The Cypress Ridge Pavilion

We are so glad we had our ceremony at Cypress Ridge Pavilion! It is a beautiful, idyllic location and just what we were looking for. Jodi is a pleasure to work with and was so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. Our guests were in awe of the setting. My groom had a golf outing with his groomsmen the day before and they had a great time as well.

The Cypress Ridge Pavilion was truly amazing. At the very last minute a whole 24 hours before the date of our wedding we discovered our original venue was going to be rained out, and after contacting multiple venues the Pavilion was the first and only one to respond and helped make our wedding day possible and the best day we will remember forever. Thank you so much my husband and I recommend this location highly. If it wasn't a rainy day I would have loved to have experienced the beautiful outside scenery more and been able to spread out more.

We found The Cypress Ridge Pavilion through The Knot and decided to tour the venue when we were visiting the Central Coast. The venue was spacious enough for our guest list of 175, and it was well-kept and gorgeous — the pond was definitely swoon-worthy! Jodi was very accommodating and helpful for the tour, and we eventually decided to get married there! The months following that tour were spent getting to know Jodi over email for the most part. She was prompt, professional, and very courteous in all correspondence — which I really appreciate as a project manager! Working through the contract and making payments through their website was also pleasantly easy. Although we unfortunately had to cancel our plans to get married at Cypress Ridge, we enjoyed our time working with Jodi and wanted to leave a note of gratitude here. Jodi and her team were extremely understanding and flexible as we navigated our changing plans. We highly recommend the beautiful venue and Jodi's excellent coordination, and wish we could have had our celebration here. Thank you!

Couldn't have asked for a better venue, planner, or menu. Just a top-notch facility with outstanding staff who helped us plan and carry out the most perfect day that fulfilled all of our expectations. Guests loved the setting, too. Cannot recommend highly enough!

This review is for both the venue itself as well as for Jodi and her team. We cannot say enough amazing things about Jodi and her team! She is one of the most friendly, organized, and helpful people we have ever met. Her entire goal is to make sure your day is successful and perfect. Whenever we would visit her she would greet us with a smile and always seems so excited to see us! From the very beginning all the way until the day after the wedding, she was extremely helpful and so very sweet and kind. She (figuratively) held our hand through the entire process and was really helpful when making suggestions and answering questions. We had a few requests and it really didn't seem like there was any request too small or too large. If she didn't know the answer to something she would say "I'm not sure, I'll look into it!" and then would actually get back to you with an answer quickly and without prompting. It's incredible that regardless of the number of events she has going on at the time, she still makes you feel like your event is the only one she has going on all year. For the day of, she was so excited for us and was instrumental in making sure everything went smoothly. In regards to her team: while the venue is beautiful on it's own, they really made the entire wedding magical. The way the rooms were set up was nothing short of enchanting. We elected to have Jodi's team help us out with setting up some of our personal decorations (for a reasonable additional fee) and while we had pretty detailed directions on how we wanted the decorations displayed, they set them all up perfectly and exactly to specification. AND THE FOOD! The food was so good!! I feel that at weddings the catered food is always somewhere between "this is alright" and "meh." But the chef and staff are so talented and will work with you to build an amazing and delicious menu. Even though we can have some strong preferences on tastes, they were very adapting and accommodating. The location was extremely beautiful! They are constantly updating the venue and made sure everything was picture perfect the day of. The outdoor areas were calm and peaceful and particularly lovely next to the pond and the ceremony site was exceptionally beautiful. The indoor area was modern and updated but was not off-putting nor void of character. All in all it is the perfect location for any event, especially for such a beautiful wedding.

Absolutely beautiful property! Jodi is the best and handled everything so well. All of my wants and needs she provided and I appreciate her always responding to emails and giving suggestions. The property is such a great value for the price... so much included! Props to the chef.. the food was AMAZING! I want to get married over and over again here!!

Cypress Ridge Pavilion far exceeded our expectations of a dream venue. We were so ecstatic that we came across this venue during our venue search. From the moment we visited the venue, we knew that it was the place we wanted to get married. We visited the venue on a Saturday afternoon right before a wedding. The atmosphere was so calm and serene that we was surprised to find that there was a wedding happening that day! That's when we knew it was the venue for us. Jodi, the venue coordinator, was amazing to work with through the whole process. She was so accommodating and such a joy to work with. Jodi truly helped us make our vision come true and we trusted her that everything would run as smoothly as it did! She helped us process all our thoughts and visions and everything turned out perfectly. The food was phenomenal. We scheduled a tasting before the wedding and were accommodated to our own sit down tasting. We were able to pick and choose what we wanted and weren't limited to any decisions. Post wedding all our guests said it was the best wedding food they had. Not only is it a beautiful venue, but all the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. All in all we would 100% choose Cypress Ridge Pavilion as our wedding venue again.

