Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This striking Spanish Colonial Revival sanctuary whisks your guests away to a European-inspired courtyard estate right in the historic heart of Old Towne Orange. Originally designed by acclaimed architect Harold Gimeno, the masterfully reimagined property blends rich historic charm with crisp, light-filled architectural details. The breathtaking Grand Central reception hall is a true showstopper, with soaring 30-foot ceilings and exposed timber trusses that create a vast, airy blank canvas.
- Bounded by lush greenery and its century-old namesake trees, the Olive Grove evokes a dreamy Mediterranean oasis, complete with a charming stucco fireplace, glowing bistro lights, and a large central courtyard perfect for an al fresco dance floor. One truly unique touch? The live fire cooking stations built directly into the space, giving you the opportunity to treat your guests to an interactive dining experience—from innovative wood-fired pizza ovens to authentic Argentine asado grills.
- 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.
