Ella's Vineyard in Creston, CA, is a rustic wedding venue nestled in the very heart of the Golden State's illustrious wine country. For more than five years, the Morris family has opened their sun-drenched property to couples across the West Coast. Whether an intimate elopement or a large, lavish gathering, owners Katherine and Josh look forward to hosting you and your loved ones as you say hello to a newly minted union.
Straddling the coast and country, Ella's Vineyard offers the very best of both worlds and invites couples to explore the beauty of its indoor and outdoor venues. A designated ceremony site, distinguished by an age-old oak tree, sits just steps from the 3,000-square-foot farmhouse. Perched on the property's highest point, you won't be missing out on those all-important vineyard panoramas. As you pose for your portraits, invite your guests for a cocktail or two at the outdoor bar, complete with a photo booth, an open-air cinema, and a spacious lawn for fun and games before the evening begins. Once dusk spreads across the California sky, Katherine, Josh, and their team will prepare their classic, wood-build barn for the banquet and after-party. Afterward, you and up to 14 of your loved ones can treat yourselves to an exquisite stay at the farmhouse, where breathtaking sunrises beam through wide, shuttered windows.
With 15 years of experience in event coordination, Katherine and her team are fully prepared to take your party planning by the reigns.

The Morris Family
Owner
Proprietors Katherine and Josh Morris along with their three children - Grace, Ella and Colton - count themselves beyond blessed to call the Central Coast their home. For five years, they've owned and operated Ella's Vineyard with a very personal approach. Most days you'll find Katherine meeting with couples to go over wedding details or pouring wine in the tasting room while Josh is usually driving a tractor, tending to the vineyard or blending wines. Their labor is one of tenacity and love and they can't wait to share that passion with every person that visits the vineyard or tasting room.
Anna Watterworth
Venue Manager
We first met Anna and her husband, HT, in 2012 when they got married at our sister property, The Grace Maralyn Estate. Fast forward ten years and Anna is now coordinating and managing events at Ella's Vineyard. With over 7 years of professional experience in the wedding industry, she brings the perfect balance of energy, sweetness, vision, organization and down-to-earth practicality to every one of our events. She's a mother of two girls (Lilly and Quinn), loves cheering for the Raiders (don't hold it against her) and will stop at nothing to make sure your event goes off without a hitch. Our clients rave about Anna's attentiveness, ability to adapt and never-ending cheerfulness. She's been an incredible addition to our team and we're so thankful to have her.

We can not say enough positive things about Ella's. We fell in love with the farmhouse property immediately after our first venue tour! Kat recommended we visit the Ella's tasting room after viewing the property and that is what locked in our decision to have our wedding at Ella's, beautiful venue and amazing wine! Kat and Anna were always very responsive and helpful, which helped put my wedding planning anxiety at ease. We appreciated the creative freedom we were allowed at Ella's with bringing in other vendors. Even though we did end up choosing most vendors from the preferred vendor list and they did not disappoint. I loved the convenience of staying on property in the farmhouse throughout all the wedding activities, plus the views from every room can not be beat! Josh was onsite for all of the wedding weekend activities and we are so grateful for everything he did! You will not be disappointed when choosing Ella's for your wedding!

Ella's Vineyard is the BEST. We instantly fell in love with the property when we toured it and can't recommend it enough. We had a smaller wedding (50 people) and Ella's worked out perfectly.
The setting is absolutely stunning - all our guests commented on how gorgeous it was. The property is so beautiful that we hardly needed florals or decor.
Having the Airbnb onsite and access to the grounds for the full weekend was a big factor for us. Having everyone stay in the house together for the full weekend was so special and allowed us to have more quality time with our friends. It also made getting ready the day of the wedding a breeze. We hosted our welcome party onsite at the property the day before the wedding too.
The owners Kat and Josh are super friendly and helped us throughout the planning process. They were awesome to work with. This venue is more on the DIY side (you need to source all your own vendors). This is a pro for couples who want a lot of customization or are on a budget.
We didn't have the best experience with the onsite coordinator, Anna. We had hired her as our day of coordinator for an additional fee so our experience might be more unique. She was very helpful in the planning process and leading up to the wedding but missed the mark when it came to executing the event. Overall it was still an amazing day.

