“We absolutely loved our experience at HC! The venue is beautiful, intimate, and doesn’t need a lot of decor to spruce it up. It’s gorgeous! Don’t let the noise ordinance scare you; our party was lit!!! Everyone was up & dancing and the sound was the perfect volume. Our guests were blown away by how pretty and comfortable this venue is. Some called it a magical garden- it truly was! Epic Events (coordinators) were AWESOME. I highly recommend working with them.

“We got married at the Wedgewood University Club in Irvine this past May, and I cannot recommend this venue and their staff enough! We were so lucky to have Brianna as our coordinator—she took such great care of us, and we absolutely loved working with her. She is incredibly nice, professional, and organized. Brianna was always on top of everything, supporting my husband and me and truly having our backs throughout the entire wedding process. The food was also fantastic! So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed their meals. On top of that, the entire staff was super helpful and responsive to any questions we had. If you want a smooth wedding planning process with a team that supports you every step of the way, I highly recommend them!”

“My review of The French Estate and their staff is long over due. In March 2026 we had a beautiful wedding for my brother and his wife. I helped my brother and his wife find this venue and from the beginning to the big day , everything was handled beyond our expectations. We ultimately chose this venue because it offered a Ceremony and Reception space, getting ready areas for both the Bride and Groom, and the best bonus of having an amazing venue coordinator help with the big day. My brother is a chef , and his biggest non negotiable was being able to cater food from a vendor of his choosing, a lot of other venues require you to use their caterer onsite , so The French Estate inclusive packages were perfect for making his vision come true. We booked the The Venue Essentials package that included all the tables and chairs, a venue coordinator , linens (saving us an additional expense), access to The French Estates decor, the setup and tear down of reception space and other adds were available. We took advantage of using the French Estate servers , and their venue bartender for cocktail hour and reception. The venue also provides a shuttle service for guests who park at the nearby structure, since the venue is on a residential street. The shuttle service on the day of the wedding worked perfectly to get all of our guests comfortably to the venue. WEDDING DAY On the day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly thanks to the venue coordinator , Alyssa. I live with Multiple Sclerosis , and thankfully Alyssa was there because without her the day of would have been a mess. She effortlessly handled ceremony, happy hour and reception decor setup while also making sure the bride and groom were always taken care of. She made sure our vendors were where they needed to be and set up on time. I really appreciate the care she took to make sure my brother and his wife got their dinner first, always had a drink and were happy. After dinner I wasn’t feeling well , and I was having a flare up and Alyssa made use I was comfortable and hydrated while i hid in the bridal suite. The serving staff was extraordinary making sure the older guests were comfortable by moving umbrellas during the reception , you can really feel the care from the staff and i really appreciate the hard work throughout the whole wedding. Also the bartender, Ross was so fun and kept the vibes high throughout the night and kept all the guests happy from cocktail hour and throughout the reception. My brother and his wife had the most amazing time , and most perfect beautiful wedding. Im so appreciative of The French Estate staff, you can really tell they love their jobs and enjoy what they do. The owners are amazing and I can give endless compliments to the venue coordinator,Alyssa. I will always highly recommend this venue to anyone I meet, and hopefully in the future this will be my wedding venue too !”

“From our first conversation with The Vintage Rose, we knew we'd found our venue. The team was responsive to every question and made themselves available whenever we needed them, which took so much stress out of the planning process. Our coordinator truly went above and beyond on the day of—when our florist didn't show up to move the centerpieces, she jumped in with the staff to handle it without us even knowing, so we could just focus on enjoying our day. The space itself is stunning and the pricing is amazing (especially with everything that is included!) which we really appreciated. Our families felt so welcomed by everyone there, the drinks never stopped, the DJ kept the dance floor full, and the food was delicious!

“Our experience with Orange Hill was amazing! We only had our reception there, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. The staff were all great and helpful. I definitely recommend having your reception here! It was so beautiful and honestly, for everything you get with the packages, it’s more affordable than a lot of venues we were looking at. We had 86 guests and chose the Elegance package in the Starlight room, and it came with the room, all of the food (4 passed around appetizers, salad, bread and butter, entree), an open bar for 2 hours, a custom cake, and a patio area. I would skip out on the upgrades like changing the chairs or linens. Save yourself some money there, because it’s still beautiful without those upgrades. The food was absolutely delicious! We did the steak and chicken, and it was super yummy. I was nervous after reading a few reviews online of the food not being as good as during the tasting because it’s being mass produced, but that wasn’t the case at all! The one thing not included anywhere in the info packets is that you have no other option than to valet park, so just know that your guests will either have to pay for that, or you can pay for everyone’s valet and it’s 10 per car. We ended up paying for everyone’s valet which was another 500 so just be prepared for that if you don’t want your guests to have to worry about paying. It was an amazing day!”
