Stepping onto our 4.5 acres feels like opening a love letter penned over a century ago. Adolfo Camarillo built the Queen Anne–style Mansion in 1892 for his bride Isabel, and that spirit of devotion still graces every porch railing, stained‑glass window, and sun‑dappled garden path on the property. Today, we invite couples to create their own chapter of the story—surrounded by history, framed by mountain views, and supported by a team that delights in turning “yes” into an unforgettable “I do.”
Our Architectural Jewel: The Mansion
The Mansion showcases classic Queen Anne elegance from its wrap‑around veranda to its ornate turret. Inside, hardwood floors gleam beneath crystal chandeliers, period wallpaper adds a hint of Victorian romance, and tall windows capture golden California light—perfect for intimate photos, cocktail hours, or a refined after‑dinner lounge. Upstairs, the bridal suite offers full‑length mirrors, private restrooms, and cozy seating for hair, makeup, and those joyful pre‑ceremony moments.
Gardens, Gazebo & Grand Lawn
Ceremonies bloom amid rose beds, heritage trees, and neatly trimmed hedges. Exchange vows beneath our white gazebo, arrange chairs to face sweeping lawn vistas or frame the aisle with fragrant blooms from spring through late autumn. Our grounds team maintains lush backdrops year‑round, so every season delivers a fresh palette: pastel blossoms in March, emerald lawns in June, and warm golden foliage in October.
The Rustic Red Barn
Built in the early 1900s and lovingly restored, our Red Barn blends vintage charm with modern comforts. Original wooden beams tower overhead, string lights twinkle between rafters, and polished concrete floors invite dancing long into the night. Whether you picture farmhouse tables draped in eucalyptus garlands or a sleek black‑tie dinner with shimmering chandeliers, the Barn adapts to your vision. Guests flow easily from cocktail hour on the adjacent patio to dinner inside, then back outdoors for late‑evening stargazing.
Groom’s Quarters & Pre‑Ceremony Comforts
Just steps from the Mansion, our groom’s quarters provide a relaxed space stocked with leather seating, a flat‑screen TV, game tables, and refreshments. Both suites open early, giving wedding parties ample time to settle nerves, share laughs, and capture candid photos.

Our wedding packages simplify planning while leaving room for personalization. All options feature:

Culinary Delights & Custom Bars
We partner with a curated roster of caterers celebrated for fresh, locally sourced menus—everything from coastal‑inspired hors d’oeuvres to gourmet vegan feasts. Sample tastings help finalize entrées, late‑night bites, and dessert buffets. Our licensed bar service designs craft cocktails, California‑focused wine lists, and non‑alcoholic refreshers. Signature his‑and‑hers drinks, champagne towers, and sustainable glassware upgrades are all available.
Trusted Vendor Network
Florists, photographers, DJs, live bands, décor specialists—our preferred vendors know the property’s nuances and share our high standards. Couples are welcome to bring beloved professionals, yet many appreciate the peace of mind that comes with seasoned partners who already know where the best sunset angle falls or how to rig specialty lighting in the Barn rafters.
Capacity, Flow & Floor Plans
The grounds accommodate up to 275 seated guests or 350 for a cocktail‑style reception. Popular itineraries include:
- Garden ceremony → Mansion veranda cocktails → Barn dinner & dancing

We provide detailed diagrams showing chair arrangements, buffet placements, dance‑floor sizing, and clear indoor‑outdoor transitions to maintain an effortless guest experience.
Picture‑Perfect Backdrops
Couples pose beneath canopies of century‑old eucalyptus, stroll beside white picket fences, and sneak sunset kisses in the citrus grove. The Mansion staircase, vintage carriage, and red‑brick walkways add timeless character to every album, while open lawn vistas showcase the Conejo Mountains in the distance.
Comfort & Accessibility
A paved parking lot, accessible pathways, and convenient restroom facilities keep guests comfortable. For larger celebrations, we coordinate shuttle or valet services. Out‑of‑town friends can choose from charming local inns and coastal resorts less than fifteen minutes away—we supply a lodging guide with exclusive room‑block contacts.
Seasonal Styling & Eco‑Friendly Touches
Spring weddings shine with pastel florals against emerald grass; summer soirées dazzle under bistro lights and warm evening skies; autumn events embrace burgundy linens and heirloom‑pumpkin centerpieces. Sustainability matters to us, so we encourage compostable dishware, recyclable décor elements, and food‑donation programs that extend celebration abundance to the community.
