Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens is perfect for couples tying the Knot
There are thirty acres of gardens and three distinctive wedding venues on the property.
The McDougal family's roots run deep in San Diego County and particularly in Fallbrook. In 1984, their love for this unique community inspired Beverly and Earl McDougal to create a community gathering place that would capture the idealized romance of another era, providing couples with a storybook venue for ceremonies and receptions. This Victorian wedding estate expanded to become known as the Grand Tradition Estate.
