Paramour Estate Wedding
Paramour Estate: Where Hollywood History and Weddings Collide
Perched majestically atop the hills overlooking Los Angeles, Paramour Estate stands as one of LA's most extraordinary wedding venues. This Mediterranean Revival masterpiece, built in 1923 by oil heiress Daisy Canfield and silent film star Antonio Moreno, offers couples a rare blend of historical grandeur and modern sophistication that captures the essence of Hollywood's golden era.
Distinctive Design & Hollywood Glamour
What truly sets Paramour apart is its bold aesthetic character that embodies classic Hollywood elegance with a contemporary twist. The mansion boasts an eclectic collection of avant-garde furniture and décor—think vibrant velvet sofas, whimsical chandeliers, and provocative art pieces that create a uniquely theatrical atmosphere worthy of Tinseltown's finest productions. Each room tells its own story through carefully curated furnishings that range from opulent antiques to contemporary statement pieces, creating an environment that's both sophisticated and surprisingly playful—perfect for couples seeking that distinctive LA flair.
We love Paramour for its perfect marriage of natural light and architectural distinction. The mansion's rich textures, from ornate tilework to wrought iron details, provide endless creative possibilities. Golden hour at Paramour is nothing short of magical, as sunset light bathes the estate's terra cotta façade and sprawling grounds. And the furniture! We could spend a whole week in there!

Versatile Ceremony & Reception Spaces
The 4.5-acre estate features multiple ceremony and reception spaces, from the meticulously manicured gardens to the grand ballroom with its original 1920s detailing. The outdoor terraces provide intimate settings for smaller ceremonies, while the expansive lawn can accommodate larger celebrations under the California sky. Indoor options include the dramatic main hall with its soaring ceilings and the more intimate library spaces, each offering distinct moods for different wedding moments.
Unparalleled Views & Photography Opportunities
The property's crown jewel remains its panoramic 360-degree views of the sprawling Los Angeles metropolis—a breathtaking backdrop for saying "I do" that rivals any Hollywood movie set.

“I've worked with the top photographers in the world and the photographs Callaway Gable produced for us can hold up with the top. My wedding book and photos are pure art. Brian and Alllison are true artists. I'm grateful they were the ones to document our love on our very special day. They captured our spirit as well as our faces. I'm indebted. “

A Rich Hollywood Heritage
Following Daisy's tragic passing in 1933, the 22,000-square-foot mansion served various purposes—from an exclusive girls' school to a Franciscan convent—before being restored to its original splendor as one of Los Angeles' most treasured landmarks. The estate's creative energy has attracted numerous Hollywood musicians to record here, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers who created their Grammy-winning album "Stadium Arcadium" within these inspiring walls. Paramore and other renowned LA artists have also drawn inspiration from this extraordinary space, adding another layer to its rich cultural legacy that continues to attract creative souls from across the entertainment capital.
Modern Amenities & Services
Beyond its historical charm, Paramour Estate offers contemporary conveniences essential for today's weddings. The venue provides comprehensive event coordination services, state-of-the-art sound systems, and customizable lighting options that enhance the mansion's natural drama. The professional kitchen facilities support full catering services, while multiple bridal suites offer elegant spaces for wedding party preparations.
Seasonal Considerations & Best Times to Visit
Los Angeles' Mediterranean climate makes Paramour Estate a year-round destination, though each season offers its own unique charm in the City of Angels. Spring brings blooming gardens and mild temperatures perfect for outdoor ceremonies with the Hollywood Hills as your backdrop, while summer evenings showcase the estate's dramatic sunset views over the sprawling LA metropolis. Fall provides that coveted golden California light that photographers dream of, and winter offers clear, crisp days with stunning city vistas stretching from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. There aren’t many big hotel chains nearby, so many guests choose some of the local arty boutique hotels like Hotel Covell and Silver Lake Pool & Inn.

Each wedding at Paramour becomes part of this storied estate's continuing legacy—a place where Hollywood's golden age elegance meets contemporary romance in the heart of Los Angeles. For couples seeking a venue as distinctive as their love story, this historic Hollywood Hills mansion offers an unparalleled setting where timeless beauty and unforgettable moments converge. The estate's unique blend of artistic flair, historical significance, and natural beauty creates an atmosphere that transforms weddings into truly cinematic experiences worthy of LA's entertainment legacy.
