Kind Words
“I got married at The Penny and it was such an incredible experience working with Anelise and team from start to finish. We toured venues from Sacramento, CA to the Bay Area to Paso and a few others in SLO but fell in love with The Penny and their rental inventory from our very first visit. Their team made our wedding day go so seamlessly and we loved working with our vendor team from their preferred list of partners! Our guests loved the convenient location downtown and had a blast walking to the bars on Higuera after our reception ended.”
