Welcome to Ivy Manor Weddings and Events— a secluded, garden estate and wedding venue nestled on the edge of Temecula, CA’s rolling wine country. One of Southern California's best kept secrets -- this gorgeous 18-acre property, with a stunning two-story ballroom, meandering brick pathways, and showstopping gardens, is ideal for both intimate celebrations and grand soirees.
Steeped in history and heart, Ivy Manor was lovingly built over a forty-year time span by a couple with a vision: every stone, garden, and architectural detail a labor of love. We host only 20 to 30 full-scale weddings each year, allowing us to give each celebration the care, intention, and artistry it deserves. Our estate is ideal for immersive, multi-day gatherings that feel both luxurious and deeply personal.
Special features include a 4,000-square-foot, six-foot-tall hedge maze, a unique underground “man cave,” and a dance floor that doubles as a giant chessboard with movable four-foot-tall chess pieces. Interiors include overnight accommodations in a 7,600-square-foot estate filled with hidden rooms and secret staircases, and a 4,000-square-foot ballroom complete with dual decks, a lounge area, a cocktail and bar, and a full-service catering kitchen. Our ceremony field can easily host up to 350 wedding guests and offer various backdrops for you to exchange your vows, including a two-story gazebo or our gorgeous rose-covered bridal pillars that remain green all year round.
At Ivy Manor Weddings and Events, no two weddings here are ever the same. We invite you to share your vision—your theme, your dream, your unexpected ideas. Let’s create something unforgettable, together.

Ivy Manor was more than I could ever expect! It’s the perfect place to get real weird with all your friends. It had so many beautiful quirky little areas to explore and endless gardens to take in the quiet times. I can’t decide if the morning w...
alks around the property or the night walks were more magical. Temecula in the morning due before the day starts or night shenanigans and giggles coming from all directions the property. Truly one of the funnest weekends I’ve had with friends at the pool grilling, getting lost in the maze all night, and exploring all the secret passage ways the mansion has to offer! For my group of about 18 people from mixed groups of single friends and couples, we had an absolute wonderful time with plenty of space for everyone. This place is an absolute wonderland that’s sure to create lasting memories!
