Grand Island Mansion Wedding Photographer

The Grand Island Mansion is the crown jewel of wedding venues in the California Delta located near the charming town of Walnut Grove. Honestly, I think it’s one of the best wedding locations in all of the greater Sacramento area if you’re looking for more of an elegant and formal wedding ceremony and reception location. You can not beat this location when it comes to the wow factor of the estate grounds and everything around the property. The front pillars to the mansion are just massive and one of the many features of this wedding venue.

On your wedding day brides and grooms can get ready in some of the guest rooms located the mansion. If you’re not renting out those rooms for the day, you’ll be able to use a bridal suit located on the ground floor. Grooms and groomsmen can then get ready in the bar area, which has plenty of space and restrooms for getting dressed in. It’s really nice that they have options for couples who do not plan on renting out the rooms for the night. As a photographer I love it when brides and grooms can get ready at their wedding venue. It just makes the day run a lot smoother when this can happen.

Most wedding ceremonies take place on the front lawn of the mansion. There are two locations, one on the far right side and one on the far left side of the estate’s front lawn. The right side of the lawn ceremony area is a nice shaded garden area, which is a perfect location for those hot summer days. On the left side of the lawn is a raised like amphitheater area surround by huge greek style white stand alone columns where ceremonies can take place at. This area is out in the sun, so is suited better during the fall or spring months or even morning weddings. If the weather doesn’t cooperate on your big day the wedding ceremony can be held indoor or in the back wedding reception tent.

Receptions and events can be held indoors or outdoors. If you’re having a larger wedding your reception or event it will take place in an elegant reception tent behind the mansion, which can hold up to 400 guest. While smaller events have the option to have their reception, meal and dancing inside the mansion. The meals will take place on the main floor and the dancing and other events will be held downstairs. This venue is unique in that it can host ceremonies, receptions and events all year long unlike other locations in the great Sacramento area and Delta region.

The mansion and it’s property is a photographers playground with such massive grounds and a house to photograph inside and out. There’s the front of the mansion with it’s pillars, steps, fountains and tall cypress trees. Across the road are breathtaking views of the California Delta water ways and the Steamboat Slough. Behind the mansion are more fountains, a pool, tennis courts and a private pear orchard that’s a great back drop for pictures. Inside the mansion photo opportunities bound with vintage decorated rooms, hallways, and amazing lounge areas. This is always a plus during summer weddings when you can go inside and cool off while still taking pictures. If you’re a bride and groom looking for one of the premier wedding destinations in the Sacramento area then look no further than the Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove California.

My list of the top three reasons you should host your wedding festivities at Grand Island Mansion.

  1. My number one reason is the venue grounds and the mansion itself. When you’re driving down the river road to the estate and finally catch a glimpse of it through the trees you think it doesn’t look that big or impressive. Once you get closer and cruise down the drive way and really see the mansion up close your jaw will hit the floor. No photograph taken of the estate does it justices and shows how it really looks in person. It’s just one of those locations that you have to see for yourself to understand the true beauty and size of this wedding venue. There is so much to see that your mind starts to race on where to start first. Just the front of the mansion and gardens there would be enough to make most couples asking to book their date immediately. This section is just a small part of the grounds. This venue has that wow factor and if that’s what you’re looking for I would highly recommend taking a site visit of this location.
  2. The number two reason on why you should get married here are the ceremony site locations. On the grounds you’ll have three ceremony locations to pick from. If you’re having a bigger wedding then you’re limited to two locations. The smallest location on the estate will be the indoor reception area. This is also a plus since weddings can be held here year around unlike other wedding venues in the area. The other two ceremony sites are located on the front lawn. Both of them are stunning, well manicured and will leave you wondering what location to pick come wedding day.
  3. My third reason why you should tie the knot here is the whole package of this wedding venue. They have it all, from the amazing mansion, grounds, ceremony locations, reception sites, on site catering, over night rooms to stay in and the private location of the venue itself. Most wedding venues have one or two items that don’t make since and are a deal breaker, but this venue seems to have none. There’s a reason why this location is booked out usually a year in advance for most weekend dates. This is one wedding venue that should be on the top of your list to visit and to visit first. This way you don’t waste your time looking around and missing out on your preferred wedding date.
