El Adobe De Capistrano 

5.0

San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The traditional Mexican Palenque was an arena that hosted many large parties and even battles that date back to a Mayan civilization that still stands today in Chiapas, Mexico. El Adobe added the Palenque Room to match this Mexican event space concept and host larger parties of its own. Weddings had long since been taking place at El Adobe but with the new Palenque Room and Chapel location in the adjacent Garden, it gave guests a dedicated space to host a grand wedding celebration with up to 250 guests in attendance. One of the most well-known features of this room is the retractable ceiling that opens up almost 40ft across to expose the skies above San Juan Capistrano. The room and its Garden have evolved over time adding a full bar of its own and spacious restrooms to accommodate the larger guest count. However, it still holds its original style and beauty where thousands have come to celebrate their special events and gather their friends and families for an unforgettable night.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Offers convenient lodging options
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Dance floor not included
As a wedding planner, I have had the pleasure of working with El Adobe de Capistrano countless times, and I can say with confidence that they are truly a standout venue. Their communication style is attentive and organized, which is so important when coordinating a seamless event. The quality of their work is exceptional - their food is delicious, and the service provided by their wonderful staff is simply incredible. It is so important that I guide my clients to venues that I trust wholeheartedly, and El Adobe is most certainly that!
