Beautiful Wedding!!!

The Venue was very responsive and listened to every detail! Janice was very friendly and able to help make our wedding easy and beautiful! This venue makes planning so much easier having a few of the main vendors included (catering, cake and DJ/music). Our wedding was everything and more!

The Perfect Wedding

The Christmas House is everything that we could have asked for and more!! When we began our search for wedding venues, we knew that we wanted something that was all inclusive. The Christmas house provided that and more. Carrie and Sam were absolutely amazing hosts from our very first tour all the way through our entire wedding weekend. They helped us with the planning process and made sure that everything went smoothly. Every single vision that I had came to life that night. Carrie and Sam are the absolute soul of this home and they make it abundantly clear how much they genuinely care about each and every one of their couples and guests. We cannot recommend this venue enough!!!

Wedding of our Haunted Dreams - Haunted mansion wedding

The Christmas house is literally THE GOAT of venues. There is nothing that we would have changed about our wedding. We planned everything with them in a matter of 3 months, and it went off without a hitch (unless your a ghost...)
From the bloomed grounds themselves, to the stunning 121 year old house, and the immaculate dancefloor we were constantly impressed by this venue. The owners Carrie and Sam were so accommodating and considerate of all of our wants and needs for the wedding. Jillian our coordinator helped with the stress, with organizing things and keeping timelines for us while answering every little question we had (even if it felt silly). Orlando was our photographer, and let me tell you if I could request anyone to take our photos again and again it would be him. He knows the angles needed to make you look your best, and he captures the most hauntingly stunning moments. The vendors that the Christmas house works with are top notch. They provide everything from the most BEAUTIFUL flowers, the BEST Dj/Emcee, the officiant that adds a little EXTRA pixie dust, DELICIOUS food, and not only the most beautiful cake we've seen but the most DECADENT to die for cake we've been graced with.
Thank you so much to the Christmas house for helping us create memories that will last lifetimes, even into the afterlife ;)

responsive, easy to work with, and the best people!

We cannot say enough good things about this venue and the couple who own it! They were responsive, easy to work with, and the best people! We felt taken care of at every step and our guests could not stop raving about our wedding! Everyone commented how wonderful everything was and how beautiful the venue was! We would not hesitate to have another event here! Also we highly recommend adding on the after party package so that some of your guests can stay at the house with you that night and enjoy a pizza party as well as breakfast the next morning, this was a HUGE success with our overnight guests. Carrie, Sam, and Jillian thank you so much for making our wedding so special and so stress-free!

Amazing wedding Venue and Team!

The entire team at The Christmas House was incredible. They were always quick to respond and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the planning process. The venue itself is intimate and full of charm, creating such a special atmosphere for our day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the wedding cake—everything was absolutely delicious. The thoughtful extra touches, like late-night pizza after the guests had left and breakfast for overnight guests, made the experience even more memorable.

We got married at the Christmas House 11.12.11 and stayed there with our wedding party. It was amazing! We have plans of staying there again for our 10 year just around the corner. The pricing and everything it included was very fair. The venue was beautiful and every room was magical in its own way. Overall, I would do it there again and honestly had not one complaint. (It even rained the morning of our event and it was still amazing.) Thank you for the memories!

Very very good

I’m in love with this place so very much it fits within my budget and what I love about this place is everything in my package is included except my flowers and photography. I get a wedding coordinator, a wedding designer and the even make my own wedding cake any way I want it. I also get to have my wedding party or guest to stay in the venue up to 6 guest per room, the venue also give us pizza sodas and champagne. The bride and groom get breakfast in bed or join the rest of the guest down stairs and have brunch in the dining room. We also get to open our wedding presents there too that’s what I love about this place. My mom cousin got married there and she had her wedding there I didn’t get to go I had to work but that was a few years ago so I do recommend the Christmas House Inn it’s the most beautiful place ever.

What can I say... The Christmas House Inn and Gardens turned out to be one of the absolute best decisions my wife and I made for our special day. We always imagined an outdoor wedding with an great dance floor, hanging lights, and an intimate space. Once we found the Christmas House we just knew immediately that this was THE place. Everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch. We couldn't be any more happy with our choice. Thank you to Janice, Tessa, and Laura for all of the great communication and always being there for anything we needed. This place is A++ all the way!

Our experience at the Christmas House absolutely amazing. Everything in the house is original, the grounds are gorgeous, and the prices are very reasonable for Southern California. Janice and Tessa made themselves completely available during the planning process and handled everything the day-of. Thanks to their hard work, organization, and creative expertise, our wedding day could not have been more perfect. My advice to brides-to-be would be to trust them and to trust the process. And if you want to plan a wedding that is as worry-free as possible, have your wedding here!

All the times I have come to pick up a bouquet to preserve from The Christmas House, I am amazed how comfortable and elegant the events are. This is definitely a venue I recommend to my brides because I know they will be handled with thoughtfulness, care and professionalism.

The Christmas House Inn and Gardens is as lovely as the kind staff who manage it. As a photographer, I love working here! Every corner of the property is delightfully decorated and well kept. Aileen and the rest of the crew are welcoming, helpful, and very layer back. I had so much fun on this beautiful property, and the photos from the wedding day turned out lovely!
