If you want a wedding that feels effortless, joyful, and downright unforgettable, The Penny is…read morewhere you do it. We got married here last month and it was the BEST day of our lives!! Choosing to have our day here was hands-down the smartest decision we made. From the second we stepped into the venue for our first tour, everything just clicked. We live in Arizona but knew we wanted to get married on the Central Coast. During our tour, Lauren truly listened to what mattered to us and showed us exactly how those details would come to life on our wedding day. That meant everything. We weren't just potential clients touring a venue, we were fiancés getting ready to celebrate the rest of our lives together, and Lauren never lost sight of that. Once we signed on, our planner Lindsey walked us through every detail with so much confidence and warmth that planning from a state away actually felt easy. Something we didn't really think about during this whole process is just how much time you end up spending with your planner - leaning on them to help you through the day, asking them for advice. By the end of it all, Lindsey felt like an old friend and we knew we could trust her with our vision for the day. The Penny has a preferred vendor list that is absolutely epic, and it was SUPER helpful for people like us who weren't local. They were also completely open to working with any vendors we'd already chosen. We picked our bar and catering from their preferred list and came back out for tastings with each. Both experiences were incredible - I could write full reviews on each of them too!! We also chose to use a few other vendors from their list and we were so glad we did. Great venues attract great partners, and it showed every step of the way. The entire team at The Penny brings real passion to what they do, and you can feel it in every moment. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamless the day was and how stunning the space is. The Penny gave us the wedding we dreamed of and then some - we want to relive this day over and over and over. We cannot recommend The Penny enough!! Makayla and Spencer

I read their other (one) review on Yelp and decided to give GES a call. I immediately felt that Jennifer had a good grasp of what I was looking for and that her team would be a great fit. They came to the venue the day of the wedding and immediately started getting everything set up. When they had questions, they asked. They let me know I needed more water (it was a hot day) and coordinated with a relative to go get some. They set up my reception tables to PERFECTION just from email instructions I sent the week before. The bartender was so friendly and I heard many compliments from my guests about her. I would absolutely book GES for any future event and suggest you do the same! You won't be disappointed!

Actually getting that bar seat. Unless you can sneak in on a random weekday afternoon, weekends usually mean cramming into a small table with no view and a pretty rowdy, locals-only vibe. It's got quirks--jukebox you can control from an app, a lottery ticket machine, and fun-sounding events like spaghetti dinners (haven't tried those yet). Drinks are cheap, which is nice, but let's be real--I can make a better martini at home with the same ocean view from my balcony. Still, people clearly love it here, and the energy is one of a kind. I just haven't quite cracked the code on how to enjoy the Moose to its fullest. In the meantime, I'll keep trying!

She immediately hit the ground running and quickly identified our requirements and possible vendors based on our venue. Early on in the process, we visited our venue with her and she helped us select the appropriate areas for each of our events. We explained our vision, and she really made it come to life. There are so many small details that need to be considered for the wedding, and she really thought of everything. She was so organized, professional and patient, and answered what felt like a million questions from us throughout the planning process. She arranged meetings and phone calls with the various vendors to help us make any selections. She kept us on track of every deadline and required payment. Her initial questionnaire, wedding planner tool, logistics plan and detailed itinerary provided us with assurance that every detail was covered. . The weekend of the wedding, she was on top of everything -- always there when we needed her and handling things before we even had to ask. She had such a calm demeanor and continually was checking in during the weekend to ensure we were feeling good and to help ease any stress. Everything flowed smoothly and on time throughout the entire weekend. We received so many compliments on the wedding and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding party and families were so impressed with the organization throughout the weekend. She completely took the stress off us so we could actually enjoy the wedding day. We couldn't believe how beautiful everything turned out, thanks to all her hard work. We honestly don't know what we would have done without her!

They make you dump it before you enter the seating area. The women at the entry was very rude when I asked why. So your only way to have water is to buy the small plastic bottles which are not great for drinking or for the environment. My suggestion would be to have a filling station inside the venue so people with water bottles could drink water for free in their own vessels.
