Dominique Sloper
Events and Catering Manager
With over seven years in the events industry and a lifelong love for all things weddings, I’m thrilled to be part of your journey here at our venue! Though I officially joined the team in March 2025, I’m a local to the area and have always had a deep connection to this property—it’s a place full of possibility and potential, like a blank canvas waiting for your vision to be the paint. I hold a degree in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and I got my start working full time at a hotel front desk during college. One of my favorite parts of that job? Watching wedding days unfold in real-time—seeing the joy, the details, the nerves, and the magic come together. Even as a kid, I carried around a wedding planning notebook, sketching bouquets and dresses for all of my friends. Safe to say, I’ve always had a heart for this work. As the Events and Catering Manager, I’m here to help guide you through every detail on the venue side of things. I’ve had the joy of working with couples from all walks of life and have seen everything from timeless traditional ceremonies to steampunk soirées and all of the joyful moments in between. I believe your wedding should be your day—and I’m here to help bring that vision to life in a way that feels authentic, seamless, and uniquely you. Have a question about what works well here? I’m happy to share ideas. Have a wild idea of your own? As long as it’s safe and logistically possible, I say: let’s do it.

We had our ceremony and reception at Oceanpoint Ranch this past weekend. The venue was spectacular—gorgeous views, rustic beauty, everything was breathtaking. The staff was outstan...
ding, especially Pam the sales manager. Super responsive, and so helpful and flexible throughout the whole process. They also did the catering, which was not only convenient but also delicious. We did the chili bar and got so many comments on how good the food was. The chef was really outstanding, and they even accommodated a kids buffet which was such a hit with all our little friends. From start to finish, they really went above and beyond and everything exceeded our expectations. We had a bunch of our guests staying on site which made for such a special extended weekend running into everyone around the property. We also did an informal rehearsal gathering in the Moonstone Corral area with tacos, sliders, a bar and s’mores. Everyone had so much fun playing lawn games and roasting marshmallows around the firepits. Overall, I just can’t say enough about what an amazing venue this was. Highly recommend!

a lifetime!

Think twice, maybe three or four times, before wasting your time, trust and emotional energy on this venue. I'd say "you get what you pay for" but I never got the chance to pay any...
thing, thank goodness for that.
I initially connected with their former rep in December 2024 and communication was solid, they were quite flexible and informative about their offerings. This got my fiancé and I really excited and we decided this was our dream venue. We visit Moonstone a few times a year and have become quite close with the community so it all felt very serendipitous.
Fast forward to June of this year, we decided to make the long drive up and formalize a contract to sign + put down our deposit. The former rep made us aware she had been promoted and a new rep, Dominique Sloper, would be helping us. That's when it all unraveled.
From the start, communicating with Dominique was difficult. During the site walk, important details previously confirmed with the other rep were no longer available to us and I was met with a dismissive that's "just how Central California planning goes". Most of the information she provided I had already discussed at lengths with the other rep but was patient since she was new. She told us to expect a contract within "one to maaaybe two days hehe" but that was over two weeks ago. Since then? Three emails ignored. Two phone calls unanswered. Dominique has completely ghosted us.
First red flag was her admission the venue might not honor agreed upon details, even after the contract has been signed. Second, was she mentioned twice she's been in the industry seven years which is usually a sign someone's relying more on time served than quality delivered.
Seeing the most recent reviews on this venue confirmed what my gut was already telling me. Oceanpoint Ranch may come across as affordable, but there's a reason for that and it shows. Proceed with caution!!

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your feedback. While we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your ex...
perience did not meet your expectations, we’d like to provide some context.
We’re a small, hands-on team managing a high volume of inquiries—especially during peak wedding season. We do our best to respond promptly and thoroughly, but at times delays can occur while we’re actively supporting couples with weddings already on the calendar. We understand this can be frustrating, and it’s never our intention to leave anyone feeling unheard.
That said, no contract was signed and no deposit was placed, so plans were not finalized. As availability, pricing, and policies can shift with demand, we always advise that details are not guaranteed until secured in writing.
We truly care about each couple we work with, and while we may not have been the right fit for your celebration, we wish you nothing but the best as you continue planning your big day.

I was engaged for 4 months and the event coordinator at oceanpoint ranch changed 3 times. The last time they changed was a week before my wedding. It was a nightmare to work with t...
hem especially the day of the wedding. The event coordinator said she would be available all day to help with day of set up and planning but she gave 3 tours of the property to other brides looking at the property and no one could get a hold of her. When my mom went up to ask her a question about electrical hook ups she held up a finger to shush her and said she was busy giving a tour! Luckily my family has helped with about 20+ other weddings so we could figure things out ourselves and the wedding turned out great! It was really with no credit to the event planners though unfortunately. A lot could have been solved with proper communication… when we expressed our disappointment with everything via email and phone they pretty much just left it with, “I’m sorry you feel that way”. A bunch of our guests booked hotel rooms as well and they had double booked the hotel with no resolution for guests or compensation. Great location but I can’t ever recommend it to anyone

Heidi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry t...
o hear that your experience with us fell short, especially during such a meaningful and carefully planned occasion. We understand how disruptive changes in coordination and communication issues can be during the lead-up to a wedding, and we sincerely regret any added stress this may have caused.
We want to acknowledge that you did reach out to us to express your concerns, and we appreciate you making the effort to do so. We also want to reiterate that our offer to work with you on a resolution still stands, should you be open to continuing the conversation.
While we're glad to know your wedding ultimately turned out beautifully thanks to the efforts of your family, we understand that our role should have provided more reliable support throughout the process. Your feedback is being taken seriously and is helping us make improvements to better serve our couples in the future.
Please feel free to reach back out if you’re open to reconnecting.
