Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens is a private Estate that has been hosting weddings for 40 years! Hidden in north San Diego, Grand Tradition has two amazing venues to choose from including 7 waterfalls and endless lush gardens.

Los Willows Wedding Estate is a remarkable outdoor event space that immerses you in gorgeous scenery complemented by a glimmering lake, rolling foothills, and grand meadows. Say your vows at your choice of two captivating ceremony sites: on the lakeside lawn with a dramatic grand entrance by boat or in the lush meadow under towering oak trees. Following Your Ceremony, enjoy a quiet moment with your new spouse on a champagne boat cruise around the lake! It's incredibly romantic to spend your first moment as newlyweds on a private boat ride, complete with champagne and hors d'oeuvres for you both to enjoy. Newly renovated with sleek finishes, the reception pavilion features lavish ceiling draping, a Swarovski crystal chandelier, and an inviting indoor-yet-outdoor vibe. This venue is so serene and naturally-stunning that little to no décor is needed to make for a gorgeous wedding - and photos! Schedule a tour on our website today!

Oakwood Creek was built in the 1930s by WW Wood and his wife Leanora. Wood drove a truck that hauled dairy milk from the outlying ranches into the town of Julian. Later on, Wood would operate B&L Liquor on the main street. The remains of W's garage are still very apparent on the property today, along with his goat shed & stables. We have one of the last intact water towers in the historic district. The property has been preserved to reflect the period in which it was built. This beautiful venue sits atop a picturesque knoll overlooking the historic town of Julian. Sherry Horton, owner of Oakwood Creek Celebrations, offers signature style that everyone—no matter their affair—will find "oh so easy". Growing up in rural Ohio, Sherry brings the style of country that is reminiscent of simpler gracious time, learning from her grandmother Emma Barrett of all things romantically beautiful. Sherry’s work has been featured in Country Living Magazine, Where Women Create, and San Diego Magazine.
