Description
The heart of this museum is the old H. Clay Kellogg House, a lovingly restored 1898 Victorian that sits amid ten acres of historical gardens and turn-of-the-century buildings. Created to preserve Orange County’s cultural heritage, the museum takes you back to the early 1900s: while you’re walking along its jasmine-covered walkways, or through its orange groves and rose garden, you’ll think you’ve stepped back in time onto a country estate. The great thing about weddings here is that all the local businesses close for the weekend, and you can have a rock n’ roll band without disturbing a soul.
The Centennial Heritage Museum has recreated a gracious past, and weddings are often inspired by the setting’s peaceful Victorian ambiance. While you can’t host your wedding inside, a stroll around the Kellogg House—outfitted with the utmost in Victoriana—is enough to set the mood. The spacious lawns lend themselves to a number of possibilities for parties and receptions, and the gazebo is popular for ceremonies.
The flexible and experienced Centennial Heritage Museum staff are happy to accommodate your special needs in every way they can. All proceeds from weddings and receptions go to support the Museum’s nonprofit programs, which provide "hands-on" historical enrichment for visitors. The day we were there we saw busloads of happy, excited school kids learning about harvesting oranges, churning butter, and having a ball dressing up in period clothes. Not only is the Centennial Heritage Museum a lovely place to host your wedding, you’ll have the satisfaction of benefiting a wonderful cultural resource.
