About Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm
Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm is not your typical wedding venue.
This working greenhouse and orchid farm sits on historic ranchland along the Gaviota Coast between Santa Barbara and Goleta, offering couples an utterly unique wedding experience surrounded by exotic orchids, tropical plants, and stunning Pacific Ocean views.
The property's history is rich - from Native American heritage to its legacy as a world-class orchid cultivation facility. Today, it's one of California's most exclusive wedding venues, hosting intimate to mid-size celebrations in a setting that feels both wild and sophisticated.
What makes Dos Pueblos special is the greenhouse itself. The glass structure, tropical atmosphere, and botanical abundance create a naturally romantic backdrop that's unlike any traditional venue. Couples choosing Dos Pueblos value authenticity, natural beauty, and celebrations that feel connected to nature and place.
As San Diego-based destination wedding florists experienced with Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm, we understand how to work within this unique environment—creating florals that enhance the existing botanical beauty without competing with the venue's dramatic character.
The Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm Wedding Experience
The Greenhouse
The main ceremony and reception space is the working greenhouse itself—a stunning glass structure filled with orchids, tropical plants, and climbing vines. The existing botanical environment is spectacular, and we design florals that work with, not against, this natural abundance. Think elevated, artistic installations that complement the wild greenhouse aesthetic.
Ceremony Locations
Couples typically exchange vows inside the greenhouse surrounded by the orchid collection, or on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Both options offer dramatic natural beauty that requires thoughtful, intentional floral design rather than over-styling.
Reception Setting
Receptions take place within or adjacent to the greenhouse, often under clear-top tents that allow views of the stars and surrounding landscape. The tropical atmosphere creates a magical, intimate feeling for dinner and dancing.
The Botanical Backdrop
Unlike traditional venues requiring extensive floral installations to create atmosphere, Dos Pueblos already has it. The thousands of orchids, lush foliage, and greenhouse architecture provide built-in beauty. Our role is to add layers of sophistication through carefully placed arrangements, elevated centerpieces, and personal touches that make the space feel curated for your celebration.
Ocean Views & Coastal Setting
The property's location on the Gaviota Coast means stunning ocean views, coastal breezes, and the feeling of being transported to a tropical destination—despite being just 30 minutes from Santa Barbara.

Within 2 weeks, you'll receive a detailed design proposal including mood boards, suggested florals that work with the greenhouse aesthetic, and transparent pricing. Our proposals consider the venue's tropical character and how to enhance it.
-
Sign your contract and submit a 30% retainer to secure your Dos Pueblos wedding date. We only take 8-12 weddings per year, and this venue books far in advance - often 12-18 months out.
-
6-8 weeks before your wedding, we finalize all details. For Dos Pueblos weddings (in our $25k+ range), complimentary floral samples are always included. We coordinate closely with the venue team and your planner.

Design Approach for
Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm
Complement, Don't Compete
The greenhouse is already filled with thousands of orchids and tropical plants. Our approach is to enhance this botanical abundance with elevated, sophisticated touches rather than overwhelming it with excessive florals.
Tropical Luxury
While the venue has a tropical vibe, we approach it with sophistication. Think elevated botanical designs—interesting textures, unexpected color combinations, and arrangements that feel both wild and refined.
Work with Orchids
Dos Pueblos is an orchid farm, so incorporating orchids into your floral design makes sense. We source unique orchid varieties to complement the venue's collection, using them in ways that feel intentional and elevated.
Greenhouse-Appropriate Scale
The glass structure is intimate despite its openness. Floral installations need appropriate scale—substantial enough to make an impact but not so large they overtake the space.
Color Palettes
The venue's lush green backdrop and tropical atmosphere work beautifully with a range of palettes. Popular choices include: whites and greens for clean elegance, jewel tones for dramatic luxury, pastels for romantic softness, or bold tropical colors that embrace the setting.
Indoor/Outdoor Flow
Many Dos Pueblos weddings incorporate both the greenhouse interior and outdoor spaces. We design cohesive florals that transition beautifully between these areas.
What Makes Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm So Special?
Utterly Unique
There's truly no other venue like Dos Pueblos. The combination of working greenhouse, orchid collection, ocean views, and historic ranchland creates an experience guests will never forget.
Botanical Beauty
The thousands of orchids and tropical plants create natural drama and romance. You're getting married inside a living, breathing botanical environment—not a ballroom requiring transformation.
Exclusive & Intimate
Dos Pueblos hosts limited weddings each year, ensuring your celebration feels exclusive and special. The venue accommodates 200 guests maximum, creating an intimate atmosphere even for larger weddings.
Santa Barbara Coast Location
Located on the Gaviota Coast, the property offers stunning Pacific Ocean views and the feeling of a tropical destination while remaining accessible from Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and beyond.
Historic Significance
The property's rich history—from Native American heritage to its legacy as a world-renowned orchid cultivation facility—adds depth and meaning to your celebration.
Authentic Experience
This is a working orchid farm, not a manufactured event space. The authenticity and connection to place appeal to couples seeking meaningful, unique celebrations.
