Quintessential Santa Cruz Wedding

If You Are To Be Wed on the fly yet with fierce beauty, a 'guerrilla wedding' so to speak, Santa Cruz and environs, from beaches to headlands to redwood mountains, is resplendent with special places, serene and wild.



Then, there are certain venues in urban space, quintessential Santa Cruz, that lend themselves also, either to the pre-planned, and/or to the impromptu Santa Cruz Wedding; Wed outside and adjourn to a cool venue, Wed & Sup in the same location, or Wed inside on a real theatre stage!



The City of Santa Cruz, betwixt mountain and ocean, has a micro-climate that can defy any forecast. Should the weather prove inclement; chill coastal fog blanketing the forever blue sky or, in the Rainy Season, a storm front deluge, you will find these locales are cherished and relished for abiding and sound reason.

Chocolate on Pacific Avenue
"Weddings are fun when everyone gets a chocolate truffle"

With a little notice, David, owner of Chocolate, can sometimes reserve the sidewalk patio (complete with fountain & privacy foliage) for your Ceremony at Chocolate, AND provide the most delectable truffles you could imagine (besides award-winning California fusion-cuisine full dinner menu). You could also book the indoor party room - both spaces have capacity of 25 seated (or marginally more for buffet).

Note: a wedding party would never get an exclusive reservation of Chocolate, since the disappointment of destination regulars being turned away would be too immense!
Address: 1522 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Phone Number: (831) 427-9900

​FURTHER HAPPY NOTE: Chocolate on Pacific recommends: ADOBE ON THE GREEN Bed & Breakfast, right in the center of downtown Santa Cruz, yet a sweet garden haven of secret delight.
