A Brief History of
The Havens Country Club
The Havens Country Club, which was originally a private estate in the 1920s, has since been transformed into an 18-hole championship golf course and a sought-after events destination. It was known as the Vista Valley Country Club until 2024, when it was renamed The Havens. When guests visit the club, they're greeted by beautifully landscaped grounds and historic buildings that have been thoughtfully repurposed to accommodate all types of special occasions. The estate's commitment to maintaining its historic craftsmanship while integrating modern amenities has made it a premier event venue for couples seeking to experience the timeless appeal of a past era.

Wedding Ceremony & Reception Accommodations Offered by this Southern California Venue
The Havens Country Club is well-known for its ability to host elegant events and weddings, and it provides great options for both indoor and outdoor gatherings.
Couples who book their wedding here will have access to the Bridal Suite and Salon, which boasts large, draped windows, allowing in lots of natural light, as well as two step-out balconies. These balconies provide beautiful views of the property and make for stunning bridal portraits. The gentlemen generally get ready in the Library, which celebrates the clubhouse vibe with its leather furniture, wood bar, and walls lined with antique maps.
The Clubhouse
Couples can host an indoor ceremony in reception in the Mission Revival-style Clubhouse, which is reminiscent of a traditional Mediterranean abbey, with huge wooden doors, soaring archways, and a pale stone exterior. The main space inside is filled with incredible European-inspired details: an open-raftered ceiling, tiered wrought-iron candelabra chandeliers, delicate wall sconces, impressive tapestries, and an intricately carved wood fireplace that can serve as a frame for your sweetheart table. The Clubhouse can host 220 guests, or up to 270 guests when combined with the covered Southern Terrace.
Parkside Lawn
From here, Cocktail Hour and Reception can be hosted at the adjacent Parkside Lawn, lined with mature trees and lit by strings of market lights. The Provence Gardens and the Parkside Lawn can both accommodate up to 550 guests, making it the perfect site for larger weddings and events.
Provence Gardens
The Havens Country Club’s outdoor weddings take place in their Provence Gardens, marked by elaborate French gates and pillars at its entrance, and the sides are fitted with “viewing portals” — stone half-walls and open window frames from L'Orangerie in the south of France and date from the 1700s. These portals are a favorite spot for photos, and they add a pastoral, rustic feel to the space. Ceremonies in the Provence Gardens are held beneath a wooden pergola with stone columns and a beautiful nearby fountain.
North Chamber
For small, more intimate gatherings, they offer a beautiful chamber off of the main Clubhouse that can host 28 guests when fitted with their long banquet table, or 40 guests when set with small round tables. It serves as a private dining room and includes access to the Northern Terrace, making it perfect for small elopements or bridal showers.
