Fallbrook Gardens

Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, but Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens is surely the most romantic. Grand Tradition is Southern California’s premier private wedding, reception, and special event destination. The Estate's thirty acres lie tucked away in a peaceful, rural valley surrounded by gently rolling hills and sparkling waters. The beauty will move you, the tranquility will ease you and the choice of three stunning wedding and reception venues means you will not have to compromise your dreams.

Traditional Venue - for couples seeking formality, the Beverly Mansion with it's massive Swarovski crystal chandeliers overlooking our heart-shaped lake and wedding gazebo, made perfect by the white horse drawn carriage that circles the lake and stops at the foot of the ceremony site is an easy decision.

Tropical Destination Venue - Arbor Terrace transports your wedding to a tropical garden paradise that feels like Hana Hawaii. Giant bird of paradise and towering banana palms create the tropical canopy with colorful ginger, orchids, plumeria, jasmine and bromeliads lending their heavenly fragrance to the understory. Massive black rock waterfalls provide a dramatic backdrop for your ceremony site that will have your guests breathless. The celebration then moves to the tented Pavilion for the ultimate party venue complete with huge outdoor fireplace and dance floor.

Casual Sophisticated Venue - This site offers two breathtaking views from which to choose. One faces Compass Falls, just voted the best water feature in the state of California by CLCA, while the other direction offers a scenic vista of the heart shaped lake and rolling hills below. Following the ceremony, guests adjourn to the Orchid Bar, perched atop the falls, for a relaxed celebration. A central fire pit anchors the bar and terrace area as guests make themselves comfortable on deeply-cushioned wicker lounge furnishings. The trees and waterfalls are dramatically illuminated and the richly colored succulent gardens complete the contemporary modern feel…a great cocktail hour and casual reception locale.
