The property is located in downtown Sacramento and is easy to get to from the freeways and city hotels. The grounds around the venue are stunning with with well manicured gardens and lawns. The historical mansion, which also serves as a bed and breakfast is one of the main buildings on the grounds.

This room is a large enough area for the men to get ready in and hang out before the start of the ceremony. The room has a big screen TV for them to watch sports or what ever they want to.
