    Pescadero's Historic McCormick House was my dream venue for our wedding, I was really searching for a place that didn't feel generic and this place checked all the boxes. From the moment we first spoke with the owners, Lisa and Victor, we felt like we were part of their family. Their warm and authentic presence put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is incredibly charming, with historic character and beautiful natural surroundings, it's also situated perfectly at the end of Pescadero's main street so its private but at the same time just a few steps away from a market, local coffee shop and historic saloon! Lisa and Victor went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to, and we received so many compliments from our guests on the overall beauty and comfort of the space. We're so grateful to have celebrated our wedding here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any couple looking for a truly memorable experience.

    This unique old place offers everything wonderful and authentic about the south coast: lovely views, gardens, and an elegant but homey vibe. Lots of care goes into making things perfect for guests. The art, the decor, the grounds are all beautiful, and we were received very warmly.
