Working with Kathy was a great experience. She worked with us to put together a beautiful ceremony (not a dry eye in the house) and was very professional and organized. We loved working with her.

Working with Sara was a true pleasure. My Save-The-Dates, Invitations and Thank You cards were all a hit. I continue to receive compliments about them and the entire theme (I purchased the wedding theme and used it on other items). Sara was very patient with me as I took time trying to figure out what I actually wanted from her. I would definitely recommend her to others and hope to work with her again in the future.
Our wedding cupcakes were a hit! Sibby was a pleasure to work with

I can't say enough great things about my experience at Oceano. From the time I met Nancy and walked through the hotel (in late 2008), I knew I would have my wedding there. We looked at many different venues, but I couldn't stop thinking about how comfortable I was at Oceano (and with Nancy). By the end of my experience, Nancy felt like extended family to us. She was there all the way through to answer all of my silly questions and to ensure that everything was executed perfectly. Her staff is amazing and extremely competent as well. Many guests and bridal party members commented on how fabulous everyone was at the hotel and all had a great experience. Our wedding (and the entire weekend at Oceano) was an amazing experience and we are so happy with our decision. I would highly recommend Oceano as a ceremony and reception venue for your wedding.
Spencer performed at our wedding at Oceano Hotel (Half Moon Bay) in August. Overall, his role as a guitarist was well received by all and the music sounded beautiful. He was very organized and professional at all times. As a DJ, I would have to report that he was our least favorite of all of the vendors. After I created the "must play" list for our reception, I found that he played a number of songs not on our list that didn't go over so well with the crowd (dance floor empty). I expected that he could read the crowd better than I, however, his songs did not necessarily bring people out to dance (which begged the question as to why he wasn't playing any of our requested songs at that time). In addition, many people had requested songs and later came up to me to report that he refused to play these songs (sometimes indicating that I didn't want those songs played-untrue). For the record, I did not have any songs on my "do not play" list. Some guests were not very happy with him. I had also requested that he announce two of my guests' anniversaries during dinner. Spencer did not want to do this and recommended that he hand me the microphone to announce it myself (which I preferred not to do). When I inquired about the announcement he reported back that he had done so, however, not one of our guests even heard the announcement, especially the intended guests. In addition, I had made note in my paperwork that we may want to extend our reception for 1 hour (to 11pm), yet at 10pm he played the last song and shut down without ever contacting us first. The dance floor was packed at the time and by the time the song ended, he had taken off his equipment and was starting to wrap up. We were pretty disappointed and would have definitely kept the party going for another hour had he checked in with us.
