Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Dappled sunlight illuminates the curved glass bay windows and classical white columns of this 1903 Colonial Revival house, which reflects the elegance of a bygone era when the handsome two-story home was the heart of a large fruit ranch. Today, citrus, pomegranate, walnut and quince still grow among the sycamores and redwoods shading the aptly named property.
- Encircled by fragrant roses, a charming gazebo provides a romantic setting for your vows. Follow the "I do"s with dinner on the spacious adjoining terrace, or, in keeping with the turn-of-the-(last)-century atmosphere, you might want to hire a band to play in the gazebo and have your guests dance on the patio.
- Of the many reasons to hold your celebration at this nonprofit museum, perhaps the most satisfying is knowing that your fees go toward preserving the history of Walnut Creek for future generations. Of course, at the same time, you and your betrothed will be making a little history of your own.
