Weddings, Receptions, &
Special Events
In addition to being a beautiful garden wedding and reception
setting for San Luis Obispo County locals, the Kaleidoscope
Inn & Gardens is a great location for a Destination Wedding.
Located in the California Central Coast, we are midway between
San Francisco and LA, and only 2 hours west of the Fresno/Bakersfield
areas!
A recent Jeopardy episode revealed what all Nipomoites already
know....the question was 'What town boasts the best weather
in the US?' and the answer was "Nipomo, CA". Just
the right weather for a garden wedding through the month of
October! See historical temperature and precipitation averages
at this link.
The Kaleidoscope Inn and Gardens was renovated to recreate
the elegance and charm of the Victorian era. The acre of lush,
flower-filled gardens provides a unique, gracious, unforgettably
elegant setting that you and your guests will remember forever!
Garden Weddings &
Receptions. Our site can easily accommodate up to
300 guests. Our weather is perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall
garden weddings. We do not recommend Winter weddings (i.e.,
Jan, Feb, March), but will schedule a winter wedding if that
is your chosen timeframe. To ensure that your wedding receives
all of the special attention that it merits, we hold only one
wedding per day.
- In 2007, BeachCalifornia.com
featured a February wedding at the Kaleidoscope Inn on their
website.