I couldn’t say enough good things about Ella’s Vineyard. They truly go above and beyond for their couples and their couple’s guests. My husband and I hosted our post-elopement reception here, and it was the perfect location to celebrate with our friends and family. The house was perfect to house my in-laws and the lawn hosted the perfect intimate and beautiful reception dinner. I’ve attended 2 weddings at Ella’s Vineyard, in addition to my own reception, and it’s always a treat to come back to such a beautiful venue.

Ella's Vineyard is the absolute best wedding venue! From start to finish the Ella's team was extremely accommodating and helpful.
The ceremony site is stunning, we got married under the oak tree, they provide benches which is perfect. We had minimal decorations at our ceremony site due to the surrounding beauty of the property. The reception site is perfect on top of a hill with vineyards surrounding, a dream. Farmhouse tables/chairs are available (a must in my opinion). They have a bar on site which is so cute and we danced the night away in the barn.
We stayed at the house on-site for 3 days leading up to our wedding. Each morning I watched the sunrise over the vineyards, it was magical.
On the day of the wedding, the Ella's team has everything under control, from shuttling guests to the ceremony site, making last minute adjustments, and just being overall friendly. Look no further and book Ella's!!!

Words cannot describe how stunning Ella’s vineyard is! You can see all the love and hard work that has gone into this family-owned venue. From the giant oak tree that we got married under to the farmhouse that we stayed in all weekend, this venue was everything my husband and I dreamed of for our wedding. 360-degree views of Paso Robles wine country and the most beautiful sunsets from almost every spot on the property, we could not have picked a more perfect place to have all our friends and family come together and celebrate us. On top of that, we got to stay in the farmhouse the entire weekend.
Kat and Josh were the nicest people to work with. They were there every step of the way to ensure the wedding ran smoothly, and they even took us to their new tasting room in Tin City the next day! We will always look back at this special place and reminisce on how amazing the weekend was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to enjoy the best day of our lives on your property.

My husband & I hosted our wedding reception at Ella's Vineyard in May, and we cannot express enough how thrilled we were with our experience. From start to finish, our journey with Ella's Vineyard was exceptional, and it exceeded our expectations in every way.
To begin with, the wedding planning process was a breeze thanks to Katherine, the venue coordinator. She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and patient, promptly addressing all of our questions and working with our schedule to set up several venue walk throughs.
The venue itself is nothing short of incredible. The moment we laid eyes on Ella's Vineyard, we knew we had found the perfect setting for our special day. The picturesque barn adorned with twinkling lights created the romantic atmosphere we had envisioned. One of the highlights was the bar area, which we loved from our very first tour. The fact that we could serve beer on tap with kegs from our favorite brewery added an extra touch of uniqueness to our celebration.
Being able to stay in the house on the property throughout the entire weekend was a truly magical experience. It not only provided convenience but also added an intimate and personal touch to our wedding. Getting ready there on the big day was a joyous and memorable experience that set the perfect tone for the festivities to come.
Our guests were in awe of the venue as well. The flow of the event was flawlessly designed to accommodate our 150 guests comfortably. We hosted our cocktail hour & dancing immediately in front of the barn, and dinner at the top of the hill. The sunset while we ate made for an unforgettable moment, offering breathtaking views and creating an ambiance that left everyone speechless.
Ella's Vineyard left such a lasting impression on us that we are already looking forward to future visits. Whether it's renting the house on Airbnb for anniversaries or stopping by the tasting room for a glass of wine next time we're in Tin City, we can't wait to return and relive the incredible memories we made on our special day.
As a small suggestion to future couples, we recommend arranging shuttle transportation or advising guests to pre-schedule taxis. Some of our guests faced challenges securing Uber rides after the reception. However, this minor inconvenience did not dampen our overall exceptional experience at Ella's Vineyard.
Thank you to Katherine, Anna & the entire team for making our wedding day a truly unforgettable experience!