We loved everything about this Wedding Venue and here is why. Starting out we made inquiries to several wedding venues in the Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach area. Jodi, the Event Coordinator from Cypress Ridge Pavilion was one of the first people to write us back. She set up a meeting for us to come see the venue and sent us a full detailed wedding packet with costs of all their services and food up front. We met up with her a few days later and toured the Pavilion and surrounding grounds. She was very helpful at answering all our questions and not at all pushy. We decided on Cypress Ridge Pavilion for our wedding, Jodi sent us all the paperwork electronically which made things very easy for us because we did not live in that area. Moving forward from there, we began booking our other service providers. By them including most of the rentals and providing in house catering they are able to better control the level of service and in turn streamlines a big part of the wedding planning process for you. The only additional vendors we had to book was a DJ, Photographer, Pastor, cake and Florist. Jodi had a list of preferred vendors that they had worked with in the past to make this easy as well. Moving forward to the wedding day, Jodi was there early making sure everything was set up as we had requested and available to answer any questions we or the other vendors had. Our wedding turned out beautiful, the grounds were neat, clean and lusciously green; the tables, linens and dinnerware were perfect, everything was as requested. We decided on their Italian buffet option for our dinner which was amazing, lots of flavor and more then plenty of food for everyone. Also decided to go with the premium open bar, guests loved it and many were jolly and rosy cheeked by the end of the night. Jodi stayed throughout the night helping in any way she could to make sure everything went smoothly. We could not have asked for a better place to get married or a better group of employees running the show, then the ones at Cypress Ridge Pavilion.

I cannot say enough good things about Cypress Ridge Pavilion. My husband and I got married here last June and it was just perfect! When we were hunting for a venue we wanted something that felt inviting, cozy, magical but also big enough to hold our large wedding and this place nailed it! Cypress Ridge is in a gorgeous area, with a fantastic wedding ceremony lawn on a lake. We fell in love with the venue the moment we walked in. Jodi was probably the main reason we even decided on Cypress Ridge. Throughout our wedding planning process, Jodi worked closely with us on every detail, and we had a lot of details! From helping get the decorations set, to hooking us up with an amazing florist to even keeping me calm before walking down the isle - Jodi rocked it! She was with us every step of the way and I always felt supported. The food is also just amazing! My mom and I worked closely with Rochelle on every detail of the menu, due to some food allergies, and she was super accommodating. I am still getting rave reviews about the food! Also, we had s’mores set up at the fire pit in the evening and that was a huge hit with our guests. In terms of the venue itself, we had dinner outside on the lawn and moved our guests inside for dancing. There was enough space for everyone, but it still felt cozy and intimate. In the evening, there are hanging lights outside that really make it quite stunning and make for a very warm ambiance. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Cypress Ridge Pavilion is not only a beautiful place to get married, but the team who works there makes it magical!

The Cypress Ridge Pavilion exceeded our expectations as a venue for our wedding. The whole atmosphere and ambiance of the place are great. We keep getting compliments from our guests about how great our wedding was and how beautiful the Pavilion is. One thing I have to say is that the staff is absolutely great. Jodi, the Event Coordinator, makes you feel right at home and really was there to make sure our day went off without a hitch. She went above and beyond what was expected. Here is a tip for people who are considering this venue. We did our dinner on the grass by the lake and then the dancing inside the main hall. It worked out great! We also did our rehearsal dinner there the night before the wedding. Which worked out great as it really streamlined the day and let us really enjoy our friends and family. We can't thank the staff enough for making it the best day ever.

Best. Venue. Ever. We had THE most amazing wedding! We are so happy with how everything turned out! Jodi is the best coordinator! She did such a great job helping us plan the best day. We cannot thank her enough. All of our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was. I loved that we had the option of an indoor/outdoor wedding. We have also been getting compliments on how great the food was (Santa Maria style BBQ)! The staff was super friendly. All around it was more than we could have imagined! I would highly recommend booking Cypress Ridge Pavilion for your wedding!!

Cypress Ridge was such a great venue to work with. Jodi and Rochelle are very friendly, accommodating, and will work with your budget. The grounds are very beautiful and welcoming and they can provide many extra services at very reasonable prices. We were very pleased with how well everything turned out due to all of the staff's help. I would recommend working with them for any event in a heartbeat!

My husband and I knew we wanted our wedding at Cyprus Ridge the second we walked onto the beautifully manicured lawn. The backdrop was exquisite, the indoor space was more than we could have asked for, and to top it off the staff went above and beyond every step of the way. We planned our event long distance (from Kansas) and the entire process was completely stress free. The executive chef put a wonderful meal together for our guests, and even helped us make sure the decorations were perfect on the day of the event!! We even used the outdoor firepit to treat our guests to s'mores for dessert. Absolutely every part of our day was completely perfect; we wouldn't have changed a thing! Bonus- our photographer was able to capture the most beautiful memories thanks to all of the wonderful landscaping at the venue!

The best choice we made for our wedding was to get married at The Cypress Ridge Pavilion. I knew from the moment I saw it that it was the venue for us. I am a wedding planner so this says a lot because I have been to many venues. What i love about this one is the ease of flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Also the staff is phenomenal. I loved being able to count on one place for most of our wedding needs including, space for all events, catering, bartending, all tables, chairs, linens and tableware, bonfire for a s'mores bar and even a photo booth. It really takes a load of to not have to source and pick these things. It eased our minds and saved us a lot of money. Jodi the events manager was so great to work with and I hope to get a chance to work there as a planner in the future. Thank you Jodi and all of the staff that made our wedding day so great! Myself and Jay wish we can relive the day over and over.

