Green Oaks Creek Farm Reviews

Green Oaks Creek Farm was a wonderful place to have our wedding. We wanted to host our friends and family in a place where we could all gather for the weekend and spend time together. This was the perfect venue for that. The scenery is outstanding, from the wildflowers on the farm to the view of the ocean to the fire pit in the evenings. Our out of town guest especially enjoyed visiting this hidden part of coastal California. The fact that it was available for the whole weekend really made it work for us. The farm can accommodate guests who want to camp and those want to stay in hotels nearby; it was near enough to Santa Cruz to make logistics like a run to Costco for food on Friday easy; it felt relaxed and also classy. It’s definitely an outdoor venue, but with enough facilities to make it surprisingly practical (e.g. the little cabins where our parents stayed and we got dressed). Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the venue. Stephanie was extremely accommodating and a big part of making this happen. She suggested an outstanding wedding coordinator and helped us work out all the details when we had questions. If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding venue on the coast Green Oaks Creek Farm cannot be beat. The only thing we’re sad about is we can’t get married here again.

A stunning venue that really captures the natural essence of Pescadero. It is located right off CA-1 and overlooks the ocean with the mountains as its background. We cannot write enough about the venue's natural beauty! Stephanie, the owner, was also easy to work with. She was extremely flexible and gave us complete creative power to achieve our dream wedding. Thank you Green Oaks Creek Farm and Staff!!!!

We got married at GOCF in November 2022 and it was a *dream*. Steph & Paul are wonderful to work with and will do everything they can to support your vision and wedding vibe. The vast majority of our guests (110-115) were traveling from across the country, so we were eager to showcase the surrounding natural beauty and GOCF did not disappoint. Ocean views for the ceremony + a beautiful garden for cocktail hour + cozy campfire in the evening = perfection. Highly recommend for anyone interested in a relaxed, authentic, coastal wedding!

My husband and I were recently married at Green Oaks Creek Farm in late October and we highly recommend this beautiful venue and its fantastic owners, Stephanie and Paul. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue this is a beautiful option and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Below is a bit about the place and why we felt it stood out amongst the venues we looked at.

The setting:

GOCF is an organic farm off the Pacific Coast Highway, just south of Pescadero and the Pigeon Point Lighthouse. You come up a dirt road, past another beautiful farm and gaining some elevation along the way. The farm has many areas available for your use (at your discretion, and included), with a delightful garden among them.

We primarily used the event meadow and ceremony terrace. The ceremony terrace sits at the top of the property looking out over the small valley and some majestic trees with the ocean visible in the distance. The event meadow is below. It is a large open space with a dance floor, some decorative landscaping, a fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen.

The things that make this venue stand out, beyond the beautiful setting:

1.) The owners are very sweet people, easy going and happy to help - they are personally invested in the success of your wedding. They also have some vendor recommendations to help you get going - but the choice is yours (unlike some places we looked at).
2.) The property includes multiple locations where you might do your ceremony, take your pictures, or hold cocktail hours/receptions. The choice is yours - they are all included, you need only specify what you would like to do.
3.) The venue can easily accommodate a large crowd - but a smaller wedding such as we had can feel intimate and comfortable. It’s all in how you choose to use the space. Again, you have kind of a blank slate in that regard.
4.) Your rental includes multiple days over the weekend, which makes setup and cleanup a lot easier.
5.) The venue has some cabins available for lodging (extra fee) and some camping sites available as well.
6.) We found the rental fee to be a very good value.

My wife and I got married here in October. From the very first meeting with Stephanie it was clear this venue was special and the family who runs it especially kind. The entire process was very smooth and our beautiful ceremony and reception were beautiful. Our guests especially loved the outdoor setting and the stunning nature all around. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at this wonderful venue.

My husband and I had our wedding and reception (as well as a Friday night welcome bbq) at Green Oaks Creek Farm last month, in June 2022. The venue couldn't be in a more gorgeous setting and Stephanie was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. So many of our guests commented on how awe-inspiring the location was--with its ocean views, fields of flowers, and trees--and we couldn't agree more. The improvements that Stephanie and Paul have made in their post-fire rebuild were wonderful additions to our wedding festivities, including the dance floor, gorgeous stone firepit, string lighting, outdoor kitchen, and camping area. We were glad that there was on-site lodging available, too, as it made getting ready for the wedding easier and provided a good "home base" for us during the weekend. We've always loved this stretch of coastline and Green Oaks Creek Farm is now an extra special place for us to return to in the years to come!
