Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens

Where do I even begin.... I attended a wedding at GT around 9-10 years ago and remembered telling myself I'd have a wedding here. Fast forward to September 2025 and the venue was just as beautiful as I had remembered. In addition to a gorgeous tropical setting, every single person at GT made our wedding day dreams come true. Danielle, our wedding coordinator, was a literal DREAM. She was PHENOMENAL. She provided logistics, organization, and paid attention to meticulous details that allowed myself and Chris to not stress, but fully enjoy and be present on our wedding day. GT lets you schedule three meetings with your coordinator leading up to your wedding day and I cannot stress enough that throughout the meetings and constant emails Danielle very quickly began to feel like a friend to both Chris and I. Her care, kindness, and gentleness allowed Chris and I to build a connection with our coordinator beyond having someone handle the logistics on the day of. We could look at Danielle and know that everything was going to be okay; she had every detail/instruction nailed to a tee!

The entire staff at GT was so pleasant and everyone moved so efficiently to keep the day flowing SO smoothly. My guests were shocked at how well we kept to the schedule and that truly is in part to how well the staff at GT is able to work with each other and the wedding couple. They also have a very strong list of preferred vendors and the collaboration and trust between each group to coordinate a wedding day is clear as day!

In addition to the staff being amazing, my guests were in AWE at the gardens and waterfalls. Chris and I chose Arbor Terrace and you would not believe the amount of guests that mentioned to us that the space was BEAUTIFUL. Our guests felt transported to another location and this was one of the main reasons why Chris and I chose this location. Our guests also LOVED the food and drinks! We were told repeatedly that this was some of the best wedding food they had ever eaten.

So thank you Grand Tradition for helping Chris and I have one of the best if not THE best day of our lives thus far and allowing us to start our new journey in the most magical venue!

Our wedding day was truly perfect from start to finish. Everything leading up to the event was well organized, and the day of the wedding went more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for our special day, with a high-end elegance that impressed everyone.

Our coordinator, Nicole, was incredible. She helped with everything throughout the planning process and was especially amazing on the day of the wedding. She was always available, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her support genuinely reduced my stress—if anything, the team helped mediate and ease it rather than add to it.

The entire staff was professional, friendly, and clearly well-coordinated. Everyone communicated seamlessly and knew exactly what needed to be done, which made the day flow effortlessly. The venue was also very affordable, and there were no unexpected stresses or issues.

Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food, the atmosphere, and the overall high-end elegance of the venue, which meant so much to us. Overall, we had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Five stars is truly not enough to reflect how satisfied we were. I would absolutely book this venue again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run, and stress-free wedding venue.

We got married at the Beverly Mansion side of the Grand Tradition and wow, we cannot give enough glowing reviews for our experience here. Nowadays, weddings are extremely expensive and there are so many horror stories out there for different couples and their planning process. We had quite the opposite experience with the Grand Tradition and their coordinators. After pricing out multiple venues and vendors, the Grand Tradition was definitely the best bang for your buck. They don’t nickel and dime you for every little thing. Yes, there are cheaper venues out there, but you get what you pay for. For our costs, a buffet style dinner(or plated) was included along with all the tables, chairs, place settings, etc that other venues were nickel and diming us for. This is one of the only venues that has a restaurant on site so they do all their own inhouse catering. Food is extremely important to us and having been guests at other weddings, we knew we didn’t want boring and tasteless food. The Grand Tradition actually schedules a tasting party for you months prior so that you can taste all they have to offer and make your selections which becomes a very hard decision since all of their food was delicious. We fell in love with the venue and all it had to offer, but what really sold us was the customer service.The entire process from start to finish was seamless and extremely convenient. Our coordinator Molly and her staff were so helpful in the days leading up to the wedding. Words cannot describe our gratitude for her and all of the staff on the actual day of the wedding! We were right on schedule for each event and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Our guests have commented that it was definitely one of the best weddings that they have ever been to which we have to give credit to the staff for that. We chose the buffet style dinner which ensured each guest got enough to eat and were able to choose what they actually wanted to eat! The venue itself was pretty customizable to fit our needs as we were pretty unconventional with some of the vendors that we brought in. All in all, it is easy to plan an affordable wedding here because of everything that is included. Kudos to all of the staff members and an extremely well run operation! We cannot recommend this venue enough and cannot wait to come back to visit!

