The expansive Gazebo Lawn encompasses two separate areas, each anchored by a fabulous, old-growth tree whose spreading branches act as a canopy as you exchange vows. The lawn also makes an ideal spot for post-ceremony cocktails. But, for maximum “oohs and aahs,” consider the grassy Waterfall Ceremony Site. Friends and family watch as you say “I do” against a spectacular backdrop that features a dramatic rock formation covered with water cascading into a lily pond. As if this wasn’t picturesque enough, the entire area is planted with colorful blooms and exotic vines. And then, just to add some pizzazz, a fire ring in the pond adds a blaze of excitement after dark.

Dinner is served on the Upper Reception Lawn, in the warm glow of lanterns, market lights, and twinkle lights wrapped around the surrounding trees. A sweetheart table can be tucked beneath a bower of illuminated moss, and from this perch you’ll overlook the band shell built right into a rock wall—it’s the perfect stage for your DJ or live music. Dance under the stars or lounge on comfy sofas for some conversation and a nightcap.

Prefer a reception indoors? Then you’re in for a treat because the 4,000-square-foot Tented Pavilion works equally well for large or intimate gatherings. You approach the pavilion through a long pathway of tall, arched branches that glitter like a magical “tunnel of lights”. Once you step inside you can’t help but be impressed: The interior is lavishly draped and decorated with out-of-the-ordinary antique sofas, armoires and chandeliers, all of which lends an elegant touch.

Los Willows may still be one of San Diego County’s “best-kept secrets,” but not for long. The new owners have already established a stellar, 25-year track record hosting premier weddings at their other location, Los Willows, so you can expect the same fine catering and professional services at their newest venue!
