An Outdoor Reception to Remember

Caitlin and Ron were married at Saint Gregory's Catholic Church in San Mateo on September 15th.  The couple chose Kohl Mansion as their reception site, in which they used the courtyard patio for dinner and the indoor Great Hall for dancing.  The purple accents of the flowers, the dresses, and even the Limoncello straws created a personal touch to a beautifully crafted wedding.

Featured Venue: Kohl Mansion

Posted by Caitlin on March 27, 2012

Kohl Mansion in Burlingame, California, is one of my personal favorite venues - I'm a bit biased because I got married there! Regardless, their quickly-filled calendar is evidence that I'm not the only bride or vendor who loves this place.

With ample parking, lawn, grand ballroom, patio and picture-perfect settings, Kohl has all of the "venue basics" to look for. But beyond that, its historic mansion qualities coupled with its high level of upkeep puts it above many mansion-like options. Too many times I've been to what must have been a gorgeous venue years ago, but the mansion looks worn and tired, and the idyllic experience that would have been provided to guests is marred by dying grass or chipping paint. You won't find that at Kohl.

The grand ballroom, with wood paneling and high vaulted ceilings, provides a dramatic backdrop to your event without having to dress it up with lighting, draping or fancy linens and rentals. That being said, it certainly looks stunning dressed up too! The tone and style of your event will be set just by picking this location - it speaks for itself.

Or taking pictures in the rose garden. How about cocktail hour here?

Imagine throwing your bouquet off that balcony.

Kohl really is one-of-a-kind on the Peninsula. If you'd like to consider this venue for your wedding or event, we'd be happy to discuss every facet and consideration, and tell you more about why we love events at this mansion. Contact us and we'll venue shop with you!
