Greystone Mansion really is one of the great outdoor photoshoot locations for hosting weddings and capturing wedding photos in Los Angeles. Greystone Mansion is a registered historical landmark in Beverly Hills, CA, which is one reason why it is a popular spot to visit. The outdoor public areas on the premises are the beautiful Greystone Mansion Gardens with a centrally located fountain, the pool, and the inner courtyard grounds. Also, there is no fee to park your car in the parking area on the Greystone Mansion grounds. (It is always great to get free parking in Los Angeles, because it is rare!)

This space can accommodate large groups of guests and is perfect for a grand ceremony.


The Formal Garden at Greystone Mansion is the outdoor location of choice for many brides and grooms to hold their wedding ceremony.

The Greystone Mansion Courtyard is a beautiful and versatile space that can be used for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. This space is located in the center of the mansion and features a rustic and charming atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic wedding celebration.


The courtyard is surrounded by the mansion's original walls and features a cobblestone path that leads to a small fountain in the center of the space. The courtyard is lined with lush greenery and flowering plants, providing a natural and elegant backdrop for a wedding ceremony.


For a wedding ceremony, the courtyard can be set up with chairs arranged facing the fountain in the center. The natural beauty of the space, combined with the tranquil sound of the fountain, creates a peaceful and romantic atmosphere that is perfect for exchanging vows.


After the wedding ceremony, the Greystone Mansion Courtyard can be transformed into a reception space for guests to gather for cocktail hours and the wedding reception. This outdoor courtyard is great for the wedding reception because there is plenty of space for tables and catering to get set up, and a large maximum capacity (about 225) for guests to gather. The catering company will love having so much space to set up and serve their food to the wedding guests and wedding party at the reception.


Tables can be set up around the fountain, creating an intimate and elegant dining experience. The surrounding greenery and flowering plants provide a beautiful and natural setting for a reception, creating a romantic and magical ambiance.
