Greystone Mansion

Great site, this was one of our choice of selection.
But we needed a bigger location. This is definiately a awesome site fo wedding.

We couldn't have picked a better spot than Greystone.
This is a perfect location for weddings. We have so many beautiful pics.

This is the most beautiful outdoor location (IMO)! I was lucky to have unexpected beautiful 75 degree weather on my Dec 2nd wedding. I had my ceremony in the Formal Gardens, which was in full bloom with white roses lining the garden. It makes for beautiful pictures with the large fountain in the backdrop. I had my reception in the Pool Area, which can accomodate 150 people. This area is the most practical to have the reception since there are decent bathrooms and easy access to the huge parking lot. I was able to have the reception under the stars with just a couple of heat lamps for the guests.

The cons of the place is definitely the administrator, Barbara. She is a total scatterbrain, I had to constantly ask her the same questions over and over (because I always got different answers). Other than that, its super reasonable in price (I paid under $3K) to hold my ceremony and reception there. The other cons are that receptions have to end by 8pm and no candles are allowed.

The site is wonderful for someone who wants the freedom to hire any caterer, alcohol provider, any vendor that you'd like.

Greystone was exactly the setting we wanted for our big day -- a very European feeling, quiet and elegant. The flowers were in bloom for our April wedding and the garden was perfect. We had our reception at the Courtyard, which was lovely. (There is huge construction going on right now up the hill next door, which is visible from the poolhouse, so you would want to check on that progress before booking that area. They only actually do construction during the week, but it's not very attractive right now.)

You do have to bring EVERYTHING in -- every chair, fork, glass, etc. as well as generators for the caterers. You have absolutely no access to the indoor area. I agree with previous post about Barbara being scattered. (Just get everything in writing.) But all the park rangers you have to deal with are awesome, especially Steve. They help you out so much on the day of the wedding, and help your guests, too.

If you have an afternoon wedding in the garden, think about getting parasols for guests, since the sun is very strong and the garden offers no shade at all. The park ranger said that usually if you don't offer parasols, guests end up going to their cars and getting their rain or golf umbrellas for shade, which ends up looking hideous in pictures!

I recommend Greystone highly. I hope we can afford to have an anniversary party there one day!

You will feel like Royalty in this extraordinary European style mansion. They have a very spacious garden with a large fountain for your ceremony. Reception is usually held in the Mansion courtyard. There is a view of the city during your cocktail hour. There is plenty of free parking for your guests. The best part is that the price is very reasonable considering that it is in Beverly Hills. The only draw back for some couples is that you must end your event early. They do have strict rules, however their site manager is easy to work with and very accommodating.

They only include the location, however Event Professionals can assist you with an all inclusive catering package which will includes all party rentals, food, cake, bar (byo) staff, reception coordinator to ensure a stress free catered event. You will need a dance and possibly a generator if you are having a band. Our company can assist you with all your planning needs at a reasonable price.

One of the factor for us when recommending a facility is that it is not complicated or stressful for the couple to plan. Even though this is historical location, we love that it is easy to set-up.

The video “We belong together” by Mariah Carey was filmed here.

Greystone is a great location with tons of shooting spots. very pretty and quiet location. If you can afford it go for it.

Beautiful location that is used in many of my favorite films. I shot a meeting for the Association of Bridal Consultants there in August 2008. You can see the images from that event here http://rmcphoto.blogspot.com/2008/08/association-of-bridal-consultants.html
