Jefferson Street Mansion by Wedgewood Weddings in CA 94510, open June–September.
Your guests arrive at a stately Victorian mansion in historic Benicia, California, where manicured grounds and period architecture immediately signal an elevated celebration.
The moment they step inside, soaring ceilings and original hardwood floors create an atmosphere of timeless elegance—no theatrics, just authentic grandeur.
Every corner of the 1063 Jefferson Street estate offers natural backdrops for photos and conversation spaces that keep your gathering feeling intimate rather than cavernous.
Stopped by for work related reasons. Beautiful property with a lot of history. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Looked like guests would have a nice view overlooking the water, part of the delta I assume, during ceremony. Inside would make for some really stylish classic photos. Definitely recommend for weddings or group gatherings.

Asked along the way.
What's included in the venue fee?+
Wedgewood Weddings' all-inclusive model covers the estate space, professional coordination, linens, basic décor, in-house catering, bar service, and staff. You control the menu and beverage selections within your budget.
Can we get married outdoors, or is this an indoor-only venue?+
The estate offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options on the grounds. The outdoor spaces are weather-dependent, so the mansion's interior rooms provide elegant backup ceremony locations.
How far is this from San Francisco or Oakland?+
Jefferson Street Mansion is approximately 45 minutes from San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge route) and 50 minutes from Oakland International Airport, making it accessible for out-of-state guests.
Does the venue offer accommodation for guests?+
The mansion itself is an event venue only. However, Benicia has several nearby hotels and bed-and-breakfasts within 5-10 minutes. Wedgewood can provide a list of partner accommodations and group rates.
What's the latest guest count this venue can handle?+
The estate comfortably seats up to 150 guests for a full reception. Smaller ceremonies of 20-50 people work equally well for intimate celebrations.
