From the reviews
We got married here last weekend and WOW what a beautiful venue!! Not only is the venue reasonably priced, but it was able to accommodate my entire family inside the house and 20 of the wedding party camping outside the house!!!
Ideal Location for an Oceanview Wedding and or Reception! Holly's Ocean Meadow is a large location with expansive views. My Brother-in-law had his reception here after getting married in the Catholic Church in Mendocino.
We are from San Diego and had a destination wedding at Holly’s. The property is absolutely stunning and the house was very clean and comfortable. This really is a magical place, I do not think the pictures do it justice.
Holly’s Bluff is one of the most amazing (and by far one of my favorite!) venues on the Mendocino Coast. This Saturday I had the pleasure of working my sixth wedding at this venue for this year. As always, the ocean provided an attention grabbing backdrop during the ceremony, in spite of the fog.
Getting married at Holly's Ocean Meadow
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
