The Buellhouse at Zaca Creek 

5.0

BUELLTON, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $12,000

Zaca Creek has been an iconic landmark property in the Santa Ynez Valley for more than half a century. Much beloved by the locals for its deep roots in the history of Buellton; Zaca Creek has been resurrected after almost two decades of dormancy. Staying true to the history of the locale, the reclamation of this property was carefully centered around the founding principle of combining timeless resources of the highest quality with custom craftsmanship built to last. The transformation of this landmark establishment from the remodel, landscape, menu design and layout focus on the simple and time-tested philosophy of world-class materials and attention to detail in every aspect. The culmination of this is a masterfully reimagined establishment with nuanced flavors and old-world techniques. Our covered patio and inside tavern area are both open, with limited seating for both so reservations are recommended.

From the moment we first toured The Buellhouse at Zaca Creek, we were blown away by the warmth and kindness of the staff. Chelsea and her team were incredibly friendly, open, and caring throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue itself is simply gorgeous - classic, timeless, and beautifully maintained. We already loved Zaca Creek after a special previous stay, but this made it 10x as special. Chelsea was hands-on, going above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. The event went off without a hitch and we couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding at this stunning, one-of-a-kind venue. We are forever grateful to the entire Buellhouse team for making our special day so incredibly memorable.
