Wedding at Fensalden made our wedding dream come true! ! My husband and I were envisioning a back yard wedding with family and friends. We spent 4 nights there with 33 of our beloved guests staying onsite. The venue has 7+ acres land, stunning ocean view (sunset is amazing!!), beautiful big eucalyptus trees and 4 houses (so that friends & family can stay comfortably onsite). It feels like a family vacation! We BBQed (with the onsite grill) and hosted our rehearsal dinner at the main house (inside). Our catering vendor also loves the venue since the kitchen is so well equipped and has everything they need. We have in total around 55 guests over, and we ended up setting up a big tent (reception, dinner and dance floor) on the lawn (due to high wind). Henry and Marne are so welcoming and attentive to our questions/requests. We truly appreciate their hospitality and partnership! I can't ask for a better wedding venue! Thank you Fensalden being a part of our memory that we will cherish for life!

We didn't know a venue with an intimate-style wedding on the coast existed until we found The Fensalden. It was perfect. The landscape, view, accommodations are absolutely stunning and exactly what we wanted. All our family and close friends stayed on the property for two nights and everybody loved it. Many of our attendants said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The site manager, Marne, took extra time and planning on her part to be sure everything ran smoothly. And everything DID run smoothly. There is not a single part of our wedding that I regret or wish went differently. We got an incredibly gorgeous sunset setting over the ocean that illuminated the grass fields gold. Our photos came out amazing and everybody had a great time. It is exactly what we wished for and it was truly the happiest day of my life.
