Venue Highlights:
A private and secluded landscaped courtyard at the heart of Fillmore Chapel has been transformed into a dreamy oasis for open-air ceremonies. The natural grass courtyard is lined with privet, pepper trees, and touches of lavender and surrounded by a Spanish tile roofline. As the sun sets, add ambient lighting or market lights to create an even more romantic atmosphere in this ceremony venue before moving indoors to Mission Hall.
This grand indoor venue offers a neutral backdrop to customize your event while maintaining exquisite architectural details to boost your experience. Authentic black Mission-style doors capped with stone scrollwork at the tower’s base open to a room framed by sculpted columns and archways with intricate detail work and embossing at the top of each pillar.
Stained-glass and leaded windows have been restored to allow natural sunlight to stream and capture the surrounding mountain views. Original, 40-foot lofted, hand-painted exposed timber ceilings create a dramatic, open, and airy feeling, enhanced by mission white plaster walls.
Mission Hall’s icon is a thoughtfully preserved, original 20-foot stained glass medallion that rises above the altar. The great room also includes the original refurbished oak, hardwood floors, and classic chandeliers for an old-world elegance and turn-of-the-century feel.
Inside the historic building, our two get-ready suites serve as the ideal respite for the wedding party to put the finishing touches on their look. Located in separate wings of the property, each suite offers a large living room designed to be a beautiful backdrop for pre-wedding photos and additional side chambers that can be used in many ways.
