Seriously the hottest up-and-coming venue in the entire Monterey Bay area - where the beautiful and unique grounds are only the surface! Every aspect of the venue has been carefully thought out to accommodate the wedding party, guests, and vendors perfectly. The tropical foliage of the ceremony lawn offered a stunning backdrop for our vows (plus the sweet scent that wafts from nearby strawberry fields). The reception area was the perfect size and layout for our guests to eat, drink, play games, and dance throughout the night - cozy but spacious at the same time. Brothers Ranch was so beautiful and so well designed that we really didn’t need many of our own decorations. Also a huge plus for us was having access to the space for the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday) so we had plenty of time for setup and we didn’t have to worry about cleanup at the end of our wedding night! But the true heart of this venue is Jessie and Jonathan Brothers. More gracious hosts than venue owners, they helped us every step of the way to have an amazing and stress-free wedding. They both went above and beyond running around the whole weekend handling all of the little details to provide a seamless experience for us and our guests, from giving golf cart rides between the reception and ceremony spaces to rolling out heaters after sundown. So a big thank you to Jessie and Jonathan and definitely book Brother Ranch - the best venue in all of Monterey Bay for an amazing, beautiful, stress-free, and super fun wedding!

Welcome. Karla has been an artist for as long as she has been alive. It all started when she was in preschool and thought that painting another pre-school student with paint was fun. Unfortunately, she got sent home that day, but the artist in her was born! Working with flowers, and making events beautiful for her clients, has provided Karla with an outlet that is very fulfilling for her. It creates a balance, and zen for her, which fills, balances, and feeds her soul.

From our first phone call, she understood my vision and was able to translate it into a detailed work order with transparent pricing. I didn’t even want to shop around after talking to her - I knew I could trust her to execute! Karla was able to create two distinct looks for our wedding with just a few hours of flip time. She and her team worked incredibly hard to design and set up hundreds of bud vases, over 1000 candles, a beautiful ceremony drapery installation, and more - she really made our dreams come to life. Karla’s professionalism shone through the entire process; she went above and beyond to take in new ideas from me, meet my family, and make sure I always felt comfortable with the process.

Event By Dawn

At Event by Dawn, I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. I’m here to guide you through the planning process, making it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

Long story short: hire Dawn!! Dawn coordinated our wedding at Waterfall Lodge and we could have asked for a more supportive, collaborative, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, caring person to coordinate our day. From the start, communication was easy and Dawn was very responsive, transparent, and helped us create a wedding that aligned with our goals, values, and budget. She provided us with tons of resources to help us execute our day - sample timelines, layouts, vendor lists, tips and tricks, and more (in addition to lots of email communication and very thoughtful meetings leading up to our big day). Our wedding day was truly a dream - better than we could’ve ever imagined - and I strongly believe it is largely in part because Dawn (and the rest of our vendor team that mostly came from Dawn’s recommendations) was so on it. We were 100% present for our wedding and at peace knowing Dawn was in charge of our day. From the bottom of my heart and top of my brain, I couldn’t recommend Dawn more!! Thank you, Dawn, for helping us create the most perfect day to celebrate our love. :)

She has great ideas and still kept us on track without ever making anything feel stressful. Every meeting felt productive and efficient, yet still personal and full of joy. We always felt heard, supported, and excited about the process. Her work is just stunning. The images we’ve seen so far are fresh, vibrant, and full of life and already feel like timeless memories we’ll treasure forever. She captured not only the beauty of the day but the emotion behind it, and I truly can’t wait to see the rest! Maria is more than just a photographer. She is a natural, a calming presence, and an absolute professional. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her document our wedding

We just completed a large wedding with Tom and his super crew. We provided the catering and they handled the bar. Even though they had a huge rush for the bar Tom and his crew where able to fill the orders fast and efficiently while keeping a happy and friendly demeanor. At one point one of there staff offered us help if we needed. Great to see a crew that is doing everything possible to help teh event as a whole run smooth for the host. Glad to work with Tom and crew anytime!

We are so thrilled that we hired 831 Catering for our wedding! Joseph, Kimberly, and their team were so great to work with and the food was incredible! We had a small, backyard family wedding of about 50 people, and everyone was so happy with their meals. We interviews a couple of local caters, and we were very impressed with Joseph and his recommdations for a menu. We had a grazing board, seasonal salads, steak (best steak ever!), fish, veggie pasta, seasonal vegetables, mashed pototoes, and small desert cakes. Joseph and Kimberly were such great people and so fantastic to work with. They made our whole day stress free. They arrived with their own set up and we can't recommend them enough!

Hi, I’m Misty, the owner of Girls on Tap Mobile Bar! Born and raised in Southern California, I fell in love with this beautiful area over a decade ago and turned my passion for crafting cocktails into a business. Girls on Tap is a dry-hire bartending service, which means you bring the alcohol, and we bring everything else — the creativity, the setup, the mixers, and of course, the fun! From custom signature drinks to professional service with a personal touch, my goal is to make your event stress-free, stylish, and unforgettable. Let’s shake things up and make your special day one to remember!

I can't say enough positive things about Girls on Tap. They went above any beyond anything I could have ever expected and would absolutely use them again in any venue as they have the whole process so easy and stress free. Their drinks were top notch and amazing. Their service was exceptional and all my guests felt the same. Really I can't recommend this vendor enough. Please if you are in the Santa Cruz area you must give Girls on Tap a shot and I promise you will not be disappointed at all. Really I could consider them for many different occasions where you wish to have professional bartending service. I thank them again for all they did to help make the process so easy and helped me every step pf the way ensuring an amazing wedding.
