After, you can welcome your guests into the main house. With wood-paneled walls and exquisite interior design, this space will impress. You can host a memorable summer ceremony on the well-manicured lawns before dining and dancing the night away in the designated reception space.

The Churchill House is a Wedding Winner!

Thanks to the Churchill House, my husband and I had our dream wedding. Working with Courtney, Ryan and Luke was a phenomenal experience. They truly had our best interest in mind and they were extremely easy to work with. We expected rain on our wedding day and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect (and it was!). Courtney was our main coordinator and she was so sweet and attentive to us. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue and friendly staff, look no further! The Churchill House is a wedding winner!

Stress free and accommodating

We had a fantastic time at our wedding in this venue, the staff definitely contributed to a stress free, flexible, comfortable wedding. This venue has a groom's cottage for the guys, a bridal one too, lots of bathrooms (4) for guests to use. Tables,chairs and linen were included in our package, they offer bartenders or you can hire your own. We were so happy to be able to have a live band and mariachi allowed because that's what we were actually having trouble with in other venues. Our experience was definitely a good one and all our guests had such a good time and commented on how lovely the venue was.

Easy wedding experience

Check out this secret gem! Really wonderful location with very convenient parking immediately behind the venue. We were able to accommodate all 100+ of our wedding guests with no issues. Also got some really pretty photos at the venue. All of the landscaping has just been re-done and it's looking gorgeous.

Historical Old Escondido Venue

Beautiful historical house in the heart of Old Escondido. Picture perfect throughout. Room for bride and entire bridal party to get ready. So much parking and very easy for vendors to set up. Absolutely a 10.

Historical and Romantic

The Churchill House was just what we wanted - a local, intimate and beautiful place for our son's wedding. The Bridal Suite accommodated the bride and her party to get ready in luxury and the Grooms Quarters was fun for the guys (Poker table and a dart board!). From the beautiful landscaping and the brick patio for the reception - to the 4 available restrooms, it was all we could have asked for. Ms. Jennie Roberts was the perfect coordinator! I highly recommend this historic setting.

Amazing experience!!!

We had a wonderful wedding celebration at the Churchill House. Everything from the ultra helpful staff to the beautiful accommodations far exceeded my expectations. All pieces of the evening ran so smoothly thanks to Jennie and Ryan and the rest of the crew. They helped with so many of the details which allowed me to not have to worry about anything! You won’t be disappointed booking here…it’s beautiful, historical, super cute and inviting.
