  I lived in Santa Cruz for 6 years, so you be aware that a beach wedding( especially during the summer) can be 50 degrees and fogged in. Especially in Aptos. If you can head into the mountains, you should have nice weather.

  I would recommend checking out some of the County Parks.
  
  Highlands in Ben Lomond is gorgeous. It's inland, so it will be warmer. There's good parking and the rental fee is like $950, which includes many hours of use, a full kitchen, tables, chairs, dance area, bar, ceremony arch. I nearly almost had my wedding there.
