History
The beautiful ocean-view property where the Sesnon House at Cabrillo College sits was purchased in 1858 by the Porter family. The only daughter of the Porter family married into the Sesnon family and soon designed their summer mansion, the Pino Alto, in 1911. After World War II, the home was sold to the Salesian Order where it was maintained as a seminary and school until Cabrillo College purchased the property in 1978. Due to the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, the building was renovated and reopened in the fall of 1996.

A wonderful venue

Sesnon House is an amazing wedding venue. It's the perfect balance of a beautiful venue and amazing food at a great price. The students who do the catering are fabulous - we keep getting compliments about how incredible the food was. The coordinator, Kristen, is very responsive and organized, and she worked very hard to keep our wedding on-track and flowing. Highly recommend Sesnon House for your wedding.
