Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Elevated SoCal ease meets Spanish Colonial character at this gorgeous landmark, where celebrations effortlessly flow between indoors and out. Set against the foothills of Claremont, the property offers a romantic mix of historic architecture—think red-tile roofs, brick, and flagstone—lush courtyards, and panoramic vistas of the Angeles National Forest.
- Exchange vows on the Sunset View Terrace as the canyon illuminates with a golden hour glow and the city's lights begin to gleam, then move into the Plaza Courtyard for cocktails amid olive trees, string lights, and terracotta-lined pathways. There's an easy elegance to the way your day unfolds, creating an immersive experience for guests from start to finish.
- Inside, the Theatre Ballroom provides a dramatic finish to your gathering: vaulted ceilings, wrought-iron chandeliers, and rich drapery evoke an elevated, luxurious vibe, and the open floor plan ensures everyone stays connected through the evening's events.
