Forest Lawn

Celebrate the happiest day of your life at Forest Lawn. Forest Lawn, based in Glendale, CA, is a breathtaking venue for weddings. It isn’t just a location. It’s a major Southern California landmark, world-famous for its art, architecture, breathtaking natural beauty—and yes, its cemeteries. It’s also an important part of the community. Over 70,000 people of all cultures, languages, and religions have taken their vows in the churches of Forest Lawn—including several celebrities, like Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman. A Forest Lawn ceremony is a one-of-a-kind experience. The rolling hills and sweeping landscapes, combined with the magical ambience of our churches with their courtyards for gathering with your friends and family, create the perfect setting for a storybook wedding. And after the ceremony, the adjacent gardens and surrounding vistas provide the perfect backdrops for spectacular and memorable photographs. Our award-winning florists create stunning wedding pieces year-round. So, whatever your budget, they can help you arrange a beautiful selection of flowers that will add color and fragrance to your special day. And because our flower shops are located on site, your flowers will arrive in plenty of time and garden fresh. Music plays an important role in both simple and more elaborate ceremonies. We can help you arrange for one of our traditional organists and soloists, or introduce you to our wide range of other options, including guitarists, string quartets, or even mariachi bands. Even if you haven’t decided where you’ll hold your wedding, you can meet, ask questions, and discuss your plans with our Events team—with no obligation.
