The BEST Garden Wedding Venues in Southern California
Southern California’s best garden venues
If you’re dreaming up a wedding where you’re surrounded by lush greenery or shaded by palm trees, this is for you! Read on for information about the best garden wedding venues around the SoCal or Los Angeles area. From Long Beach to Hollywood, I’ve compiled a few of my favorite garden-themed weddings from the past few years.
A Garden Venue with European Flair: The French Estate
This beautiful Orange County venue has been around since 1892! The French Estate is just ten minutes from California’s Disneyland - or about 40 miles from Los Angeles International Airport. There are only a few palm trees on the property, making it feel like you’re in a different country! Michelle + Jacob’s intimate wedding consisted of about 35 people - I think that’s the perfect sized event for this venue.
Historical Garden Wedding Venue Hidden in the Hollywood Hills: The Houdini Estate
The Houdini Estate is a lush, intimate wedding venue that brings together tons of interesting history and gorgeous scenery. Breanna + Eric got married in 2018 on the mosaic driveway at the mansion, with a reception held on the lawn! See more of their wedding here.
A Secret Garden in Long Beach: Rancho Los Cerritos
Rancho Los Cerritos is undoubtedly one of the most fragrant venues I’ve ever been to! Winding walkways encircle the main building, lined with flowers and herbs. This historical landmark is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a garden-inspired wedding near Long Beach!
A garden with a greenhouse: Heritage Park
Located in Santa Fe Springs, Heritage Park has a small but lovely greenhouse that makes a perfect backdrop for a gorgeous garden wedding.
Enchanted + Intimate: Franciscan Gardens Offers Endless Charm + Privacy
This venue’s located just a few blocks from the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California. Nicole + Justin tied the knot there in an epic wedding day that ended with the most high-energy dance party! See more of their wedding here.