October 10th 2025 wedding
I can not say enough great things about our experience with Grand Tradition! We had booked with Grand Tradition back in 2023 and absolutely fell in love with everything about this venue. First off it transports you to a literal tropical vacation with its lush well kept grounds, it had waterfalls throughout the property, there is so much greenery and trees it really is a dream. The staff here are incredible, everyone we interacted with was very professional, nice and willing to help answer any questions we had. Grand Tradition includes so many things other venues do not one very important thing was their event coordinator. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole and she was nothing short of perfect and amazing during the whole process. She is not just a day of coordinator she is a real full time coordinator that is there to help plan and be there for meetings, address any concerns, she was truly a valuable part of our experience. We wanted to add personal details that Nicole was able to arrange for us, she never said no, she always found a way to make things work for us. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls, we always felt valued. Once our wedding day came the staff at Grand Tradition blew us and our family's away. They were so efficient, any hiccups that occurred they fixed right away. They provided golf cart access to our elderly family members, everyone was greeted with our champagne of choice, I had a bridal assistant that stayed by my side the whole day, she was amazing as well. my bracelet had broken and she managed to fix it, she fixed my brothers button on his tux that had fallen off, she was always there with out signature drinks she made sure I stayed hydrated with water. Nicole was such a vital role in how the day played out, every time I asked for something she was right there, she was behind the scenes and made the day so perfect for Ken and I. I can not say enough good things about Grand Tradition and Nicole. We had our dream wedding at Grand Tradition, booking them was the greatest decision we made wedding planning. If your on the fence I would encourage you to book them. Thank you everyone at Grand Tradition for giving us such an amazing wedding we will never forget.

We had our wedding here at Arbor Terrace in September 2025.

From the start, we were fortunate enough to meet with Scott who gave us a tour of all that GT had to offer. Then came our amazing wedding coordinator Danielle, who made us instantly comfortable with her easygoing personality, always quickly responded to our questions, and provided reassuring guidance leading up to the wedding. Come the day of the wedding (and for this, we also want to highlight and call out Noelle for being amazing), we were checked on throughout the night, our needs were always placed first, and the schedule was adjusted flexibly to adapt to delays. We were beyond satisfied with the level of support we received by all the staff at GT.

In commenting on the food, many guests commented on the buffet selection being “some of the best wedding food they've had". Many guests also commented on the beauty of Arbor Terrace and for those who traveled from afar, comments were made of "this was worth the trip".

Thank you GT for an amazing experience.

The professionalism the day of the wedding was 10/10! Jasmine was our coordinator and did an absolute amazing job. HIGHLY recommend her when planning your wedding. She made it feel like I was planning it with a friend. Always returned my calls, emails, texts in a timely manor. She truly made the process easy when I look back on everything. She made the wedding day seamless and ran things very professionally and calmly. The venue was gorg! At first we thought it was expensive, but when the wedding was all said and done- it was worth every penny! We wouldn’t change anything! HIGHLY recommend this place and Jasmine as your coordinator.

The Grand Tradition team made my dream wedding come true, at their Arbor Terrace venue. When we were first touring the venue, I was blown away. I’m talking jaw-on-floor: blown away. The waterfalls (plural, yes), well-manicured trees and tropical plants, and small touches all made me look at my (now husband) and say “wow, this is the place.”

Danielle Main was our day-of coordinator, and she supported us with organizing our planning steps, what to expect, and was there to help it all go smoothly on our big day. She helped take so many of our logistical worries away.

The rest of the staff also played a pivotal part in making the day go smoothly. The servers, bartenders, golf cart attendants, parking attendants, and many more, helped everyone feel cared for and relaxed. They were absolute rockstars. Even when there were a few hiccups on our end, the team made it so that we barely noticed anything went wrong. It felt like a movie, fairy tail, everything you want from a wedding venue.

Our guests keep telling us how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and how tasty the food was too. We are so happy we chose Grand Tradition as our wedding venue, and certainly recommend it!

