Some weddings feel better when the pace is slower. At Ella’s Vineyard, we focus on weekend weddings that give couples time to settle in, gather their closest people, and enjoy the Central Coast setting without feeling rushed. Our Creston vineyard estate sits near Paso Robles, with rolling hills, a farmhouse, and a ceremony setting beneath a centuries-old oak tree. For couples planning a smaller celebration, the property offers a personal, warm, and relaxed place to spend meaningful time with the people who matter most. That extra time allows the weekend to feel less like a schedule and more like a shared experience, with quiet mornings, easy conversations, and room for real connection all weekend.

Ella's Vineyard in Creston hosts micro weddings for up to 40 guests near Paso Robles, with a ceremony setting beneath a centuries-old oak tree, a farmhouse sleeping up to 14 guests, and a weekend pace that gives couples and guests unhurried time together on the hilltop estate. Outside catering is welcome through an open vendor policy, day-of coordination is included, and a licensed bartender is required for beer, wine, and up to two signature cocktails.

A Slower Wedding Weekend in the Heart of the Vineyard

A wedding weekend gives you space to breathe before the ceremony day begins. At Ella’s Vineyard, couples can enjoy more than a quick event window. The on-site farmhouse accommodates up to 14 guests, which keeps your closest people nearby and helps the weekend feel more connected. You can wake up on the property, take in the vineyard views, and start the day without feeling pulled in several directions. That extra time makes the celebration feel calmer, more personal, and easier to enjoy. It also gives families and friends more chances to share meals, relax together, and settle into the setting before the main moments of the wedding day arrive.

Say Your Vows Beneath the Oak Tree

Many couples are drawn to our venue for the oak-tree ceremony setting. It gives the ceremony a natural focal point and creates a quiet, meaningful space for your vows. The tree, farmhouse, vineyards, and rolling hills all come together in a way that feels simple and personal. We also offer multiple ceremony locations, so couples can choose the setting that best fits their day. With a current guest limit of up to 40, the ceremony feels close, intentional, and centered on the people who are truly part of your story. This kind of setting lets guests stay fully present while giving the ceremony a grounded vineyard atmosphere that feels peaceful, sincere, and connected to the Central Coast landscape around you.

Create a More Personal Guest Experience

A smaller wedding often gives you more time with each guest. Our current micro wedding package is $5,000 for up to 40 guests. Guests can enjoy the vineyard setting, golden-hour light, farmhouse views, and open Central Coast scenery without feeling as if they are moving through a large event space. The property has the feel of a private backyard with wide hilltop views, giving your wedding a relaxed, personal atmosphere from the moment everyone arrives. It also gives couples more room to slow down, share real conversations, enjoy quiet moments, and let the weekend unfold naturally with their closest people gathered around them.

Keep Catering and Bar Plans Simple

Ella’s Vineyard has an open vendor policy, and outside catering is allowed. That gives couples room to choose food that suits their guests and the weekend's style. For bar service, couples need a licensed bartender. Beer and wine are allowed, along with two signature cocktails within the four-hour time limit. These details help create a clear planning path while still giving you room to personalize the experience. Possible onsite round tables and cross-back chairs are still in the works, so ask our team for the latest availability. This flexibility helps couples shape the weekend around their own tastes, comfort levels, and guests’ needs while keeping the planning process simple, clear, and easy to manage.

A Wedding Setting That Feels Like Yours

The best part of a weekend wedding at our venue is how personal it can feel. The property does not feel like a commercial venue. It feels like a relaxed Central Coast gathering place with vineyard views, a farmhouse, an oak tree ceremony setting, and room to enjoy the people around you. Couples choose us because they want more than a short event. They want time, privacy, and a setting that helps the whole weekend feel meaningful from start to finish. That slower pace gives families space to settle in, share unhurried conversations, enjoy quiet vineyard moments, and leave with memories that feel genuine, grounded, lasting, and fully their own together.
