Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This 1920s Santa Ana gem is bursting with vintage charm, outfitted with a red brick facade, a built-in mirrored oak bar, and stained glass windows. Once a AAA headquarters and service station, it's now a beloved event center, retaining all its historic warmth while offering plenty of modern perks.
- Just about everything is included in their packages, from ceremony setup to cuisine to catering staff—even the ringing of the historic Mission wedding bell to herald your nuptials. The terracotta tile floors are perfect for taking a first dance spin, with bistro lights strung overhead and a sweet antique streetlamp adding a romantic glow.
- From its affordable, transparent pricing to its welcoming staff, it's the kind of place that immediately "feels like home." With decades of experience and menus full of comfort-food favorites, your celebration will feel thoughtful, warm, and truly you.
