Edwards  Mansion

Edwards Mansion by Wedgewood Events is a historic garden estate established in 1890 in Redlands, California. A landmark property where more than a century of cultivation has produced something no conventional event venue can replicate: grounds that feel genuinely alive, layered with fragrance, character, and a particular quality of light that elevates every gathering.

The estate's dedicated event environment, The Orangery, guides guests through a seamless sequence of beautifully distinct spaces, each with its own atmosphere and designed to make corporate retreats, galas, milestone celebrations, and private gatherings feel immersive rather than merely scheduled.

Events begin in one of two thoughtfully appointed hospitality suites. The Ivy Suite is verdant and serene, with walls traced by creeping greenery and soft natural light filtering through foliage-framed windows, an ideal space for VIP preparation, executive breakouts, or intimate pre-event gatherings. The Amber Den offers a warmer counterpoint: burnished tones, layered textures, and an intimate glow ideal for private meetings or speaker preparation.

Outdoor gatherings unfold beneath a wrought-iron gazebo set within the estate's citrus garden, one of the most photographically compelling settings in Southern California. Dark ironwork rises against a canopy of mature orange trees, their blossoms scenting the air as guests take in the garden itself, not just the adjacent one. The effect is one of genuine immersion: the landscape becomes a living backdrop for award ceremonies, product launches, or exclusive receptions.

The open-air plaza, a lattice-detailed, garden-enclosed space where a soft water feature introduces ambient sound and climbing vines catch dappled afternoon light, creates the perfect environment for networking receptions, cocktail hours, and alfresco gatherings. Guests move freely between conversation and greenery in a setting that rewards lingering and meaningful connection.

The main event takes place in the Looking Glass Pavilion, a glasshouse-style structure of black steel and structural glass that blurs the boundary between interior and exterior, making the distinction pleasantly irrelevant. By day, natural light floods the space through floor-to-ceiling panes while the surrounding garden presses close beyond the glass. By evening, ambient lighting doubles and multiplies on reflective surfaces, and the sky transitions from amber to deep indigo outside, while the interior takes on a quality of elegance that requires no enhancement. The Pavilion functions as a design collaborator,  amplifying décor, deepening floral installations, and giving every carefully chosen detail a setting worthy of it.

Edwards Mansion is located just off the I-10 freeway in Redlands, approximately one hour east of Los Angeles and 45 minutes from Palm Springs, with convenient access from San Bernardino, Riverside, and the greater Inland Empire. Nearby hotel accommodations include the Ayres Hotel Redlands and the Residence Inn by Marriott Loma Linda Redlands.

As part of the Wedgewood Events portfolio, Edwards Mansion combines the irreplaceable character of a historic private estate with professional event planning infrastructure, established vendor relationships, and experienced day-of coordination — so that every detail of your corporate event, gala, or celebration is as considered as the landscape that surrounds it.
