BE WARNED! - Potential Deposit Scam…read more My fiance and I found Mira Vista as a prospective wedding venue, and instantly fell in love. The property is beautiful. We got in contact with the property and excitedly put a deposit down with the property manager, Melanie Greer. Unfortunately, that is where the excitement ends. You hear the term "Bridezilla" often. I'm not sure what the property manger equivalent is, but Melanie has been a terror to deal with. In the contract, it states that all vendors must be approved- which is understandable. Soon after signing the contract, we realized this meant any vendor that is not in Melanie's circle would go through hell. We were very clear with our budget before signing the contract(you don't get the vendor list until after you sign). After receiving the list we realized that if we were to only use her vendors, we'd be able to afford 1/4th of a wedding. For example- for a wedding coordinator on Melanie's vendor list, the starting price for a "day of" coordinator is around 4k+, and did not allow contact until 2 months before the wedding. We found a wonderful coordinator, with 20 years of experience, available at any time, for around 2k. Melanie tried every excuse in the book to avoid approving her. One of her excuses was that our coordinator's "Santa Barbara business license wouldn't work in Paso Robles". Our coordinator could(and maybe should) have given up out of pure frustration. Luckily for us, she is a true professional. Our coordinator assembled a call with members of both city councils of Santa Barbara and Paso Robles(and her lawyer) and educated Melanie of her false statement. Our coordinator was finally approved. We were already beyond frustrated by working with Melanie, but took the win. Everything should be smooth from here out, right?? WRONG My fiance and her bride's maids planned a trip from Orange County to Paso Robles to visit the venue. The first attempt, Melanie confirmed, and then canceled. No big deal, she gave us a different weekend that would work for her, and offered my fiance a free Boudior shoot on location to make up for the inconvenience. My fiance and her bridesmaids drove up from Orange County Saturday morning 1/28, and stayed at an airbnb for the night, since the tour was in the morning. Today(1/29), my fiance recieved a call from Melanie, 30 minutes before the tour, stating that there were guests staying on the property for the weekend and that she could not see the venue. She asked if they could come at 1pm. She stated that she had no idea that there were guests until this morning. When she arrived to meet my fiance and her bridesmaids prior to the tour, she slipped up and stated she knew the day prior(she lied, let my fiance and her friends drive up, knowing that there were guests) I spoke with Melanie on the phone, and she blamed it on the rental company, and said that she specifically told them not to book guests for the weekend. I asked if I could see the email chain where she told them this. To my surprise, she did send me an email, but this email chain shows that she was aware there was a possibility of guests(there is an email from the rental company stating they didn't want to block out the weekend). During the meet up between Melanie, my fiance, her bridesmaids and our wedding coordinator, Melanie acknowledged there was a huge mistake, and that she would understand if we wanted to walk away(with half our deposit.). She made no attempt to remedy the situation, which leads me to belive she is purposely making this difficult in order to get us to pull out, while pocketing the deposit money. This is a new venue. Possible deposit scam. Beware. Like I said, the property is beautiful, but I wouldn't wish Melanie on anyone. You only get one special day, and unfortunately, we will still need to work with Melanie for ours. As she refuses to provide the property owners contact information, I am hoping they see this so they know what is going on.

I fell in love with Mira Vista Estate when looking for a wedding venue in Paso Robles. Melanie…read moreGreer was my point of contact and she has been very thorough with assisting with the whole wedding process! As we all know planning a wedding can get a little stressful. She has been very open with providing me with ideas of vendors and even helped us when we were struggling getting in touch with our caterers. I feel very lucky to be working so closely with someone who has such knowledge of Paso Robles. She also has an amazing heart, and just wants to see the couples just happy and stress free. Mira Vista Estate is stunning! I truly wish I could live there and have that breathtaking view each day!

Also, If you don't care about your expensive wedding dress, it won't be worth a penny after your wedding since you will be dragging it in the soil before you get to the preachers podium. The landscape is embarrassing and unkempt. Granted, there are a few kool old cars and antiques, but unless you want to walk around in a dusty environment, it is not worth it to me. Also, the caterer ran out of food before the tenth table and I think there were at least twelve. On the positive side, the staff was friendly to the guests.

Upon arrival at the winter market, there are maybe 6-7 food trucks. Hot cocoa and S'more supplies are sold to make around their bonfire pits. It was crowded and we couldn't find a pit so we went into the barn to meet Santa. In the barn, the magician performed all sorts of fun magic for the kids. Later when the crowd dies down, around 1930, it was really nice. There were no lines for pony rides. The entire thing was pretty special. They have lots of things for the kids to do. The maze, fake snow, face painting and even drinks for the adults. I would do this again.

It reopened in mid-2025 after a major renovation took place - which was definitely needed due to extreme structural issues. The original Veterans Hall was built in 1875 as the Cass Warehouse. The building was closed for almost ten years, and has now been restored with a commercial kitchen, outdoor patio and modern event spaces. There are ongoing yoga classes with more activities and events being added all the time. It serves as a community gathering spot for events like weddings, parties and meetings.

The couple getting married did a good job decorating the place, but it was hard to hide the fact that the building was really run down and kind of ugly. The kitchen / serving area or the buffet was also pretty skinny and crowded, making it hard to get your food. They do have a built in stage, which those who want some kind of head table might like. Oh, and the exterior seriously needs a new paint job! I imagine this is a fairly cheap rental for a large group of people (there were at least 250 people attending the wedding), but it's kind of one of those "you get what you pay for" situations. I do give them a second star because the beach location is nice, and people getting married on the beach is always cool. I'd probably have the reception on the beach itself instead of in the veterans hall!

This place is really well kept. The rooms and linens were clean and overall a nice stay. The rooms…read morewere also pretty quiet for a busy holiday weekend so that was a nice bonus. Unwind & relax were much appreciated. With that said, not sure if the price was worth it. It was on the higher end $500+/ night and totally get that everywhere around town was booked but we only had access to our room and outdoor shared space. I guess I thought the main lodge area with seating and farm style dining table would be open but it was all locked and dark. I think it's a lovely place but wouldn't stay here again. I'm sure others might like it for the price and location. There's lots to do around town so highly recommend visiting Paso Robles in general.
