We want everyone to be able to explore our venue and plan their celebration with ease.
Living Well Event Center, operated by Greg de Vries and Living Well USA, LLC, is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people of all abilities. We believe everyone deserves a warm welcome, online and in person.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological differences.
To support an accessible experience, we work to:
Accessibility is an ongoing effort rather than a one-time task. We periodically review our website and make improvements as we are able. Some content provided by third parties, such as embedded maps or booking tools, may not be fully within our control, though we choose partners who share our commitment where we can.
Our venue is a natural 4.5-acre property in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and it is effectively step-free. There are no stairs anywhere events actually take place, including the redwood deck, the indoor space, the ceremony areas and the parking, so guests using wheelchairs have full access to every part of the property where your event happens. We have an indoor ADA bathroom, and we will designate as many accessible parking spaces as your group needs, however many that turns out to be. The only two areas with steps are the fruit orchard and the water feature, which are scenic spots to wander rather than event spaces. If you or a guest have specific accessibility needs for an event or a tour, please tell us in advance and we will make sure everything is comfortable.
If you experience any difficulty using our website, or have suggestions for how we can improve, please let us know. We take this feedback seriously and will work with you to provide the information or service you need in an alternative way.
When you contact us, please describe the issue and the page or feature involved so we can help as quickly as possible.
