Celebrate Amidst the Vineyards
The Wedding Garden: It’s seriously hard to explain how massive the views are from this spot. Imagine exchanging vows with the backdrop of vineyards stretching as far as you can see (even if you have like perfect vision), under the expansive California sky. The Wedding Garden at Villa De Lucca offers just that, providing an idyllic setting for your ceremony. The hilltop location affords stunning 40-mile panoramic views, giving you and your guests an absolutely gorgeous experience during your ceremony.
The Jasmine Sanctuary: This has become my favorite spot at Villa De Lucca. The newly-designed Jasmine Sanctuary is an outdoor space that evokes the charm of an open-air chapel, surrounded by the natural beauty of the central coast. Blanketed in star jasmine, this area brings a visually stunning element to your wedding, setting a romantically epic scene for your vows or reception.
After the ceremony, move to the Cocktail Lounge & Open-Air Bar for a relaxing and sophisticated cocktail hour (I don’t use the word sophisticated a lot, but it really feels like the right word lol). The 16-foot wide barrel-crafted bar, combined with comfortable lounge seating under starry string lights, creates a perfect atmosphere for guests to mingle while we’re knocking out some gorgeous portraits of your and your partner. For your reception, The Jasmine Sanctuary transforms into a breathtaking space that can accommodate your guests for dinner and dancing, whether you're planning a massive party or an intimate gathering.
