Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set on 305 acres at the foot the San Gabriel Mountains, this iconic racetrack has a remarkable legacy: opened in 1934 and known as "The Great Race Place," it's considered one of the world's pre-eminent tracks. It's also a phenomenal spot to host a celebration, thanks to a diverse range of indoor and outdoor event spaces, dedicated planning and culinary teams, and refreshingly affordable all-inclusive packages.
- Al fresco events can unfold entirely in the Paddock Gardens, with vows set against the massive Kingsbury Fountain and receptions unfolding against a striking Art Deco bandstand, framed by garden's colorful blooms, topiaries, and statues—which include the famous racehorse Seabiscuit. Or, take advantage of the remarkable mountain vistas with a celebration on the sweeping Infield.
- Embrace Old Hollywood glamour in the Chandelier Room, where luminaries, icons, and stars have gathered for nearly a century. Two spiral staircases wrap around the room's original 1930s chandeliers, leading to an expansive balcony that makes for a truly dramatic entrance. The prestigious Director's Room has a similarly grand feel, with a grand fireplace and walls paneled in imported antique wood, imparting a stately, Old World feel.
