    Venue

    The Fullerton Community Center was the perfect venue for our rustic wedding vision. Their communication was excellent - they always responded to our emails within a day and were quick to call us back if we left a message. The space itself was absolutely beautiful, with an outdoor reception and ceremony area that brought our rustic theme to life. Although the train tracks were nearby, it didn't disrupt our wedding at all. The outdoor lighting made the space glow, and the staff was amazing in helping everything run smoothly. The venue was exactly what we had envisioned, and the price was incredibly reasonable for such a stunning DIY space. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.

    all-around great venue choice

    We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception here and couldn't be happier with our choice of venue. Zoey, the recreation coordinator, worked with us from booking until day-before rehearsal and last minute layout changes to accommodate an unexpected heat wave during our wedding. She was so helpful and professional and went above and beyond to make sure we had a plan A and plan B for the weather. We ended up moving the ceremony to the courtyard for shade and moving the reception inside to the grand hall, and it turned out beautifully. Not only was this an affordable option and we are happy with where our money went, but we received very professional, warm, and timely communication and assistance from Zoey from start to finish. Highly recommend hosting your wedding or event here!
