your stay
-
Perched high above the Pacific coastline, Hearst Castle becomes more than a landmark this week. For seven days, the estate transforms into a private sanctuary of love, history, and modern storytelling.
Originally built as a retreat for artists, dignitaries, and visionaries, the castle’s legacy continues through curated experiences across its terraces, gardens, and halls. From candlelit dinners in the Refectory to moonlit walks past the Neptune Pool, each corner has been thoughtfully reimagined to hold space for connection, beauty, and memory.
This isn’t just a venue. For one week, it’s home.
-
Over the course of seven days, the historic Hearst Castle becomes more than a setting, it becomes yours.
Reserved entirely for Zuri & Julian’s celebration, the estate has been transformed into a private, living resort. Expect mornings framed by coastal light, days marked by thoughtful experiences, and evenings that echo with intimacy, beauty, and story. From your villa to the Roman Pool, every detail has been curated to welcome you into legacy and leave you with something lasting.
-
As a guest of the ceremony and reception, you’ll be part of an extraordinary moment in a breathtaking setting. We insist you stay in our guest hotel for smooth coordinated arrivals, warm hosting, and seamless transitions between spaces, your experience will feel both elegant and effortless.
Please RSVP your stay by April 20th
