you do it.

As I've stayed before, I knew that the location was pretty close to things. That's a major plus knowing that you can get somewhere fast. We checked in a little after 4 which parking was pretty busy already. We ended getting one of the accessible room as it was the only one available that had two bed. Full size bed was decent but not comparable to a queen or even a king. But it'll do as it was just an overnight stay. Location of the place is great as you're literally on the same street as downtown SLO. Make a right out of the driveway and you're about a few minutes drive to downtown. Also near the freeway. The property does have a decent size pool with a spa. Lounge area with sun beds offered as well. The gym which is just around the corner from the lobby and looks out to the dining patio around the front. Decent machine and equipment. They do offer a continental breakfast in the morning. I believe it goes on till 10am. Your usual, scrambled eggs and sausage. Toast and bagels, fruits, yogurt and oatmeal, cereal, and not to be missed the waffle maker. There's an also a selection of juices and coffee and tea. For the rate it was good. Location wise was excellent. Decent hotel which could also be budget friendly. There's loads of option in the style of room you can choose from. Overall, stay was good for an overnight. It's also pet friendly for an additional fee. Con, some of the bathroom toiletries were empty. The lotion dispenser next to the sink was completely emptied. Wasn't worth trying to get it refill as we were leaving the next morning but it would have been nice to have that night.

My daughter would prefer to eat out, lol. Overall, fairly happy with our room; see pictures. Clean enough. But don't think this is the safest part of town...? Or at least it was not last night. When I walked back to my car the next morning, some idiot threw garbage everywhere?!?! And there was a garbage can like 10 feet away. The employee saw me picking it up and told me to stop as he was going to do it. Good service. The breakfast was better than expected, but far from good. I was just expecting a continental breakfast, but the hot waffles were nice. Sadly the batter was not a wow, so my daughter wins as we will probably go out for breakfast after this breakfast, lol. We shared my plate and moved on. We get spoiled at Embassy Suites. Hot eggs, sausages, etc. See all the breakfast pictures. Indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast. Atmosphere - More of a motel setting if you ask me. We definitely did NOT get a suite?!?! So unlike Embassy Suites where EVERY room is a suite; that does NOT apply here. But then again, they were half the price. Their website says their rooms are fully renovated, and I can see all the cosmetic updates. Nice good size lobby. Good size breakfast room, not many customers when we finally went to breakfast. Pool, we did not use it. Plenty of parking. Open 24 hours. Their website said family friendly. But I am not sure I 100% agree with that, with their current clientele. Also available that I did not use - The fitness center, wifi, pet friendly, meeting spaces, etc. Service - The front desk people were good. The team working breakfast did NOT talk at all?!?! But hard workers. Not sure if they even responded when I said good morning. Price - $127, reasonably priced for what we got. Again, half the price. Owner Comment - Overall we got our $$ worth, but I reminded my daughter (again) that our last night is supposed to be in Paso Robles, closer to the winery and closer to going back to the bay.
