Question:
Hi:
The estate looks beautiful and so did you and your wedding? My boyfriend Pete and I are looking for a rustic or outdoor or beach setting around santa cruz. Do your Aunt and Uncle rent out their house at all?
Thank you!

Deirdre

Response from the couple:
Hi Deirdre,
Thank you for your inquiry. At this point we have not rented out my Aunt and Uncle's home, although we have talked about it. I just called them to see what they thought of the idea (as it is not a simple task) and will get back to you. Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time.

Thanks,
Heather

Question:
the site looks beautiful but i can't find any information on this site online. do you have a website or address for this venue. also, the tent from your pictures is beautiful, was this included with the site or did you rent it from someone. if you rented it who did you rent from. thank you, Suzie

Response from the couple:
Hi Suzie,
The site is my aunt and uncle's private home. The tent that was on the property was rented through a rental company that I would actually not recommend (Alexis Party Rentals). We have not rented out the house because my aunt and uncle are aprehensive about the noise to the neighbors and having to be out of their house for 3 days. You are not the first person to be interested. I guess if someone made them an offer (through me) that they could not refuse, then they might be willing to rent it out. Thanks.
Best,
Heather

Response:
heather -
Thank you so much for your response. in regards to the Alexis Party Rentals for the tent,why would you not recomend them? service, hidden costs? thank you for any feedback you might have.

Response:
sorry. i just saw your post on their company. sorry i'm still new to this website for information. thank you.

Response from the couple:
Hi Suzie - No problem. Also if you have feedback on the weddingmapper site on why it was difficult to navigate that would be great. I am friends with the person who started the site and I like to provide him with feedback of how he can make it better! Thank you.

Question:
I would love to find out if the property is rentable.
We are planning a small wedding 50 people or less. I have been looking for an estate for a while.
Let me know if they are willing to rent their property

Response from the couple:
Hi Danille,
As of now my aunt and uncle are not planning on renting their property, but as I told another bride if it was an offer they could not pass up then they may (especially for a smaller wedding of 50)! Thanks.

Response from the couple:
Hi Danille,
It may be too late by my Aunt and Uncle have agreed to rent their property for $10,000. Let me know if this is still of interest. Thank you.

Best,
Heather

Question:
Hi,
My fiance and I have been looking for a venue to have our wedding, but haven't had any luck thus far. I would be very interested in renting your aunt and uncle's estate. We would have around 200 guests, self-catered, no-alcohol, and it would be a evening wedding.We would only need the estate for one day. I'm not sure how much it would take for them to considered renting their house, but we would offer what we could. Also, how much was the tent to rent, if you don't mind my asking? As well as the wooden chairs; they look much nicer then the standard white. Well, thank you for your time and congratulations on what looked like a very happy and beautiful wedding. Thank you so much for your time.
God Bless,
Josh

Response from the couple:
Hi Josh,
I will contact my Aunt and Uncle and see what they say. I was down in Corralitos this past weekend and we talked about doing weddings at their house. They did say that if they decided to do them, that I would have to be there as the on site coordinator. I plan weddings for a living (www.hkendallevents.com) and said that I would be happy to be the on site coordinator. I believe the tent was somewhere in the $4,000 range - it was really 2 tents (one for dinner and one for dancing). You can email me on my personal email: [email hidden (log in to view)]. Thanks.
Best,
Heather

Response from the couple:
Hi Josh,
I spoke with my Aunt and Uncle and they would be willing to rent their property for $10,000. Let me know if this is still of interest to you. Thanks.

Best,
Heather

Question:
Your wedding looks exactly like what I have envisioned for my own.

We would lovvee to see it if this is a possibility!

Thanks in advance,

Photographer:

Alicia Brook

"Alicia and Brook are top notch photographers. I loved the photos of our wedding day. Our engagement photos turned out great as well. We definately splurged on the photos! The one complaint I have is that they are not very responsive after the event!"

Rentals Vendor:

Alexis Party Rentals

300 Natural Bridges Dr
Santa Cruz, CA, United States

"This vendor started out as a good rental company but progressively got wose! By the day of the event (large wedding) and after a year of working with them they were completely out of touch and we could not get answers on missing rentals and overages in rentals. No thanks to them the event went off without a hitch - mainly due to the caterers and wedding planner. Finally we received the bill and they over charged us by A LOT! It was completely unnacceptable! I will never use them again nor will I ever reccomend them! But worse than that our event planner and caterer will not use them again! They have a bad business sense!"
