Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This magnificent 1923 Georgian Colonial structure delivers a striking blend of stately historic elegance and vintage Hollywood glamour right in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. Designed by Walker and Eisen—the architects of such icons as the Oviatt and Fine Arts Building—the space was once the headquarters of the Southern Counties Gas Company before becoming a popular Prohibition-era speakeasy and Tinsel Town hangout. Today, it's a fully restored event venue—a place where your own history can begin.
- Grand Palladian windows bathe the Crystal Ballroom in gorgeous natural light, shimmering off the eponymous crystal chandeliers that drape from the soaring ceilings. We especially love cocktail hours in the ultra-cool Speakeasy, a tucked-away room found down a dark passageway, complete with a vintage player piano, luxe furnishings, and an expansive built-in bar, or invite guests step onto the gas-lit Veranda patio to mingle under the California twilight.
- All the details are managed by the experts at Jay's Hospitality Group, a third-generation, family-run team that streamlines your planning process by providing personalized coordination alongside full-service, handcrafted catering. You'll love having all-day access to the entire property, including a luxurious VIP suite, with the freedom to design the flow of your day in collaboration with the experienced staff—you bring the vision, and they'll make it a reality.
