About this vendor
The Felton Guild is the perfect location for your special occasion. You can plan your entire event around the natural beauty of our outdoor facility. We provide two separate rooms that are located on opposite sides of the redwood cathedral, with different entrances for those who wish to have a more traditional entrance into their wedding or commitment ceremony. As you walk out of the redwoods onto our sunny garden lawn area, the wedding grove reception area is spacious enough to easily accommodate more than 200 guests. There is seating in the cathedral on redwood chairs and benches to accommodate around 100 guests, with plenty of standing room or space for more chairs if needed.

This venue truly is a hidden gem. It was the first venue we visited and after 10+ other ones, we still couldn’t get it out of our head. We got married in August, when the greenery ...
was full, so it meant the space was naturally beautiful and didn’t need as much florals or decor. Our guests all kept commenting on what a cozy, intimate, gorgeous space it was. The redwood grove ceremony was just stunning. We had 80 people total and it was the perfect size. Shout out to Kathy! She is a saint for responding to all my emails over the course of a year. From the get go, she was friendly, had a list of recommendations, and was transparent about any venue restrictions or needed rentals.
The drawbacks:
End time—it has an 8pm music cut off time due to a local noise ordinance. We ended up starting earlier in the day and reserved space at a bar in Santa Cruz for an after party, so it was fine but a logistical challenge. It meant our guests coming from San Jose had to drive during peak beach traffic time (it took some 2 and a half hours…) and we wanted to safely shuttle everyone to the after party so that was an extra cost.
All outdoor space—we were so lucky our weather was 80 and sunny with a light breeze. It was perfect. But let me tell you, I was a mess for a year until I could finally see the forecast. The sun also beat down on some guests and the dance floor for about an hour during the reception, but again this was during August.
Bathrooms—we originally estimated 100 guests and unfortunately there’s only one real bathroom so we needed to rent a trailer which was an additional $1200. It was okay as I wiggled the budget around a little, but ouch.
Would I have my wedding here again? Absolutely. Without a doubt. It was beautiful and unique. My recommendation is to be flexible with as much as you can and maybe book in fall when the sun is in a better position and you can add some lights for a cozy evening time.
We got married at Felton Guild in August 2014, and the experience was better than anything I could have imagined. Kathy, the events coordinator, was extremely friendly and professi...
onal from the first time we spoke to the day of the event. She was quick to respond to any questions/concerns that I had leading up to the event and on the day of. From the moment I stepped foot on the property during my initial tour, I knew that this was the perfect place to have the most important event of our lives. It's absolutely stunning. The redwood grove is majestic and intimate, and the well-groomed reception lawn offers a homey, backyard-style feel to the event—exactly what we were looking for. Our photographers had no problem finding a variety of great places to shoot on the property. We used the on-site restaurant, Oak Tree Ristorante, as our caterer, and it was the best decision. The entire staff was professional and courteous and the food was excellent. Every one of our guests spent the entire day smiling. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Book Felton Guild—you won't regret it!
The venue was everything I could of dreamed of. In the beautiful redwoods, we got married in a fairy circle which added to the beautiful theme we were going for.
This is an outdoor space tucked into the redwoods between houses and a restaurant. Until you explore the grounds you'll never appreciate it's beauty. A raw space with little to no ...
