While The Huntington has offered the gardens as a location for wedding photography for the past several years, for the first time we are offering the opportunity for very special wedding celebrations.

All weddings must be coordinated through one of our selected event planners. For more information, please contact one of the following planners and/or read the FAQs.

wedding_Q

Is there a particular location at The Huntington for weddings and receptions?

 

weddingJ3A

Any outdoor garden area is open for consideration, limited only by logistics (especially wedding size) and previously scheduled commitments. The massed blooms of the Rose Garden; the delicate lines of the Japanese Garden; the bridges, lake, and pavilions of the Chinese garden; and the formal lawn and rows of statuary on the North Vista are favorite choices, but the 207-acre property includes many other options. Some images are available on the Web site devoted to filming at The Huntington, but there is no substitute for a site visit.


wedding_Q

Can I tour the property to see the available locations?

 

Yes. Please visit Hours and Admission for visitor information.


wedding_Q

What does it cost?


We charge a facilities use fee of $100,000.00 for a wedding and reception. Because we will accommodate only a few weddings each year, the use fee amount has been established to ensure an extraordinary wedding experience of remarkable cachet on The Huntington estate grounds.


wedding_Q

What does that fee include?


It includes scheduled access for vendors on set-up and tear-down days, as well as the day of the event; scheduled access for guests on the day of the event; and an engagement portrait session and a wedding photography session. It includes your choice of location(s), to be selected in consultation with The Huntington and one of our event planners, based on your vision for the wedding—the projected size, date, time, and the logistical details that will be determined by those decisions. In other words, nearly anything is possible—we just need to figure out how to make it work. The fee does not include catering, flowers, musicians, security required by The Huntington, cost of event planner, etc.

wedding_Q

Can I select my own caterer?


Yes, or you can use our on-site caterer, Sodexo.

wedding_Q

What are the hours?


Amplified sound must stop by 10 p.m, and there are restrictions on truck traffic after 9 p.m. Other than that, event times are flexible, although weddings scheduled to begin before The Huntington closes to the general public (4:30 pm) may want to make special provisions (such as hedges or draperies) to ensure privacy.

wedding_Q

What is the capacity?


This will vary depending on the location you select. Some locations, like the lawn adjacent to the Huntington mansion and the North Vista, can accommodate as many as 400–500 guests;  smaller areas, such as the Japanese Garden, will not be able to accommodate that many.

wedding_Q

May we put up a tent?


Yes, and there are several flat lawns that would be suitable.

wedding_Q

Are there any available spaces indoors?


Interior spaces, such as the art galleries or Library, are not available for weddings or receptions, although they may be opened, by pre-arrangement, for your guests to tour. The terrace of the Huntington Art Gallery, and the covered loggias of both the Huntington Art Gallery and the Scott Galleries of American Art are available.

wedding_Q

How do I book?


All weddings must be booked through one of our selected event planners above.

wedding_Q

I already have a wedding planner. Do I still have to use one of yours?



Yes. Any of our event planners/producers will be happy to work with your wedding planner. Together with your wedding planner, take a look at the Web sites of our event producers and contact them to determine which one you would like to work with.

wedding_Q

May I take my wedding photos at The Huntington if I am getting married elsewhere?


Yes. Wedding and professional portrait photography sessions may be scheduled by appointment. Location fees and certain restrictions apply. For details and fees contact portraitphoto@huntington.org, or call 626-405-3426.