We held our wedding at Ella's Vineyard on 5.6.2023 and I can not say enough great things about this venue. Kat was so helpful and easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. Every vendor of ours told us how much they loved working with Ella's Vineyard, again, making the planning and coordinating so easy! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the property and views were. The house on property is just icing on the cake to this amazing venue. Amazing views from every room and stocked with anything and everything you will need. Sitting on the porch with my morning coffee and taking in the beauty was the perfect way to start my wedding day! I wish I could go back and relive the day over again - it was everything we ever wanted! There's just something magical about Ella's Vineyard and you feel it as soon as you step on the property.

It is the perfect venue! We would do it all over again if we could. Katherine at Ella's made everything from the planning through the morning after so seamless and enjoyable. The vineyard and farmhouse are the most beautiful backdrop for any event. The house was the perfect place to host our wedding party over the weekend. We're so grateful to have found this special spot and would recommend to anyone!

We had such an amazing wedding weekend with Ella’s Vineyard as our venue! We were so grateful to have a “home base” for our wedding weekend, and appreciated the option to have our rehearsal at the property the day before as well.
The owners were super helpful throughout the whole planning process. The house and grounds are gorgeous - we especially loved the fact that you can see the ceremony spot we picked (the Oak tree in the lower vineyards) from nearly every room in the house. Both us and our guests loved the different areas the venue had to offer - would 100% recommend Ella’s Vineyard as a wedding venue!

We recently got married at Ella's Vineyard on July 31, 2021. We had postponed our summer 2020 wedding and ended up changing our original venue for Ella's five months before the wedding- due to restrictions. And what a blessing. Ella's Vineyard ended up being the best decision we made. Katherine and her husband are the kindest owners. She always answered our questions and worked with us during the stressful venue change. Every guest raved about how stunning the location was. Even though it was a hot summer day, the location provides shade and a nice breeze so it went unnoticed. People couldn't state enough how beautiful the wedding venue was. The house on the venue was incredibly convenient and everything is set up to have your wedding run smoothly. It was the best day of our lives and I would recommend Ella's Vineyard to anyone wanting to get married in Central Coast.

I cannot thank Katherine and the Ella's Vineyard team enough for making my wedding day the most peaceful, joyful day of my life. This was our second venue after our first fell through and we believe that Ella's Vineyard was a major upgrade. First, Katherine held a private tasting for our families before the rehearsal dinner so that they could taste all of the wines for the wedding day. Also, all of my bridesmaids stayed with me on the property for the duration of the wedding weekend. Finally, Katherine worked with us tirelessly to make sure every detail was perfect - even things that had never been done on the property before. If you are considering a central coast wedding, there is simply no place like Ella's Vineyard. The peaceful, family environment there will make your wedding day so much more than an event - it will make it a truly breathtaking experience.

Ella's Vineyard is simply amazing (which is an understatement). Josh, Katherine and their team were perfection from beginning to end. We visited the property many times to plan out our special day, and Josh made it happen each in every time and was always so patient and kind with our son asking a million questions. He not only made our dream day happen, but helped us create a special experience for our friends and family for our rehearsal.
The accommodations are definitely worth it and it was amazing to be able to share the weekend in the beautiful house (perfectly decorated by Katherine) with our friends and family.
The location and property are simply stunning, beautiful, tranquil and magical (the views of the sunrise and sunsets are out of this world), but it is the people working there that make this place special. They are such a hardworking and gracious team and we can never thank them enough for making our day perfect.
We fell in love from the first visit and we will be Ella's Vineyard members for life.
P.S. Josh and team make KILLER wine! Ella's members for life!

Ella’s Vineyard was the most beautiful venue. When we went to look at it I saw the oak tree where ceremonies can be held and I didn’t need to see more. This was it! Katherine and Josh are the most helpful, caring and dedicated people when you choose their venue. The house is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The wedding went off without a hitch. Everything was gorgeous. The rustic farm tables and chairs were beautiful! There was nothing about our wedding day we would change! We were so happy with everything! I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else.
