Your wedding,
all weekend

A private mountain destination for multi-day weddings in Julian, California

More than
a single day

At The Dempsey, a wedding doesn't begin with the ceremony or end with the reception. Your closest people arrive, settle in and stay together for the celebration—from the first welcome drink to the slow morning after. Across eight private acres, gathering spaces, onsite accommodations and a setting shaped by more than a century of history create a wedding weekend that unfolds entirely in one place.

Designed for multi-day celebrations

Host a welcome dinner, settle in with your closest people, gather for the ceremony, celebrate late into the evening and wake up together the next morning. With accommodations and gathering spaces across the property, the weekend moves naturally from one moment to the next.

Friday
Arrivals, check-in, welcome dinner in The Lodge
Saturday
Getting ready in the Bridal Suite, ceremony on the Ceremony Lawn, cocktail hour on the Pool Terrace, reception in the Event Hall
Sunday
A slow morning, farewell brunch, or Sunday pool party
