Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- If all the world is a theater, then why not have your wedding on one of its most beautiful stages? Located in the heart of the Costa Mesa theater and arts district (and just a short drive from miles of pristine beaches), this spectacular complex is anchored by two magnificent theater buildings joined by an expansive plaza.
- The Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall—perhaps the center’s most recognized building—is an architectural masterpiece with its 300-foot-long undulating glass façade and soaring lobby, complete with polished granite floor and circular staircase that feels made for dramatic entrances. For a more intimate ceremony and reception, reserve the Samueli Theater, which boasts an airy two-story lobby and a warm, neutral interior.
- Leatherby’s Café Rouge is a sleek setting for a sophisticated reception. At this restaurant, which has been rated “excellent” by the Los Angeles Times, guests will enjoy the impeccable services of Patina Catering, the exclusive caterer for all the event sites at the center. There are numerous additional outdoor spaces and smaller venues to consider, too, including various terraces, lobbies and the grand plaza, which can be tented or sectioned off for privacy.
