Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens

Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens is a storybook wedding estate in Fallbrook, with thirty acres of lush gardens, seven waterfalls, and a heart-shaped lake. With two distinct venues on one private property, it offers both tropical romance and Victorian elegance in a single, unforgettable destination.

Two Venues on a Grand Garden Estate

Designed exclusively for weddings and private events, Grand Tradition spans more than thirty acres of themed gardens, rolling lawns, water features, and panoramic views. Couples can choose between two complete ceremony-and-reception venues, each with its own atmosphere, private ceremony site, and dedicated reception space. Whether you’re dreaming of a lush tropical hideaway or a formal mansion setting, the estate is built to make planning smooth and the experience truly grand.

Arbor Terrace: Tropical Gardens & Waterfalls

Arbor Terrace is the tropical side of the estate, created to feel like a destination wedding without leaving Southern California. Towering palms, garden pathways, and dramatic cascading waterfalls surround a secluded ceremony site in the gardens. Receptions flow into the Arbor Terrace Pavilion, a white, satin-draped open-air tent with arched French-style windows, stone fireplace, garden bar, and a dance floor framed by a waterfall backdrop. It’s ideal for informal yet elegant celebrations with an exotic, resort-style ambiance.

Beverly Mansion: Victorian Elegance & Heart-Shaped Lake

Beverly Mansion offers a more formal, manor-style experience with manicured lawns, blooming gardens, and gentle waterfalls around a charming heart-shaped lake. Couples can exchange vows at the lakeside gazebo on its small peninsula, following a grand curved aisle or arriving in style by horse-drawn carriage. Inside, the Crystal Ballroom features Swarovski crystal chandeliers, a hardwood dance floor, English-style pub bar, and an oversized grand staircase, blending modern comfort with romantic Victorian character.

Indoor–Outdoor Receptions and Flexible Layouts

Both venues are designed for seamless indoor–outdoor celebrations. At Arbor Terrace, the three-sided, open-air pavilion brings the tropical gardens right into your reception, with easy access to patios, bar areas, and cozy gathering spots around the stone fireplace. At Beverly Mansion, glass doors open from the ballroom to the wraparound veranda, creating a natural flow between the lake, gazebo, and indoor celebration. Courtyards and terraces with lounge seating, heaters, and fire features add extra spaces for cocktail hour or late-night mingling under the stars.

Catering, Service, and Planning Support

Grand Tradition provides in-house catering with full-service wedding packages that typically include tables, Chiavari chairs, linens, china, glassware, setup, and professional service staff. Outside catering is allowed for cultural cuisines not provided in-house, making the estate a strong choice for multicultural weddings. Each venue offers luxurious dressing suites, built-in ceremony sound, spacious dance floors, and on-site coordination to ensure your day runs smoothly from first look through the final send-off.
