A Venue Rooted in History and Elegance
Built in 1861 as part of Benicia’s Historic Arsenal, Jefferson Street Mansion was originally the Executive Officer’s Quarters. Its East Coast architects, inspired by French military heroes like Napoleon and General Lafayette, incorporated Empire-style design elements into the structure. After the arsenal was decommissioned in 1960, the mansion entered private ownership. In 1998, it was lovingly restored to its former glory, transforming into the boutique wedding venue it is today.
From the wisteria-draped veranda to the lush gardens and glimmering bay views, every corner of this venue offers a unique photo opportunity. Whether you’re hosting a ceremony under the fragrant wisteria, dancing beneath market lights in the tented pavilion, or capturing moments in the stunning period-inspired interior, Jefferson Street Mansion provides a backdrop that is both timeless and breathtaking.
