    The Perfect Intimate Wedding Venue

    We had our intimate wedding at Sand Rock Farm and it was absolutely everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, the property had this magical Santa Cruz mountain vibe that instantly put us at ease. The lodging was cozy and comfortable, the kind of place that just feels like a warm hug. Waking up to find the downstairs fireplace already roaring was such a special touch. Little details like that made all the difference. And Jen’s breakfast? Incredible! Truly one of the best parts of the stay. But what really blew us away was how seamlessly our wedding day came together. Jen and her team handled every detail of the coordination so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, which is honestly priceless on your wedding day. Whether you’re planning a wedding or simply looking for a stunning getaway in the Santa Cruz mountains, Sand Rock Farm is the place. We can’t recommend it highly enough. We’ll definitely be back!

    Sand Rock Farm was a dream

    Sand Rock Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, Jen was incredibly understanding, clear, and concise in her communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. When we set foot on the venue, we were in awe. The property is surrounded by nature and the cabin has so much character and warmth. We could’ve have asked for anything else! Jen’s husband is an amazing cook and the food and cake turned out spectacularly. The day-of-coordinator handled things very well and she really just put us at ease. If you're lucky enough to stumble upon Sand Rock Farm, your wedding dreams have just came true!

    The Wedding of Your Dreams

    If your dream is to have your "big" day surrounded by natural beauty, an intimate venue and an informative, friendly staff you need to consider Sand Rock Farms. The property is full of charm, flows really well throughout the day and photographs beautifully. All the vendors and staff are kind, organized and genuinely care about the couples, which makes the day feel easy and well supported. I have worked at Sand Rock Farms and with Jen and Derek for well over 5 years and have loved every minute. Sand Rock Farms is truly a hidden gem.

    Jen Hagglof•Mar 3, 2026

    We are grateful for your review, Louisa! Our vendor relationships are so important and we value each and every vendor who helps make our clients' wedding dreams come to life! Here's to a wonderful 2026 wedding season - we look forward to working with you!

    A Magical Wedding at Sand Rock Farm

    Less than two hours south of San Francisco lies the most magical getaway along the Santa Cruz coastline. I first came upon this impossibly charming storybook B&B while searching for wedding venues, and from the few photos I was able to find online, it appeared to be something out of a fairytale.  Situated just 10 minutes from the ocean and tucked beneath giant California Redwoods of Aptos, is Sand Rock Farm Bed & Breakfast. From the redwood carriage barn, to the turn-of-the-century Craftsman home, and ivy covered stone walls of the winery ruin, it was everything I could have ever possibly dreamed. On my first stay, I knew this was an incredibly special place. We entered through a private gate and drove along a wooded pathway until arriving at a towering yet tranquil home with logs burning in the fireplace. The Arts & Crafts era house was filled with period details like dark wood finishes, original fixtures, and a formal dining room with wainscoting. A grand staircase leads to a second story with window nooks and guest rooms with en-suite baths. And in a neighboring grove, a giant redwood stands tall, a beacon of the property. AND THE FOOD... Derek, the chef, is amazing. The food is fresh, seasonal, and farm-to-table. His attention to seasonal, local ingredients mixed with bold flavors embody the adventurous spirit of this seaside town. From our first breakfast, he was accommodating and cognizant of my dietary preferences, an honorable quality among those with talent.   Staying in this magical getaway, get lost wandering paths through ten private acres, or stay cozy and curl up with a good book by the fire. We did both. All rooms have jacuzzi tubs, robes, WiFi and cable TV. See if you can fit in a long weekend by checking here. Or, even better, rent out the entire property for a company retreat, team-building exercise, family reunion, elopement, girl’s trip, guy’s trip, or family vacation. You will have access to 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, large dining room, gardens and a hot tub.  Having our wedding here was beyond my wildest dreams. It was everything I could have hoped for, from the on-site planner, florist (who was amazing!!), and chef (perfection!!), to the breathtaking backgrounds, and multiple settings for custom day flexibility. Jen was super easy to work with and it was far more affordable than other venues at the time. Plus, we loved that our wedding party could stay on-site - there was a great afterparty that ended with a jacuzzi and eating dinner leftovers in the kitchen! Also, conveniently located and very easy for guests to access. This place is truly something special, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit.  It makes me so happy to share it with you.

    Thank you for the great review, Jen and Daniel! Your wedding was one for the books! We hope you will visit Sand Rock Farm regularly with your growing family. Maybe a 10 year wedding reunion is in the works??? We hope so!
