The Villa

Not simply a venue.
A place to be hosted.

Behind the garden gate, a historic Alameda property offers a more considered rhythm for a wedding—one shaped around gathering, dining, and celebrating without the day feeling divided into parts.

Since 1901

A place with a story
already in its walls.

The Villa’s original architecture gives each gathering a sense of history—an enduring Alameda landmark entering a new chapter.

A more personal rhythm

Time to linger
after “I do.”

From a garden ceremony to a table set for two, each consultation begins with how you want your celebration to feel.

The experience

For celebrations measured
in meaning, not guest count.

Plans are being developed around intimate ceremonies, unhurried dining, and gracious overnight hospitality. Every consultation begins with the couple—their gathering, their priorities, and how they hope the day will feel.
