Transparent Pricing

One rate card for every kind of event we host, based only on how late your day runs. Never on your guest count, never on what you are celebrating.

Pricing

Priced by How Late Your Day Runs

Not by how many guests you bring, and not by what you are celebrating. Every block begins at 9:00 AM and covers any guest count up to 100. You choose when your day ends.

Rates on this page are current as of today. Package pricing for your date locks when you sign the agreement and pay the deposit.

Any date from November through March receives the Monday through Thursday rate, any day of the week, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Outside November through March, Friday through Sunday use the Fri–Sun peak column. Every block opens at 9:00 AM, so there is room for setup, an early ceremony, or a morning session without paying for the evening. You are never required to use the full block. Outdoor amplified music stops at 10:00 PM under the Santa Cruz County noise ordinance, which only affects a Full Day booking, since every other block finishes at 9:00 PM or earlier.
