Holly Farm

e fell in love, and even more so once we got to meet Erin, Ryan, and the amazing staff that take care of the property. Their love and dedication to this special place are felt in every fern, flower and each corner of their on-location cabanas, truly making this place feel like our home and one we couldn't wait for others to experience. There are many places to host a wedding, but this place made us feel at home and like family. This was what we wanted more than anything. To this day, we are met with attendees expressing rekindled relationships, love, and good memories that were made that weekend. I hope this helps bring a sense of peace and excitement to all those seeking a place where they can also feel free.

d it truly shows just how much attention and detailed they put into everything. The staff that have been here for 10 plus years and have built a career off of being the best of the best. Each detail, each event is carefully crafted and there's so much attention given into making every day a special day. Initially the reason why we came was because there wasn't a curfew which allows us to continue the party making it seem like it was one smooth transition that way you don't get the abrupt ending at where suddenly everything just stops and the wedding venue kicks you out. But after realizing that was just a taste of how fun venues can be - we got to experience the true magic of Holly Farms. We definitely will be trying to come back for another event. For anyone considering it for the first time you can't go wrong

challenging because I tend to avoid getting too excited about things, be understated, and resist ever posting a review online, but that bias is not showing up in the way me and my now-wife feel/talk about Holly Farm. Initially, we thought we wanted beachfront or vineyard for our wedding, but the moment we walked onto the Holly Farm the calculus changed very quickly. The property is stunning. Erin and Ryan - who manage the property and most things leading up to the wedding and day of - are incredible people and are now our friends for life even if they don't know it yet... but I think they do. The vendors they use are no less exceptional at what they do. The whole weekend was obviously incredibly special for us, but what also mattered was a weekend to remember for the others in our life that we love. And the wedding reviews we've been getting from friends and family are overwhelming in their praise, sincerity, and frequency (like, alright mom you've already told me 13 times how much fun you had. I get it and everyone else knew it!) Now I bizarelly feel a special kinship with others who have gotten married at Holy Farm too, like all these reviewers below me. There is not a single thing we would change and that's because we listened to Erin's advice. If you're lucky enough to stumble upon this place and find a date that works, don't think twice. Book it and cancel your other wedding venue appointments. We're already looking at vow renewal dates to lock in a weekend for 2023.

From the first moment my now husband and I stepped on to the property and met Erin and Ryan, we knew we had to get married there. The capability to be able to stay at your venue for multiple days is seriously like no other place. We felt as though we had been transported to another world for the weekend, it was extremely relaxing. We were able to hold multiple events on the property before the wedding and spend time with each and every guest so that on the day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to spend time together dancing as much as we wanted without having to worry we have said hi to everyone. This made the experience soo special. Erin and Ryan are some of the most special humans on this earth. They are incredible at what they do. You do not need an additional wedding planner when you work with Holly Farm as they help you with every detail starting on day 1. They have so much experience in this business and can make miracles happen. They have many vendors that they work seamlessly with that they recommend (I went with most of their suggestions and each one was absolutely incredible). I felt so relaxed the entire weekend knowing Erin and Ryan would take care of everything. If I got married 100 times over I would do it here every time. There is literally no better place out there to celebrate your love than Holly Farm.

ow detailed and thoughtful the staff were in executing a gorgeous, fun, and intimate event. Now having been married there, we can attest that the amount of care, thoughtfulness, and effort Erin, Ryan, Gus, Rosa, and El Guapo put into their guests can not be exaggerated. We were truly able to float through our wedding weekend with ease, joy, and gratitude. While planning, I found that vendors were thrilled when we told them our venue and it's easy to see why. Beyond the professionalism and efficiency of the staff, every little nook of the venue has something special to offer. Since the space is literally dripping in greenery and orchids, you don't need to do much, if anything at all, to add to it - meaning you can save funds on one-off decor and event needs. The caterer they work with, La Creme Monterey, is truly stellar and knows the space so well that there's no need to play point guard between them and the venue. Wedding days and weekends are simply intense, and it's such a gift to be able to enjoy your own wedding. The folks at The Holly Farm really make sure to do everything they can to make that happen. We count ourselves amongst the lucky ones to have been able to get married in such a special place.

arsal dinner, I was greeted by all the staff with huge smiles and by the co-owners Erin + Ryan who were so joyful and willing to show me around for all the best photo spots. As I was being shown around, I realized this is a family owned business and they literally pour their heart and soul into the upkeep of the venue, tending to their clients needs as if they were family AND taking care of their vendors. They care so much about the people who enter that space and will treat you like family. EVERY single person I came into contact who works there said they love their job so much (it was obvious by the real joy and smiles, nothing forced here) and the guests were all having the best time ever. Their experience is top notch, which is honestly icing on the cake for what is already a visually stunning wedding venue. As a photographer, we always want what is best for our couples and I can tell you that The Holly Farm is hands down the best place for an unforgettable wedding weekend experience. Can't wait to come back here in the future <3 Hugs to the team! You rock!

