The Hollins House Weddings & Events - Santa Cruz, California

Ian & Sarah Johnson

The Hollins House is truly a dream come true. The venue itself is stunning—you don’t need to do much to make it the perfect setting for a wedding.

Giselle and Bella, the event coordinators, were incredible. From our in-person meetings to email correspondence, they were always helpful, attentive, and on top of every detail.

The food was absolutely delicious, and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The chicken and waffle appetizer during the cocktail hour was a huge hit and the ham benedict was equally loved by everyone.

Everything was simply beautiful, and I couldn’t have imagined a better wedding experience. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views with exceptional service and cuisine, look no further than The Hollins House!

5 amazing stars. This gorgeous venue with peekaboo ocean views should be your top pic if you want ease, an amazing staff, and a historic, wonderful venue.

Our rehearsal dinner event at Hollins House was absolutely superb. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The setting was gorgeous and everyone appreciated being able to see the view and visit out on the back patio for hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
Thank you also for setting up the screen for photos on the patio as well. And for graciously putting out a heater for our elderly parents who arrived before the wedding party!

The Hollins Room was just what we were looking for. It was an intimate, bright and beautifully appointed room.
Thank you for suggesting Summer at the Flower Shack. Her centerpieces were so very lovely and you coordinated the votives so that the tables were gorgeous.

You were so helpful and easy to work with and the waitstaff was so very kind and helpful without being intrusive throughout the entire evening. Despite our party getting delayed at rehearsal, everyone was accommodating and we never felt rushed, though we arrived late.
The chef and kitchen staff made such sumptuous and delectable meals. The stuffed chicken breast dish was an especially beautiful roll of color.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinner and the setting.

Giselle was absolutely exceptional! She is professional, personable, efficient and so easy to work with to accommodate our needs. Our highest praise and kudos to the entire team!

Had a really great dinner. Was there early and got a table in the bar area which is classic worn in wood paneled and great views - could see all the way to Monterey. Out waitress was absolutely great - fun and available but didn't rush. Everything we had was delectable and we will definitely come back. The chef himself brought out dessert (warm chocolate cake with ice cream which rocks) and it was clear he takes pride in what's happening at Hollins House.

One of the best meals I've had in quite some time. They had a black cod dish on the special menu and it was phenomenal. Views are incredible, value was excellent and service was solid. If I'm ever back in the area I will go out of my way to come back here.
