The entire fourteen key estate, yours for the weekend, with everyone you love asleep a hundred steps away.
Tell us the month and the size of your list.
Six suites and two bungalows in the main house on Edison Street. Six standalone bungalows a short walk down Sagunto Street. Twenty eight of your people sleep on the property, breakfast is made every morning, and wine and charcuterie appear every evening without anyone asking.
The restaurants and tasting rooms of downtown Santa Ynez are on foot from the front door, so the rehearsal dinner and the last drink of the night need no car at all.
One address for the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the long dinner and the slow farewell breakfast. No shuttles between a venue and a hotel, no last call that sends everyone driving down a dark valley road.
Ceremony under the gazebo, cocktails on the porch, dinner in the wine garden, and the night landing at the fire pit. Every bed is a hundred steps from where you said your vows.
One takes over the whole property. One is just the two of you and the few people who matter most. Neither asks you to scale a large wedding down. And if you are marrying elsewhere in the valley, the third is where your people stay.
The whole property, yours for the weekend
Sixteen to forty guests
The estate is yours alone. The ceremony, the long dinner and the slow morning after all happen at one address, and everyone sleeps where they celebrated.
Elopements and ceremonies for your closest few
Two to fifteen guests
No buyout. A ceremony and a dinner for your closest few, midweek or off season, with the quiet of the estate carrying on around you.
Where your people stay, gather and land
Any number of guests
You marry at a vineyard or an estate nearby, and this is where your people stay, gather the night before and land the morning after.
This is the running order most couples land on, Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. Most of it is already part of every stay here: the welcome party is our evening aperitif, and the farewell brunch is breakfast.
Check in runs from four to six, then everyone gathers in the wine garden for local wine, charcuterie, flatbreads and seasonal bites. Your welcome party, included in every stay.
Walk to S.Y. Kitchen, Trattoria Grappolo or Leonardo’s. Our concierge holds the table for your party.
A homemade breakfast for the whole party, specialty coffee all morning, then hair and makeup in the getting ready suite.
Under the oaks, with the estate closed to everyone but your guests. Twenty minutes that the whole weekend is built around.
Marble bistro tables, valley light, one hour while the wine garden is turned for dinner.
Under the conservatory, up to forty seated, with wine from the vineyards a few minutes up the road. The garden comes down at eight.
An hour by the fire while the garden is cleared, then the night carries on inside the main house. Nobody drives. Every bed is a hundred steps away.
Coffee, breakfast and a slow goodbye on the porch before a ten o’clock checkout.
Your own timeline is set with our day of coordinator once the date is held, and every hour of it can move.
Six spaces on the estate, each with a job and a number.
Forty seated under the oaks, with the estate closed to everyone but your guests. The twenty minutes the weekend is built around.
Valley light while the wine garden is turned for dinner. Marble bistro tables the length of the house.
Round tables under the conservatory, up to forty seated, with wine from the vineyards a few minutes up the road.
Where the night lands once the garden is cleared, before it moves inside the main house. Nobody drives, and every bed is a hundred steps away.
Room for six or more through hair and makeup, with specialty coffee arriving all morning and the whole house awake around you.
Indoors and already yours, whatever the weather does.
No other venue in this valley comes with a polo field. La Herradura sits minutes up Baseline Avenue, founded by Memo and Meghan Gracida.
Spend the day fieldside with the club, or take a first swing at The Polo School, where the two hour intro clinics need no riding experience at all. Then come home to the estate for dinner.
Available on request, subject to the club calendar. The ceremony itself happens here at the estate, under the gazebo.
Downtown Santa Ynez is on foot from your room, so the rehearsal dinner and the last drink of the night need no car at all. Everything below is a short drive, and our concierge can arrange the cars so nobody in your party has to think about it.
The 8-Goal Series runs from September into October, and the season closes with finale weekend on October 10 and 11.
Your guests on a well schooled pony with a mallet in hand, whether or not they have ever ridden.
Balloons at dawn, horseback through golden hills, fifteen of the valley’s wineries and the tables of three towns.
Not seated on the property. Forty is an honest ceiling, and it is the reason a wedding here feels the way it does. If your list is larger, tell us anyway: we will point you to venues in the valley that fit, and we can still host your closest people and the weekend around the wedding.
The wine garden closes at 8:00 pm and the other outdoor areas at 9:00 pm, with quiet hours across the property from 9:00 pm to 9:00 am. That is the standing policy for every guest, and it exists because of the county ordinance and our neighbors in town. The evening carries on inside the main house, which is where most of our couples end up anyway. If your celebration needs later outdoor hours, raise it on the first call: it is a conversation with the county, not something we can promise on a web page.
Yes. Children ages two to eleven are $25 a night and children under two stay free. Plenty of couples here still choose an adults only celebration, and we are glad to run it either way. Pets are welcome in Bungalows 1 to 6 for a $75 fee per stay.
You will need a Santa Barbara County marriage license and a licensed officiant. Both are straightforward, and we can recommend officiants who marry couples here regularly.
Tell us the month and the size of your list, and we will come back to you with what is possible here.
