    I don't even know where to begin! I mean, if I get to marry again( with the same guy of course!) I'd choose this place again no doubt! It's perfect! It's beautiful! It's a hidden gem! Quang! You're amazing! From the start, you've been so helpful! Whenever I have questions you answered them right away! You the real MVP! 10/10

    Hidden Gem right by the Highway 17!! We changed our wedding event from big indoor party on December to small intimate wedding on November (I dont recommend November as it does feel very cold) due to the pandemic. This venue was perfect as they charge hourly, and does not have any minimum--food and beverage cost, like other venues do; thus makes renting the place so much more affordable than other options. The place is also super pretty! In case of rain, we can use the chapel. Thus, it's like having plan A and B in one place, without having to use tent (tents are expensive!). We also got the bridal suite, so you dont need to rent hotel before. Based on my experience, having everything in one place is a plus! Due to pandemic, we do not host any dining event/alcohol at the venue for our safety reasons. we also all get tested (all negative) during the week before the event for safety precautions [for the vendors too!]. Indoor event is also discouraged. This venue's garden is very beautiful. Quang is very helpful and responsive! we have lots of last minute changes because the sunset time is tricky and because of the pandemic and the live streaming. the available time is 10am-evening, so evening time is better. since our family cannot attend the wedding, we also did live streaming, but receptions were not good. however, AT&T can work fine via instagram live. other social media such as youtube and facebook will give you buffering. I cannot stop raving about this place, as it is very very nice. See the pictures!

    Love this place. I had my clients wedding here and my parent's vow renewal. Quang was accommodating and the process was easy.

    I'd give 10 stars if I could! We got married here (small event, under 20 people) after having to postpone our larger, originally-planned reception due to COVID restrictions. I thought this would be an incredibly stressful event to plan with just 2 months notice, but Quang couldn't have been easier to work with. He was very flexible with us, and was in constant communication as we navigated the changing guidance around event details (number of people allowed; indoor/outdoor; how to serve food; sanitizing stations, etc). The chapel and grounds are absolutely beautiful and create a warm, intimate space. We weren't able to hold an indoor event, but used the chapel for our first look and had the ceremony and a lunch reception in the garden. We were also given access to a cottage with a small kitchen, living room, and bridal room. We really couldn't be happier and feel so lucky to have found this place in what felt like the last minute.

    Where do we start. This venue is EVERYTHING we could have ever dreamed! The chapel itself is simply sweet and beautiful and the surrounding space/reception area is breathtaking. We barely needed any decorations because it was so enchanted and magical! Quang was so helpful and genuine throughout our entire process and him and his wife were fantastic on the day of our event. It was easy to plan with outside vendors and Quang gave some excellent recommendations as well. We had about 105 guests, a bit of a tight squeeze inside the chapel but our guests said they were comfortable! We were able to store supplies and food the night before in the bridal cottage and that's also where the bridal party got ready the morning of. We can't say enough great things about this perfect place! If you're looking for a cozy, charming, romantic, Special place to say "I do", Chapel on the Hill is right for you.

    Our wedding took placement 7/25/21 at the Chapel on the Hill- in Los Gatos. I am an Event Planners and Organizer. So I did everything my fiancé and I tried our best to make sure everything was our way, as we dreamed. And everything was perfect. The chapel is beautiful and the garden perfect, all the guests praised. We were very happy and grateful to fulfill our dream in magical place. Thank you Quang Le for receiving us and making it all right. Solange and Sean Gilligan.

    My wife and I had our wedding here in April and it was so amazing. We both love the redwoods and flowers surrounding the Chapel. My wife and I meet in Santa Cruz, so we thought it was an amazing place to have our wedding. The weather was perfect in late April. The Chapel has plenty of parking space in the front and Quang (owner of chapel) will be there to guide your guest. Quang is such a nice person, always willing to help and make your wedding be the best one. I really appreciated when I asked Quang if we were allowed to release butterflies outside the Chapel at the end of the ceremony and he was excited as we were to make this happen at our wedding. Our guest and family were fascinated with the Chapel and the outside garden. I am happy that we chose the Chapel on the Hill and also that Quang was always there to help us out every moment of the way. Note: Quang is very good at responding back emails and phone calls as well.

    To make a long story short (as possible): I had my wedding planned for October 2020 and unfortunately that didn't happen not only due to covid but the wild fires in the surrounding Santa Cruz mountains. The time from March through October 2020 trying to plan in unpredictable circumstances was so chaotic and an emotional rollercoaster for sure. Through it all, Quang and his family who own the venue were so understanding, kind and are just genuinely good people. They worked with me to change dates, to update me on what was possible and what was not, and give us as much flexibility as possible given we were planning with no idea of what the next day would bring. Ultimately we decided to get married in a much smaller style and didn't follow through with the larger plans we had for the venue but it was not with out a heavy heart. It really felt as though my husband and I had been supported in so many ways that were outside what a vendor would do for a client and really didn't want to marry anywhere else but it was just one of many tough decisions we had to make. You should check out this venue not only for its simple beauty but because you will have such great experience working with the owners. We would recommend this place to any of our personal friends so posting a review was definitely a must.