P.S. when you go for your menu tasting, the food might be underwhelming due to the fact that they make so many different things for the tastings. Trust us when we say that your food on your wedding day can be WAY better (more tender, moist, to YOUR taste) on your big day. Just tell them how you want things cooked, and they will make it happen. They certainly did for us.

I had my wedding at Arbor Terrace at Grand Tradition in June. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the staff was really organized. The coordinator and day of bridal assistant were also super helpful. Our friends and family made numerous comments about how organized the staff were and how good the food was. We had zero regrets having our wedding here and I would recommend it to other couples. We also primarily used vendors from their recommended list and we had a great experience with all our vendors.

Got married @ Grand Tradition (Arbor Terrace) in April 2025. Molly, our coordinator, was incredible from beginning to end. She was thorough in each meeting, was super helpful and answered all our questions, and SO PATIENT! For the wedding rehersal and wedding day, she made sure everything went smoothly - we barely had to stress about anything. Our whole bridal party loved her because she was so on top of everything! Everyone raved about how beautiful the venue was, and how good the food tasted. If you're looking to get married in Southern CA - please check out Grand Tradition!

We had an amazing experience here at The Grand Tradition!

Nicole was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't ask for a better person! We’re beyond grateful for everything she helped us with. For the past 7 months Nicole has been in contact with us making sure we get things done, know what they have to offer and always offering her help. My husband and I were honestly slackers when it came to planning our wedding but Nicole was on it and made sure we got things done which we appreciate so much! We constantly had updates and check ins from Nicole which was really kind! Day of the wedding Nicole was there making sure everything went well. There was a problem that one of our vendors a photo booth did NOT show up which was pretty awful. I could not get a hold of them but Nicole took over and tried as best she could to figure out what was going on. That vendor didn't show up at all but luckily we had Nicole who was kind enough and fast acting and set up the Grand Traditions photo booth. Our guests had so much fun with it and it's all thanks to Nicole. She is a very hard working woman, I cannot explain enough how above and beyond, helpful and appreciated Nicole was during this whole process!

Kaya was my Bridal Assistant and she was great! Kaya was on it!! She had a bunch of emergency things with her that I ended up needing and my wedding party. I got married on a rainy day so the bottom of my dress got pretty dirty, right before I took pictures after the ceremony Kaya was prepared and got a bunch of the dirt out of my dress!! Kaya and Nicole took their time bustling my dress to make sure it looked good! I appreciate all of Kaya’s help. She was great!

Music during the ceremony was perfect! Their timing on everything was great!

Food was beyond amazing! All night we heard people talking about how delicious the food was. The spinach chicken wellington was sooo delicious… If i could get a recipe that would be great haha! The food had so much flavor and felt like it was cooked carefully and with passion. It has been a week since my wedding and people keep texting me that they are craving the food from my wedding!

Service staff, everyone who was working that day was awesome! I saw several times where they used teamwork to get things done which was nice to see. They were all kind and hard working. I walked in the tent when the wedding was done because a guest lost their wallet. They quickly stopped what they were doing to help me look (It was in his pocket.. He was drunk lol!) but still they didn't even hesitate to help me! Everytime I walked past a worker they would tell me congratulations which was very kind!

Bar, I personally didn't go to it often because I don't drink but I did notice my guests making conversation with the bartender and having fun! When I did go to refill my soda or water he was very kind!

Dressing rooms were so cute on both sides! They were clean and cutely decorated. They prepared a snack board, water and cider for us which was so nice! The only thing I'd recommend about changing in the rooms is to add a tv or speakers for music in the bridal room.

Menu tasting was included in our package which we had such a fun time attending. There are so many things inside of the wedding packages that are so great! Another great one is lifetime garden passes!!

Venue itself was just beyond beautiful!! We chose Arbor Terrace for our ceremony which was gorgeous. The Arbor Terrace is a tropical vibe, there is so much greenery it's just so beautiful. All of the greenery and waterfalls made it where we honestly didn't need a lot of decorations and it was still so beautiful. All night we got compliments about how beautiful the venue is. It feels so fresh and magical for your perfect day. Its hard to put into words how breathtaking Grand Tradition is. It is 100% a must see venue.

We spent a total of 13,025.94 the only extra stuff we added were lanterns for the reception tent. This price is for 75 people and there is so much included in the package.
