Weddings

The Athenaeum is one of the most beautiful and sought after wedding venues in Southern California. Our Mediterranean-style architecture, notable history, and beautiful grounds make for a breathtakingly romantic backdrop to celebrate your special day.

Our professional events team is on hand to personally create a one-of-a-kind experience for you and your guests — incorporating timeless tradition with your unique style. Superb service, attentive staff, exquisite food, and impeccable details are standard and distinguish The Athenaeum from other local destinations.

From the time the bridal party arrives, our Mezzanine is an elegant parlor for morning preparations. Upon entrance, every guest will be greeted by the grandeur and luxury of hand painted and vaulted ceilings, polished wood-paneled walls, magnificent chandeliers, rich brocade tapestries, ornate Corinthian columns, and the lushness of our olive walk and terrace landscape. Capture every photographic moment at this picturesque landmark and grounds of the California Institute of Technology campus. The event will be flawless, a stunning and intimate affair for even the largest of parties.
