Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding here on October 23rd, 2025. It was beautiful and the Epic team made the day as easy as possible. Our coordinator Drew was awesome - he gave us some great ideas to improve the event during our meetings and helped minimize our stress day-of. It went off without a hitch, and we couldn't be happier. The venue itself is also beautiful which a number of our guests commented on.

Working with The Colony House and 24 Carrots made things so easy! We were looking for somewhere with both indoor and outdoor space, and this venue had exactly what we wanted. The living plant wall is absolutely gorgeous, and the building itself is spacious without feeling empty. Shane helped us get everything set up at the beginning, and Cameron was amazing throughout the rest of the process. They were very communicative and flexible, and helped make every step as easy as possible leading up to the wedding day. We had a lot of changes with the guest counting leading up to the wedding, but Cameron was very helpful with updating everything quickly keep the layout balanced. On the day of the wedding, people kept coming to us to rave about the food, and we are still getting comments about it! Having parking available was also such a huge plus. We had an amazing wedding day thanks to the hard work of the catering and venue team here, and so grateful for everything they did to make it special.

The Anaheim Hotel was an amazing venue for our wedding weekend! We held our entire wedding weekend (Welcome Dinner, Ceremony and Reception) at the Anaheim Hotel and are so glad we chose to work with them. The poolside Cabana added a touch of elegance and allowed our guests to mingle in a relaxed atmosphere. Our guests enjoyed watching the Disneyland fireworks poolside as the night wound down. The Veranda Lawn is a beautiful space for a ceremony and the ballroom is a fun space for a reception - spacious enough for our large guest list, yet intimate enough for heartfelt moments. Jamie from the hotel was great to work with planning our weekend. She is detailed, accommodating and has an upbeat attitude. She listened to our preferences and made our dreams come true. A short example of her attention to detail and care: our wedding day was hotter than forecasted and on the day of, she asked if we would want to set up umbrellas for our guests to keep them comfortable. She had them set up on short notice, making sure they were placed them exactly as we had asked. That attentive and professional attitude extended to the staff, they anticipating our needs before we even asked. The hotel's ability to host both the ceremony and reception made planning so much easier. The food was quite good, nearly every guest completely finished their plate. The bar team is stellar, everybody enjoyed their drinks. If you are looking for a beautiful space that will seamlessly host your wedding, look no further. Bonus: Having guest rooms on-site made the entire weekend convenient for our out-of-town family and friends.
