The hall features high ceilings with an intricate crisscross beam design and several large, circular chandeliers that provide warm lighting. The walls are painted white, giving the room a bright and airy feel, complemented by large windows that overlook the golf course allowing natural light to filter in.

Cocktail hour is held in one of 3 spaces. The first being be on the outside patio once again overlooking the golf course and pond. Inside the bar room which is the same bar as the reception, or lastly out front by the fountain and fireplace outside.

Now time to talk about one of the most often overlooked parts of choosing a wedding venue; the photo oppurtunities. Luckily Fallbrook Estate is a dream come true for wedding photographers because of its abundance of photo spots. The first time you are there they give you a map of their recomended spots for taking photos, but I'll just list my favorites here.

The Bridge is a fan favorite, just off of the golf course. It's a wooden bridge secluded in the forest surrounded by trees and other greenery. This is spot is best for golden hour photos and I recomend scheduling about hour before sunset due to the earlier sunset time of the mountains.

There are many spots around the golf course but my favorite is the one right off of the putting green behind the ceremony site. Not only is it convenient to get to during a rushed golden hour session, but the lighting is also better as the sun and mountains are behind it! The golf course with the pond and mountains in the background is also great, however if you want to use this spot I recomend blue hour or after the sun dips over the mountains.

Of course there is also many spots around the fountain and walkways covered with greenery.

For wedding party photos and family photos, the ceremony space is great but try to schedule photos here less than 2 hours from sunset for the best lighting. The courtyard area which is best if you need a nice spacious area 3-4 hours from sunset. Or on the golf course are all open spaces and work great for large groups.
