We are so glad we chose the Edison & Ford Winter Estates for our wedding day! The entire planning process was so smooth, and Cori was an absolute lifesaver! From the first walk through to walking down the aisle she made me feel so calm and excited at the same time. Her and her team did an amazing job of making sure everything was seamless and somehow managed to assist all of our guests to the ceremony location. We got married in front of the amazing Mysore Fig Tree and it goes without saying that the entire property is stunning! After looking through our wedding photos we are even more thrilled we chose this location as it took our photos to another level. If you are looking for an outdoor ceremony location and want something different and memorable, this is it. All of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was, and we all can't wait to return. Thank you so much to Cori and your team for making our wedding day better than we could have hoped! You are amazing and we would have been lost without you!

10/10 would get married here again

Cori is amazing and will go to bat for you start to finish. She’ll provide helpful insight throughout the decision making process and during planning and was spot on for the day. Our day was perfect and she’s an awesome human being. We’re so thankful we chose the Edison Ford Estates and didn’t go with a cheesy beach wedding.

From the moment I saw the Edison Home I knew it was where I wanted to be married. Every location there is postcard beautiful! Our wedding was a fairytale come true! Tori as well as the rest of the staff are incredible to work with, and to put it simply, great people! We couldn't have asked for anything more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have shot many portrait sessions, weddings and other events at this location. It is always a pleasure to work with the staff at the Edison & Ford Estate. The property is kept beautiful year round, its hard to take a bad photo while at this location.
