Kennolyn Events

Kennolyn Events is a wedding and events venue set on 450 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Soquel, CA, offering two distinct venue spaces within a redwood forest setting. Kennolyn offers ceremonies beneath redwoods, outdoor receptions, and weekend-long celebrations with overnight accommodations, on-site catering, bar service, DJ, and day-of coordination across two venue options: Hilltop Hacienda and Stone Creek Village. Kennolyn has hosted weddings and events since 1995, with its roots as a family-founded property dating back to 1946; the 450-acre site remains largely untouched to preserve its landscape. Located in Soquel, CA, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Kennolyn is under 45 minutes from the San Francisco Bay Area and a short drive from historic Highway 1. Couples highlight the hilltop ocean views, the redwood ceremony sites, the responsiveness of coordinator Elyse, and the hands-on day-of support from Andrea and the broader staff team; guests frequently comment on how hard the team worked and how smoothly events ran, even for weddings of 130 to 250 guests planned in as little as 8.5 months.
