Great for both ceremonies and receptions, the hotel provides an idyllic setting for any couple’s outdoor fairytale wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

The hotel offers couples with a truly beautiful open-plan outdoor wedding event space. Fantastic for larger extravagant celebrations as well as smaller more intimate gatherings of just a few close friends and family, the hotel’s garden and patio area provide a magical setting for weddings away from the noise of the big city.

Perfect garden wedding!

We had our dream wedding here recently! The grounds and the inn itself are so beautiful -- it's the perfect setting for a garden wedding. Beki, the inn owner and event coordinator, went out of her way to make our day run smoothly. They offer an excellent all-inclusive package, which included food, dessert, flowers, and a DJ. We also rented out the inn for our family to stay before and after the wedding, and everyone loved the rooms, gardens, and delicious home cooked breakfast. Would definitely recommend to anyone else looking for a beautiful (and affordable!) wedding venue on the California coast!

Unbeatable Price, Perfect Experience

Beki, who runs the inn, was so out of the water phenomenal that this review cannot do her justice. The inn was my venue for my wedding reception and my husband, myself and my family stayed the weekend. Beki was amazing at communicating and sending us questions about how we wanted things setup and time schedules I never could have created on my own. Beki provided tables, chairs, and linens for the reception and helped move along every bit of the wedding to fit the schedule we had created. My favorite is when, after pictures, she gave my husband and me a moment alone in the inn to eat, talk, and have a moment alone. It was one of my favorite parts of the day. She even bustled my dress when my bridesmaids couldn't figure it out! Also, she is an amazing cook as she made breakfast at the inn during the days we were there! Throughout the process she was kind, professional, and amazingly organized-- at an absolute steal of a price!!

Aside from all that, the venue itself is a dream, fairy tale. Everyone who attended said it's one of the prettiest and most relaxing venues they've ever been too and they were so impressed with it and Beki the whole night.

Elegant and Inviting Venue

My wife and I got married at the Kaleidoscope Inn and Gardens on June 1st, 2019. We couldn't have been happier with how the wedding turned out. It was a great day and the Kaleidoscope was magical. Not only was our wedding day practically perfect, but the entire weekend was great. We rented the whole house for the weekend so that the two of us and our bridal party could relax and hang out as much as possible before and after the wedding. Our wedding guests really enjoyed the venue too.
The house and grounds/garden is incredible, but the price for the venue is also pretty darn awesome. So many other places on the Central Coast are very overpriced. Not only that, Beki, who is the property manager and wedding coordinator comes with the venue. She is a great person and we really enjoyed working with her. She was incredibly helpful from the moment we signed the contract to the day of our wedding. Honestly, because of her I think we were more prepared than we would have been otherwise. She also made our day flow nicely and virtually stress-free.
Lastly, the venue has so much green and pocket areas, that if you get a good photographer, he or she can capture some really good shots.

Thanks for everything, Beki!
