A peaceful, private mountain setting where family and friends can gather, remember, and find comfort together.
Some of life’s most meaningful gatherings are about remembrance, gratitude, and the quiet honoring of someone who shaped our lives. These moments deserve a setting worthy of them — not a sterile banquet room, but somewhere alive with beauty, peace, and natural grace.
Living Well Event Center offers four private acres of ancient redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with a 100-foot waterfall, a fruit orchard, a fire pit, and sweeping views of Monterey Bay. It is a place where the natural world provides its own form of comfort, where guests can walk quietly among the trees, gather around the fire, and feel the presence of something larger than any single moment.
Greg and Patty are experienced, compassionate hosts who understand how much care these occasions require. Both are ordained officiants, available to lead or co-lead ceremonies with you. We are honored to be trusted with these most tender gatherings, and we approach them with the gentleness and respect they deserve.
