California’s wedding venues are legendary, bringing forth visions of seaside celebrations, golden rolling hills, and charming wineries. San Diego is a fan favorite for laid back beachy bashes, the Los Angeles area draws both the glam and trendsetting crowds, and the Bay Area is a go-to for elegant affairs in natural settings. But what about the 400 miles in between northern and southern California?  Central California is home to a wealth of wedding venues ranging from wineries in Paso Robles to oceanfront hotels in Big Sur to hidden amphitheaters in the Santa Cruz mountains. Today we’re exploring everything in between the west coast’s biggest cities, so come along as we uncover central California’s most beautiful wedding venues. Reporter: Heather Ash

If you’ve ever spent much time camping, you know it’s all about the gear. You have to have the right size tent that’s light and easy to pack down, a portable stovetop for cooking meals and getting that essential morning coffee ready, comfy sleeping bags and so much more. We say leave the fuss for someone else to handle and book into a place that does it all for you instead! Opt for a glamping trip and you can still enjoy all the perks of camping - like fireside chats and time spent under the stars - with none of the hassle. Best of all, this is the easiest way to bring a whole bunch of friends along for the ride. We’re excited about a lot of tented campsites this summer, from a luxurious bubble tent in the Maldives to a Bedouin safari camp in Wadi Rum. There are Airstreams throughout America that can be rented for special gatherings or just to sleep in for a night or two, as well as tiny cabins in the countryside that have all the Hygge you could possibly desire. So, grab your crew and get on out there under the stars. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

Here, we’re sharing our top picks for a corporate meeting, wellness retreat or group getaway that combines work and play in the Bay Area. Reporter: Alyssa Brown