their whole team (that feels more like a family) make you feel so incredibly comfortable and like you don't have a thing to worry about, but enjoy your weekend. All of their recommendations from lawn games, to rehearsal dinner, and every wedding detail were incredible and so perfect! Erin and Ryan do an amazing job of recommending decor and all of the details to make your vision come to life. When you see the venue it is so insanely beautiful with the lush landscape of beautiful plants. The orchids are so striking and you can just see in how well maintained every detail is that it is really a labor of love for their family. Everyone who attended our wedding has not stopped telling us how amazing it was and that it was the most fun, coolest venue they have ever been to! We LOVE The Holly Farm and are so thankful for Erin, Ryan, and the whole team that made our wedding dreams a reality!

ng parry was able to stay onsite with us throughout the entire wedding weekend. The beautiful scenery, amazing staff, and atmosphere allowed for us to have our dream wedding! If you are looking for an outdoor venue that will wow your guests the Holly Farm is definitely the place!

xcept celebrating with our loved ones. We hosted many activities and events at the Holly Farm (welcome dinner, game day, rehearsal dinner, ceremony/reception, and brunch) and everything went off without a hitch. Erin, Ryan, their parents, and the Holly Farm staff (Gus and Rosa deserve a special shout out) are incredible. They take everything you bring (pillows, photos, candles, etc.) and display them throughout the venue and then change the locations for the next day. Each event led seamlessly into the next and our guests were constantly in awe of every new location at The Holly Farm. The Holly Farm has a tailored list of their preferred vendors, which made finding vendors a lot easier. Definitely go with Laughin’ Gal Floral (Amanda is amazing!) and DJ Antonio. With the exception of the caterer, you can also choose vendors not on the list. We chose our own photographer, The Goodness, and loved how the venue worked with our photographers to make sure everything went smoothly. There will be times when you don’t hear back very quickly and it takes a while to get answers, but that is because their current wedding is their utmost priority, which I didn’t fully appreciate until my wedding weekend arrived. You truly cannot go wrong with this venue. The love and dedication the Moses family puts into this venue shows in every single interaction and their attention to every detail. We felt so taken care of and loved throughout the entire weekend. Once you choose this venue, everything else will fall into place.

ghtfulness, support, encouragement, and beauty. To have our wedding here, with someone I shared 12 years of my life with...it really is hard to comprehend how I felt. It is the most magical dreamy eclectic place I have ever been. Every time someone asked me where we're getting married, and I said Carmel, they would be like "Ohhh cool, a beach wedding." NAH DUDE, it will be in a jungle. Full of wild tropical poisonous plants. The look they'd give when I said that --priceless. LOL. If you are a plant/flower-lover, you WILL DIE of happiness here. The Moses family, Erin, Ryan, Rosa, Gus, and their staff -- they are the most amazing people on Earth. Behind the most beautiful place were even more beautiful people, I could not be more happy to have shared such an important day with them at their special special place. Advice for future guests of the Holly Farm: Listen to their advice, get the candles, get the pillows, get the lanterns, do the whiskey bar. Get it all. You will not regret it. Your guests will thank you for it. Your guests will come out with 100000 IG-worthy photos. Yes, it is worth it!

h surprises sprinkled down every path. Tropical plants sprout along walkways, orchids peak out from the shadows and the trees stretch high to the skies. As the sun sets into night thousands of twinkling lights sparkle from branches all over and the place takes on a glow as if millions of small fireflies have suddenly arrived to partake in the festivities. This place is nearly indescribable, even the best photographers only scrape the surface in covering its magical beauty. The Holly Farm is family owned and is run like a well oiled machine by the Moses Family and their impeccable staff. They are wedding and hospitality experts. From the planning of festivities to your stay, every detail is thoroughly covered and carefully considered. Our wedding here was an absolute dream.

he Moses Family was a true pleasure to work with - they are incredibly passionate and dedicated to making each couple feel like part of the family. The majority of event coordination went through our wedding planner, Michelle Lee at Simply Events, and I was floored with the final execution. To the Moses Family and the Holly Farm crew - We can't thank you enough for the most formidable, extraordinary wedding weekend a couple could ask for!

to follow up on. Its helpful in keeping us on track. We're really looking forward to an awesome weekend!

he weekend wedding package they provide to the sleeping accomodations for the entire wedding party and family. I especially loved the set up of the venue it is unlike any wedding facility out there. The venue take guests on a journey through this tropical place and embark upon a beautiful wedding.;There is nothing I would warn people about this venue. The Holly Farm has there stuff together and I would advise all brides and grooms to check this place out.
