What is the story behind Monterey Museum of Art - La Mirada?

La Mirada Weddings

La Mirada is a historic garden estate and wedding venue located in the heart of Monterey, California. This distinctive property brings together rose gardens, beautiful architecture, art, and Monterey history to create a wedding experience your guests will be talking about for years. After hosting weddings more than a decade ago, weddings are returning to La Mirada through a new partnership with Events by Classic Group. Couples can now experience the beauty and character of this beloved Monterey estate with the support of an experienced local event planning, culinary, and hospitality team.

Facilities & Experience

La Mirada offers a wedding that flows naturally throughout the estate. Begin your day onsite in the newly added VIP Suite and wedding party hangout space, where you can finish getting ready and spend time with your closest friends and family before guests arrive.

With the estate still quiet, couples can take advantage of the gardens and historic property for a private first look, wedding party portraits, and family photos before the ceremony. Exchange vows surrounded by La Mirada's beautiful gardens, mature trees, rose gardens, and historic architecture. After the ceremony, invite guests to enjoy cocktails and explore the estate before transitioning into dinner and dancing. Rather than spending the entire celebration in one traditional event room, La Mirada allows each part of your wedding to have its own setting while remaining connected throughout the property.

Our culinary team works with couples to create a menu that complements their celebration, with options ranging from plated dinners and buffets to desserts and late-night bites.

The venue is gorgeous! It is an original adobe turned into an art museum with beautiful gardens, a huge rose garden, brick paths and beautiful mosaics everywhere! The art, fountains, gardens, and chandeliers add to the ambiance and the venue almost needs to additional decorations to shine. Additionally, we are working with Tiffani from La Mirada. She is serving as our venue and day of coordinator and she is wonderful! She has worked hard to make every idea my fiance and I have work and has gone above and beyond to help us create the wedding of our dreams! I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful and romantic setting for their wedding!

Although correspondence was sometimes slow during the planning phase, Tiffani made the day of stress free and beautiful! The venue and gardens are beautiful, and the staff is very organized. The only negative is that there is a noise restriction after 10pm for any outdoor music and parking is limited.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
