“Celebrating my 50th birthday at Headquarters by Wedgewood Weddings was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived until the very last guest departed, every detail was executed with such grace, professionalism, and genuine care. It wasn’t just a party—it was an unforgettable experience that my family and friends will be talking about for years to come. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking! The ambiance is sophisticated yet warm, creating the perfect setting for an elegant celebration. Located in the heart of downtown San Diego, it’s incredibly convenient and just steps away from everything, making it the ideal destination for both local guests and those traveling into town. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The bar service was equally impressive, with attentive bartenders and perfectly crafted drinks throughout the evening. Every aspect of the event felt effortless because the team had thought of everything. The true stars of the evening, however, were the extraordinary people who brought it all to life. My deepest gratitude goes to Emma, Nat, Jasmine, Jahn, Kendra, Perfecto and Sam. Each of you played such an important role in making my milestone celebration feel so special. Your warmth, attention to every detail, genuine hospitality, and commitment to excellence made us feel completely cared for from beginning to end. You anticipated every need before we even had to ask and made every guest feel welcomed and celebrated. That level of service is rare, and I will never forget it. If you’re looking for a venue that combines timeless elegance, an incredible downtown San Diego location, outstanding cuisine, exceptional bar service, and a team that truly cares about making your event unforgettable, Headquarters by Wedgewood Weddings is simply the best. Thank you for giving me the most beautiful 50th birthday celebration I could have ever dreamed of. It was absolutely perfect in every way, and I will cherish these memories for a lifetime.”

“We had our wedding here on October 23rd, 2025. It was beautiful and the Epic team made the day as easy as possible. Our coordinator Drew was awesome - he gave us some great ideas to improve the event during our meetings and helped minimize our stress day-of. It went off without a hitch, and we couldn't be happier. The venue itself is also beautiful which a number of our guests commented on.”

Mt. Woodson Castle by Wedgewood Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Ramona, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $12,000

Perched in the rolling hills of Ramona, California, Mt. Woodson Castle is one of Southern California's most extraordinary wedding destinations, where old-world grandeur meets the untamed beauty of the San Diego backcountry. Built as a private dream home by dress designer Amy Strong, construction began in 1909 and culminated in 1920 as a stunning embodiment of the American Craftsman Movement. Amy personally selected stones from the slopes of Mt. Woodson, building with eucalyptus, oak, and redwood harvested on-site. No chalk lines were used, leaving uneven floors and rooflines that give the castle its irreplaceable soul. The 12,000-square-foot, 27-room masterpiece features 4-foot-thick walls, four fireplaces, and an eclectic identity blending European, Medieval, Mesoamerican, Mediterranean, and East Asian influences, crowned by a working windmill. Just 40 minutes from downtown San Diego — unlike anywhere else in Southern California.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Dance floor not included

“We had our wedding here on June 6th and it was absolutely everything we hoped for and more :) What made Mt. Woodson perfect for us: - highly professional and friendly staff from our first tour to the day and communication afterwards, special shout-out to our day-of coordinator Jessica and Derek & Kelsey who worked with us while planning - Stunning outdoor and indoor venue, so you can have the ceremony & dinner outside and then switch inside for the party and dessert. Bonus: in the worst case of bad weather you still have a fantastic place for your wedding instead of a back-up tent solution. And you can go until 11pm while other venues limit the party to 10pm. - Amy's Closet is filled with items to use free of charge and they allow DIY flowers/decor which was important to me since I am artistic and wanted to give my wedding a personal touch. Only thing you have to do is assign a person resposible for set-up & take down but our day-of coordinator was so sweet to lend a hand too. - Food was fantastic! We opted for 2 carving stations & buffet style dinner but they also offered plated menus for our guests with dietary restrictions. Our guests were complimenting the food and many went back for seconds and vegan & vegetarian guests were happy with their plates too. Plus: you get to take home the delicous left-overs- they even packed a beautiful to-go plate separately for the bride & groom. - Plenty of parking with option to leave the car over night. Just beware that Ramona is a bit remote so it is not quite as easy to catch a ride, so preordering transportation makes sense. There is some stairs and uneven paths but myself as a bride and all other guests in heels were getting around just fine and also our older guests had no complaints. They were also very accomodating of my brother who is in a wheel chair and they had bathrooms that were accessible for him. Thank you again to the whole Mt.Woodson staff for the BEST experience ever!”
