I think my wife was happy with the experience. We were able to have a live band in the carriage house, and they have lots of connections with local caterers and bar services, so planning was pretty simple. Staff helped me put things together with check ins six months ahead of time and a few months out. They help you troubleshoot things like sound and table arrangement. They've got years of experience putting on weddings, and it shows. That alone was comforting.

It was surprisingly quiet even though it was graduation weekend, maybe due to renovation. Front desk concierge was very kind and got us checked in quickly. I didn't have any noise or cleaning issues while we were there. The location is GREAT for walking around Atascadero downtown, and a short drive to San Luis Obispo. We were able to walk to bars and restaurants, and keep our car right across the street from the hotel. There is also a little bakery right next door to the hotel with lots of food and drink options. I would definitely stay here again.

They had lots of good food and it was easy to serve and there's plenty of parking and it worked out fine. If you need a fancy fancy new everything new place, this maybe not fancy enough for you. But for us it filled the bill with plenty of space easy to use kitchen area and a lot of happy people. The prices were reasonable for rental and what can I say I'd use it again if I was throwing a big party. Give it a run by and review the place and see what you think.

I've been dancing for a few years, so I go to the intermediate class and then stay for the beginner class that immediately follows, which reinforces the basics for me. You learn 2-3 moves in either class to be able to dance immediately. The dance floor is well maintained and made of wood, which is the best surface to dance on. It is a former Grange Hall, so has a fun "retro" vibe. My favorite is swing dancing but I've also learned ballroom dances such as the Cha Cha Cha, Nightclub 2-Step, and Waltz.

The best part was honestly the atmosphere. Sitting outside at the picnic tables under the trees made for a really relaxing meal.

He and his wife have done an incredible job setting up a venue that not only looks spectacular, but makes it simple to coordinate and "plug in" a wide variety of vendors. In particular, we loved being able to stay on site before and after the wedding, taking the stress out of getting to and from the venue and allowing us more time to hang out with the bridal party. We also loved working with Molly, she was the perfect day-of coordinator who kept us on schedule both leading up to and throughout the day. Molly was incredibly responsive and informative as we worked with her the month our so leading up to the wedding. We went into the day with full confidence that she knew all the day of details and our priorities, and she didn't disappoint! She kept us stress free and laughing all day. The professionalism of the TGM staff and the amazing photos you can get on the hill behind the venue make The Grace Maralyn a must book wedding venue. We could not have been any happier with our choice.
