Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda Wedding Ceremony in Soquel, California

Tucked into the redwoods of Soquel, Santa Cruz County, California, Kennolyn Events offers a rare blend of wild beauty and gracious hospitality. From elegant weddings at the Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda with its Spanish architecture and mid-century charm, to woodsy and whimsical weekend weddings at nearby Stone Creek Village, both properties offer couples something unique and magical.

As a preferred wedding officiant and frequent collaborator at both Kennolyn locations, I love creating original ceremonies there for modern couples who want depth without dogma, with some whimsy, timelessness and transcendence sprinkled in. With its towering redwoods and Monterey Bay view, Kennolyn is a nature lovers paradise, and the perfect place for an outdoor wedding!

Thanks to Bobby of Deep Light Co for sharing the amazing, vibrant and joyous photos from A&S’s epic celebration below!
