We looked at some amazing, beautiful wedding venues, but when we pulled up to Sydalyn Hill and stepped out of the car and saw the breathtaking view of the San Lorenzo Valley, we kn...ew this venue was something truly special and unique. Even touring the property for the first time in the late fall (November) while things were quite dormant, the grounds were still beautiful and I could still envision how magical it would be in the summer and we were not disappointed. Our wedding was in August 2025. Sydalyn Hill was truly the perfect venue for our vision and we appreciate that it is family run, focused on sustainability, an amazing property with a lovely history and it felt like home for such a special weekend. The planning process was as seamless as it can be for a wedding and Gwyn’s communication and organization is excellent. It was such a pleasure to work with her and her family, they work very hard, you really feel like family and get the sense they host weddings because they enjoy it, not because they need to. Gwyn is very flexible in letting you make your wedding day celebration into whatever you desire, we love that couples pay it forward if they wish by leaving decor that other couples can use in the future as part of renting the venue. Our guests also shared our sentiments about how special the property is, loved exploring and were grateful to get a chance to celebrate there. They definitely thought it was worth the trip! The venue is feels spacious, yet also intimate, which was perfect for us. There are so many unique features to this venue, some of our favorites are: the whiskey cabin (the original owners lived here), the swing, the magical, the garden, the views of course!, the vintage baby blue pick up truck, and the huge walnut trees! Dancing under the old walnut trees with vintage chandeliers hanging from the branches as the light fades and the string lights come on was such a highlight for us. We know the property will only continue to become more awesome over the years as they continue to work on it and we hope to visit again over the years! We can’t recommend Sydalyn Hill enough for your wedding venue!
