Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built in the Mediterranean Italianate style, this stately 1929 mansion is now the home of the non-profit Western Justice Center... and an exquisite setting for weddings. The home itself is truly magnificent, with a grand Palladian entry, hand-painted panels that adorn the coffered ceilings, and a pretty, bistro-lit courtyard perfect for outdoor ceremonies.
- You'll have all-day exclusive access to the space, including the living & dining rooms, foyer, mezzanine, kitchen, and dressing suites, along with beautiful wood and Chiavari chairs, a handcrafted arch, a vintage bar, and ample AV equipment. It's anything but a wedding factory: only 18 weddings are hosted here each year, ensuring each one is truly special.
- Every cent of your affordable rental fee goes directly towards the Western Justice Center, which supports programs that work with youth and educators to promote conflict resolution and social justice, confront bias and oppression, and break the school-to-prison pipeline.
