Baby & Bridal Showers | Living Well Event Center

New Beginnings

A Venue That Feels as Special as the Moment

There’s something magical about gathering the people you love in a place that feels as special as the occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a bride-to-be or welcoming a new life into the world, Living Well Event Center creates the kind of backdrop that makes the day feel truly memorable.

Our 2,000 sq ft redwood deck, nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Los Gatos, is an intimate and private setting where guests can relax, connect, and celebrate without distraction. Surrounded by ancient redwoods, with Monterey Bay sparkling in the distance, there’s nowhere quite like it in the Bay Area.

The property is exclusively yours for the day: no other events, no strangers, no noise from neighboring spaces. Just your people, in a beautiful place, celebrating something wonderful.

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.

Any date from November through March receives the Sunday to Thursday rate, any day of the week. 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.
