Venues & Event Spaces near Loma Mar, CA

“I came to this camp back when I was in 6th grade with my class from Washington elementary school in Lodi CA over 20 years ago best time and fun to go camping and night hike was awesome”

“I have been trying to contact OVY for the past month via phone and email but have not received any response, is this the norm?I would love to have my wedding there next year but need to at least know the pricing before moving forward.”

“Highly reccomend Long Branch Saloon & Farms!!! The staff are friendly and super fun. Our team had such a great time playing games, eating BBQ, enjoying the decked out venue, playing dress up, and riding the mechanical bull. Can't reccomend highly enough for parties, teambuilders, family events, western themed weddings etc. I can't want to go back!”

“My husband and I had our wedding and reception (as well as a Friday night welcome bbq) at Green Oaks Creek Farm last month, in June 2022. The venue couldn't be in a more gorgeous setting and Stephanie was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. So many of our guests commented on how awe-inspiring the location was--with its ocean views, fields of flowers, and trees--and we couldn't agree more. The improvements that Stephanie and Paul have made in their post-fire rebuild were wonderful additions to our wedding festivities, including the dance floor, gorgeous stone firepit, string lighting, outdoor kitchen, and camping area. We were glad that there was on-site lodging available, too, as it made getting ready for the wedding easier and provided a good "home base" for us during the weekend. We've always loved this stretch of coastline and Green Oaks Creek Farm is now an extra special place for us to return to in the years to come!”

“Our daughter had been taking swimming lessons from Coach Tyler for a year and a half by now. With his coaching, she has progressed tremendously from being timid around the water to enthusiastically jumping in whenever she can. She has learned the basics of backstroke and freestyle, and had just started on the breaststroke and treading. He has made swimming fun and approachable and she looked forward to the weekly lessons. Each lesson ended in a fun time (usually with Tyler spinning her around on a large mat above and onto the water - it takes a lot of energy and yet he still does it for each student). 5 stars for Coach Tyler!- 1 star (for a total of 4 stars) for the administration. We learned by surprise that our lessons were about to end, by a chance phone call we'd made asking about the following week's schedule, only to find out that our private classes would end with the end of the month (which was 2 days away). While we could understand the business need, an earlier proactive communication would have been appreciated.”

“My now wife (Char) and hosted a camping weekend after our wedding ceremony at Venture Retreat Center. The space was perfect for what we were looking for. It's rustic and a bit rough around the edges, but it has all the creature comforts you would need in a glamping getaway (power, heated showers, a HOT TUB). Janelle was very easy to work with. Venture got hit pretty hard by a mud slide earlier in the year and Janelle was working hard to make sure that we had a good experience and had everything we needed.We catered one of our meals through Loma Mar (and loved it).Venture is a beautiful space, surrounded by a ton of beauty. We hosted a field trip to the beach with a geology talk/tide pool viewing, a crochet circle, karaoke. It was just a lovely space that helped us facilitate community.Janelle had set up a number of bell tents for our guests, which were super clean, and spacious. The yurt provided the perfect heated, powered activity room for our guests when it got cold. The large tent with bed + fridge, coffee, made for the perfect honeymoon suite.We are looking forward to their renovations and returning in the years to come.”

“It is a small local winery located in the Santa Cruz Mountains.Unlike most other wineries, it is located on top of the mountain. I think the founder came here because he wanted a cool climate. It's better to dress a little thick because it's on top of the mountain.Since it's a small winery, the vineyard is rather small. There is not a lot of wine produced every year. In a way, it's a rare wine that you can't find anywhere else.The view down the mountain is very cool. You can taste and buy wine in the shop. Lexington 2014 vintage was tasted and bought. It was pretty good. Thomas Fogarty brand chardonnay 1998 vintage wine was selected also with an affordable price. Vintage 1998 is the taste of pain in Korea, which almost ruined the country due to the economic crisis. I should share it together at the wedding celebration of my best friend since pain is one of strong taste of marriage.”
