HANDCRAFTED WEDDINGS

Choose from multiple different ceremony sites for your perfect setting.
Orchard Barn
Perched high atop a gentle hillside this authentic redwood seed barn enjoys the fragrance of fruit blossoms and sweeping views of San Diego’s rocky hilltops.
Passion Vine Greenhouse

This evergreen archway is the first of its kind in Southern California, offering a unique microclimate beneath the canopy of leaves of over 200 suspended ferns. The abundant foliage offers partial to full shade providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for your guests to enjoy.

Brick and Timber Chapel

Venture down the fragrant jasmine laden pathway arbor and there, nestled among giant pine trees, you will discover a Chapel designed completely by using only brick & timber. Steeped in history, each brick was hand set by masons to create your private sanctuary. Giant open fir beam trusses adorn the ceilings over head, subtle artistically designed crosses embellish opaque glass windows offering your guests a peek of the whistling pine forests that surround.

Starry Night Meadow

Abundant sky day views and then starry nights surround this wide open grass meadow, the perfect setting for a unique ceremony in the round or alfresco reception. Perfectly surrounded by over 100 acres of certified organic farm land singing song birds, butterflies & even quail call the meadow their home. The hillside gardens feature four seasons and the edible flora that surround each make the meadow a truly unique experience for all.

Ethereal Garden Pergola

Forged bent iron pergola in an open air setting with climbing vines.

Ethereal Open Air Pavillion

Set foot on the lush green grass that gives the pavilion canopy a natural ambience. Gentle breezes waft through chef’s herb gardens of mint, basil, thyme & rosemary even the scent of edible French lavender. Imagine, elegant settings of table scapes on the grass in the shade of the peaked canopy all sides lifted wide open to a vanishing grass edge into the meadow below. Your guests are sure to be amazed as they have only seen this setting in celebrity magazines – now they are experiencing it.
