About this venue

Living Well Event Center is a private 4.5-acre estate in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Los Gatos, about 20 minutes from San Jose. Not a banquet hall. You have the whole property for your block: a 2,000 sq ft redwood deck for ceremony and reception, a fruit orchard, a 150-foot water garden and waterfall, and views to Monterey Bay and the Pacific. Up to 80 guests; 80 is a firm limit. Indoor space (~1,800 sq ft) and a full kitchen are included, so weather is covered. Bring your own vendors. Greg and Patty stay on site the whole time. Hindu and South Asian weddings are welcome, including multi-day celebrations. Mandap setups and Baraat processions are fine. We welcome the sacred Havan for the Pheras, indoors or outdoors, with proper fire protection; your pandit brings the sacred fire bowl (our patio fire pit is separate and for cool evenings). Morning ceremonies and vegetarian Indian catering work well here.

    Amazing!

    We loved having our wedding at Living Well! We wanted a wedding in a natural setting and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. So many of our guests expressed their appreciation of the venue and were in awe of the view!! Brad and I felt very supported at every stage of planning and would absolutely recommend having any celebration here! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at Living Well Event Center. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect and truly made for the wedding of our dreams. Working with Greg and Patty was such a joy. They were incredibly easy to communicate with—always responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we hoped it would be. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Their professionalism combined with their personal touch really set them apart. The venue itself is stunning and has a welcoming charm that made our guests feel right at home. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it was clear that Greg and Patty truly care about each couple they work with. If you're looking for a venue where you'll feel supported, heard, and completely at ease, Living Well Event Center is the place. It was more than just a location—it was the perfect setting for a day we will never forget 🥹
