    Mt. Woodson Castle by Wedgewood Weddings

    16302 N Woodson Dr, Ramona, CA 92065, USA
    • Spaces for 60-250 Guests

    Perched in the rolling hills of Ramona, California, Mt. Woodson Castle is one of Southern California's most extraordinary event venues — a historic estate where old-world grandeur meets the natural beauty of the San Diego backcountry. Originally envisioned by renowned San Diego dress designer Amy Strong, construction began in 1909 and culminated in 1920 with a 12,000-square-foot, 27-room masterpiece that stands as a stunning embodiment of the American Craftsman Movement. Amy personally selected stones from the slopes of Mt. Woodson, and the home was built using eucalyptus, oak, and redwood harvested directly from the property. No chalk lines were ever used in construction — resulting in no perfect corners and intentionally uneven floors and rooflines that give the castle an irreplaceable sense of character. Four-foot-thick walls, a Great Hall with a soaring 16-foot ceiling, four fireplaces, and an eclectic architectural identity define this one-of-a-kind property. Mt. Woodson Castle offers an unforgettable experience just 40 minutes from downtown San Diego.
