“We fell in love with Darlington House the moment we saw it. Our guests felt the same! No one could stop talking about how beautiful it was. The old California charm makes it a special destination for out-of-town folks. Everywhere you look is another stunning detail. We hardly had to decorate because it is already so gorgeous. Planning with them was smooth and easy, and so was everything on our wedding day. I couldn't have imagined a better venue for our wedding” - Anonymous Client, June 2023
“Three days after our wedding I am still reminiscing about this venue. The venue and house is gorgeous as it is, fill it to life with florals, linens, tables, decor and a full crowd and market lighting and it takes on a whole new mesmerizing life. By far the best venue we looked at… The staff was incredible” - Lauren, May 2022

“Such a magical place for a dream wedding! We got married here at the beginning of August, and we are so grateful for this gorgeous venue. The character of this historical house adds so much color and magic to the event, and I feel like our wedding was some fairytale wedding. Stunning views, character of the interior for amazing photos, easy communication, friendly staff, and proximity to the beach for additional stunning photo ops is nothing short of the perfect wedding venue…The fact that the cost of the venue goes to a great cause, makes the venue that much more favorable. So happy we chose the Darlington House!” - Masha, August 2023
The venue is absolutely gorgeous and Carly from the Darlington House was so incredibly helpful and kind. It is such a unique space and offers so much freedom to bring your dream wedding to life. The weather was perfect and all the staff were amazing. I would highly recommend the Darlington House for your wedding or other special event. It's a plus that they are a non profit and our money went to a great cause!” - Cindy, July 2023
