Ambassador Mansions & Gardens

Ambassador Mansions & Gardens is a Pasadena wedding venue set within historic landscaped gardens tucked between buildings in the South Arroyo neighborhood. The grounds feature mature trees, flowers, fountains, mini waterfalls, small ponds, a central grassy area, and a pergola that comes into full bloom in spring. The property served as Ambassador College from 1947 to 1990, and sits on land with documented history tracing back to the Hahamongna Tribe and the San Gabriel Mission established in 1771. Located at 340 W Green St, Pasadena, California, in Los Angeles County. Visitors consistently describe the gardens as quiet, calm, and visually striking across all seasons, noting the koi and turtle ponds, free street parking nearby, and a tucked-away setting that feels separate from the surrounding city.
