Ceremony

Leave the bustling city streets behind and escape to The Bowers Museum, where romantic fountains, flower gardens and mission-style architecture transport you to your own personal sanctuary.

For a quintessential Southern California wedding, the Courtyard is a natural ceremony site. A wide staircase leading down from the second story of the 1930s hacienda provides a graceful entrance for any bride. Exchange your vows under the hacienda balcony, beneath the bell tower or in front of the romantic fountain. With soft lighting, shade trees and colorful flowers year-round, the historic garden courtyard offers the ideal romantic wedding setting.