    This review is definitely long over due. My husband and I were married almost 2 months ago at the chapel. We also had our reception there as well. When people ask about my wedding day, it's hard to explain because it was such an incredibly beautiful day. Quang was nothing short of amazing, he helped us so much the day of the wedding and kept in contact through the whole year of planning. He put out all the tables and chairs for us. He was even kind enough to get bottled water for the reception that the caterer had forgot. He did a wonderful job at handling the situation to where I didn't even find out until the next day. We live almost 2 hours from the venue so email communication was a big deal, Quang always answered in a timely manner, even when I didn't. All of our friends and family loved the venue, being right off highway 17, you'd never realize it. Quiet and beautiful. It was a dream come true. Everything I ever imagined and more. We had about 60 people and it was more than enough space. I would relive my wedding day a million times if I could. Chapel on the Hill was the perfect spot for my wedding day.

    Chapel on the the Hill was the perfect spot for my special day. First off my wedding was probably one that had a lot of details and requests that they haven't worked with before- Quang was over the top flexible with every idea or request that I had. We made multiple visits to the chapel to get measurements, rehearsals and also to drop off supplies early. I knew front he start that the availability he had with us was amazing! I was so happy to work with him and his family! The day of the wedding he was there early and really to go- he helped out in anyway possible and it was amazing! The chapel was beautiful and I couldn't ask for more a spot to hold my wedding! Must check it out if your looking for an intimate rustic garden wedding location!

    We just had our wedding here on this past weekend on 8/24/19 with about 100 people. Quang and his family were very nice and made accommodations to fit our needs. Quang was also very responsive and went way beyond his role to help us through our wedding planning. The chapel and grounds is a dream come true. Our guests continue to rave about how beautiful our wedding was. We are truly pleased. Thanks Quang and family for making our wedding dreams come true.

Her warm, calming presence made the entire experience feel meaningful, genuine, and filled with joy. Many of our guests commented on how touching and well‑delivered the ceremony was. As our photographer, she was just as incredible. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured every important moment with creativity and care. The photos turned out absolutely stunning--full of emotion, detail, and authenticity. We now have a gorgeous collection of memories that we'll cherish forever. Handling both roles seamlessly is no small task, but Minister Hayne did it with grace, professionalism, and passion. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide our ceremony and preserve our most special moments. We highly, highly recommend Minister Hayne to any couple looking for an exceptional officiant, photographer, or--if you're lucky enough--both.

I loved the questionnaires that we did separately which she used to write a personal speech about me and my husband that was heart felt and made us feel like she knew the both of us. Her speech, which we did not hear prior, allowed us to be in the moment, creating such real emotions. Gabi is the sweetest person ever and so fun to work with. She was not only our officiant but felt like someone we have known for years, so easy to get along with and even bumped into her randomly at a club listening to a mutual liked artist. (funniest moment ever) If I could get married again, I would definitely book them again and keep Gabi at the wedding as a guest :) Thank you so much Gabi!

She has an incredible ability to take your story, your values, and your relationship and turn it into something that feels authentic and deeply moving... not generic or templated in any way. What really set her apart was how she coached our officiant (who is also a close friend). She made sure he felt confident, prepared, and able to deliver the ceremony in a way that felt natural and heartfelt. It made such a difference in the moment. Our ceremony ended up being one of the most special parts of the entire day, and we owe that to Gabi. If you're looking for something truly personal and beautifully crafted, she's it.

We had started working with Terry about 6 months before and had exchanged lots of emails and had met in person. All of the preparations left us knowing Terry was going to be great of the day and he was. It is great when you can "tick" something off your preparation list and have no doubt it's going to be great, and all you have to do now is look forward to the day and actually enjoy the ceremony. We are not religious, and in fact we were already married before the wedding, so really this part of the day could have just been a formality that you had to do, then everyone could get on with the fun parts of a wedding, like eating and drinking too much. The reality was Terry made his short part the focal point for the whole day. We had originally hoped that Terry would read our vows out, because neither of us likes speaking in public, but on the day before, Terry let us know that he thought it best if we read them out as they were so personal. This was a bit of a shock, but in the end, Terry was right, we agreed, and it really made a big impact. The ceremony was funny, serious, meaningful and special. It was a pleasure working with Terry. Like others have said, we really hope we don't have to use Terry again as this marriage is forever :-) but I would give him the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a wedding officiant for their special day.

I have got to lost of bridal shops since this place and have 10000% better experience than this place. I told every place I went to about this shop and how rude they are and have told lots of brides since as well.

I don't understand why the owner needs to know the exact location of your wedding. She asked where it was I kindly mention the city then she asked the exact location & it felt odd but I mentioned it (I didn't have to but I did) and when I told her she said "oh that's way too far for me" which I was still cordial but taken aback because it shouldn't matter one bit where my venue is she isn't a guest? She's neither officiating it nor assisting with anything beyond the dress itself. During my visit, I felt very unwelcome, even though I had all the necessary details ready, like the venue, guest count, and date. Which again, how does the guest count help them help you choose a wedding dress??? I had even checked their website beforehand! What truly matters is that brides feel comfortable asking questions without pressure and are made to feel welcome and not rushed. Planning a wedding is already stressful, and my experience there only added to that stress when the lady told me, "you're not ready to buy a dress" due to some questions I had while wanting to see their selection. Although she did show me two dresses from a rack behind the desk, her attitude was very passive-aggressive. The way they run their store is quite unusual; it might work for some, but for brides just walking in to see what the shop is all about and being met with a condescending attitude is disheartening. I would not recommend this store at all. Go anywhere but here.
