Mt Woodson Castle offers multiple stunning options for your vows. The front lawn provides sweeping views across the hills, the castle balcony offers an elevated perspective with sunset behind you, and the terrace delivers intimate privacy for a more secluded feel. Because each space has its own character, we help you choose the location that best matches your vision for your wedding day.

Your Ceremony, Your Voice

Every couple deserves a ceremony that sounds like them. Because of that, we take time to learn your story, your personalities, and the moments that shaped your relationship. We welcome all couples with kindness, without judgment. Your ceremony should reflect your beliefs, your background, and your story — not ours. Once we understand what matters most, we write a ceremony that reflects your voice and values. As a result, the experience feels honest, warm, and memorable.
