Venue

Soak in the historical architecture, breathtaking views and newly renovated intimate spaces.

The Ceremony Lawn

Our famous ceremony lawn overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and Los Angeles county to the north. On most days, you can see the Santa Monica mountains, purple on the horizon as well as the various beach towns bustling along the coastline. While some of our couples host their ceremony off-site, most opt to host their ceremony here on the Palos Verdes stone platform. We provide all ceremony seats, up to 200. Special features include hidden ceremony speakers, hidden power outlets, new St. Augustine grass, a Palos Verdes stone veranda and walkway, optional heaters and overhead lighting.

The Ballroom

With its original, hand-hewn ceilings and gorgeous working fireplace, the 930 sq. foot ballroom beautifully accommodates a space to dance while overlooking the entire Los Angeles skyline. The ballroom has six doors that swing wide open into the fresh ocean breeze. Featuring new floors, new speakers, and stylish chandeliers; the ballroom captures the charm of the twenties with the effectiveness of modern technology. Special features include dimmable lights, wireless mic, and all-season air conditioning.

The Courtyard

The Courtyard features a Spanish fountain with historic blue tile that acts as a centerpiece during your joyful and bubbly cocktail hour. The 1,050 sq. foot courtyard has Palos Verdes stone walkways, european-style arbors with crawling flowering vines. You can look up at the iconic cupola and hear background music through our new speaker system. Special features include: direct doors to newly renovated bathrooms, new walking path lighting, and walkways perfect for passed hors d’oeuvres or delicious grazing stations.

The Garden Rooms

Our dining rooms host the most magical moments. It’s all about the food. The massive windows in the Garden Rooms and adjacent Middle Room overlook the ocean to the north and our lush gardens to the east. The unique open doors and multi-leveled floor plan creates character, as if you’re inviting guests into your home. The garden rooms total 1,180 sq. feet in size. Special features include new speakers, wireless mic, new carpet, and new gold sconces.
