Set upon 50 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, Dunsmuir Historic Estate was built in 1899 and features a 37-room Neoclassical Revival mansion. It is an exquisitely romantic setting for memorable wedding ceremonies and magical receptions.
With its towering trees, lush gardens and majestic turn-of-the-century mansion, Dunsmuir is a place of unparalleled beauty and offers a selection of traditional and contemporary spaces for distinctive affairs. Wedding ceremonies and receptions can be arranged on the tranquil and romantic expansive meadow, which is reminiscent of an English country estate; near the lovely South pond and gazebo, which is surrounded by towering palm trees and enveloped by nature; in the charming, old-fashioned Carriage House, which has a rustic mahogany-paneled great room; in the newly-built Garden Pavilion, which is sequestered on a wooded hillside and offers an outdoor terrace, or in the Dinkelspiel House, which is a quaint, historical home located near the front gates of the property. Whichever location you choose, the spectacular structures and well-manicured grounds at the Estate will serve as an unforgettable backdrop for your event-of-a-lifetime.
