Mt. Woodson Castle began in 1909 as a private home, built over more than a decade by San Diego designer Amy Strong. She chose stone straight from the slopes of Mt. Woodson and used eucalyptus, oak, and redwood cut on the property. The adobe brick on the second story was formed on-site from local clay, and the roof tiles are believed to have come from the old San Gabriel Mission. No chalk lines were used during construction, so the floors and rooflines aren't perfectly straight, which is exactly what gives the estate its character. Today the 12,000-square-foot, 27-room estate has 8-foot-thick walls, four fireplaces, and a Great Hall with a 16-foot ceiling. A working windmill that once pumped water from natural springs still stands on the grounds.

Venue Highlights
Ceremony Spaces, Indoors and Out
Two outdoor ceremony sites sit beneath mature trees with sweeping mountain views and the castle's stone facade as a backdrop, one open to the sky and one set in a more sheltered natural alcove. For an indoor ceremony, the Great Hall offers wood-beamed ceilings, floor-to-ceiling stone walls, and natural light through the original windows, a space that works equally well for an intimate seated event or a full celebration.
