Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm - Goleta, California

Max Kool

Dos Pueblos was our dream wedding venue and did NOT disappoint. The bluff and coastline made for unforgettable photos. The orchid greenhouse was such a beautiful addition and did not need many (or any, really) additional florals. The entire experience was amazing. Best sunset of our lives too

Overall, the Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm is a top-notch venue for couples looking to tie the knot in a beautiful and unique setting. Dos Pueblos does not let you down. From the breathtaking views and stunning gardens to the accommodating staff and endless photo opportunities, it truly has it all.

The Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm is located in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains. The venue itself is nestled among acres of lush gardens filled with green houses and massive fig trees and other greenery, providing a picturesque and serene setting for your wedding.

The venue offers a variety of outdoor and indoor spaces to choose from, including a cliff side ceremony location with the ocean and mountains as your backdrop, beautiful green houses for your reception and cocktail hour, and all the unique character of the Santa Barbara landscape wrapped up into one spot. The staff is also very accommodating and will work with you to ensure that your wedding is exactly what you envision.

As a wedding photographer, I can attest to the fact that the Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm is so incredible to shoot at. The natural beauty of the venue, the architecture and natural light in the green houses, combined with the endless photo opportunities provided by the incredibly beautiful fig trees and surrounding landscape, make it a photographer's paradise. Whether you're looking for intimate, candid shots, or grand, sweeping landscapes, you'll find it all at here.

Highlight recommend and here are few photos I took at the last wedding here.

Absolutely stunning wedding venue that offers a spacious yet intimate greenhouse space as well as cliffside views of the ocean. Honestly one of the best combos for a wedding! I'm a wedding photographer who has been lucky enough to photograph three events here now and am IN LOVE. Hoping to share a few images that can give couples an idea of what this space can look like 🙂 (All photos by Alexandria Monette Photography)

Many reviews about wedding venue spaces online are from the couple’s perspective. I thought it might be helpful to offer a different point of view. I would like to offer the light and lines perspective of how Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm unfolds from a wedding photographer’s perspective for all the future bride and grooms who may be considering getting married there. So let’s dive into it.

As someone who sees spaces compositionally, the light, and lines and shapes sit on top of the colors and layers of foreground and background. The first thing anyone experiences when first visiting Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm to scout it out for their wedding is the serene quietness and peaceful energy of the space. Located on the north end of Goleta, you’re past the edges of the homes and businesses and into the topography of how the land was cultivated before Santa Barbara and Goleta grew. It feels like a step back in time when you walk through the glass house and old orchid show room. Capturing the energy and ambiance of this space and how the guest’s experience it shows through in the final images. The green house has layer after layer of beautiful foliage to play with compositionally. The relaxed and connected experience the natural space gives off shows up in the wedding guests candid moments. All around the property are layers. Layer of texture, layers of color, layers of reflection; and all these layers come along with incredible light. The orchid farm was in it’s past a display room for orchids. The organic pathway that finds its way through the glass house has an almost meandering direction. These curves let me layer direction in the composition along with the background foliage from the showroom. The slight curves and dramatic greenery layer compositionally really well for moments like the first look, bridal party photos, and bride and groom photos. I specialize in candid wedding photography and so for me, having a venue like Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm gives me many isolated spaces. Quiet spaces of isolation are very important for me to use for the bride and groom to connect authentically without people watching or an audience. This is key to creating excellent candid wedding photography. Spaces like the green house, the orchid display room, the exterior of the green house rows, the interior of the barn yard and even the green space behind the main house let’s me facilitate an energetic space to get still quiet moments of connection and laughing that help me capturing their authentic personalities.

As a local Santa Barbara wedding photographer I have experienced many different spaces and how they unfold from a guest’s and day-of perspective. The layout, lighting, and layers of Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm create an intimate space where your wedding feels separated in time from the rest of the world. I absolutely LOVE photographing and creating amazing art in this space!

Went today for the first for a B-day party . What a hidden gem . Didn't even know the place existed until a few weeks ago . Great indoor and out door skate park . Great ramps . I had as much fun as the the kids . Will definitely make this a regular destination.

My husband and I just got married here and it truly was our dream wedding. It is as gorgeous as all the photos show. There are so many diverse places to take photos and you really can make the space your own. If you want a venue that provides everything for you and has inclusive packages, this wouldn't be for you.

We got married at the fig tree rather than the bluff which was easier on logistics and cost, but was beautiful in its own right. Beth was responsive and worked well with our planner and vendors. They were flexible with our needs and never tried to get more money out of us. So many vendors are familiar with the Orchid Farm and love working there. We are still having guests ask us how we found such a gem venue. It is such a unique space and one that I will never forget as our wedding location. Truly can't recommend enough.
