Elegant Weddings in An Historic Home With Sweeping Views of Monterey Bay
Elegant Weddings in An Historic Home With Sweeping Views of Monterey Bay
Hollins House is staffed by an experienced team dedicated to working with you, guiding you
through decisions on food and drinks for guests, and details such as photography, flowers and
music. Margy Seifert, the events coordinator at Hollins House for over 20 years, specializes in
customizing the entire experience to meet your needs.
The Hollins House sits high on a hill above one of the nation’s top golf courses, Pasatiempo Golf
Club. Its clean, classic lines, large windows and french doors allow guests to move easily out of
the formal dining room and cozy bar out to a brick patio and grassy lawn. From there, guests can
relax under stunning coastal oak trees and look across Monterey Bay to Cypress Point watching
sailboats that dot the seascape far below. Golfers stroll leisurely across the manicured fairways
below where golfing greats such as Tiger Woods, Bobby Jones, Ken Venturi and many others have
competed.
Decades ago, this spectacular place was a playground for Hollywood greats and celebrities such
as Bing Crosby, Amelia Earhart, Spencer Tracy, Charlie Chaplin, Will Rogers, Joan Fontaine,
Mary Pickford, the Rothchilds and Vanderbilts, and Babe Zaharias. This relaxing setting within
Pasatiempo, certified as a sanctuary by Audubon International, serves as the perfect atmosphere
to put you and your guests at ease, and to make vows that you will remember forever. For a day,
you and your guests will write your own history at this wonderful home.

While many couples choose to take their vows during the summer months, Hollins House is an ideal
location for weddings year round. Pasatiempo is located on the “sunny side” of Monterey Bay, rarely
experiencing the fog that often blankets areas to the north or south. Summers are often cool and dry, and
winter days are often quite comfortable, with average temperatures up to 10 degrees warmer than other
towns in Northern California. Many couples choose to have their special day at Hollins House in the
winter, and are often surprised when guests linger outside on the patio to enjoy the spectacular views and
moderate temperatures. Our wood burning fireplaces inside providing extra warmth for guests who want
a cozy atmosphere.
