Etienne Estate, Pasadena California Intimate Wedding Venue

The Etienne Estate is a Pasadena property designed in 1928 by Myron Hubbard Hunt, the esteemed architect known for designing the Rose Bowl, the Huntington Library, and many other notable structures throughout Southern California. With Italian and Mediterranean influences, this private estate is a unique blend of elegance and historical charm.

It recently opened for intimate weddings, events, and photoshoots, and is quickly becoming one of the top venues in the area. The outdoor grounds feature a long pool lined with stone walkways and surrounded by lush greenery — a perfect setting for an intimate wedding ceremony. A cocktail hour and reception can be held on the nearby lawns or under the veranda at the entrance of the home. Inside, you’re met with a grand walnut-paneled gallery wall and an elegant staircase, a favorite area for timeless editorial portraits. The many other rooms in the home are ideal for getting ready photos and artistic portraits. All of the uniaired with high ceilings and expansive windows that filter in an abundance of natural light, this is a photography dream!
