Wedgewood Weddings' Hacienda de la Flores is an open-air, all-weather location that basks in the California sun. The lush grounds serve as a natural backdrop for all events, while the distinctive structures provide breathtaking views. FLOWER MANSION In a 2,700 sq ft position, there is an open-air patio area with a central fountain, a huge lawn, and lovely gardens. VIPs will find beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, magnificent period elements, and an arched porch on the interior. THE PAVILION The fully enclosed circular patio grass and garden under this neo classical portico with Corinthian columns can accommodate up to 200 guests across 6,500 sq ft. The indoor bar, get-ready area, and facilities are immaculately kept to accommodate both formal and casual parties. Hacienda de las Flores by Wedgewood Weddings is renowned for: - Gorgeous nine-acre estate for open air events - Authentic Spanish mansion available for your exclusive use - Hints of neoclassical architecture via Corinthian column milieu and ironwork balustrades - Hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplace - Parkland gardens with cedar, pines, willows, palms, flowers and sparkling stone fountain - Ceremonies and receptions under the sun and stars In the middle of Moraga, California, stands the Hacienda de las Flores, a Spanish-style hacienda. The palace was formerly owned by the Moraga family, but in 1929, local entrepreneur Donald Laird Rheem was inspired to buy it and turn it into a colossal country club. As a result, the site incorporates two magnificent architectural styles: the original Spanish-style home and the spectacular neo-classical style with period ironwork. This blending of styles is seamless, yet also generates wonderful photo possibilities when you pose with your family and friends. Couples from Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek visit the Hacienda de lad Flores nowadays.