Our guests could not stop talking about Cypress Ridge!! The venue was absolutely beautiful! The food was amazing Jodi was amazing!! Thank you to Jodi and her staff for doing a phenomenal job this weekend!!

Cypress Ridge Pavilion was the clear winner when we searched for a wedding venue. They had everything we were looking for in an event space including a beautiful location, helpful staff, catering on site, many rentals included and a great value! This venue really has it all. Planning a wedding from overseas can be stressful, but Jodi made it so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and flexible working with me and my husband during that entire year leading up to the wedding. I cannot thank her enough for putting my mind at ease and making sure everything went off without a hitch. On the day of, Cypress Ridge did not disappoint. We had an amazing and beautiful wedding from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to our reception. It was absolutely stunning and it was exactly what I had always wanted. Jodi and her entire staff at the Pavilion are truly wonderful and I can’t thank them enough for all of their time and assistance in making our wedding so memorable.

We had our wedding there 08/17/14 and it was the most amazing day I could have imagined. Jodi and Bryan really helped make everything we wanted happen. Jodi was always so easy to get a hold of and she had all the answers to our problems. From planning 6 months ago to the big day they where all so willing to help us. They gave us suggestions on vendors, and offered decorating ideas. Jodi connected us with the right people to get a chandelier and fabric for our big day and even helped us figure out how to mount it all. She met with us a couple times the week of to make sure we knew what was going to happen and did an amazing job guiding a walk through with us the day before. The morning of the wedding we arrived at 10am to see the chef picking fresh rosemary for the dinner that night and Jodi directing people how to set stuff up etc. I had a meltdown and she was there to help, we needed anything she was there all day and night she was just the best onsite coordinator we could have asked for. I loved the venue and all of the staff that worked the event. Everyone was so professional and nice. We really loved the chef as she met with us several times to perfect our meal to our preferences. We had olives on the tables with bread while everyone was getting seated. A plated salad which was out of this world was then served and finally we had a buffet style dinner. The dinner had the most amazing fresh vegetables (the asparagus was perfect not mushy at all as most buffets tend to have mushy veggies) an amazing vegetarian option that guest where raving over, sweet potatoes and my favorite part the prime rib! I loved how the chef cut the prime rib to order and it was so juicy and delicious. All of our vendors did a great job and raved over how well the whole day had gone.At the nights end they did the cleanup and we went off to our honeymoon. I didn't lift a finger without someone being there to it for me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We just had our wedding at Cypress Ridge Pavilion on July 12, 2014. It was beautiful! The price was great, and Jodi was excellent! We only looked at two venues before this one and we knew this was the one. Everything turned out great and many people told us it was the best wedding they have been to. It is very nice that they have in house catering and they do the tables, linens, chairs, umbrellas, heat lamps, etc... It is nice to not have to go through other venders and Cypress did the set up and break down as well. We didn't have any problems or hiccups at all. I highly recommend this venue!

If I could give Cypress Ridge Pavilion 10 stars, I would! I had my wedding at Cypress Ridge in October of 2013, and had 5 months to plan a wedding with 200 attendees. To top it off, I am in Northern California, and so this was going to be a semi "destination" type of affair, and I had a limited number of trips I could make down before the wedding date. Of the larger venues I looked at, Cypress Ridge definitely beat the rest in the value, flexibility, and quality of services they offered. I was originally wanting a vineyard wedding, and felt like I had a great budget, and could make it work despite the guest count. First of all, Jodi the event coordinator there is AMAZING. I love this woman! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone to our first meet and greet, she was always responsive, timely, and just so much fun! She will do everything in her power to give you the vision you want to see on your wedding day. I really wanted an outdoor reception, and she made it happen. We asked for some changes to the food, and whether it was a family style menu and different sides than normally offered, Jodi worked to get us options not on the list. She even found a way for us to taste the food on a weekend we could come down by coming to a different event and having us served in her office (haha!) PS, the food was great!!! Speaking of budget, you can't beat Cypress Ridge. After reviewing so many venues, I really found that with Cypress Ridge I still got fantastic quality of service, and was able to have more money for those "fun" elements I had my heart set on. From extra lighting, to a photobooth, seating lounge, and gorgeous flowers...this truly would not have been possible given the number of guests elsewhere. What is included at CRP really helps take care of many extra costs that add up quickly. From setup, tables, chairs, linens, silverware/barware, servers (in the service fee), the fire pit onsite etc., there are a lot of perks that come with the venue that others don't include. We also had the ability to come in early to drop off things or pick up things the next day. The space is such a great setup for those who want to have their ceremony and reception on the same venue site. I cannot say how truly thankful we were to have such an amazing venue!!! Our guests had nothing but raving reviews about the beautiful venue, great atmosphere, and fantastic dance party in the pavilion. I promise if you have your wedding at Cypress Ridge, you wont regret it.
