Padua Hills Theater Wedding: A Romantic Celebration in Claremont, CA

Share

Photography by: Robert Paetz Photography

About the venue

When the extremely talented Robert Paetz submitted this gorgeous wedding celebration, I knew I had to feature it. As a wedding planner I can attest to having planned hundreds of weddings at California’s best wedding venues. As a bride, I can only give testament to having planned my wedding at one location: Padua Hills Theater. Padua Hills is amazing (not that I am biased)! Nestled in the foothills above Claremont California, this historic theater provides Southern California brides an opportunity to capture the past and the present on their special day.
The adobe buildings feature traditional red-tiled roofs and extensive artisan ironwork. A spacious patio of aged brick and stone creates an incredible location for your ceremony. The iron Pergola is stunning when adorned with flowing fabrics and seasonal flowers in a bright color palette. While you exchange vows, your guests will enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of the quiet college community that rests below.

I Do Venues wants to recognize the talented team of wedding professionals who helped to make this bride’s dream a reality: Photographer – Robert Paetz Photography; Floral – Fiori Wedding Co.; Catering, Cake, Beverages, and Rentals – Padua Hills; Entertainment – Entertainment Express.
