See Canyon Fruit Ranch — Hotel in San Luis Obispo

We are so happy to have stumbled upon this gem in the SLO area for our wedding venue. We had around 150 guests at our wedding and I would say the venue accommodated the group just fine. The family who owns the property was very friendly. We had no issues with booking and our wedding planner took care of all the details/coordination. I believe their wedding package comes with white plastic chairs/round tables, wine barrel tabletops and white umbrellas. There are two bathrooms onsite and ample parking space as well. Wifi can be spotty so I recommend guests drive vs. uber/lyft. Pricing was very reasonable compared to the other venues we were looking at.

The greenery is unreal and there are loads of different areas for your wedding photos which I liked (i.e., lower lawn, garden/stairway, orchard, pergola, etc). I would describe the venue as having two different areas. The upper half is where we had the welcome area and cocktail hour, there's also a storefront that is open to the public and the lower half is where we had our ceremony and reception. We did have to flip the layout (changing from ceremony to reception in between) so it was nice to have a separate area for our guests to go to for cocktail hour. We did not experience any issues with the storefront/campsite customers. Everyone was respectful.

The dance floor was large enough for our wedding size and I liked that there are benches surrounding the deck which gave our guests the option to sit or rest and still be close to the festivities.

The only thing (which wasn't a deal breaker for us but could be for others) is the venue has an early stoppage time and requires music to stop by 8pm. We ended up having our wedding from 2pm-8pm and added an after party in downtown SLO.

Overall, I loved the venue and we have such fond and amazing memories of our...

Unfortunately our experience with See Canyon Fruit Ranch and the Kenny Family was subpar and borderline unpleasant. They have the appearance of a small family run business and you expect similar hospitality and kindness but that is not the case. They don’t treat each customer with the utmost care, they are just about making the dollar and pushing you through their system. We had to continue to basically argue and fight with them to get simple things for examples such as arriving earlier at like 8:00 AM instead of 10:00AM to begin setting up or even just to have a set storage area (which is in the contract originally signed that it would be provided). We although were planned to be a Sunday wedding so this was understandable to an extent but we weren’t provided different solutions/alternatives even when it was on the contract. Not even a discount (other than the already lower Sunday wedding price), not that we asked for it or were looking for one but just shows a bit there wasn’t a well searched for solution. It was like pulling teeth a bit and we were left to fend for ourselves on things that were explicitly told to us were provided or discussed. They overall just decided to pick and chose from the contract what they wanted and what was best for them. This was over a span of 6-8 months on and off and not just one instance so we eventually decided it was too much hassle here and to cancel our wedding. We are going elsewhere and it didn’t seem to phase them when we informed them. Maybe it was us being a Sunday wedding and they aren’t used to it still or really didn’t want a Sunday wedding so made it difficult on us. We think the customer service and attention to our wedding and the details would’ve...

First and foremost the venue is absolutely stunning. We could not have picked a prettier place to have our wedding, all our guests loved how beautiful the venue was. HOWEVER, no one at the venue is communicative. We would have to follow up multiple times to get a response about ANYTHING.

Three weeks before the wedding our contact at the venue changed. The new contact had been told absolutely nothing about our wedding from the previous person, it was like starting from scratch. We had also originally been told that we could set up/do rehearsal the day before our wedding as they only did one wedding a weekend, this new person tells us that sorry theres now a wedding the day before ours.

The lack of communication between the people at the venue themselves and then the lack of communication with us is my gripe, not the fact that they booked a wedding the day before ours. Please be more communicative!

Once again the Venue is absolutely STUNNING!
