Wedding Guide
A complete guide for hosting your special day at the MacCallum House in Mendocino
Mendocino, on California’s
beautiful north coast with its sandy beaches and rugged headlands, has
long been a haven for romantic getaways and honeymoon vacations, making
it the perfect setting for large and small weddings. MacCallum House
provides the scenic beauty of the Pacific Ocean and a beautifully
restored Victorian mansion bed and breakfast inn as a backdrop for your
special day. With two acres of gardens, expansive lawns, a bar and
restaurant and distinctive rooms, MacCallum House is the perfect
location for your destination wedding. In choosing MacCallum House you
can keep your family and friends nearby by reserving the rooms on the main property exclusively for your guests. Also included with our rooms is a gourmet breakfast.
Using MacCallum House facilities for your wedding is an experience like
no other. The elegant reception tent on our east lawn is draped and lit
according to your wedding theme and colors. The dining rooms are
quintessential Mendocino Victorian with three river stone, wood-burning
fireplaces, views of the ocean and a full-service bar. Following the
ceremony you can celebrate knowing your guests’ rooms are only
steps away.
Thank you so much for your
interest in Mendocino’s historic MacCallum House. We congratulate
you on your engagement and hope to share your fabulous wedding weekend
with you.

Planning & Coordination
Our in-house wedding coordinator will help direct and oversee all
aspects of the wedding, including coordination with outside vendors
such as photographers, florists, DJs, etc. The coordinator is
responsible for the development and execution of your event timeline.
They will be available via phone or e-mail throughout the planning
process, and onsite on your wedding day.
Our planning services include a
meeting with our executive chef to create a custom menu paired with
wines. For weddings held on the east lawn in our tent, you will also
have a meeting with our technical director to select a color scheme,
decorations, lighting and tent layout.
We also include a custom printed menu for each guest at your reception.
