The perfect venue on a budget!!

Going into our wedding we didn’t want to spend to much but we also wanted a venue that we would be happy with. The Historic Santa Maria Inn was perfect for what we wanted both in budget and in what we wanted it to look like. The ceremony area is beautiful, especially with the fountain! And the garden area was perfect for the reception. Everything looked very nice! The team they have is also very nice and very helpful through the whole process. Malinda, our wedding coordinator was fantastic! Helped very much with final touches and also the day off! We are happy that we chose this as our wedding venue!

Lauren is the best!

The Historic Santa Maria Inn is gorgeous! We got married in the Fountain Courtyard, and everything went very smooth! Lauren made sure we had everything we needed and ensured that my husband and I were able to eat and could relax. Highly reccomend!!
