THE WEDDING VENUE
Ecomama Farms
Our love story began on the Central Coast, so we knew we wanted to explore wedding venues in this area, and after discovering the charming town of Santa Ynez, we felt drawn to find a venue there. Not to mention, it lies halfway in between where we both grew up - San Diego and Modesto.
Enter the incredible property at Ecomama Farms, a living testament to the power of sustainability, community, and the beauty of nature. One trip here, and we knew in our hearts that it was the perfect place to say “I do.”
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Note: Although we love your little ones, this is an adult-only affair.

If it’s necessary for you to park at the venue either night for any reason, please speak to Maddie before the event to discuss logistics, but we would love for all our guests to enjoy the shuttles we are providing.
There are LIMITED ride sharing options (Uber & Lyft) in the area, so if you plan to use one, please plan ahead. Also, it is important to let Maddie know beforehand if this is your plan, as there will be additional instructions of how to enter the venue.
Thank you for the consideration <3

Wine with the Newlyweds
Join us in Los Olivos at the Refugio Ranch Tasting Room for a glass (or a few) of wine from the local vineyards. The Anderson + Dycus families will be on the front patio from 1pm - 4pm, so stop by any time!
Find parking anywhere around Los Olivos, then walk on over. Los Olivos is filled with wineries and cute shops, so if you want to check out some other wineries before or after, we recommend making reservations online! Carhartt Family Wines is our favorite (yes, like the brand).
