Jardines started catering weddings almost right from the beginning, back in 1977. They might have been small, big, indoors or out doors, but one thing that always has held true, we have always managed to please those two very important people on that special day. We have committed ourselves to always keeping up with current trends within our capabilities and delivering the professional service and quality food we have committed ourselves to.

We have the most magnificent gardens in the county. Our Spanish colonial style gardens are a landmark that is beautiful, full of life, color, and aroma. An eclectic array of fruit trees, flowers, native and imported trees are pulled together with brick paths and beautiful patios, making for a wonderful place to hold your wedding.

Susan Botelho, our Restaurant Manager coordinates all weddings and special events. She has been employed by Jardines for the past 20 years, and has eagerly taken the responsibility of making that special day a very memorable one. If you need availability of dates or if you have any questions please feel free to call her for an appointment at 831-623-4466. Best times to reach Susan are Thursdays through Sundays and Tuesdays, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The area we use for large weddings is the back courtyard. You must have at least 100 guests in order to reserve this area and the maximum is 200. If you are having both the reception along with the actual ceremony the maximum is 150 guests. At this time we don't have an indoor facility to hold more than 85 guests, so the time of year you choose to have your wedding reception is very important if you are having more then 85 attend May through October are the months we usually book most of our weddings.
