Doesn’t your special day deserve a setting that’s equally special? Weddings at The Casitas allow the bride and groom to create a ceremony that is private and personal for their families and guests. It's the perfect destination wedding!

Perched at the top of a 7 acre estate, your ceremony will take place overlooking the Arroyo Grande Valley and nearby vineyards. Call today to find out how The Casitas of Arroyo Grande Bed and Breakfast can help you create the wedding of your dreams on the romantic Central Coast.

Listed below are some of the policies for reserving The Casitas for your special day:

Booking — We offer our guests a private, romantic getaway and your event receives the same treatment.  To ensure this we require that the host/hostess book our four rooms/casitas the day prior to, and the day of the event. The prevailing rates at the time will apply. This allows time to set up properly without disturbing someone not associated with your event. The Casitas make the perfect retreat for the bride/groom and the bridal party to get ready or for touch ups during the activities. Because you have the Casitas' compound for the two days, you may also use the Casitas for your rehearsal dinner! 

Site Fee — In addition to booking the three Casitas rooms, there is a $2,500 site fee. This includes use of the large front fountain entry for passed appetizers or a cocktail reception and/or use of the more expansive back lawn overlooking the vineyards, fields and valley.  The Great Room and hallway inside the house are also available.  A $1,000, deposit is required at the time of reservation.  This will be applied to the site fee.  The deposit is non-refundable.

Group Size - Despite our size, the setting at The Casitas is intimate and is not as conducive to large parties.  Accordingly, parties over 125 persons require prior notification and approval.  An additional fee may apply if approval is given for a party larger than 125.  

Services: We do not provide a wedding planning service but we are happy to work with your wedding planner/point of contact.

Caterer — You may use the caterer of your choice. We have a large kitchen with 4 convection ovens which is perfect for staging the meal/appetizers. If you don’t have one in mind we would like to suggest the services of one of the past caterers who have created a wonderful evening for the bride and groom at The Casitas.

Photography — Please do check out our Galleries, we've taken amateur shots to give you an idea of how various weddings made the Casitas bed and breakfast their own and we have also been adding photographer stills and slideshows as we receive them. Some great photographers that have captured the Casitas include: Amy Wellenkamp, Lisa Showver, Jeff Newsom, Kristin Renee, Trent Buckle of ProImage, and Max and Dorothy of Tuman Photography.

Florist — Because of the amount of flowering landscape we already have in bloom, you may not require the volume other sites might—there is a lot of flowering plants, roses, wisteria, and jacarandas on property. However, you may use the florist of your choice and if you don’t have one in mind we are happy to suggest one for you for your central coast wedding.

Music/DJ — Dependent on weekend versus weekday ceremonies, we just want to be courteous to neighbors across the valley since sound does carry. That said, on weekends amplified music must end by 10 p.m.  Based on your needs, we are happy to thoughtfully tailor other options. One DJ company we've had the pleasure of having here on multiple occasions is Kramer Entertainment, Beau and Melissa Kramer are great to work with and every bridal couple has loved them. Jeff Peters, The Wedding Guitarist, has also provided a wonderful setting here during ceremonies and the dinner hour as another terrific option.

Tables/chairs — Are not provided. We are happy to work with your planner to secure a rental company, or coordinate with one of the caterers above. Dependable companies that have supported other Casitas events may be provided.

Misc. — The property is well maintained year round and is available for engagement photos at no additional charge once you have reserved an event date.

Parking - The event host must secure the services of a valet company or shuttle service. 

Rest Room Facilities - We are on a septic system, we require that the host obtain potable toilets for parties over 50 in size to avoid undue burden on the system (and we want your special event to be perfect!).  These have come a long way and aren't your parent's outhouses!  We often suggest that the ladies attending the event might use of the rest rooms in the casitas.  Gentlemen will be asked to use the portable facilities.  We can recommend the name of a company that supplies and maintains high end facilities. One locally that has delivered on-site is www.harveyhoneyhuts.com.
