5 Types of Wedding Locations You Need to Consider

 

Don’t hop on a plane to get a taste of the Tuscan sun, grab a bit of it in your own backyard at Sterling Hills by Wedgewood Weddings. While easily accessible to Los Angeles, Sterling Hills stands secluded in Camarillo, California for a more intimate celebration away from the city.

Now you may have been to a golf-course wedding before, but have you been to one with views of the rolling hills and Topanga Mountains of Ventura County? Not only that, but the Tuscan architecture of the clubhouse also pulls together the entire event and provides numerous photo backdrop variations for beautiful wedding portraits.

From the ceremony to the reception, Sterling Hills provides a glamorous venue that can be styled however you like. The Grand Ballroom is just steps away from the garden archway, to ensure that your guests will stay happy and entertained the whole time they’re celebrating. Spend your night celebrating on the dance floor or cozied up near the fireplace before closing out your wedding with a beautiful sparkler exit on the way to your honeymoon.

Historic Landmark

When you think of a historical landmark for a wedding, you may think old, rustic, rundown - but that is definitely not the case with our beautiful Officers’ Club at the Presidio in San Francisco. From the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture to the warm and inviting lounge, the spaces provided for your wedding can be as magnificent or minimalist as you’d like for your wedding day. Of course, the best part of this entire location is the heart of San Francisco itself - The Golden Gate Bridge. No matter where you are on the property, outdoors you will have magnificent views of the Golden Gate Bridge to take your wedding above and beyond all other venues. 

For this location, you have your choice of multiple ceremony and reception spaces. Moraga Hall can host reception and ceremony alike with its stunning exposed dark beams, wrought iron fixtures, chandeliers, and grand fireplace. Moraga Hall sits adjacent to the Hardie Courtyard, a perfect spot for cocktail hour, or small intimate ceremony space. The Courtyard has beautiful forest views coupled with the Spanish colonial architecture and is sure to be a prime spot for your photographer to take you for spectacular portraits. 

If you’d prefer to have an exclusive space away from it all, you can host your ceremony, reception, or both in the loft-style Ortega Ballroom. The exposed beams of the ceiling are met with a drop-dead gorgeous Spanish-style fireplace and panoramic views of the bay, perfect for a cozy winter or early spring wedding.

Looking for a more traditional ceremony site? The Chapel of Our Lady is just around the corner and is just as stunning as the other Officers' Club locations. With high exposed beams and stained-glass windows along with the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, Chapel of Our Lady is a must-have ceremony spot to complete your San Francisco wedding. 

The Mansion

At Wedgewood Weddings we love mansion venues, and our Jefferson Street Mansion, in Historic Benicia, California takes the glamor and glitz of weddings to a whole new level. Jefferson Street is another historic location that we get to include in our collection of venues; we love the Neo-Classical architecture that was preserved from the inside out in a massive effort back in 1998 by J. Reed Robbins.

The stunning white exterior leads into a mansion full of beautiful velvet draperies, two ballrooms, fireplaces, crown molding, and 12-foot-high windows in addition to antique gold framed art and chandeliers to tie the whole look together. Eat your heart out, Miss Scarlett.

Now, for the ceremony area - as you make your way down the stone steps from the mansion onto the aisle, a charming veranda strewn with wisteria displays overhead as its own romantic work of art. Views of the bay are your backdrop to the ceremony arbor, completing the entire look for when you say, ‘I do.’ If there aren’t at least five people happy crying during the ceremony, then something is terribly, terribly wrong. 

Just steps from the ceremony, your guests can partake in cocktail hour in the adjoining reception pavilion. The pavilion is large enough to host up to 200 friends and family while carrying on the class and elegance of the rest of the wedding site. The market lights inside the tented pavilion can be paired with any flowers or decorations to complete the final look of your wedding. From start to finish Jefferson Street Mansion by Wedgewood Weddings provides a high-end and romantic venue for any couple looking to tie the knot.
