Celebrate Love at The Huntington’s Historic Estate

Create the elegant, breathtakingly romantic wedding celebration of your dreams amid the splendor of The Huntington’s exquisite estate gardens in beautiful San Marino. The Huntington is dedicated to ensuring that your event is spectacular in every way, reflects your personal style, and will be a day you will remember forever.

Wedding Tiers and Pricing

The Huntington is pleased to offer four distinct wedding tiers, with venues to accommodate a cocktail reception and dinner for up to 120 guests, another for up to 250 guests, and a bespoke wedding that includes ceremony, portrait photography, and bridal party lounges.

Wedding Tier pricing does not include food and beverage, music and entertainment, flowers, rentals, tents, supplemental security, and cost of event planner or producer, which is required for the wedding planning process.

Please note that due to the unique nature and location of our landmark property, we may hold only a few wedding celebrations each year and eligibility to host a wedding at The Huntington requires an active Society of Fellows membership.

We are unable to accommodate “ceremony only” weddings regardless of size or duration. Please note that wedding ceremonies are currently available only through the Rose Tier package.
