From the reviews
This 6 acre estate in the midst of Beverly Hills is a hidden gem! Built in 1911 by the Robinson family (owners of Robinson’s Department Stores) it was the first luxury estate built in the Beverly Hills area. It was gifted to LA County by Virginia Robinson in 1977, just before her death.
Getting married at Virginia Robinson Gardens
Virginia Robinson Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
