    Bermuda Dunes by Wedgewood Weddings

    42765 Adams St, Bermuda Dunes, CA 92203, USA
    • Spaces for 250 Guests

    Say "I do" where legends played and Hollywood's golden era came alive. Bermuda Dunes by Wedgewood Weddings is one of the Coachella Valley's most storied addresses — a historic golf and country club community that has welcomed celebrities, champions, and tastemakers since 1959. Designed by William F. Bell with rolling dunes and palm-lined fairways inspired by coastal and British courses, the property carries a legacy that few venues can match. Arnold Palmer claimed his first PGA win here in 1960 and returned for his last in 1973. The Bob Hope Desert Classic called this course home for decades, and luminaries like Clark Gable and Cary Grant were regulars on the grounds. Today, Bermuda Dunes is being reimagined as a destination wedding venue without losing an ounce of that original character. The aesthetic is unmistakably mid-century modern — warm, sophisticated, and rooted in the desert luxury that defines Palm Springs style at its finest. Sweeping course views, lakeside ceremony settings, and sun-drenched outdoor terraces frame every celebration with natural drama. Nestled just outside Palm Springs, Bermuda Dunes draws couples from across Southern California and beyond who are looking for something more than a ballroom. This is a living landmark — a place where the fairways carry history, the architecture tells a story, and your wedding becomes part of a legacy that stretches back more than six decades.

    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.

The Presidio Chapel boasts a number of distinctive elements that draw history and art enthusiasts from all over the world. St Francis of Assisi (the namesake of San Francisco) is depicted alongside many historical personalities who helped develop the present stronghold on this site in Victor Arnautoff's famed fresco, which was produced in 1935. The fresco was painted before the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and you can see the Army Corps of Engineers debating the ideas on the right side of the wall. Willemina Ogterop (1881-1974), the first woman stained-glass artist west of the Mississippi to be inducted into the Stained Glass Artists Guild, designed the remarkable stained-glass windows. Ogterop was a multiculturalist who was involved in a number of peace and humanitarian groups and believed that everyone should practice compassion, which is a philosophy that many SF couples adhere to. A visit to the Presidio Chapel is a necessity because of these little-known artistic gems. If you are getting married or arranging an event, you will want to take a tour of this lovely specimen of Spanish Revival architecture and learn about its secrets! The Presidio event venues tours last about an hour, and you will get a behind-the-scenes look at many of the famed fortress sites.
