“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. Kimberly, our coordinator, made our planning process and wedding day so chill & special for us. We really enjoyed our wedding day!!”

“My dream wedding included walking down the aisle to the man that I loved. Found the dream man, just needed the dream place. My goal was to find a place that had character in itself. The Chapel of Orange was everything that I imagined. I visited a coupled more places, but the Chapel of Orange stayed in my heart. It was the right decision. The Chapel has a magical blend of classical charm and whimsical beauty that created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Melissa was amazing throughout the planning process, and she, Cheryl, and the entire team worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the day unforgettable for us and our guests.

“The French Estate was the best venue for our wedding of 70 people! When we originally booked with the French estate they had not added their rental options and we ended up adding the "Essentials Package" a few months before our wedding, which was perfect. We don't live in Orange County so having access to the decor, linens, extra hands and get ready time was so helpful. Melissa was our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Nothing went wrong the entire day and I am so grateful for the entire French Estate team. As for the venue itself it is such a beautiful location that can be dressed up as much as you want. I went very minimal but the natural beauty of the gardens and house was enough for me! We also used Olgas Cocina (caterer) and Waveform (DJ) off of their vendor list and they were amazing! I couldn't recommend this venue more.”
