Kennolyn Events

Hermoso lugar

Getting married at Kennolyn was our dream come true. Kennolyn was the first venue we toured, and we ended up cancelling our tours for other venues because we knew it was the one. The views here are stunning. You can see the ocean from the hacienda, and are surrounded by Santa Cruz redwood beauty. Our guests had so many wonderful things to say about how gorgeous it was! But the setting was not even the best part of Kennolyn. Their staff is top notch. Our coordinator was Deirdre, and she was so great to work with. She was super communicative and accommodating, and provided regular check-ins to make sure we were prepared for wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she made everything go off without a hitch. From pinning my dress for me when the bustle broke, to tracking down guests, and even going out of her way to drop off the leftover cake that we'd forgotten to a local bridesmaid--we were so appreciative! We had a guest with a few unique dietary restrictions at our wedding, and Deirdre made sure to communicate that to the cook beforehand to ensure there were options she could eat. The cook even took the time to speak with our guest at her table, and provided her with a separate dish to accommodate her needs. Those small details made all the difference for us. We also loved the food, and were stoked that Kennolyn had so many decorations that we were able to borrow so that we didn't need to provide much ourselves. We definitely recommend this venue for anyone who wants a picture-perfect Santa Cruz wedding!

The venue was obviously love at first sight, but the amount of time and expertise Kennolyn staff were able to offer us along the way was really extraordinary. On the day of, they ran such a tight ship and were so accommodating of our various asks, especially the sparkler exit! So many of our guests raved about the venue, the food (especially the focaccia!), and how smoothly the night flowed. We could not be happier that we chose Kennolyn. We had an unbelievable time and wish we could relive every moment of the day.

We went here for a wedding on the 21st night of September! Best tag line for their wedding. I have some photos but I'm having a hard time loading it right now but who would have known about this place. If you are planning an intimate wedding check this place out. Its always great to venture into places that are not on the radar. It makes you unique!

We had our wedding at Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda this summer and we were completely thrilled with the experience from start to finish. The staff was so responsive - our coordinator Elyse even answered our email on a holiday. It was the most beautiful day we could have possibly imagined.
